Tensions escalated when John’s van went missing, leading him to suspect pranksters McKenzie Boyd and Aaron Dingle. After confronting them and threatening to involve the police, John confirmed he was staying in the village for a while longer. Cain Dingle later offered John a job on the farm, and Mac was tasked with fixing the van.

In a surprising twist, while John and Victoria were talking in the barn, she handed him a tin containing personal items. Among them was an army dog tag with the name Aidan Moore, which John hurriedly concealed from Victoria. This discovery sparked a flurry of speculation among fans.

Social media is abuzz with theories about Aidan Moore’s true identity. Some viewers believe Aidan might be John’s former partner, who was also in the army. There’s even a theory that John may have been involved in Aidan’s death and kept the tag as a grim memento. One fan suggested, “Could Aidan Moore be John’s ex-lover, or has he killed him and kept the dog tag?”

Others speculate that Aidan Moore might be a significant figure from John’s past, perhaps a stepdad who played a troubling role in his life. A Reddit user pointed out a connection from the past, noting that the surname Moore was previously seen in Emmerdale with a character named Karen Moore. Karen, who appeared from 1984 to 1986, was an auctioneer’s assistant involved in a love triangle with Jack Sugden and his brother Joe. Karen left the village in 1986, but her involvement with the Sugden family hints at deeper connections in the show’s history.

As the drama unfolds, the truth about Aidan Moore promises to be a crucial part of John’s backstory. Stay tuned to Emmerdale for more updates on this shocking revelation and the fallout from this explosive storyline
