Emmerdale cruel John Sugden twist 'foreshadows' final showdown with Robert
There was a worrying scene on Emmerdale on Friday night that saw John Sugden seemingly plot revenge on his brother Robert Sugden. Despite them appearing to clear the air, or at least come to an agreement, John's true agenda was revealed to fans.
This week John was left in hospital after Robert attacked him during a tense showdown. Robert had no idea though that John was recording the moment he struck him at the back of the head with a spanner.
Viewers learned this on Friday, when the end of the episode showed John watching it back on his laptop. It comes amid fans believing Robert's own real plan was given away in the episode, and he might not be playing nicely has he's claimed.
We'd already seen John feign fear over Robert visiting him, before Robert practically begged his villainous brother for forgiveness. John threatened him, telling him that if he went back on his word in regards to dropping his vendetta as well as leaving Aaron Dingle alone, he "knew" what he would do.
Robert obviously didn't know that John had set up the attack after goading him, leading him to his camper van where a camera was recording. In the footage we only see the moment John walks towards home and is struck by Robert with the tool.
John falls to the ground as Robert watches on. It likely also caught the moment Robert wiped the tool and hid it, but even the attack alone is enough for John to get Robert locked up given the crime he spent six years in prison for.
Fans had actually noticed the mirroring of events, as in 2019 Robert attacked Lee Posner in similar circumstances. Robert had confronted Lee after he raped his sister Victoria Sugden, and Lee goaded him until Robert snapped.
John orchestrated Robert's latest crime, and now he has him exactly where he needs him. But John is ready and waiting for his brother to turn on him again, keeping hold of the video evidence to use if necessary to get rid of Robert.
But could it all be foreshadowing a major showdown? Maybe the current battle between the brothers is just the beginning and a taster of John's comeuppance at the hands of Robert.
Robert more than any other characters is well and truly onto John and his dark crimes. If he manages to find the proof and expose him, John will hopefully face his downfall and be punished for his actions, including the murder of Nate Robinson.
So will it come down to another John vs Robert battle at the end, and was the attack and John's actions, with John threatening revenge if Robert goes against him, all a massive hint of what's ahead? If so, it could be a major tease that the storyline will conclude with Robert taking John down as fans are hoping for, and John's final attempts to come out on top.

EastEnders' Ross takes action to cover up Joel's crimes as he makes discovery
EastEnders' Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) takes shocking action to cover up his twisted son Joel Marshall's (Max Murray) latest crimes next week after he makes a shocking discovery. Since arriving in Walford with Ross and his dad's partner Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) earlier this year, Joel has been at the centre of a dark incel plot. After it was revealed he had previously upskirted one of his classmates back in Australia, Joel recorded himself and Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) having sex without her consent. Since then, the teenager has sexually harassed a passenger on the tube and has also been seen watching videos from a misogynistic influencer online. In scenes to air on the BBC soap next week, Joel's behaviour continues to worsen after Ross has to tell him the news that his mum is getting remarried. Reeling from the update, Joel slips out and heads to The Vic to hang out with his friend Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall), but it's not long before Joel leads him astray and the pair steal drinks from the barrel store. Ross and Vicki, and Kat and Alfie Moon (Jessie Wallace and Shane Richie) are furious when they find the pair, but Joel lashes out with a derogatory outburst at Kat, leaving the parents aghast. Ross later makes another attempt to get through to Joel about his behaviour, and they bond when Joel shares a video from the influencer that he's been following, which Ross wrongly perceives as innocent. Shortly afterwards, however, Ross makes a worrying discovery on Joel's laptop and destroys it. What has Ross uncovered? Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

Vicki is later stunned to discover the real reason why Ross broke the laptop and orders her partner to be firm with Joel – despite Vicki herself having covered for him by bribing the woman he assaulted on the tube into not going to the police. More Trending While Ross is heartened after confiding in Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) about his parenting woes, his hopefulness is short-lived when Joel shows his true colours once again, this time in front of punters at The Vic. Joel goes there to apologise to Kat about his previous outburst, but when he overhears Vicki chatting with Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) about parenting and men, he is riled – and his anger sparks some worrying consequences… View More » EastEnders airs these scenes from Monday 4 August at 7.30pm on BBC One or stream first from 6am on iPlayer.

Emmerdale confirms new romance for 2 favourite characters
It seems a connection between Belle Dingle and Kammy Hadiq is 'on the cards' on the ITV soap, following suspicions from viewers over the last few weeks. Recently, many spotted Shebz Minah (who plays Kammy) posted a picture of him sitting on a sofa alongside Eden Taylor-Draper (Belle). The happy snap certainly got fans talking as one commented: ''Kammy and Belle?? Could this be a future relationship.' Another said: 'Omg, are they getting together on Emmerdale? If so, I saw it coming a mile away.' The rumoured on-screen romance was "announced" by the two cast members themselves, in a video posted on Emmerdale's social accounts. In the clip filmed for Yorkshire Day, Shebz and Eden were 'spilling the tea' on spoilers, stories and things 'they may not know about each other or the show'. As Eden pulled a rolled-up piece of paper from a teapot with a hidden message, Shebz responded: 'It's a big one this.' Eden continued: 'Spoiler – it's to do with me and you. 'A romance is on the cards for Kammy and Belle. 'How do you feel about that Shebz?' A post shared by Emmerdale (@emmerdale) Shebz revealed: 'It's been amazing, like the scenes we've had have been so fun. 'It's been a mixed bag because I think for Kammy and Belle, they go on like this journey and that. "And I think it's just nice to have like a bit of normality and mixed with a bit of banter. You get all these different feelings that happen during the scene. It's been really enjoyable. I'm not going to lie, I've really enjoyed it." Eden added: 'Stay tuned to see what's next.' Belle's last relationship saw the character physically and mentally abused by her husband Tom King, played by James Chase, before he was sent to prison. Which is why Emmerdale fans think Kammy is 'just what Belle needs' after 'Tom the sociopath'. Reacting to the video on the ITV's soap Reddit page, this person wrote: 'love kammy,he makes me laugh. I think they would be a fab couple.' Someone else commented: 'I am all for it ,just what Belle needs after Tom the sociopath!' One account said: 'Oh I think I love this! Belle needs someone fun and a bit carefree. Kant [Kammy] has an absolute heart of gold and he'll bring some much needed cheer to belles life."

However, some have doubts about Kammy and Belle's pending romance, as a profile put: 'I would love for Belle to have a love interest but Kammy vibes with Vinny more in Emmerdale.' Another added: 'I've got a feeling we're heading toward a love triangle between Belle, Kammy, and Vinny.'
