Emmerdale newcomer John Sugden, who is the apparent son of Jack Sugden, will be sticking around in the village for the foreseeable future and actor Oliver Farnworth has promised a ‘rollercoaster’ time for his character
Emmerdale’s fresh face, Oliver Farnworth, has hinted at a dramatic ‘absolute rollercoaster’ twist for his character John Sugden. The 42 year old actor made his first appearance on the popular ITV soap on Wednesday night, where his character John was unveiled as Aaron Dingle’s new romantic interest.
After planning a date, Aaron unexpectedly encountered John roadside, needing car repairs.
After Aaron fixed the vehicle, the pair shared a passionate kiss that quickly turned into a roadside tryst, but John abruptly departed, taking with him Aaron’s possessions and Eric Pollard’s car keys.
In Thursday night’s episode, Eric’s car failed, preventing him from attending an old friend’s funeral.
Victoria Sugden kindly stepped in to drive him there. However, once at the church, Victoria inadvertently offended the grieving son at his mother’s funeral, only to be shocked when she learned his name is John Sugden.
Later, Eric awkwardly revealed that John could potentially be her half-brother and the son of her late father Jack Sugden, reports the Mirror.
In an unexpected turn of events, Mackenzie Boyd received a call about a nearby breakdown back in the village, and it turned out to be John. Eric and Victoria were taken aback to find John in the village, and the newcomer soon stirred up trouble with his arrival.
Appearing on Thursday’s episode of Lorraine with Christine Lampard stepping in as host, Oliver, famed for his portrayal of John, tantalised viewers about the future events involving his character: “His opening gambit is pretty strong from last night’s episode and then as we can see from the clip today we find out a lot about him quite early on.
“But there’s a really enigmatic side to him as well. I’ve been filming for two months now and there’s a lot of stuff I can’t talk about but really that is the tip of the iceberg because it’s an absolute rollercoaster. There’s a lot to come, there’s a lot to come!”
