John claims another victim in Emmerdale ITVX streaming release as Cain collapses
The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn't aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.
John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) spent the morning looking for a new victim in Emmerdale, and he ended up choosing Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley).
Yesterday, John called a mental health aider and spoke about his insecurities surrounding his relationship with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller). With Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) causing problems, John has been feeling paranoid about Aaron leaving him for his distant brother.
The volunteer on the phone asked John what makes him feel good in his life. He opened up about being a paramedic, and said that he gets such a rush when he saves someone and everybody praises him afterwards. The person on the line, not knowing who John really is, suggested that he might feel better if he focuses more on his passion for his career.
With that, an idea formed.
John popped into the shop first thing in tonight's episode and got chatting to a vulnerable Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell). As he left to develop an idea of how to put the beloved character in danger, Cain arrived.
Cain wanted to talk about Nate's upcoming funeral with Tracy Shankley (Amy Walsh), but she made it perfectly clear the man was not welcome. The news really hurt Cain, and he tried to gain control of the situation by commenting on Eric's relationship with David.
Eric hit back at Cain and said that his son is alive, unlike Nate. He knew that Cain was lashing out at Tracy because he couldn't deal with the fact his relationship with Nate was so broken when he died. Tears formed in Cain's eyes as Eric said this, clearly hitting the nail on the head.
We later found Cain sitting by Zak's graveside with Sam (James Hooton). He had been sent some more of Zak's belongings by Debbie and within the box was some 'Moonshine', a dodgy bottle of his homemade whisky.
It tasted vile but the strength of the alcohol hit the spot for Cain. He took the drink and wandered down the road, where he was spotted by John.
By this point, John had developed a plan to put Eric in danger and was outside his house getting set up. As he watched Cain stagger towards him though, the situation changed.
John left Eric and took Cain back to Butlers. There, he encouraged Cain to drink more and more. John pushed Cain so much, he ended up consuming a bottle of scotch and the majority of the whisky.
A very drunk and disorientated Cain stood up, made his way to the lounge and then collapsed. John smiled as he stood over Cain's body – this, as far as he was concerned, was perfect.

John put Cain in the recovery position just as Moira (Natalie J Robb) returned. As he rushed off to get his medical kit, we saw John smirking again, getting that buzz he was desperately craving yesterday. More Trending
John set Cain up with a drip and advised Moira, who was beyond thankful that he was in the right place at the right time.
Heading back to the flat, John was in a brilliant mood. Just as he felt like he was back in control though, it was torn away from him due to the flat doorbell ringing.

'One of the best dramas' now streaming for free as fans say 'it's a must-watch'
All episodes of critically-acclaimed period drama Halt and Catch Fire have just landed on ITVX "One of the best drama series" is now streaming for free as fans say "it's a must-watch". US series Halt and Catch Fire, created by Christopher Cantwell and Christopher C. Rogers, offers a fictionalised insider's perspective of the personal computer revolution of the 1980s, as well as the early days of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s. The programme's title refers to the phrase used for computer machine code instructions that cause a computer to "cease meaningful operation". The synopsis reads: "It's the early 1980s, and the spirit of innovation in personal computing is about to ignite. "Hot on the trail is a renegade trio - a visionary, an engineer and a prodigy - who risk everything to realise their vision of building a computer that can change the future," reports Surrey Live. The series features Lee Pace, Scoot McNairy, Mackenzie Davis, Kerry Bishé, Toby Huss and Aleksa Palladino in leading roles. Recurring stars include Anna Chlumsky, Annette O'Toole, August Emerson, Cooper Andrews and David Wilson Barnes. Halt and Catch Fire first aired on AMC back in 2014, and ran for four seasons with a total of 40 episodes, which concluded with a two-hour series finale in 2017. All episodes of the show have just been added to ITV's free streaming service, ITVX, so UK-based fans can now relive the drama with ads. Eleven years after its release, Halt and Catch Fire currently boasts an impressive 90% critics score on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. The show has also resonated with viewers, who have praised its "compelling" storyline and "wonderful" characters, drawing comparisons to the hit period drama Mad Men. "One of the best drama series of all time. Can't remember when I last cried watching a TV series, but Halt and Catch Fire left me sobbing. Wonderful characters. Compelling mixture of fact and fiction. What more could you want?" one person wrote. Another added: "The very best show no one really watched," while a third said: "I love this show. I can't believe how underrated and under the radar it is. What a special show, it should have gotten way more credit." A fourth fan echoed the sentiment, saying: "This show catches the nostalgic momentum that so many of us old school geeks long for," with another similarly sharing: "This is a highly addictive story and the character development is excellent. It's a must watch!!!"

EastEnders drops biggest clue yet Zoe Slater is a secret MOTHER – and her child is already in Walford
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EASTENDERS has dropped a huge hint Zoe Slater's secret child is already in Walford with a very telling scene. The iconic character - who is played by actress Michelle Ryan in the BBC soap - returned last night looking worse for wear. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 There was a huge hint that Zoe was hiding a major secret in EastEnders Credit: BBC 2 Could Joel be her son who she abandoned? Credit: BBC Clutching a bag of booze and having barely recovered from her hangover, Zoe looked to be in an out of control and desperate situation. But there was a clue that suggests Zoe is in fact the mother of predatory incel Joel who recently arrived in the Square. Viewers know he has been grooming Tommy Moon to be as misogynistic and vile as he is - and last night he opened up about his own mummy issues. And coinciding with Zoe's return as a mess seems to suggest the two are linked. 'You don't talk about your family… is your mum in Australia?' asked Tommy of Joel. Joel told him: 'No - my mum's a slapper.' 'It's just… my mum ran off when I was little,' he added. 'And my dad moved us to Australia for a fresh start but he was always working. 'I just hated it. And the kids took the mick out of me for my accent. 'I asked the teacher if I could go to the loo on the first day. Didn't know it was called the dunny, did I? So I was called Lulu from then on. 'Didn't say a word for six months, in case I said it wrong after that. Then when I finally fought back, I got expelled. Blackmail horror for EastEnders teenager as sexual predator Joel targets another victim 'Then when I finally met some real mates, dad met Vicky and dragged me back here. I didn't have a choice in any of it and now I'm stuck in this dump.' Joel was also pouring poison into Tommy's ear about his mum - who if the hint is correct - is his own grandmother. Zoe has since fled the country to go to Barcelona but will return later this summer. Will her secret be revealed then?
