Fans Uncover Explosive Clues About John Sugden’s Past
Fans are certain that the new guy, John Sugden, is connected to someone from the 80s, especially now that his true identity is out. Since his arrival, John has been hiding a secret memento from his new sister, Victoria. And guess what? Victoria popped by the farm to chat with John.
However, the newcomer clarified that he wasn’t interested in building a life there. Victoria responded that she wasn’t asking him to do so. She mentioned that if he had to stay around, getting to know each other better wouldn’t hurt. She attempted to persuade him to spend some time with her before she handed over a small tin she had discovered in Harry’s room.
She mentioned that she had assumed it belonged to him and hadn’t opened it. As John hurriedly opened the tin, she inquired if it was a dog tag from the army. John confirmed that it was but added that he did not want to discuss that period of his life. To surprise, the dog tags weren’t John’s; they actually had the name ‘Aidan Moore’ on them.
Now, viewers are buzzing with multiple questions and took to X (formerly Twitter). They are guessing that Aidan might be John’s ex-partner from the Army. Maybe John has something to do with his death. One viewer wrote, “One viewer said: “Ex or dead bf? Interesting…”
Another viewer questioned whether John had killed Aidan and taken his dog tag. A third person shared their opinion on four possible identities for Aidan Moore: he could be John’s ex, a kind stepdad who made John uninterested in the Sugden family, an abusive stepdad who left John in a difficult situation, or even his real name.
Meanwhile, a Reddit user shared some intriguing details from the show’s wiki, noting that the surname Moore has appeared in the village before. They mentioned a character named Karen Moore, who was in the village from 1984 to 1986. She was an auctioneer’s assistant at Hotten Market and had an affair with Jack Sugden.
Later, she became romantically involved with Jack’s brother, Joe. The user explained that Jack’s wife, Pat, forgave him but always viewed Karen as a threat. Karen eventually left for good in August 1986. They suggested that the ongoing storylines might be drawing from these past details for John’s backstory.
