Aaron Dingle John Sugden Mackenzie Boyd Robert Sugden Share By Jade Brown Sep 18 2025 By Jade Brown Sep 18 2025 Mack was finally rescued in Emmerdale tonight, but John is on the run and Robert is still stuck in prison. The villagers were in shock as news spread about John’s secret life, but one thing seems to have been forgotten in all this – an innocent man is behind bars for something he didn’t do. While fans are relieved that Mack is OK, the episode’s ending has annoyed viewers – particularly the lack of acknowledgment that Robert Sugden was right. Mack woke up in hospital (Credit: ITV) Mack got out of the bunker The episode opened with Mack injecting himself with the syringe left behind by John. As he hallucinated images of Charity, it didn’t seem like Mack had long left to live. Meanwhile, at the hospital, a drowsy Aaron managed to share that Mack was in a bunker near the cottage. Charity immediately dashed to the scene. She was told to go home by DS Jordan, but of course she didn’t listen. article continues below Read all the latest spoilers Charity followed the police team as they combed the woods. When the bunker was located, Charity immediately dashed down the steps – despite the risk that she’d be contaminating a crime scene. John had clearly got to the bunker first as Mack was no where to be seen. But for once, John had done the right thing – the only time we saw him in this episode was outside the hospital, where he dumped Mack in a wheelchair and legged it again. In the hospital, Moira informed Chas that things weren’t looking good for Mack. “He’s got a broken shoulder, a shattered ankle. He’s dehydrated, malnourished and full of drugs. Should I go on?” Moira called Charity, telling her to get to the hospital quick. But upon Charity’s arrival, things seemed brighter as Mack opened his eyes and asked Charity if he was dreaming. Cain was distraught to discover the truth about Nate (Credit: ITV) John is on the run as Cain discovered truth about Nate Cain Dingle returned to the hospital, having been up in Scotland. After his family filled him in, Cain shared that he’d given John a lift to the cottage, but didn’t know where he was now. After telling his mum that John was the reason he was in hospital, Aaron later told Chas that there was so much more to the story. Meanwhile, Victoria confided in Paddy that Robert had a theory that John killed Nate. She soon shared this news with Cain, who was understandably devastated. At the hospital, Paddy told Moira, with Chas confirming that it was true – as Aaron had just told her the same thing. Moira rushed to Cain’s side at the cemetery. He was beside himself as he pointed out that John “spoke at Nate’s funeral”. Police continued to look for John, but after leaving Mack at the hospital, his whereabouts remain unknown. Robert is still in locked up (Credit: ITV) Fans angry that Robert is still in prison Victoria spoke to Robert on the phone and apologised for not believing him. And when Chas said John fooled everyone, Aaron responded: “Well, not everyone.” But largely, Robert’s innocence was ignored and fans are not happy that no one is pushing for him to be released from prison. “Barely anyone acknowledging that Robert was right about everything and is still sitting in prison because of their collective stupidity,” wrote one fan on X. A second fan said: “There better be way more to this apology from every single person in that village when he gets out. Because it’s greatly deserved after all of this.” “Everyone is talking about Robert’s ‘theories’, but no one actually pushed to have him released?” said a third fan. “For the love of God, free Robert Sugden NOW!!” demanded a fourth fan. While a fifth fan added: “Listen. I know there’s a lot going on right now. Aaron’s just woken up, Mack is half dead, everyone is just now finding out John killed Nate. But can we maybe idk talk to the police & get Robert out of prison, since he’s in there for a crime he didn’t commit?” Another fan wrote: “I cannot believe I watched a double episode of Emmerdale where the whole village finally finds out the truth about John, and Robert is STILL LOCKED UP !! Guys, they don’t have hair gel in prison!!!” Read more: Who’s leaving Emmerdale? All the cast exits, arrivals and returns What else happened in Emmerdale tonight, Thursday September 18 While some villagers reeled in shock about John, life went on elsewhere in Emmerdale tonight. Particularly for April, who had to think fast when she was caught on a drugs run by PC Swirling. Elsewhere, Bernice and Nicola buried the hatchet. April was caught out April met up with a young lad for the drugs drop, but just as she was about to remove the package from her bag, PC Swirling appeared. Thinking on her feet, April said she didn't know the boy and claimed he was just asking for the time. Swirling insisted on taking April home. Once back in the village, he informed Rhona that he had found her in a dodgy area near Leeds. April lied to Rhona that she had been meeting a friend who she lived in a squad with during her homeless period. April then got emotional with guilt when her dad and Rhona were understanding and informed April how proud of her they were. Ray had doubts about April in Emmerdale tonight Ray of course found out about the failed drug drop and he met Dylan to fill him in. He told Dylan that April is too flakey and becoming a liability. However, Dylan insisted that April will keep quiet. Dylan later spoke to April about what went down and told her what Ray said. April was annoyed that they think she could be a grass. April calmed down and said she couldn't wait for their debt to be paid. But when Dylan mentioned them renting a flat together, she quickly left. Dylan got a new job Dylan arrived for his interview at the Depot wearing one of Paddy’s ties. Caleb said it would be an informal chat, but "general manager" Jai had other ideas. Jai asked Dylan some tough and personal questions about his past drug use. Caleb was pleased with how Dylan handled himself and said he thinks he and Dylan have a lot in common. Dylan soon panicked with the line of questioning and walked out. But Jai tracked him down to the Hide and confided that he too is a recovering drug addict. He then told Dylan that the job is his if he wants it. Nicola accepted Bernice's apology in Emmerdale tonight Nicola popped in to see Bob and was shocked to see Bernice in a dressing gown. Realising Bernice must have stayed the night, Nicola angrily told Bob that Bernice was the enemy. Bob responded: "Not last night she wasn’t." TMI, Bob. Bernice later tried to make up with Nicola. But Nicola had a go at Bernice for not getting in touch ever even when Angel was taken away or during the situation with Tom. As Bernice headed to the taxi with Gabby, Vinny and Thomas (who were off to Portugal for their honeymoon), Nicola watched on. But she eventually shouted out that she accepted Bernice's apology and the two sisters hugged. Share Good to Know Share By Jade Brown Sep 18 2025 By Jade Brown Sep 18 2025
