Aaron disturbed in early Emmerdale ITVX release as John hides another killer secret after Mack

They both decided they needed a break from family drama, but agreed that if they like the area, they might move there permanently.

Aaron told John today that he was actually warming to the idea of living in a place like the cottage. He said that they could even buy the place from the landlord and do it up, because the creepy dolls staring back at him are hardly a USP.

John seemed reluctant to dig further into this but told Aaron he would just to please him. A while later, he wandered back to the house on the phone.

He got off the device and hid it behind his back. John claimed that the landlord wasn’t interested in selling up, but his phone confirmed that he wasn’t even on a call.

The couple then got ready to go to the pub. It was at this point Aaron got a little bit distracted. He wandered through a hallway upstairs and noticed a door he hadn’t really paid much attention to. He tried to open it, but it was locked.

John then appeared. He stuck his head round the wall and it startled Aaron. John attempted to reassure Aaron by saying that rental properties sometimes have locked rooms that keep cleaning products in, or stuff the landlord wants to keep safe. Aaron joked, telling John that theory could be true…or the landlord could be a complete weirdo and is actually hiding something much darker.

Aaron then left but before John did, he couldn’t resist just double checking the door was definitely locked. But why did he do this? Was he being nosy like Aaron, or is there something concerning the other side?

Ever since John shot Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) with a bow and arrow, we’re starting to see signs that he’s becoming more deranged and uncontrollable.

On Monday, he attempted to shoot a deer with his weapon, but couldn’t bring himself to do so.

He headed back to the house and asked Aaron if he thinks he is weak. His partner said he’s the strongest man he’s ever met, and this was enough to make John feel amazing.
