Emmerdale 'lets slip' character return in Aaron and John's wedding invite list

A scene this week may have teased a surprise return in just a matter of weeks.

John Sugden and Aaron Dingle's wedding planning revealed a list of people possibly being invited to their rather rushed nuptials. One name in particular on the draft list could seal a comeback a year on from their abrupt exit when they fled the village.

Nicky Miligan was named as a possible invite on the initial list Aaron was using while chatting with his fiancé John. There was a second list that appeared to show Aaron removing people which maybe hinted Nicky was no longer on the guest list.

That said, his name was clearly printed on the initial list that had been drafted up by Aaron's mother Chas Dingle. It was for her big day, with Chas set to wed her partner Liam Cavanagh.

But after some drama with Ella Forster, with John actually to blame, Chas decided to push back her and Liam's wedding. But with them already having booked things and put down deposits, they realised they would have lost a lot of money if they did not go through with it.

With Chas not comfortable with getting wed so soon now that Ella was causing them trouble, her son Aaron decided to take the slot after his engagement to John. Just weeks on from them getting engaged, Aaron told John he was thinking of taking the wedding slot from his mum.

John was initially hesitant about it, but soon he agreed and now they will be getting married. With wedding planning underway this week amid a twist surrounding Aidan Moore, Aaron used his mum's guest list to plan his own invites.

Viewers noticed Aaron's cousin Nicky was on the initial list, and wondered whether this meant he was returning. Nicky fled the village after falling out with his parents Caleb and Ruby last year, and he went travelling with his boyfriend Suni.

He's been mentioned constantly in recent months with Steph Miligan in touch with her brother, while Ruby went to stay with her son earlier in the year. Fans have long predicted he will be back soon after his abrupt exit last year, so might he come back for the big wedding?

One fan asked on social media: "So is Nicky coming back?" as another commented: "Nicky & Steph would be guests of Chas." Others were left very confused about the list and who was attending for who.

It comes as fans wondered if someone was in danger after they expose John's lie about Aidan next week. We found out this week the truth around Aidan's fate, with hints at what led to him being hospitalised. After months of John claiming he was dead, we saw he was actually alive and in a coma.

But amid speculation he may wake up, new spoilers have revealed someone learns the truth about Aidan's fate next week. His sister Victoria Sugden meets with an old army mate of John's called Connor, who tells her all about Aidan. When she finds out Aidan is alive and in a coma she goes to visit him before rushing out.

Back at home she wastes no time in confronting her brother about Aidan and the truth about his fate. She demands answers and John is left agitated as he's faced with having to reveal why he lied about Aidan being dead. But could Victoria be in serious danger, and might John end up having to silence her to stop others finding out the truth?
