Soap watchers are on red alert as they reckon they've sussed where Emmerdale's Seb White actually is, kicking off major drama in the Dales.
Seb, son to Rebecca White and Robert Sugden after their affair, waved goodbye to the village back in 2018 along with his mum Rebecca and her partner Ross Barton. Seven years on, Ross told the villagers Seb is currently with Rebecca's aunt in Bristol, with Robert's permission.
But eagle-eyed fans aren't buying what Ross is selling about where little Seb is now, and it looks like Aaron and Victoria are itching to crack the mystery right open. A clued-up fan pitched in online: "It's a lie about Rebecca ain't it? Seb with Ross and childminder somewhere?? She'll come looking for him and baby?"
Then there's another sleuth who reckoned: "So Rebecca is dead and Seb was sent to some random relative in Bristol with Robert's blessing? No way," reports Leeds Live.
Someone else is certain they know exactly where Seb is – and it's pretty dark. With Moses watching his dad Ross in an underground fighting ring, they put money on fight organiser Jade having kidnapped Seb to blackmail Ross into fighting.
One armchair detective spilled: "We don't know the name of this aunt in Bristol yet. What if papers signed were to hand Seb off to Aunt Vic but Ross has pulled a scam to presented someone else as 'Aunt Vic', and Seb has has been abducted by Jade or whatever gangster name she goes by and her squad?"
Another viewer reckoned, "I feel like Seb has been kidnapped by the fighting ring people to make Ross keep fighting..."
Others are sure Ross could even be lying about Rebecca's death. One telly addict chipped in: "Time for another one of my wild theories... no way Rebecca is dead in #Emmerdale. Ross is lying and I think that fight woman could be Rebecca (recast) and in disguise..."
Meanwhile, someone else flagged up: "Something about Ross's story doesn't add up, a routine op kills her when she had a TBI to contend with? Why wouldn't the writers use that if she was really dead... he lyingggg."
