Corriedale has brought John Sugden’s reign of terror to a dramatic end, with scenes suggesting his own sister Victoria may be the one who killed him.
John’s return was never going to be quiet. When he resurfaced over the Christmas period, his intentions were chillingly clear – he wanted Robert and Kev dead so he could finally have Aaron to himself. It was a plan rooted in obsession, and one that was always destined to unravel.
Kev managed to escape and warn Aaron about John’s return, but by the time Aaron got home, John already had Robert in his clutches. What followed in tonight’s episode (January 5) was something viewers had never seen before, as Emmerdale and Coronation Street collided in a historic crossover that ended with John’s death.
John VS Aaron Corriedale showdown
Aaron played a dangerous game, convincing John that he wanted to be with him. He knocked Robert unconscious, kissed John, and promised they could finally run away together.
But it was all a ruse. Once they reached John’s car, Aaron seized the gun and took control, forcing John to drive towards the police station and confess to everything he’d done. Unsurprisingly, John had no intention of going quietly.
