Aaron catches John out

On Thursday August 29 we saw John lie to Aaron that the landlord of the cottage didn’t want to sell it to them. Aaron was disappointed, but believed his husband. However he was suspicious of the locked bedroom door.

And he was right to be because in Friday’s episode, the neighbour revealed the owner had been a woman and had been dead for over a year. Aaron wanted answers so picked the lock and discovered – yep, we all guessed it – John’s childhood bedroom.

So just why has John been keeping that secret, eh?

John turned up right at that point and spun yet another cover story. One which, yet again, Aaron seemingly bought.

But after they made a big decision about their future, sneaky Mr Sugden headed back into the woods where he has been spending a lot of time lately.

And that’s when another huge secret was revealed. We won’t spoil it for you – if you’re desperate to know, head to ITVX or YouTube now. If not, we’ll be back here after tonight’s ep with the full lowdown on what it means for the future.

Next week for John and Aaron in Emmerdale spoilers

What we can say now is that Aaron is in huge danger next week. He and John return to the village for lunch with Chas and to tell her they are definitely moving away. But Chas can sense something is off and it’s clear Aaron is having doubts about his husband.

When Robert finds out the news, he storms round to talk Aaron out of leaving. He begs him to see he’s making a mistake. But when he moves in for a kiss, will Aaron respond?

It’s clear Aaron is struggling with his feelings and keen to regain control, John decides to drug him. He spikes Aaron’s whiskey and when one glass takes hold, John has him exactly where he wants him.

But when John pops out, Aaron decides to have another glass of the drugged drink – could it prove fatal?
