Emmerdale fans think they know who really killed John Sugden in the Corriedale crossover, after the episode teased it was Victoria Sugden.

As Emmerdale joined forces with Coronation Street for a special episode, villain John, played by actor Oliver Farnworth, met a grim demise. With suspects aplenty, the shocking cliffhanger alluded that his sister Victoria had caused his death.

That said it wasn’t onscreen, and there were other residents chasing him throughout the episode. John was on the run after his crimes were exposed earlier this year.

His husband Aaron Dingle’s failed attempt to get him to the police led to John fleeing with a gun. Corrie detective Kit Green set chase, only to be knocked out.

This led to a showdown with Robert Sugden and Cain Dingle, before John fled again. After some more chasing, Robert and Cain ended up at the hospital, only for us to see John dead in the woods with Victoria looming over him, shaken.

So has Victoria really killed her brother? Or has she simply found his body? What was she even doing in the woods? Answers will be revealed, but some fans are questioning of someone else is behind the murder.

They predicted we’ve been made to think Victoria has turned killer, when on fact she may have found him dead. Fans instead think Kit Green or Chas Dingle may have been the real killer.

One fan said: “Kit,” as another asked: “Who reckons Chas killed John?” A third questioned: “Did Victoria kill john or find him?” A fourth fan said: “Victoria was standing over John doesn’t mean she killed him.” Another added: “True was too dark to tell if she had the gun, still not sure how she popped up!”

It comes as cast members teased far-reaching consequences for the soaps going forward after Corriedale. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Shona Platt actress Julia Goulding teased how the big event will impact Shona and her husband David Platt.

Julia told us: “Imagine David and Shona and their life is a ball of wool. Imagine what would happen if a cat got hold of it, it would unravel.” Sally Carman-Duttine added: “There’s a possibility lives will be forever changed. There was a lot of frantic energy. We were all on a night shoot.”

“It will change soap land forever. Soap land will never be the same again because of it. It’s like a meteor coming to Earth. You can take cover but it’s landing!”
