John in Emmerdale really is a superhero! Not only can he be a farmer and
a boxing trainer but it turns out he can also save lives due to his medical training in the army.
But after he performed emergency surgery on Aaron last night (Thursday
November 7) fans were left even more suspicious of him than before – and that’s saying something! They are sure he’s not all he seems and it’s really niggling at them just who he might be…
John saves Aaron’s life in Emmerdale
Things have been a little tense between John and Aaron this week. John, who clearly doesn’t have social media and has never seen the Robron hashtag, realised just ‘how deep’ Robert and Aaron’s relationship was.
Feeling insecure he pushed Aaron for answers on his feelings for Seb and for Robert now. But in true Aaron fashion, he clammed up and stormed off. And then refused to give John the time of day.
But with Aaron attending Billy and Ross’s fight, John was worried, especially when he found out the police were on their way. So he rushed to the barn to break up the fight and get Aaron out.
However in the commotion, Aaron confronted one of Jade’s goons and was punched in the chest. It caused his lung to collapse and John had to act quickly to save Aaron‘s life.
Performing emergency surgery with the help of an old biro, John managed to drain the air out of Aaron’s lung, and stablise him until the ambulance arrived.
Fans’ suspicions of John grow
With all these heroics you’d think John would be Mr Popular, but it seems not with viewers! They are now even more suspicious of him than they were before.
“Anyone else sick of John being the hero every five seconds. ‘I’m saving his life’. He’s always in life saving situations,” sighed one on social media.
Another agreed: “This storyline gets worse and worse. Now we’ve got John of all trades saving lives!!”
“John, boxing trainer, doctor, surgeon, paramedic, mechanic, farm worker, genius, hero. Veteran. He was homeless living in a van last week,” joked one more.
A fourth speculated: “John is getting on my nerves. He pops up constantly to save the day. I can’t believe he’s who we’re being led to believe…”
“Maybe I’m wrong but maybe John is supposed to be too good to be true kind of thing?” queried a fifth.
A final person added: “I swear John can do everything. He’s too perfect. Truly was expecting him to solve the police case, drive the ambulance, and fix the vending machine.”
Is the superhero, Mr Perfect, routine just an act?
Who is John Sugden in Emmerdale?
There has been speculation since John arrived that he is not really a Sugden. This week a fan theory suggested he was connected to Robert having knew him in prison.
John was hiding a mysterious secret when he first arrived and clutching on to some dog tags with the name Aidan Moore. Was he really Aidan Moore? Had he killed Aidan Moore? Was Aidan Moore another Sugden brother? Everyone wanted to know and then it was revealed – mid-episode – in a real damp squib that he was an army mate who John had failed to save. Tragic, sure, but really worthy of all this build-up? No.
So it’s possible that was just the tip of the iceberg and there’s more to his story. We hope so, for John’s sake, because fans aren’t happy so far!
