Emmerdale fans 'figure out' where Anthony's buried - and it's bad news for John

There could be a double body twist on the cards on , with fans sure they know where Anthony Fox has really been buried.

John Sugden was forced to admit to the Miligans and his partner Aaron Dingle this week that he had lied about the true location of Anthony's corpse. John got rid of the body thinking Aaron was the killer, only for Ruby to confess she killed her abusive father.

A group of villagers are covering up the crime, and John recently had them believe Anthony had been buried in a spot in the woods. He claimed the body was buried very deep and no one would find it, while a tree stump marked the precise location.

A discovery by Steph Miligan exposed his lie though, as she suspected Anthony was in fact alive. She and Aaron realised John could not have put Anthony in his claimed location, as the ground was undisturbed.

Nothing had ever been dug or buried there, with no sign of disturbance that would be recent enough for Anthony to be buried there. John tried to deny this but Aaron claimed he knew when his partner was lying, and could tell he wasn't being truthful in this instance.

With that, John confessed the body wasn't there as suspected but he did reveal Anthony was definitely dead. Steph did not believe him, but John urged the group to not ask questions about where Anthony really was, with Caleb agreeing with him.

Aaron continued to press for answers but he soon realised he should leave it, as John told him he could not allow anyone to know where Anthony had been buried. He suggested it was for all their sakes, fearing Anthony would be found if someone let slip.

But fans think they know exactly what John did with Anthony, and it could return to haunt him. Viewers now know that John killed Nate Robinson in secret in September, and Nate's death is yet to be discovered.

Nate's body was wrapped in body bag, chained and then dumped over a bridge into a stream. The body has made its way to the lake near the village, with Amy Wyatt spotting the corpse moments before her death in February.

No one else knows it is there, and now fans think his body will be found thanks to the Anthony twist. They believe that John put Anthony's corpse in the same water, and it may now be in the lake.

Could this lead to the discovery of Nate's own murder, and leave John in big trouble? One fan said: "If grandad is dead, he’s probably in the lake with Nate," as another agreed: "I think he might be in the lake and this is what leads to Nate's body being found somehow."

A fan replied to this theory saying: "I think you're right. It also gives a way for Ruby and Aaron to get away with what they did. Two bodies (and you never know there could be more by the time they're found) in the same place, wrapped up the same way. Everyone will just think John killed both and even if he denies it or tries to drag Ruby or Aaron down with him, there's no evidence against them."
