John's past is too close for comfort as Aidan awakens from his coma in Emmerdale

Will Aidan remember their shared past?

 17-23 MAY

With Harry on a drip in the hospital, Mackenzie is a pariah. Overwhelmed with his secret guilt, John can’t help snapping at Aaron. Blaming himself for Harry’s condition, Mack breaks down in John’s arms, as John’s guilt threatens to overwhelm him too.

With Mack being ostracised by sister Moira and mortified over his actions, he backs out of being Aaron’s best man. Seeing how gutted Aaron is at the news, John vows to fix things and soon orchestrates a plan but will it work?

At the hospital, Victoria is grateful to John for all his support and John is delighted until he bumps into Cathleen, who assumes he's been notified that there's been news about Aidan and begs him to accompany her to see him on his ward.

I’s too dangerously close for John who can’t wait to get Harry out of hospital as soon as possible. At the mention of John, Aidan’s eyelids suddenly spring open.

The next day, John is trapped in a new private nightmare when he hears that Aidan has awoken from his coma and is drawn to Aidan’s bedside to try and assess the threat level. Will Aidan remember their shared past? 

With Harry due home from hospital tomorrow and Aidan thankfully still non-verbal, John is hopeful. However, unbeknownst to him Belle’s about to pull the thread that could unravel his lies.

Meanwhile, Mack is doing everything he can to make amends after his apparent mistake with the slurry. And Nicola catastrophizes about the village water supply, with Charity telling her the situation has left Mackenzie a broken man.

Soon, Nicola’s impressed with herself as she arranges an emergency water supply for the village.

Emmerdale continues Mondays to Fridays at 7.30pm on ITV1 with first look episodes available from 7am on ITVX
