Emmerdale’s John Sugden is set to take drastic action next week as he prepares to kill his husband Aaron Dingle, who is currently in a coma after being pushed off a cliff by John

A sneak peek of next week’s Emmerdale has unveiled the chilling moment John Sugden gears up to permanently silence his husband, Aaron Dingle.

Aaron is privy to all of John’s dark secrets but is currently comatose after being hurled off a cliff by John. Having survived the fall and regained consciousness, John has been pointing fingers at Robert Sugden, his brother and Aaron’s ex, accusing him of pushing them both off the cliff.

The villagers and police are under the impression that Robert attempted murder out of jealousy, oblivious to the fact that Robert’s allegations about John being a killer are indeed true.

They remain unaware that Mack Boyd is shackled in an underground bunker, left to die by John who has kept him captive for weeks.

Everything hinges on Aaron regaining consciousness to unmask John, liberate Robert and rescue Mack. As John swears to end Aaron’s life, it remains to be seen whether this will transpire next week.

In the aftermath of the terrifying incident, John plans to stealthily enter Aaron’s hospital room when it’s deserted. Keeping mum about his clandestine visit, he appears set to execute the threat he made to Aaron earlier this week, reports the Mirror.

In a previous episode, we saw John warn Aaron that he couldn’t allow him to wake from his coma, vowing to kill him. A new snippet set to air next Wednesday shows Aaron still in a coma, battling for his life.

John bides his time until the nurses vacate the room before he slips in, making sure no one spots him. We see Aaron unconscious as John steps into the room and quietly shuts the door behind him.

The fate of Aaron hangs in the balance, leaving viewers on tenterhooks. Will John be his downfall? Or will justice catch up with John first?

Eager fans will have to wait until next week’s episodes for answers, as Oliver Farnworth, who portrays John, hinted at potential peril ahead during a chat with The Mirror.

Naturally, the actor couldn’t spill the beans on upcoming plot twists or the storyline’s conclusion, so it’s possible he’s merely leading us astray. However, could his cryptic remarks suggest more characters are in jeopardy?

Oliver ominously stated that “everyone is in danger”, but we’ll just have to wait and see how events unfold.

Friday’s episode saw Matty Barton imploring Victoria Sugden to heed her incarcerated brother Robert’s words, casting doubt over the truth behind John and Aaron’s predicament.
