Emmerdale fans ‘screaming’ as affair ‘sealed’ between two huge characters

Emmerdale fans have been left ‘screaming’ as the think a huge affair plot could return

Emmerdale fans have been left “screaming” as it looks as though a huge affair storyline could be on the cards.

In 2014, Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) began cheating on fiance Chrissie White (Louise Marwood) with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) that sparked a craze amongst viewers known as Robron. But things did not end well, as the whole affair plot led to the death of Katie Winward (Sammy Winward), on the day that Robert was set to tie the knot after he pushed her through the floor during a confrontation at Wylie’s Farm.

Their relationship was tested in the years that followed and Aaron was later sent to prison when he attacked Lee Posner (Kristopher Ian Mochrie) for raping his sister Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) but the pair were able to navigate through things and eventually married in 2016. But Lee died after suffering brain haemorrhage that came as a result of the attack, and Robert was sentenced to 14 years in prison.

Fans of the Yorkshire-based soap will know that, despite his lengthy sentence, he made a shock return earlier this year after being released from prison early and he stormed into Aaron’s wedding, who has now struck up a relationship with Robert’s brother John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth). The wedding went ahead, even though Robert and his former flame shared a kiss, but fans of the former couple are now very excited over the idea that a spark between them could make a comeback for good.

Tweeting a photo from a magazine teaser that claimed a “surprise encounter” is on the horizon for Robert and Aaron, one super fan simply wrote: “AFFAIR 2.0 AFFAIR 2.0 AFFAIR 2.0 AFFAIR 2.0 AFFAIR 2.0 AFFAIR 2.0 AFFAIR 2.0 AFFAIR 2.0”, whilst another bluntly admitted: “I AM F****** SCREAMING RIGHT NOW.” Another claimed that fans of the soap were “winning” with the update, whilst a fourth user wrote :”OMGGGGGGGG”, seemingly in disbelief of the news.

A fifth viewer seemed rather impatient with the current plot that has seen John work his way through the village as a killer, but promised that they would start watching again if the couple was to reunite, as they wrote: “It better be because iv stopped watching the show until they get back together this storyline with John has dragged on for far to long now.”(sic)

This isn’t the fist time fans have theorised that Robron will make a comeback, with fans predicting that something was coming last month following a dramatic episode. Aaron and John were seen having a romantic night in, when they heard a knock at the door. To their surprise, it was none other than Robert at the door. Having just been released from prison, Robert smugly asked the pair if he could join their night.

Robert then told the pair he had just been released from prison, before saying: “Thought I’d spend some time with my family.” However, a less than impressed Aaron stood up and responded: “Well not here you’re not, get out.”

Robert didn’t put up a fight to stay, although he told Aaron he’d be seeing him soon. With a huge pause, he then ended the sentence by saying: “Family” and looking John straight in the eye. However, it was Aaron’s face fans couldn’t look away from as they noticed a smirk when his ex-lover walked into the room. Despite pretending in front of husband John he wanted Robert gone, he wasn’t fooling fans.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: “The way Aaron smirked when Robert walked through the door. Oh John you’re so done!”

A second commented: “The way both Aaron and John know they’re done for now, and both in completely different ways. “Aaron because he knows him and Rob are inevitable and John because he knows Robert will absolutely destroy him.”

Others were certain Rob would be the one to bring John down “I love Rob. he is going to taunt the hell out of John #emmerdale.”
