Emmerdale viewers have been left frustrated after the latest episode seemingly brought John Sugden‘s dramatic storyline to an end with little fanfare.
Following weeks of high-stakes tension, many fans took to social media to label the conclusion “stupid” and “anticlimactic”. And they’re now hoping the soap has one final twist up its sleeve.
So was that really the last we will see of killer John?

Caleb acted to save John from Cain in Emmerdale tonight
After Caleb agreed to transport John abroad in exchange for his silence over Anthony, it was revealed he had in fact double-crossed the killer. Instead, Caleb drove John to some woodlands where Cain was waiting with a gun.
At the end of Tuesday night’s episode, the gun was fired. But we didn’t see who was shot. Tonight (Wednesday September 24) it was revealed that the gunshot was a stray into the air.
In order to stop Cain shooting John, Caleb hit him over the head with a shovel and knocked him out. The gun went off, but no one was hit.
Caleb then demanded medic John help an unconscious Cain. John agreed – as long as they went back to their original plan. John also reminded him he had scheduled an email to send to the police about Anthony’s murder if Caleb didn’t get him abroad. He then checked on Cain before they put him in the boot of his car.
John hid in the back of the van as they continued with their plan to head to Rotterdam. Caleb was stopped by Border Patrol, who checked the truck.
An officer got into the back of the van briefly, made a joke about a cuddly dog and then went on his merry way. After that oh-so-thorough check, John breathed a sigh of relief from under a sheet.
