Emmerdale viewers were left in shock after the latest episode aired on Wednesday, February 26, as major revelations about Anthony Fox’s murder unfolded.
In a surprising turn of events, Aaron Dingle admitted that he has no idea where Anthony’s body is, raising even more questions about the truth behind the crime.
A Confession That Changes Everything
Just weeks ago, Aaron had a violent confrontation with Anthony, believing himself responsible for his death.
However, he was unaware that Ruby Fox-Miligan had entered after he left and ultimately killed her abusive father.
Following the incident, Aaron returned to the scene with John Sugden, only to find Anthony lifeless.
Assuming he was the killer, Aaron agreed to cover up the crime with John’s help. As a former soldier, John assured Aaron that he could handle disposing of the body, but when questioned later, he refused to reveal where he had hidden it.
It wasn’t until later that Aaron discovered Ruby was the true murderer. Despite this revelation, the secret was kept between them, Chas Dingle, Cain Dingle, and Caleb Miligan, as they all worked to conceal what had happened.
Doubts About Anthony’s Burial
In the most recent episode, tensions escalated as Chas and Aaron discussed whether they should confess everything to the police. During this conversation, Aaron admitted something shocking—he had no idea where Anthony’s body actually was.
Chas was taken aback that John had kept such crucial information from them, and Aaron soon started sharing her concerns. Sensing that suspicions were growing, John quickly gathered the group for a secret meeting.
During this gathering, John warned that if anyone went against their pact, it would spell disaster for all of them. To reassure them of his loyalty, he led them into the woods and pointed out a location where he claimed Anthony’s body was buried. However, not everyone was convinced that John was telling the truth.
Meanwhile, Caleb visited his brother and promised to keep a low profile, acknowledging that John’s advice about sticking together was the best way forward.
Is Anthony Really Dead?
Despite John’s claim about Anthony’s burial site, many Emmerdale fans remain skeptical. Some believe that Anthony may not be buried in the woods at all, while others have an even bigger theory—what if Anthony never died in the first place?
Adding to the speculation, Ruby was later seen standing at her father’s supposed grave, visibly shaken by the weight of her actions. But was she truly mourning, or could there be more to the story?
Is John Secretly Related to Ruby?
A new fan theory has emerged, suggesting that John may have a hidden connection to Anthony Fox. Some viewers believe that John could actually be Anthony’s secret son, making him Ruby’s long-lost brother.
If this theory is correct, it could explain why John has been so secretive about the body’s location. Rather than burying Anthony, could he have actually saved him?
Fans took to social media to discuss this possibility:
One viewer questioned, “Is John actually Ruby’s brother? Maybe he’s keeping their dad alive somewhere.”
Another agreed, replying, “That would be a brilliant twist!”
A third added, “But is John really who he says he is? What if he’s been lying this whole time?”
Some even speculated about Anthony’s past, with one fan suggesting, “Maybe Anthony had an affair, and John is the result of that relationship.”
What’s Next for the Cover-Up?
With these lingering doubts, the truth about Anthony’s fate remains uncertain. If John is indeed related to Anthony, it could change everything for the group involved in the cover-up. Could Ruby discover that her supposed ally has been hiding a deeper family connection all along?
And if Anthony is alive, where is he now?
As Emmerdale continues to unravel this gripping mystery, one thing is certain—this story is far from over, and more shocking twists are undoubtedly on the horizon.
