Fans of Emmerdale have slammed Victoria Sugden over her behaviour towards newcomer – and long-lost brother – John Sugden. The village’s last remaining Sugden learned that she had a brother she never knew existed recently – bumping into John at the funeral of one of Pollard’s old friends.
After a series of calamities, John found himself stranded in the village, having made an enemy of Mack and Aaron. As he clashed with the mischievous lads, John found himself at a loose end, and was offered a job on the farm by Cain.
Victoria gets to know John
During this time, he shacked up with Victoria, who was keen to get to know her brother. And, as he agreed to some fish fingers and a kickabout with his nephew, it seemed as though the family were hitting it off at last.
However, John soon became irritated by Victoria’s many questions and insistence that they grab a beer and a movie. And, as the scenes unfolded, fans became concerned that Victoria was about to scare poor John off.

“I think your way of encouraging John to stay is what’s driving him away, Victoria. Stalkers are less bother,” wrote a third.
