Fans worried for Aaron as John raises ‘major red flags’ with ‘controlling’ behaviour
John’s got Aaron where he wants him
Fans of Emmerdale have been left worried for Aaron as John Sugden showed off a series of ‘red flags’ during last night’s episode of the soap. This came as Aaron informed him that mum Chas wanted him to go to the police to beating Anthony prior to his disappearance.
Worried that John couldn’t be trusted, Chas left Aaron with doubts about John. Returning home, he told John that Chas wanted to go to the police, and again asked where the body was – and how he could be so cool about the situation.
John hit back, fuming that Aaron hadn’t told him about Chas’s plan. “I thought you loved me,” he said, worried that Chas was planning on throwing him under the bus. “I put my life on the line to save your skin. Just you remember that.
An understandable fear, given he’s covered up a murder for them all – but his delivery had some concerned.
Emmerdale fans worry for Aaron amid ‘red flags’
Writing on a Reddit thread, fans shared their fears for Aaron, who was on the receiving end of John’s manipulation.
“Is it just me or is John showing his manipulative, controlling side?” asked one fan.
“Yep. “I thought you loved me” was a huge red flag,” replied another.
“Manipulative, secretive, controlling, and proper creepy,” a third commented.
“Yeah as soon as he said that line I thought that, it’s the sort of thing Tom would have said to Belle,” pointed out a fourth, invoking the name of Tom King.
John revealed Anthony’s final resting place on Emmerdale last night
Looking to claw back some control over the situation, John relented and showed Aaron where he’d buried Anthony. Meeting Aaron, Chas, Caleb, Cain and Ruby out in the woods, John revealed Anthony’s makeshift grave – under a trunk in the ice and snow.
This seemed to satisfy those with nagging doubts, and Chas put her plan to call the police on the back-burner. Later, Ruby returned to her dad’s final resting place, where she let out a cry of anguish.
But is John telling the truth? Some fear that he’s still manipulating the situation and speculation grows as to whether Anthony really is buried there – or even really dead at all. Can Aaron trust John?
