Emmerdale fans are in a frenzy after recent episodes left them questioning the fate of Anthony Fox, with many convinced that his death may not be as final as originally thought. After John Sugden (played by Oliver Farnworth) disposed of Anthony’s body, it seemed that the storyline had come to a close. However, viewers are now speculating that Anthony may still be alive and could have a major role to play in the drama to come.

Anthony, who had a tumultuous history with his daughter Ruby Fox-Miligan (Beth Cordingly), was revealed to be the villain responsible for several dark secrets, including the sexual assault of Ruby in her teenage years. After being violently attacked by Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) and then later suffocated by Ruby, Anthony’s supposed death was covered up by John, who hid the body.

But now, fans are starting to doubt whether the villain is truly dead. A Reddit user wrote, “Do we think Anthony’s body is really gone? Or has John kept him hidden somewhere?” Another fan added, “I can’t shake the feeling that he’s not really dead and that John’s just pretending.”

The theory comes after John used Anthony’s death as leverage against Caleb Miligan (Will Ash), forcing him to take extreme actions. Viewers suspect that John could use the supposed death of Anthony as a bargaining chip, continuing to manipulate situations to his advantage.

Although John claims to have buried Anthony in the woods, some fans are questioning his motives and wondering if there’s more to the story than he’s letting on. Many believe that John could be holding onto this secret for future use, potentially as blackmail material against other characters, such as Aaron and Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley).

Despite some fans’ suspicions, it’s also important to remember that Anthony was said to have terminal cancer, which adds another layer of complexity to the theory. Could the cancer have been a lie, or could John be manipulating the situation further?

As the storyline unfolds, Emmerdale viewers are eagerly awaiting answers. Will the truth about Anthony’s fate finally come to light, or will John continue to control the situation, with devastating consequences for those around him? Stay tuned for more updates!
