EMMERDALE fans have spotted an awkward yet funny blunder during one of this week's episodes.
In the scenes on Tuesday (November 5), Emmerdale viewers watched as Aaron Dingle and Victoria Sugden chatted together at The Hop.
As the pair discussed Seb, Aaron revealed that he wished they could have looked after the child between them.
Yet Vic was the voice of reason as she reassured Aaron that she knows how much he loves Seb, but it was right he didn't stay and went to Rebecca's aunt instead.
The pair were unaware that John Sugden had entered the restaurant and was in the background.
In scenes, John appeared lingering in the background, as he paused as he listened in to the conversation between the pair.

He listened to them discuss before then emerging and joining the conversation, covering up his listening in.
However Emmerdale viewers have laughed at the fact that John was so far away from Aaron and Victoria, as they pointed out there's no way he could have heard them.
One fan wrote on X: "There is no way in hell that John heard Victoria and Aaron!"
Another shared: "John must have magnificent hearing if he can hear that conversation."

"I was amused in the Hop when Vic and Aaron were talking and John could hear every word while hiding at the back. Funny how normally people can talk about someone who’s about three feet away but they can’t hear them!" posted a third.
The scenes come as Emmerdale fans have predicted a dark twist for John Sugden, with Arthur Thomas at the heart of it.
Since returning from Australia, Arthur (Alfie Clarke) has had a huge crush on John.
So far, John has made it clear that he’s not interested in the 17-year-old, but it hasn't yet deterred him.
Emmerdale viewers have seen plenty of scenes between Arthur and John in the month of October alone, the most notable being when Arthur bragged about sleeping with John, who is significantly older than him.
Everything he said about their “romance” was a lie, but soap fans now believe that a deeper connection will form between the pair - but it won’t be good.
