Emmerdale spoilers have teased life-or-death scenes for Robert Sugden and tension with John Sugden next week on the ITV soap, and the Mirror's soap insider has promised drama
There's "tense" Emmerdale scenes ahead, with Robert Sugden seemingly facing a life-or-death situation next week.
Ryan Hawley's character faces danger in worrying scenes, as killer John Sugden strikes again according to some rather cryptic spoilers. While it's being kept a mystery on what actually happens, what we do know is that John wants to get rid of his brother after seeing him as a threat.
‌
After finding out about his husband Aaron Dingle kissing his ex Robert, and with Robert desperate to expose him and win Aaron back, John wastes no time in seeking an opportunity to get rid of his sibling for good. Events next week reach a scary point where a lifeless Robert could well become John's next victim.
‌
The Mirror's soap insider has teased "tense" and "edge-of-your-seat" moments set to air based on the spoiler release, as fans will no doubt be screaming at their TVs for John to leave Robert alone. Spoilers revealed that after Robert is drugged by his date, John drives off with Robert in the back of his van.
It's not been made clear if John has orchestrated the drugging or not, but he's soon very much involved. Robert soon finds himself at the mercy of killer John it would seem, or at least that's what the soap has teased, as he's left lifeless - and images see John looming with a syringe in his hand.
But will Robert really go as far as to kill his sibling? Our soap insider shared: "There's tense scenes planned for sure, and fans will no doubt be on the edge of their seats as John makes his feelings clear. There's a perilous moment for Robert and he has no idea of the danger he's in."
It all kicks off when Robert spirals, having been rejected by Aaron and his sister Victoria Sugden. As he struggles, he hits the bottle and turns to hook-ups in a bid to make Aaron jealous.
It seems he lashes out at his sister too in upcoming scenes as she's sporting a black eye and he feels guilty. He moves out thinking it's for the best leaving his sibling concerned, while Robert's hopes for a job also look set to fall flat despite Caleb Miligan offering him an opportunity.
‌
John finds out and pressures him into ending the trial, and when Caleb does so it's Jai Sharma who lets slip to Robert that John was to blame. Robert confronts his half-brother, who is determined to do whatever it takes to get him out of the village.
After he tries to get Victoria to report Robert for hitting her, Robert fears the worst and is devastated. This doesn't go as John plans though, and soon we see a concerning twist unfold with Robert unconscious in the back of his van.
‌
"It looks as though John is preparing to take deadly action, hovering over a lifeless Robert with a syringe in-hand," our soap insider went on. "Fans know only too well what happened the last two times John was seen wielding an syringe, with poor Nate Robinson and Aidan Moore learning the hard way."
While spoilers have hinted Robert wakes up, it's yet to be revealed if there's more scenes with John or if he remains in danger. Our insider teased: "John will take whatever measure necessary to see Robert out of his life, and Aaron's.
"He's rattled, he's scared and he knows the only thing that could lead to him losing Aaron for good is Robert. As far as John's concerned, his brother is in the way. Family or not, he wants him gone." But is Robert in danger, and would John really go so far?
