Mackenzie Boyd could be making a surprise exit from Emmerdale – as he rattled killer John Sugden. Villain John arrived in the village a few months back as the half brother of Victoria Sugden.
Whilst in the village, John – played by Oliver Farnworth – has quickly become close to Aaron Dingle and even plans to marry him, but John is hiding a dark secret. He killed Nate Robinson in a shock twist and has hidden that secret for months.
In tonight’s episode, Mack found himself in grave danger. Victoria had been adamant she wanted some of John’s friends at his upcoming stag do ahead of his wedding to Aaron, so she decided to get in contact with them.
However, shockingly, Connor – an old friend – revealed that Aidan Moore, who Victoria was thought to have died in an army exercise, is actually in a coma in hospital and not dead and she instantly wondered why he had lied.
When she confronted John about the truth, he said he didn’t want Aaron to know and kept the secret to herself. However, a chance meeting between Mack and Connor led to the rival asking about his “deepest darkest secrets”.
Under cover of creating the best man speech, Mack quizzed Connor on John. He raced back to tell Aaron what he had found out about John, just as the villain was arriving home.
Instead of being able to get in, he was stopped from entering by Mack. He ordered him to get away from the village and never come back, but has Mack taken on the wrong person in John and he is now in danger himself?
John has been responsible for multiple heartbreaks and drama in the village so far including killing Nate, as well as framing Ella Forster for targeting Chas and Liam, and he also made Jacob have an allergic reaction so he could save him. What will happen to Mack now he knows the truth – and is he in more danger than he ever realised?
Warning there was lots of big things to come, Oliver – who plays John – said: “Yes, there’s lots of big stuff coming up. I guess with the sort of web that John’s woven for himself in the back of his mind, he’s anticipating people to start being suspicious, secrets to come out and people to start finding things out.
“He’s probably got a few set pieces prepared in his mind for dealing with all of this, but really what he’s had to do so far is just kind of think on his feet and adapt to situations around him. I’m sure this will all change soon. And the jeopardy at stake for him now is that he’s got his whole life in Emmerdale Village. He’s got the love of his life, Aaron, he’s got a family that he never had. He does not want to lose all that, under any circumstances. There’s going to be a few battles ahead, I think.”
