John claims another victim in Emmerdale ITVX streaming release as Cain collapses

The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn't aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.
John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) spent the morning looking for a new victim in Emmerdale, and he ended up choosing Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley).
Yesterday, John called a mental health aider and spoke about his insecurities surrounding his relationship with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller). With Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) causing problems, John has been feeling paranoid about Aaron leaving him for his distant brother.
The volunteer on the phone asked John what makes him feel good in his life. He opened up about being a paramedic, and said that he gets such a rush when he saves someone and everybody praises him afterwards. The person on the line, not knowing who John really is, suggested that he might feel better if he focuses more on his passion for his career.
With that, an idea formed.
John popped into the shop first thing in tonight's episode and got chatting to a vulnerable Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell). As he left to develop an idea of how to put the beloved character in danger, Cain arrived.
Cain wanted to talk about Nate's upcoming funeral with Tracy Shankley (Amy Walsh), but she made it perfectly clear the man was not welcome. The news really hurt Cain, and he tried to gain control of the situation by commenting on Eric's relationship with David.
Eric hit back at Cain and said that his son is alive, unlike Nate. He knew that Cain was lashing out at Tracy because he couldn't deal with the fact his relationship with Nate was so broken when he died. Tears formed in Cain's eyes as Eric said this, clearly hitting the nail on the head.
We later found Cain sitting by Zak's graveside with Sam (James Hooton). He had been sent some more of Zak's belongings by Debbie and within the box was some 'Moonshine', a dodgy bottle of his homemade whisky.
It tasted vile but the strength of the alcohol hit the spot for Cain. He took the drink and wandered down the road, where he was spotted by John.
By this point, John had developed a plan to put Eric in danger and was outside his house getting set up. As he watched Cain stagger towards him though, the situation changed.
John left Eric and took Cain back to Butlers. There, he encouraged Cain to drink more and more. John pushed Cain so much, he ended up consuming a bottle of scotch and the majority of the whisky.
A very drunk and disorientated Cain stood up, made his way to the lounge and then collapsed. John smiled as he stood over Cain's body – this, as far as he was concerned, was perfect.

John put Cain in the recovery position just as Moira (Natalie J Robb) returned. As he rushed off to get his medical kit, we saw John smirking again, getting that buzz he was desperately craving yesterday. More Trending
John set Cain up with a drip and advised Moira, who was beyond thankful that he was in the right place at the right time.
Heading back to the flat, John was in a brilliant mood. Just as he felt like he was back in control though, it was torn away from him due to the flat doorbell ringing.

Popular EastEnders dog Terence has died, owners confirm

Terence, a Lhasa Apso dog, arrived in Albert Square back in October 2001 when Billy Mitchell gave the dog to Janine Butcher as a gift for her 18th birthday. The dog, which is classed as "non-binary" by fans due to it being referred to as both a he and a she while on EastEnders, was usually seen on-screen with Janine and was involved in several key scenes.

The dog proved popular among fans, with users on Reddit group r/EastEnders recently describing Terrence as their "all-time favourite pet" from the BBC soap.

Dad shares eye-watering bill after taking family for breakfast at Disneyland

A dad could not believe the price he was charged for dining at Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures, at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa, earlier this month A dad "almost spat out" his coffee when he was handed an eye-watering bill after going out for breakfast with his family at Disneyland. John Tolkien shared a snap of the nearly $1,000 receipt on social media after his family's breakfast at Disneyland California. The Disneyland Princess Breakfast totalled $937.65 for three children and two adults, which included a $150 tip — just over 20% of the original amount. ‌ ''Princess Breakfast' at Disneyland with my kids,' John wrote on X. 'Almost spit out my coffee.' The post has been viewed more than 16 million times on the social media platform, with thousands of users expressing their horror at the cost. ‌ Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures is offered at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa.. Prices start at $142, with the Disneyland website stating: "Treat your child to an unforgettable 3-course breakfast and enchanting encounters with some favorite Disney Princesses." It adds: "Dreams come true in the Trillium Room inside Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, where you'll be served a sumptuous three-course breakfast. Kids can let their imaginations soar during one-of-a-kind Princess-themed activities. "Upon arrival, Disney Princesses are waiting to greet you and share in your hopes and dreams prior to taking a photo on a beautiful private patio. You may take part in storytime with Belle or learn some fierce warrior poses with Mulan." Guests enjoy a three-course breakfast, with tiered appetizer towers including lobster rolls, beignets and cornbread. Children can enjoy mains like chicken and waffles and macaroni and cheese. Adults can choose from scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, deviled eggs and braised short ribs. The restaurant serves a selection of desserts, including cake pops, sorbet and macarons. ‌ Following John's post on social media about the breakfast, thousands of people shared their views on the pricing. 'Please tell me you have 35 kids,' one person commented. Another wrote: 'That's ridiculous. So torn about going to Disney — could literally go to Italy for a month for the same amount.' A third said: "This is one of those moments I'm not tipping a single penny, and you can all call me a monster for it." A fourth commented: "The restaurant saw you coming from a mile away, huh? Poorly plated food sold at premium prices. You could have eaten at a 3 star Michelin restaurant for cheaper." Appearing to see the funny side, John replied to his original post: "I'll just take a gas station burrito & sugar-free Red Bull and hang onto the remaining… $930." The dad later added: "Service was attentive and enthusiastic, princesses were all trained pro-actresses and spent a lot of time with the kids. I enjoyed it."
