EMMERDALE fans convinced Anthony Fox has a secret son in the village as murder cover-up unravels.
Fans of the ITV soap are conspiring that newcomer John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) might actually be Ruby’s (Beth Cordingly) real brother and could even be responsible for Antony’s (Nicholas Day) demise.
Emmerdale viewers know that Anthony met a grim fate after his sinister past as a child abuser came to light.
The tension reached its peak when Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller), consumed by rage and tears, confronted Anthony after uncovering the horrific truth about his abuse of Ruby.
The terminally ill Anthony, desperate to escape justice, taunted Aaron with details of his own traumatic past, pushing Aaron to the edge.
In a fit of fury, Aaron viciously attacked Anthony, leaving him dead on the depot floor.
When Aaron returned home, visibly shaken, he confided in his partner, John Sugden, about the violent altercation, admitting, “I nearly killed him.”
John quickly took charge of the situation, proposing they return to the depot, where they discovered Anthony’s lifeless body.
Overcome with anxiety, Aaron struggled to think clearly, and it was John who stepped up, volunteering to dispose of the body and take control of the grim situation.
Together they agreed to strip the car to dispose of all the evidence.
But Tuesday’s episode saw Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) see Aaron and John lurking around at night looking shifty.
Could she discover their secret?

A third added: “Love child maybe.”
The newcomer joined the iconic Sugden family last year.
However, John has kept his past shrouded in mystery, with little revealed beyond his military background.
Could he be lying about his past and family history?
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV and is available to watch from 7am on ITVX.
