Emmerdale hints at shock triple exit as killer John 'ties up loose end'
Just a few weeks ago, he conjured up a plan that saw him frame another character for Nate Robinson's (Jurell Carter) murder.
John hoped that framing Owen Michaels (Simon Haines) would give Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and Tracy Shankley (Amy Walsh) some closure. He arrived at Owen's and found him unconscious after taking drugs, and then wrote a fake note on Owen's laptop while the man's life slipped away from him.
The note confirmed that Owen killed Nate so when the police found this and his body, it was pretty much confirmation that Nate's case would be closed soon.
Cain and Tracy reeled in the aftermath, but they have spent time trying to come to terms with the development. Yesterday though, the emotions were brought up once more when DC Cole arrived with some news.
The detective told Cain that the police aren't sure if Owen killed Nate and in tonight's episode, we learnt they had this theory because Owen's suicide note saved on his computer after his time of death.
As John listened to DC Cole tell Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) this, he couldn't help but let his stress levels increase.
John arrived back at the flat and ranted to Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller). He said that all he's done since arriving in the village is 'give, give, give' and no-one has bothered to return the favour for him.
Aaron felt bad as he listened to John, but the medic was unaware his husband was also feeling guilty after sleeping with Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) yesterday.
With Aaron still believing that he's meant to be with John, he suggested that the two of them leave – for longer than a little holiday.
Aaron and John confirmed in the pub a while later that they would be going away for a short break, but intend on turning it into a more permanent thing if they like the area. Aaron told Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) and the news was hard to hear for her, as she loves having her son around.
Behind John and Aaron were Tracy, Liam and Cain sitting in a booth. Liam was supporting Cain and Tracy, who were discussing Nate's killer potentially still lurking somewhere.
John had overheard this and knew he needed to take action. He made a call and told someone on the other end that he needs some help to tie up a loose end.
With John and Aaron keen on departing, another exit is potentially on the cards for Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb).
Rumours are currently circulating that John will kill Mackenzie after he discovers the truth about him.
A source told us: 'The John story has so many twists and turns to come and this will come as a genuine surprise to fans.

X Factor and CBB legend joins dating app to look for love after being single for EIGHT years
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) X FACTOR icon John Grimes has been spotted on Hinge on the look for love. The 33-year-old singer, one half of twin double act Jedward, is going solo on the apps after being single for eight years. 5 John is best known as one half of Jedward Credit: Getty 5 John is shown on the profile looking for a 'long term relationship, open to short' Credit: Getty On the profile, John says he'll get along with someone who is "kind, playful and outdoorsy" and labels himself a music producer. The famously playful star – who was 17 when he and Edward first found fame on X Factor – jokes that he got an education at Harry Potter's Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He notes that he is looking for a "long term relationship, open to short". Opting to keep his brother out of any of the photos, his profile is filled with selfies, including one on a sofa with his dog while he sits in a black and red check shirt. Another just shows a picture of a red drink filled with fruit including blackberries and strawberries. Following the prompted "What if I told you that..." he responds: "You've scrolled this far so you probably fancy me a lil bit" with a winking face. The appearance of the profile comes as John's first major public move into dating in years. Both John and Edward keep their partners out of the spotlight, and are very rarely seen without each other. However, in 2017 the duo tried their luck at reality show dating, appearing on short-lived MTV series, Single AF. The show only ran for one series, but proved successful in an unexpected way with Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson meeting Union J star Casey Johnson while filming. Jedward wow RTE viewers with 'lively' performance The pair are now married with three children together. Single AF proved unique in its concept by having viewers interact with the celebs in real time, and influencing who and where they dated potential matches. Splitting up to go on separate dates, both John and Edward entered the show with gusto, boasting about their sex skills and snogging their matches. While Edward found romance with Swedish girl Sabina, John was unfortunately not so lucky. He said about his time on the show: 'I have so much love for many people but not the romantic kind of love that I'm looking for…so no.' 5 Jedward are rarely seen without each other Credit: Getty 5 The star is searching for some romance in his life Credit: Getty

Dianne Buswell addresses Strictly Come Dancing future amid uncertainty
Dianne Buswell has addressed her future on Strictly Come Dancing amid uncertainly over her partner in the next series Dianne Buswell has addressed her future on Strictly Come Dancing. The TV star, 36, has appeared as a professional dancer on the BBC Saturday night favourite since 2017 but made it clear that she has no idea what the future holds for her. On Thursday night, she took to Instagram to hold a Q&A session with her followers whilst she was on a train and one asked: "Do you think this will be your last year on Strictly?" Over of a photo of herself dressed up backstage in an elaborate costume, she replied: "I sure hope not!!!!" Another fan was quick to ask Dianne, who will be appearing on the upcoming edition of Strictly Come Dancing when it returns to screens on September 20, who her celebrity partner will be this year. Famous faces to have signed up to hit the dance floor this time around include the likes of Neighbours legend Stefan Dennis, footballer Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and ruby player Chris Robshaw. But, alas, Dianne, who has danced with the likes of Tyler West, EastEnders star Bobby Brazier and last year's winner Chris McCausland, is yet to be told which celebrity she will be helping out with their footwork, as she confirmed: "No idea, who do you reckon?" It comes after the show was thrown into chaos when former Game of Thrones star Kristian Nairn gave up his place in the ballroom before the programme had even gone to air. Soap actor Lewis Cope was announced as his replacement. Speaking about joining the show, Lewis - who has starred on Emmerdale as Nicky Miligan - said: "I'm so excited to be swapping the Dales for the dance floor and joining this year's Strictly Come Dancing. I've always been a fan of the show and cannot wait to get started!" Lewis only found out on Monday that he was joining the show. Lewis will be known to soap fans as Emmerdale's Nicky - the son of Caleb and Ruby Miligan. He is no longer in the village but his sister and parents still are. Lewis has also had roles in Vera and he worked with David Beckham on an advertising campaign. Lewis will be known to soap fans as Emmerdale's Nicky - the son of Caleb and Ruby Miligan. He is no longer in the village but his sister and parents still are. Lewis has also had roles in Vera and he worked with David Beckham on an advertising campaign. Just hours earlier, actor and DJ Kristian revealed that he has stepped back for "medical reasons". He said in a statement: 'With a heavy heart, I have to step back from this series of Strictly Come Dancing due to unexpected medical reasons. I was truly looking forward to the journey, and I'm deeply sorry to disappoint anyone who was looking forward to seeing me on the dance floor. Thank you all for your support, and I will be back on my feet very soon, in every sense. Love to all, Kristian." Kristian later released a longer statement, reassuring fans that he's "under treatment already". He said: "I've been given the amazing opportunity of Strictly but sadly I'm having to withdraw. Like so many people at the minute, I have dealing with a high level of stress. And a little bit of grief, if I'm going to be really real. I've always been my mother's son and I have always powered through things like this in the past and any other time of my life actually. "Honestly I think I've got a pretty healthy attitude towards stuff like this. I thought I did at least. For the first time it's manifested physically. And it's caused a spike in my vitals. It's entered an area of concern. I'm a big guy. Always have been, ever since I stepped foot on this earth. "So I take my health very seriously and I do see my doctor all the time. I was checked for the show two weeks before. And everything was fine. So he was happy for me to take part. Please note, I'm ok. I'm under treatment already. And my doctor isn't concerned." He added: "And after 2-3 weeks I'll be pretty much back to normal. But sadly I don't have time for the show now, for all the training and everything like that. And I also don't want to leave them, you and the other contestants hanging. It's not really fair. I'm gutted to say the least.

Dylan is devastated by April betrayal in Emmerdale as evil Ray closes in
Emmerdale's Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle) is in the clutches of drug lord Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) and Ray is planning on sinking his claws deeper. It's been a tough start for Dylan and April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) as Dylan struggled to be truthful with his friend over embarrassment of what he had been through. When April found out about Dylan working for Ray, it nearly ended their relationship, and then Dylan dropped a bigger bombshell – Ray wanted April to do the drop.

April is left with the guilt that she shouldn't have told her dad, who is now preparing to tell Paddy. April spots Dylan hanging outside a stranger's car and confronts him but breathes a sigh of relief to learn it was just a drugs drop, no sex work. But the damage is done – now Marlon and Paddy want words. Dylan is gutted and humiliated that she told them his deepest, darkest secrets. April is beside herself and in a desperate bid to save their relationship, tells Dylan she loves him. He's taken a back and overwhelmed, unable to process how someone who loves him could betray him. Paddy takes an opportunity to take Dylan to one side and tell him his past doesn't matter, he doesn't judge him one bit. It spurs Dylan on to go straight and tell Ray he is out, at least for a while. But something tells us Ray isn't going to be prepared to just let him go. What will Ray do to keep him in his clutches? But as frightening as Ray might be, he's not Dylan's only problem. As Dylan moves through the village, Kyle recognises him. More Trending He legs it back to his mum and tells her who he's just seen – the man he stabbed in the barn.
