Fans think they have worked out a connection between Henry Moore and one
of the villagers in a new Emmerdale theory – John Sugden.
Last night’s visit to Emmerdale (January 2) saw a standalone episode which
focused on Jacob’s first day at his A&E placement. And things did not go well. But one person who was there to give him some advice was patient Henry Moore. The elderly man was a regular in the hospital, and while he waited to be seen, he made friends with some of the villagers.
Jacob met Henry Moore during his placement
It wasn’t only Jacob that Henry bonded with in the hospital, as he also connected with Cain. Perhaps due to the similarities between himself and Zak.
Henry told Jacob that his daughter Anita had dropped him off, but that he didn’t want to bother her. And then continued to talk about her.
In a heartbreaking twist, Henry died while Jacob went to get him a drink. And as it turned out, none of the stories he had been telling the trainee doctor about his daughter were true.
But one thing many fans did pick up on was his full name; Henry Moore.
Why is this interesting? Well because John Sugden was connected to an Aidan Moore, someone he has spent a whole lot of time mourning.
Emmerdale theory suggests Henry has a connection to John
He recently told Aaron that he loved Aidan and blamed himself for his death. But after the confession fans couldn’t help but feel there was more to it. And some even suggested he could be Aidan himself.
The name could be a coincidence, but small details usually do have a meaning in soaps. Could Henry have been related to Aidan? And if John isn’t really who he says he is, could he hear about Henry’s passing?
Not only do they share the same surname, but Henry’s daughter was called Anita, another name beginning with ‘A’, just like Aidan.
So while Emmerdale were trying to raise more awareness of the everyday struggles that A&E workers face, they could have also been giving us clues that there is more to come in John’s story, just like we all thought.
Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their theories.
One wrote: “Could Henry Moore be related to the Aidan Moore that John keeps mourning over??”
Another added: “Wonder if ‘Henry Moore’ is related to this Aidan Moore than John was attached too…”
It will be interesting to see if there is a connection between the characters or if it was merely a random coincidence. But as we want to learn more about John this year, we can hope there is something to it.
