Emmerdale has lined up a “terrifying” discovery for Paddy Dingle which could lead to John Sugden’s downfall.
After seemingly getting one more murder under his belt (RIP Mackenzie Boyd), villain John is preparing to make his great escape from the village. Together with his husband Aaron Dingle, John believes he can put his crimes in his rear view mirror and begin a new life.
However, the medic might not get his happily ever after, as a shocking discovery could reveal his sinister actions.
Next week’s episodes will see Paddy Dingle coming to a “terrifying” realisation while scrolling on his laptop.
Though it’s unclear what exactly he will find, the mysterious information could be linked to John, who unknowingly shared his guilty conscience with Paddy via an anonymous online helpline.
“Paddy’s shock discovery could relate to a couple of ongoing storylines,” our Emmerdale source points out.
“Recently, we’ve seen the village vet volunteering on a helpline in his spare time – but guilty John Sugden was one of the people he was chatting to. Is he about to put the pieces of the puzzle together and realise Aaron is in danger with John?
“Paddy is also currently oblivious to how his father Bear is homeless and alone, rather than staying with a friend as he claimed when he left the village. Could he realise what’s going on?”
Meanwhile, it’s not just Paddy who could foil John’s upcoming escape plans, as Aaron will also grow suspicious of his husband next week. When Charity Dingle considers contacting the police about Mack’s disappearance, Aaron notices John’s guilty reaction.
