Emmerdale explodes when the truth about John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) is revealed.

Thought to have died after falling from a cliff, John suddenly reappears – not as a defeated man, but as a fake “victim”, cleverly exploiting everyone’s pity.

While he is still free out there, Robert (Ryan Hawley) is arrested by the police.

Robert repeatedly pleads his innocence, asserting that John is not harmless but is the culprit, even torturing Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb).

But his pleas are ignored. The police believe the distorted evidence that John has fabricated, causing Robert to sink deeper into prison. The audience will surely “boil their blood” when they see the righteous being bound, while the wicked are at large.

John continued to act perfectly in front of everyone, pretending to be in pain, telling half-truths and half-lies to distract them. He turned Robert into the attacker, while he himself “shined” like a man crushed by life. This reversal created a great tragedy: justice was distorted, making everyone wonder, is there anyone brave enough to expose John’s true face?
