What happened to Victor Anderson in Emmerdale?
VICTOR Anderson suddenly passed away after being accused of theft – but what happened to him?
Victor – portrayed by Eddie Osei – was the estranged husband of Claudette Anderson (Flo Wilson) and the father of Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin).
In June 2023, Victor was released from prison after spending 25 years behind bars.
Victor was imprisoned for an armed robbery which saw him nearly batter a security guard “to death”.
The actor made a surprise arrival which saw Victor have a tense reunion with Charles.
Charles had been behaving strangely, which culminated in him paying a visit to a high-security prison.
The village vicar arrived just in time to see his father Victor walk out of the prison as a free man, having just been released from a long sentence.
Since his release from prison, Victor opened up to his son about his ill health, revealing he has an aneurysm.
Charles was left shocked by Victor’s health revelation, however in recent weeks, he doubted his father was telling the truth and accused him of faking it to get closer to Claudette.
Some fans also believed Victor faked an aneurysm.
However, it appeared he may be telling the truth about his ill health after he suddenly died in last night’s episode.
His last episode saw him being accused of stealing the Sharma’s family heirloom.
Manpreet (Rebecca Sarker) was immediately suspicious of Victor when she noticed the necklace was missing.
Assured her husband was innocent, Claudette was horrified to find the necklace in Victor’s jacket pocket.
Manpreet called the police while Victor made a hurried escape.
Arriving home, Charles was shocked to learn what has happened and he and Claudette rushed to find Victor after he fled the scene.
But then they get a shock when they found Victor in the church appearing to pray and was left stunned to learn he was actually dead.
Claudette broke down in tears as she hugged Victor.
Now, fans think Victor may be telling the truth about stealing the necklace and not knowing how it ended up in his coat pocket.
Some believe he was framed by his son Charles, who was determined to expose his manipulative behaviour and accused him of lying about his poor health.
Viewers will have to wait and see as the Anderson family come to terms with the latest tragedy.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
