If you thought the tragedy of Bear and April was dark enough, then wait for John Sugden – the man who has just returned to the village with a horrific plan: to kill his own brother, Robert Sugden.

John was once a wanderer, haunted by feelings of betrayal.

He believes Robert stole everything – from his possessions to his love.

Now, he returns not to make peace, but to end it all with blood.

In the upcoming episode, John is seen attaching an explosive device under Robert’s car, while Robert is completely unaware.

This scene has been called “the climax of revenge” by the British media. When Aaron Dingle – Robert’s husband – unexpectedly appears, John must choose between fleeing or detonating the bomb right in front of the woman he once loved. That choice left viewers breathless, as all three characters shared intertwined emotional connections – turning everything into an inescapable tragedy.

Emmerdale fans on social media are going crazy with the theory that John will actually detonate the bomb, but Robert survives thanks to… Bear – who happened to pass by and save him. If this happens, it would create a crossover between the three biggest storylines of the season.

Regardless of the ending, John’s return and the transformation of hatred into murder officially opened a bloody new chapter in Emmerdale history. No longer just minor conflicts between residents, it’s a true battle for survival – where loved ones turn against each other, and love transforms into hatred.
