viewers reckon they've clocked a major hint about who Aidan Moore is after spotting John Sugden with a mysterious dog tag. Newcomer John caused a stir when he first arrived in the village, linking up with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) after meeting on a dating app and enjoying a cheeky romp in his camper van. In a bizarre twist, John later realised his long-lost sister was none other than Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins), bumping into her at his mum's funeral.

Farm boss Cain Dingle later took John under his wing and got Mack to sort out John's prank-damaged camper. Then in a heartfelt moment in the barn, Victoria handed John a tin of personal items. As John rummaged through the tin, his face changed as he found an Army dog tag etched with the name Aidan Moore, quickly hiding it from Victoria's eyes.

Emmerdale fans later raced to X, previously Twitter, in full-on detective mode, musing over this Aidan Moore character could he be John's former flame? Or even worse, has John bumped him off?, reports the Express.One fan penned: "Ex or dead bf? Interesting..

." while another speculated, firing up for future tweets: "Back with #Emmerdale tweets tomorrow. Who's Aidan Moore? John ex lover or has he killed Aidan and taken the dog tag? ".

Yet another theorised: "One of four things Aiden Moore could be in my opinion. His Ex. His wonderfully kind stepdad and it's why he has no interest in the Sugden's cause he had a guy that stepped up.

His abusive stepdad and he is mad daddy dreariest left.
