Aaron makes it to a massive gorge and turns around, face to face with John. He tries to reason with Aaron but he's not having any of it and Aaron realises that John isn't the man he thought he was. Horrified, John decides to call the police to confess.

Robert appears and there is a huge escalation as John accuses Aaron of orchestrating the reunion. As things go from bad to worse, John calls the police to frame Robert before he jumps into the gorge with his arms around Aaron.

Robert is left reeling and sees them both motionless. He calls the police but they don't believe he was innocent in all this - how will it end and who will survive?

Emmerdale fans looking forward to tuning in to the ITV soap next week will see a schedule change. The ITV soap usually airs Mondays to Fridays at 7.30pm for half an hour, with the Thursday episode airing for an hour.

However, next week, there will be no Tuesday episode due to sports coverage. Fans will instead get a half an hour on Monday, half an hour on Wednesday, an hour on Thursday and half an hour on Friday, leaving fans puzzled over the 'missing' Tuesday episode.

Big scenes are ahead, with actor Danny Miller revealing of his character: "I think it's time [for Aaron to realise about John] because a lot of people stop me in the streets and say things like, 'how are you not spotting the signs?' like I can't spot the signs.

"But I think love is blind, is what I've played for the last six months of watching John crumble under all this spotlight and pressure, and Aaron's just kind of going, 'I don't know what you mean, he's great! I love him!'

"So, it's nice that Aaron can finally become one of the viewers, or that of an opinion of the viewers. They get to share in this hatred of John, which is just so strange to say because Oliver Farnworth is the nicest man I've ever met and I don't say that lightly! I just love him. He's just been great."
