Emmerdale airs another big problem for John Sugden tonight as Nate Robinson’s death comes back to haunt him once again.

John tries to hide his panic when Aaron Dingle optimistically suggests that Nate could attend their upcoming wedding.

The show’s latest episode sees John and Aaron start to get some plans in place for their ceremony, after deciding to take the May booking that Chas and Liam had originally made.

John and Aaron note that Chas had already sent out a ‘save the date’ notice to a long list of friends and family – and everyone responded apart from Nate.

Unaware of Nate’s grisly fate, Aaron suggests that bringing him back to the village for the wedding could be the perfect way to resolve some family feuds.

Aaron says: “He did leave under a bit of a cloud, though, didn’t he? We all thought he made a move on Moira. So I suppose if we could get him back, it’d give them a chance to talk.”

An unimpressed Victoria replies: “About what? He’s left Tracy on her own to struggle. She’d never have nicked from Eric if she wasn’t so skint.”

Unsurprisingly, John is against the idea of an invitation for Nate, not wanting to raise any further suspicion over his disappearance.

Can John stop Aaron from digging any further over this? Fans can see how the drama plays out when the episode airs at 7.30pm tonight, or it’s also streaming now on ITVX.

Last week, Emmerdale revealed that John accidentally killed Nate last year by injecting him with drugs after he’d been beaten up by his dad Cain.

Nate suffered a terrible reaction to the injection and passed away, so John covered his tracks by disposing of his body.

This finally explained why Nate’s body had been spotted in the frozen lake in Emmerdale‘s limo crash episodes in February.

Oliver Farnworth, who plays John, recently said: “Obviously, what happened with Nate to all intents and purposes was an accident, but there’s no way that John dealt with it, or is continuing to deal with it, in the right way.

“Not just from a legal point of view, but from the point of view of the families that will be affected. There will certainly be a lot of fallout from that.”
