Next week in Emmerdale, Jon Sugden’s secret is at risk of being exposed when Victoria Sugden makes a startling discovery. Jon, who has caused quite a stir since arriving in the village, has been involved in plenty of drama, including making an enemy of Mackenzie Boyd and engaging in a surprising fling with Aaron Dingle. While Victoria has tried her best to get to know Jon, he has remained distant and evasive.
Frustrated by Jon’s behavior, Victoria decides to spend some time with him and share old family photos. However, Jon is glued to his phone, making Victoria feel ignored. Irritated, she snatches his phone and is shocked to find out that Jon has been messaging Aaron. Surprised by his involvement with her brother Robert’s ex-husband, Victoria confronts Jon about his secret relationship. Uncomfortable with the interrogation, Jon storms out, leaving Victoria suspicious that he’s hiding more than just his connection to Aaron.
Later, feeling guilty for upsetting Jon, Victoria goes to his van to apologize. When Jon doesn’t answer, she lets herself inside and stumbles upon a box of army dog tags bearing the name Aiden Moore. Shocked by this discovery, Victoria recalls seeing the same box in her son Harry’s room. Just as she begins to piece things together, Jon walks in, furious that she has invaded his privacy. He throws her out, but Victoria is now determined to dig deeper into Jon’s mysterious past. Who is Aiden Moore, and what is Jon hiding? The truth may change everything.
