In an upcoming Emmerdale twist, Victoria’s persistence in getting to know her half-brother Jon Sugden backfires as she stumbles upon a shocking secret he’s been hiding. Since arriving in the village, Jon has kept his past close to his chest, refusing to talk about his life, particularly his history as an army medic. Victoria has tried repeatedly to break down his walls, but Jon has been evasive, uninterested in both his past and getting closer to his newfound family.

Tensions between the siblings rise when Jon seems indifferent to Victoria’s attempts to connect, preferring to scroll through his phone rather than engage with her. Frustrated, Victoria grabs his phone and is stunned to discover incriminating messages between Jon and her ex-brother-in-law, Aaron. The texts reveal their secret romantic involvement, something Jon had kept hidden from her. This revelation leaves Victoria reeling, as she has always viewed Aaron as unreliable and worries that this relationship might lead to Jon leaving the village for good.

Jon’s reaction to being confronted is explosive—he storms out, avoiding her questions. Victoria’s curiosity is only heightened, and she decides to investigate further. When she enters Jon’s van, she finds his dog tags with a different name: Aiden Mo. Just as she uncovers this, Jon catches her in the act and furiously throws her out, likely ending their relationship for good. The discovery of the dog tags sparks a new mystery for Victoria—what else is Jon hiding, and could this be tied to a past or identity he has yet to reveal? Actress Isabelle Hodgins teases that Victoria’s next steps will depend on just how dark Jon’s secret truly is. Could this revelation completely shatter their bond?
