Aaron: "Do us all a favour and leave and don't come back"

Jack: "You drive 'til you're well away and you don't come back"

😭😭😭

do y’all think that until today the last time someone hugged robert sugden was the 1st november 2019

I know everyone keeps talking about how Robert was alone in prison when he found out about Liv but Faith also died while he was inside and I think the biggest one was his own Gran passed away while he was locked up!

He spent 6 years in prison and lost 3 people he loved! He also lost the mother of his son which I’m sure he will be sad about not for himself but for his son since he knows what it is like to lose a mother (he lost 2).

Hope they talk about all that in future episodes.

I think the best thing about Robron is that it didn’t really start in 2014. If you watched the last 20 years of Emmerdale they’ve accidently been built over the years, which of course is due to the long-standing of character that both Aaron and Robert are. They aren’t like a typical british soap where maybe one is a legacy character and the other one came into the show less than a few years and have to build them up or both. They came so naturally due to their already historic legacies on the show.

Aaron and Robert BOTH returned to the show in 2014 and boom, they get together and it’s electric because the characters were already established. Some examples being that if you watch 2003/2004, you’ll see Aaron and Robert in the same episodes together and that is 20/21 years before they even actually met. They were both at Andy and Katie’s first wedding then all those years later they were having an affair at their second wedding. Aaron was introduced to the show as a child (the same time Robert was in it) who had resentment to his mother, was acting out and seemed to worship his father, when the truth of it was childhood sexual abuse, it wasn’t until all those years later Robert was the very first person Aaron ever told.

Robert and Katie once had an affair around the same time Aaron was introduced and she ended up dead all those years later due to their affair. Robert’s father was briefly with a women called Barbara in like 1988, which was actually on-screen, all those years later it gets revealed that she had his baby who happened to be the same person who ends up marrying Aaron and has a love rival with Robert (who will eventually get back together). Then Robert once spoke about how in 2000 his father ‘leathered him’ when he caught him with another boy, despite never being shown on screen for obvious reasons (Robert was never confirmed bi until 2014), you can rewatch that year and use the imagination and guess when it could have happened but also knowing that Aaron would very later on be the only person Robert ever told about that moment (Despite Aaron not existing as a character then).

Not to mention Sandra being pregnant with the same baby who was later looked after by Aaron and Robert when they became a little family. Her first introduction was with Aaron and Robert.

This is one reason why I love soaps so much but also it’s just crazy how accidental they made robron so early on.

last gifset just reminds me how much angst they crammed before, during and after robert's exit in late 2019, like not only was robert losing his mind scared of what aaron would do when he went to prison, robert told baby SEB to watch over aaron, and when robert talked to chas about it she promised him they would all look after aaron, but then rebecca cut all access to seb, liv became an alcoholic and later DIED, vic got together with the brother of her rapist who robert went to prison for killing and became besties with his mom, chas started the affair that indirectly had liv killed and paddy with a shotgun in his mouth trying to kill himself, and to top it all off, on the day of liv's funeral chas basically told aaron to fuck off back to italy so she could continue her affair in peace. no wonder aaron came back in 2023 ready to shoot all dingles and villagers on sight. he had all the reasons in the world to be a broken angry mess. after he lost robert he really lost everything. robert was the only person in the whole world who always put him first and yeah maybe cutting all contact was extreme (regardless of the ryan of it) but he did it For aaron. even robert's cruelest act was sacrificing himself so that aaron could be happy. EVERYONE ELSE LET HIM DOWN, ALL OF THEM. it's sad and tragic and it breaks my heart and i hope robert never learns the true scope of what aaron went through because he will burn that village to the ground.

I also just wanna add that (as someone who stopped watching emmerdale after rob left and is only now catching up on the ~lost years~ episodes) aaron's character really has reverted back to his gruff, quiet, always-ready-to-fight self - basically how he acted when he was a teenager (you know...the time of his life when he was most depressed).

I've been seeing all the posts/gifs of background robron/dryan in scenes, usually just sat in the pub chatting in the bg, but it really highlighted that aaron, with robert, was always laughing and talking rob's ear off and gesturing wildly, and rob sat there happy to let his husband natter away to him ((and I know that that's probably due to danny miller being much more extroverted and expressive than aaron is, but still)). The way danny miller has been playing aaron recently really highlights that he is MISERABLE with john. You'd never see aaron behave like he did, even in the background, cause he just isn't happy/comfortable with john. OP is so right that aaron just closes up around john and curls into himself. We need robert to get aaron back out of his shell asap cause it's actually so depressing to see how far he's regressed.

Its crazy how aaron would literally never act the way he does with john with robert. He makes himself small and docile, he barely accepts affection, barely smiles. You get all that in just today’s episode. Always nervous and worried and just. Not himself. And i KNOW THIS because he was SO HIMSELF in that prison conversation with robert 😭 He pushed against robert, active, fighting for his presence in the conversation. He was so vulnerable, beyond his control, against his desire to feel nothing. He was truthful and direct, unafraid. Miller’s performance is insane.

Like. All the things he is not with John (even when he fights him like the robert talk or their early hookups, he so easily submits to passivity — just compare their fights). And ALWAYS has been with Robert, which made them fight all the time at the beginning … but it created their ironclad bond. They are total equals, total honesty. We laugh over how crazy they (well mostly Robert) acted the first year but that level of crazy just made it so they can not say or do anything that can get them away from each other — and that has been their relationship since, with every fucked up thing that happens or they do their relationship expands to fit it. What robert did to aaron in 2019 and what theyve gone through since and this john drama is just another thing they’ll integrate into their relationship to make it more indestructible. Everything just keeps making them stronger its so scary.

I actually can’t believe Aaron was only 24 when they first get engaged, that’s so young!! He seemed so old to me at the time but now I’m older than that and it seems maddd

[amuletgrace]

"wacko" "disturbed" "creepy" "weird" "odd"

imagine someone meeting you for the first time and they've completely clocked you

[amuletgrace]

I desperately want them to dive into how Robert uses sleeping around and bullshit relationships as a shit coping mechanism/form of self harm.

He did it every time something went wrong when he was younger and he did it the whole way through the affair era. Aaron was the first sense of stability he’s had. We even see it happen again with Rebecca after Aaron blows up at him in prison.

I think there’s so much potential in examining how everyone just thinks he’s turned back to his “playboy” ways when he’s actually spiraling and using meaningless sex and surface level relationships to feel a sense of power over some part of his life.

Does anyone else see where I’m going with this??
