John has caused plenty of trouble for the Dales residents since his arrival in the village last month, having quickly made an enemy of Mackenzie Boyd and developed a complicated relationship with Aaron Dingle following their surprise passion.

While Victoria has been doing her best to get to know John, her brother has been resistant to her efforts, and new scenes that will air next week will see Victoria get fed up with John’s attitude.

Vic decides to take some time to share some old family photos with John, but when John won’t stop staring at his phone, his sister feels neglected.

Irritated, Victoria demands to know what’s distracting John and she grabs his phone from him. She’s shocked when she realises that he’s been exchanging more messages with Aaron.

Victoria soon starts interrogating John about his secret fling with Aaron, surprised that he is so involved with their brother Robert’s ex-husband. John is unimpressed by Victoria’s questions and walks out of the pub, leaving Victoria wondering what else he might be hiding.

Later that day, Victoria goes to knock for John at his van to say sorry for upsetting him. But when she doesn’t get an answer, Vic lets herself into the vehicle.

She soon finds a box filled with army dog tags, with the name ‘Aidan Moore’ stamped on them – a box that she previously found in her son Harry’s room.

As Victoria ponders what the dog tags mean, John suddenly turns up and is furious that Victoria has invaded his privacy and snooped into his belongings.

He quickly throws her out of the van – but will Victoria’s discovery prompt her to do some more investigating into who Aidan Moore really is?
