EMMERDALE serial killer John Sugden has struck again – and framed another for his crimes in a shocking twist.
The twisted medic – who is played by actor Oliver Farnworth in the ITV soap – has killed Nate Robinson and then killed and framed troubled patient Owen for his murder.

He also put his ex back into a coma and currently has Mackenzie Boyd chained up in a bomb shelter waiting for him to die.
Viewers have also watched as John drugged husband Aaron in an effort to keep his crimes a secret.
But in today’s episode as John tried to manipulate Aaron into believing he was just confused, he wouldn’t let up.
Aaron told him: “I just want to know what you’ve done to him. Please just tell me what you’ve done to him.”
Meanwhile at the bomb shelter, a chained-up Mack was contemplating John leaving him with a needle that will put him to sleep never to wake up again.
But in the woods, John told Aaron that Mack was alive – but that he’d done things.
He told him: “It was all for you Aaron. I didn’t want to fall in love with you but I did. And then I didn’t know how to stop. I didn’t want to stop.
“Then things happened. I couldn’t control it, I couldn’t control myself. I just needed people to know that I am a good person.
“You are my husband. I know things have gotten a bit crazy but we can work it out, I know we can.”
Aaron tried to convince John to confess to everything he’d done.
And John carried on, adding: “I’ve wanted to tell you for so long but I was just frightened I’d scare you off. I’ve done so many bad things – too many.
“Just saying it out loud… it was me. I did it. I killed Nate. It was an accident, I swear. Things just went wrong.
“I’ve only ever wanted to help people and make them realise how much they needed me. But when my mum died and I couldn’t save her…”
John then confessed to poisoning Jacob and framing Ella for drugging Chas.
“I didn’t want to hurt anyone,” John added as Aaron demanded to know where Mackenzie is.
Aaron told him he had to call the police and confess, but as he was getting through to him, Robert came to after being knocked out by John.
His arrival saw John change tack and decide against confessing all to the police.
Instead he tricked them into thinking he was phoning the police to confess, but instead put on a panicked voice and said: “Help, I need the police right now. I’m at Langston Gorge.
“My husband’s ex has just turned up, he’s threatened to kill us. Please you need to come right now, I’m really scared.”
He then grabbed Aaron and threw them both over the cliffside.
Darkest soap storylines
Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…
“I am so sorry, Aaron, so sorry,” he said.
“But if you can’t be mine, I’m sorry, you can’t be anyone’s.”
Robert watched on in horror Aaron and his brother went over and landed looking very, very dead.
But are they dead? Or have they survived the cliff fall?
