Emmerdale aired some dramatic scenes tonight after the fall out from the horrifying cliff plunge. The ITV soap aired some big scenes yesterday when John Sugden pulled his husband Aaron Dingle off the cliff.
A horrified Robert Sugden watched on as he was framed for what happened, with ambulances racing to the scene to try and save both of them who had plunged off the cliff.
Speaking about how it all came about, Danny – who plays Aaron – revealed: “Aaron’s worked it out so he’s trying to get back to the village but John knows he’s worked it out and he realises what’s happened and it’s just about finding out who John really is and getting him to the police station and putting him away for the rest of his life.”
Oliver shared: “John knows this is his endgame playing out. If he goes over the cliff on his own, these two will reconcile and he gets the life he wants – and the last thing he wants is for his brother to get the life he has.”
In sad scenes, a terrified Robert rushes to Aaron’s side in hospital as he fears for his ex lover’s life. Understandably, Robert is less worried about John’s fate but he is still struggling with what has just happened.
Everyone rushes to the hospital to be with Aaron and John, including Chas – who is terrified she’s about to lose her son after all that he’s been through. No one seems to have any idea what happened – but they’re blaming Robert.
“John can adapt to situations, he puts on a strong persona to get his own way and maintain control,” Oliver – who plays John – revealed previously, “Now he’s built this ego for himself he’d never want to display that vulnerability to his loved ones because it equals weakness. What if they disown him? It’s too late to be honest.”
At the end of tonight’s episode, the police come by to the hospital and arrest Robert for the cliff top fall – but could this be the end of Robert and is Aaron – who arrested on the way to hospital – and is John going to make it out alive?
Ryan teased: “Everything is getting blamed on Robert and no one believes him. Maybe Robert might leave – maybe.” He then added: “John and Aaron are going to be falling over the cliff – will they survive, will they not?” with Danny sharing: “I think it’s more about which one survives – if any. That’s a good teaser.”
