I want it to be 2015 again.. I want to watch robert say I love you to Aaron for the first time. I want to feel what I felt after hearing ‘say it again’ ‘I love you’ .. the elation.. the giddiness … take me BACKKK

[sugdenlovesdingle]

Tell me this

Isn't a cheap rip off of this

Aaron and the Sugden he's dating vs a common enemy at the village bonfire night party

Like come on, they're not even trying here.

[sugdensdingle]

Aaron opens up to John about Robert next week!

[thelovetheystole]

Yeah, if you follow me or even just look at some of my posts, you'll know I have words to say about this here spoiler article...

Why don't we start with the picture? They just look so darn in love don't they? *thinly veiled sarcasm* Top image selection 👍

Moving on to the headline. Ah yes, finally, they profess their love. They've been through so much, haven't they? They way the fans have been kept waiting for this moment! *more sarcasm*

Who wouldn't be unimpressed with a camping trip in actual late December?? I still can't help but be conspirational about this need of John's to drag Aaron on this trip, where he then suddenly opens up about Aidan (which he can't do at home with all the pressure of everyday life!), and I love yous are said... It still sounds like something someone could have planned if they were told about SSW 2016 and wanted to recreate it...

I'm sorry, they are going to be kept warm by the glow of their hearts??!! 🤣🤣🤣

They've both dragged their heels? Okay, if you say so. They met in August and moved in together in November, seems pretty quick to me, by soap standards, but what do I know? (I know that Robron met in November 2014 and moved in together in July 2016...)

What emotional connection are they depening? They've never talked before this! Their off screen time together must be much better than their on screen one...

Aaron's been hung up on Robert for so long, you say? (Thought it was just Seb?) Also, poor ol' murdered Ben and the bloke Aaron was going to uproot from Italy. Guess we were right about them all along, huh 🤷‍♀️ Bet we are right about this guy too 😇

Not only are they in love you guys, they are deeply in love. This need to lay it on so thick in the spoilers comes directly from the lack of effort they have put in with this pairing from day 1. Classic case of tell, don't show that Emmerdale has favored so much these last couple of years.

Less dramatic times, you say? That's Emmerdale code for more dramatic isn't it? And more laughs means Aaron's going to cry again? Because Danny has not been working this much lately for Aaron and John to be having a laugh in the pub...

I'm not convinced that Robert will come back this Christmas, but I'm definitely not ruling out an early 2025 return 🤞

As a final note, the fact that the Emmerdale team and most of the media aren't trying to create suspicion about John makes me even more suspicious... Remember when they tried to make Ben interesting with secret phonecalls and mystery men in taxis? This John thing is the complete opposite, which makes me 👀

Right now, everything is too neat, too cute, too 'perfect'.

Remember the interactions between Aaron and Robert before/around the time Robert went to prison?

You wanna tell me that a man who loves his husband that much wouldn't consider at least trying to get his son back to Aaron when an opportunity like this comes up??? Oh yeah of course the Robert we knew wouldn't have filed for divorce either.

I hate these plotpoints I hate how they ruin years YEARS of character development in a fucking blink

[renamusing]

just watched today's hour long ep and im leaving my thoughts below:

putting aside the fact that the current writers can be complete nonsensical idiots most of the time, there is something pretty suspicious about this whole rebecca plot twist.

first, why kill her if ross says they had split up for a while before she died? if this twist was only to serve ross's comeback story, then they had no need to kill rebecca at all. ross said today that after they split, rebecca had already moved to bristol with seb to stay with her aunt so that would have been that. ross would still have been stupid enough to get into illegal fighting and other criminal activities on his own without the added grief of her death.

second, people are panicking because robert apparently signed the papers so seb could stay with this supposed aunt of rebecca. im sorry, but what else did you expect robert to do? since the moment he went to prison, robert made it a priority to sever himself from aaron. he handed himself in so aaron could have a life of his own, and seb a dad he could one day be proud of, instead of a father on the run for the rest of his life. so i don't believe robert would EVER put seb on aaron if he could avoid it. can you imagine, robert thinking aaron has settled somewhere with a guy living a life of his own just how robert wished, only for robert to saddle him with his kid? yes, for us fans, that wouldn't be selfish because we know aaron would be great with seb, however, the prospect brings up so many questions to me personally, like does robert even know liv died? does he know aaron went to live in italy for a time? does he know aaron came back? we can't even trust victoria to have told robert anything because according to ross victoria hasn't been in contact with robert recently! she hasn't even been in contact with bex and seb, for years! even aaron said they didn't get in touch because they thought rebecca, ross and seb were "happy". which brings me to my third point.

according to today's episode, rebecca died around 3 months ago. who also showed up just around that time? john sugden. im not trying to build a conspiracy theory here—could john's army medic past allow him to perform surgeries in liverpool?? lmao im kidding—what i mean is (and correct me if im wrong), this seems like the time the "new stories" overseen by iain macleod started kicking in. which means they had to cover plot holes from past stories in the least limiting way possible, especially considering the show wouldn't want to spoil robert's return (if ryan does come back) or the fact he isn't coming back at all.

so we don't know if rebecca died before or after victoria called robert to tell him about john like she said she would. we don't know if it was robert who decided not to mention bex's death to vic, or if vic even spoke to robert at all after meeting john.

what im more and more certain of, though, is that seb will play a big part in the story going forward. his predicament as an orphan could:

give vic a plot - because why didn't her brother trust her with his son? could it be because robert thought she already had her hands full with her own kid? or did he think seb would be happier and more comfortable with people he already knew and was familiar with? now that vic's dismal plot with jacob is done, i can see her trying to get some offscreen visiting rights with the bristol auntie, or, in the best case scenario, onscreen seb visits.

give aaron a plot - unfortunately another one that involves john, because being a father is something that aaron always wanted and, depending on who writes this sl, it could have him opening up to john about his and robert's surrogacy attempts. i don't mind it at all, because if robert comes back it will be much juicier if aaron and john are as settled as possible (good luck with that nonexistent chemistry lol), yet i refuse to watch those two bring up seb. period.

an emergency exit to ross - michael parr's interviews have been vague at best. he has talked about doing a short stint and not knowing what the future holds for his character, so if seb doesn't return in the foreseeable, he could well be the reason ross goes away again.

speed up robert's release - yes, robert signed the papers for seb to stay with his aunt in bristol, but i don't doubt he has thought about attempting a new appeal so he could be with his son. legal matters take time and with the lee/luke plot loophole from a few years back, it would only be a case of waiting for ryan to be available.

this seems to be the gist of it to me so far. but i have to mention the one thing that stood out to me today and which i really enjoyed was how calm aaron was through everything except the one moment ross threw the 'slept with his brother' comment in his face. i need 10 more of those, ross. keep them coming!

No, I don’t watch ED and haven’t since Robert last aired (yeah, yeah… I did post that bit with Aaron but didn’t pay attention to anything else in that episode, fast forward is your best friend 😁). But I can’t ignore what is all over Twitter and here (thanks to the early player release) that Hippy Henrietta has met her welcome maker apparently months ago. So what does that mean? Hello, Sebastian White (hopefully to be changed to Sugden one day) finally returning to the village of the damned.

There are so many questions. Why wasn’t Robert’s sister contacted as she is Sebastian’s aunt and, more importantly, why wouldn’t Robert have been notified that his son was motherless? The plot relative (when we KNOW there is only Lachlan left) that Sebastian’s apparently been holed up with (is that the truth or a lie?)… whose decision was that? Did that woman have a will stipulating that the Sugdens have zero say where Sebastian ended up in case of her demise? Did Ross have power of attorney to do whatever with Sebastian? Is he actually in foster care? Either way, hopefully Sebastian lands back in the village BEFORE Christmas and, in time, Aaron takes over his parenting if Robert is not the Christmas return. The one thing I do worry about is the faux. This hat trick character should have zero involvement with Sebastian when it comes to raising him (that would be too disturbing no matter which way you look at it when Robert is still breathing).

[bettaklainerobron]

It's been 5 years since Ryan left, in these years I have never forgotten Robron and I have always had the hope of his return, I was perfectly aware that Aaron would have a love interest but the thing that I wonder if Emmerdale wants us to forget about Robert / Robron why put Aaron with his brother? And now they kill Rebecca instead of making her leave Ross

what should I think? if before I was confident now I am even more. Why all this if Seb or Robert does not return? I would really like to know

[veryveryverytemporarily]

I'm genuinely starting to believe they'll have fauxbert kill someone by accident, lie about his role in it to Aaron and get him to help cover it up.

The horror I feel for this (non) story with this cardboard Sugden knows no bounds.

[jethought-s]

I don't know if there are any Buddie fans here who watched Emmerdale and was as hopelessly in love with Robron as I was, but if so, you will understand that I suffered Chris's farewell as much as Seb's💔

The fact that I don't know if Gavin, and therefore Chris, will return honestly devastates me, because I fear I will never be able to see the show and Buddie's relationship with the same eyes again. Among other things, I hate how the whole thing happened, what they did with Eddie's character, the interactions with Buck, yet another attempt at redemption for Eddie's parents (totally failed for me, in fact I hate them even more). There would be a lot to talk about and analyze, I think I'll do a more in-depth post (I've already started writing it actually, but I started crying halfway through and can't finish it😭)

[aaronsbisexualsugden]

They confess their love for each other… in the woods…

[sugdenlovesdingle]

Defensive Aaron storming off when fauxbert gets too close to the truth perhaps?? The truth that he still loves Robert? ? And always will??

Someone get Ryan on the phone! Give him everything he wants emmerdale, just get him back!

[sugdensdingle]

Sending Seb to some unknown aunt of Rebecca’s is such a weird choice, especially when his Aunt Victoria is right there. Just recently, they were saying that they wanted to cement the Sugdens back into the village. Now they have chosen to kill off Rebecca for seemingly no reason (they could’ve just had her & Ross break up?) and they have the perfect opportunity to bring a Sugden back and again, they’re making the choice not to?

The only reason I can see them not bringing Seb back yet is because they’re planning on bringing his father back soon (maybe as the Christmas return..?)

I’m not even clowning at this point, like all of this just HAS to mean something and it’s got to be because Robert’s coming back. I just hope it’s not a recast

[thelovetheystole]

Early spoiler on twitter says 'Aaron is unimpressed when a loved one reveals a surprise'. I think it's for right before Christmas.

My first thought was, has Fauxbert gotten him something that is going to be like a Robron throwback again? Like a Christmas jumper maybe? A trip to Vegas? Leeds festival tickets? His last rollo? (Would love it if Fauxbert planned copycat stuff like this for sinister reasons...)

Any guesses if it's not Fauxbert though? Could it be something about Seb? Or just a nonsense scene with Chas or Paddy?

[buddiebeginz]

So apparently Emmerdale is going to be doing a breast cancer storyline with Chas soon (they just posted about it on instagram). I just feel like now more than ever is when Rob should come back. I know it all depends on if/when Ryan wants to come back but I’m hoping he will. After all Aaron has lost and all he’s been through and the state of mind he’s been in recently I really don’t want to see him go through the possibility of loosing his mom alone. Even with how contentious their relationship has become in recent times she’s still his mom and I know she still matters to him.

I just really want to see Rob come home and be there to support Aaron like he did during the abuse storyline and I know he’d support Chas too. I loved Rob and Chas’s relationship back in 2016/2017 and how she came to care about him and support Robron after everything that happened. I’d love to see them having scenes again. Manifesting Ryan coming back in 2024. 🙏
