John’s ‘real motive’ for wanting Anthony dead ‘worked out’ by Emmerdale fans who think they had a ‘secret link’
Some think John and Ruby are siblings
As John Sugden continues to look suspicious to Emmerdale fans, many believe they have ‘worked out’ the true reason he may have wanted Anthony dead.
John jumped into hero mode for Aaron when he found out about Anthony’s death. But he definitely gave the impression that he had covered up a murder before.
When John first arrived in Emmerdale, fans immediately did not trust him. And now with the growing theories that he actually killed Anthony, fans think they know why.
John’s secret link to Anthony
Ever since it was revealed that Anthony had sexually abused Ruby when she was younger, and was actually Steph’s dad, fans have wanted the vile man off their screens. And they got their wish.
Emmerdale aired Anthony’s death last week after Aaron brutally beat him up. But by the time he and John went back to the Depot to check on him, he was dead. However, viewers know there was enough time for someone else to finish the job. And now are just waiting for the twist to be revealed.
With many suspecting John was the one behind the murder, up until now his motives for wanting Anthony dead have been unclear. But fans believe there was a secret link we never knew about.
Viewers have theorised that John Sugden isn’t a Sugden at all. But instead is Ruby’s brother. And they believe that he wanted to deal the final blow to his dad.
Commenting on a Facebook post, one fan wrote: “I think Anthony’s real killer is John? Who turns out to be Ruby’s brother.”
Another backed it up, adding: “I thought a brother had been mentioned previously?”
While a third simply wrote: “Love child maybe?”
The theory not only helps further the Anthony plot, but it also provides fans more knowledge of John. Because let’s face it, there’s something off about him.

So could John have been protecting his sister from their dad? Or had he also had horrible experiences with Anthony and wanted to get his own revenge?
And if the theory doesn’t come true, there is still a question mark over John.
Most fans agree that he isn’t who he says he is. Some believe he is really the mysterious Aidan Moore, who he said died in Afghanistan. But others believe he killed Aidan, and has a murderous side.
Either way, concern has grown for Aaron as John now has the chance to hold this secret over him.
