This is exactly what I said last year. I don't want Robert to change with anyone except Aaron. In fact I want him to be the meanest most evil SOB to everyone who deserves it except for Aaron. With Aaron I want him to love and protect him just like he did tonight.
+Bi-Costal Teacher That´s what I wanted last year. However I can´t get over the fact he was this evil to Aaron just some months ago :( He´ll have to do sooooo much more work to win me back I guess :)
sanyrub The way I see it is if Aaron can forgive him and Robert stays true and admits his love for him then who am I to think differently than by boy Aaron? Plus, I'd heard months ago when it appeared that there was no hope for Robron that things would be changing and not to be too hard on Robert...and I still think about Robert getting shot and in "real life" how would we react to it all? Especially when all the evidence points to a person that you really care about deep in your gut. I'm not forgiving Robert for anything. I'm just logically trying to understand his reasoning for the things he does...but at the end of the day, as long as he is good, kind, loving and totally protective of Aaron he can wreck havoc from one end of ED to the other! ...At least it won't be dull and boring like that "tired ass" (as my sis calls it) Eastenders that every pensioner watches and votes for in awards... :D
+Henry .LT LOL! Of course, in real life, psychopathy isn't just a side. It's a pervasive personality defect. It's brilliant, though, and hilarious that in referring to his "psycho side," you call him Robot.
Danny Miller shined last night, and Ryan Hawley took center stage tonight. Damn!!! The way Robert has been nothing but caring, supportive, and protective with Aaron over this situation is absolutely incredible. Emmerdale is giving me more than I could have asked for from these two actors/characters. Once you've gotten on Robert's list, it's time to leave. As much as I don't wanna see him leave without the pain he deserves, I can't stand to look at Gordon. Robert getting into protective mode as soon as everyone walked away was beyond amazing. I can not wait to see what is to come for this story.
+Aaron Fan How much of Robert's traits & history does Gordon know? Is he in a position to appreciate that having Robert as an enemy could be extremely serious?
Emmerdale really cast Robert well. Ryan Hawley has been on fire since day one. Today more proof of that. First taking care of Aaron and then letting Gordon know how things are. That last scene was chilling.
+mikha1280 I agree he was perfectly casted. I said it from day one. There are people who think the previous actor was better though. I don´t even have an opion on taht cause I haven´t really checked for videos with him. Not that interested in Robert´s history. but Robert is a manipulative character which needs to be played by someone good at that, and Ryan is. Robert is not usually involved in extremely hard and emotional stories (character driven I mean) so it´s ok that he´s not as good at those type of scenes as actors playing Aaron, Laurel, Moira, Emma and many others. Perfect casting for the role.
+Mia Geach Yes! Yes! Yes! Ryan Hawley is definitely amazing playing Robert. He nailed it.When I hate him when he was evil,I hate him so much.But when he is being such an angel like this,I cant help myself loving him so much :)
I love Robert being protective of Aaron, and the look of disgust and anger on his face when Gordon was talking to chas and said "what's he gunna do, tell Aaron we're sharing a bed" Loved it, love u RobRon
I just had to watch it again so I could get the full effect of seeing Robert in his glory. Thanks for the upload each time. The writers are at the top of their skill right now. I can't wait to see how this is all going to go.
3:59 Robert to Gordon: "You might be better off if that cancer comes back and finishes you off before someone else gets the chance to." I've watched this a dozen times. This is the first time I've ever been totally with Robert! Powerful writing, perfect delivery. At the end Gordon looks scared.
+alwaysuseless I´m very curious to see where this goes. Will Gordon still be around for long? Will he be off in a month time max? Right now it is Robert doing it cause he has been the first to know, but it will surely become more about the family, first Cain and all that but eventually, the big drama and real deal, will be with Chas. I can´t wait for that. And yay at Robert finally being usefull being mean with somone who deserves it :)
kevinbaileydbfl Lol, love your sense of humor! I've been so persistent with the message that Robert's a psychopath that surely my ride on the Robert train will be over in the blink of an eye. Of course, we both know that this subplot is going to span at least a few episodes, and I expect to be on board for the entire ride. ;-) As sanyrub alludes to, it's great to see Robert's tendency to threaten people put to good use. Of course, I haven't suddenly forgotten Robert's history & all his lack of human empathy, but *_taken out of context,_* Robert's actions lately look more like the keen & valiant love Aaron needs than just a psychopath protecting his interests. Maybe the show is slyly redeeming Robert, and they intend to break Robert out of the psychopathic mold they've had him in for years. Soaps are "more flexible" than real life.
Glad to see what Robert did for Aaron. Do not play with Robert, he can kill that stupid guy easily but I hope that Robert chooses the another way beside Killing.
This is one of those episodes where you know that Robert is dangerous, and in this moment it's a protective dangerous type of monent, the scary thing about Robert is that he will kill Gordon because he hurt Aaron, and no one can stop Robert once your in his crosshairs.
+red baron Many things can stop Robert though. Not nice people, but people like Charity, Cain and the likes... he´s no match for them :) If Aaron asked right now to kill Gordon I agree Robert would very likely do it. It´s not like he cares that much about certain people dying.
+sanyrub that is true, I almost forgot about Roberts run in with Cain. They never went well for Robert at all, when I look at this situation Aaron is hiding this huge amount of pain that he won't let go.
Don't mess with Robert Sugden or his man....he stared down Gordon w/o batting is eye. It is on now!!! The care that Robert is showing Aaron is just soooooooooooo lovely...somebody said their day got better watching I agree1000%
When Robert goes into Aaron's hospital room at the very beginning of this clip you can see Aaron's blood pressure reads 120/80 so that is a good sign. :-)
+ladybird ellis Giving Chas 2 minutes for what exactly?To chew Aaron out? Because Gordon sure as hell will defend himself by saying Aaron is mentally ill and intentionally says bad things about him to prevent him buying the pub and be together with Chas. Then,it will be Aaron words against Gordon.And I am pretty sure Chas will take Gordon side.
+Adela Lola You are acting as if Chas would be bad to Aaron if she really knew. That would probably happen, but only at first as a sign of someone who can´t believe what she´s hearing. It happens a lot in families in real life.
+ladybird ellis I agree. The Dingles are the true pay-back bitches LOL except for Aaron, who is too nice of a person. Let´s not even mention Charity either LOL who in some ways can be considered a Dingle too.
+sanyrub Yes I agree it happens in real life;someone who cant believe what they are hearing the first time.Which is why I said 2 minutes given to Chas is just enough for her to chew Aaron out.It probably take days before she can accept the fact.
Classic Robert! So glad that after the shooting writers didn't erase his devilish side. First Ross now Gordon. Always level-headed, confident with a deadly precision and Machiavellian tactics. This is top- notch character development. As much as I like them together, I fear that Rob's love for Aaron will somehow in the distant future be his undoing.
loved it when Robert said...someone has to watch out for Aaron-protect him......and he was looking right at Chaz....but she now knows Aaron/Robert are together and She can do nothing about it.......and now Gordon knows Robert knows .......the writers are doing an amazing job....and the acting as usual is "first class".....last episodes were Aaron's and now Robert's........also interesting in hospital when Robert admitted that Aaron was his boyfriend.....so now admitting fact not only to himself publically but also to others.......he has come a long way......the writers have shown his growth as a human being with true feelings in an amazing way......
+tom swift To be honest Robert never was that afraid of coming out or anything. You could see from the start he was a very confident adult doing what he wanted and having no problem with gay people interacting with Finn Aaron and whoever. It was more about his love for money and power. I don´t think it is that big of a change or journey for the character. Robert never was a homophobic and closeted bisexual person. He had chosen to live his straight life more openly cause it benefited him more. We have not seen him suffering for admitting he likes men or anything. What has really changed is that he finally seems decided to be nice to the person who he wants to be his lover, which is a big difference. It´s more about being a decent person now, compared to the bastard he´s been for years. But as character development, I don´t see how that much change has happened regarding feelings and sexuality. And about his ways... I´m sure he´ll show them again eventually. It´s who the character is and has always been.
+sanyrub I disagree. Think that Aaron called it right when he said Rob has been hiding deep in the closet. It's not just the issue of money, status and complacency. Something happened, all those years when he was absent from ED, that made Robert defiantly negate his sexuality. Maybe in the future writers will expose his past.
+Biljana Ć. But has Robert ever expressed any self-hatred over his attraction to men? From what I've seen, Robert was in the closet only because he wanted the advantages of being assumed to be straight.
+alwaysuseless Don't think it is that straightforward. Robert is enormously complex in any other way, I'm assuming the issue of his sexuality will be addressed in future. When he and Aaron start playing a proper couple skeletons from the past will resurface.
Biljana Ć. They have a lot of possibilities for the future, many options to "invent" stories from his past. They just did it with Aaron. And normally they are smart enough to leave open possibilities with all the characters. So if he stays in the show enough time, they will address his years away from ED eventually.
Ryan Hawley plays Robert to perfection loved how he shot Gordon down in flames tonight but did Gordon really think that coming back to Emmerdale trying to get back in with Chas and what! Aaron would be happy about this after the way he abused him??? Hope Gordon backs off and Aaron reports him to the police. Who will buy the Pub then hope its not Chrissie they are the only ones with money.
+nuttynetty I actually think it's an accurate portrayal of abusers. They are often so arrogant that they think they can win their victims round even after being raped.
+nuttynetty I actually think it's an accurate portrayal of abusers. They are often so arrogant that they think they can win their victims round even after being raped.
LOL I had forgotten how much I liked Robert and Chas´ scenes together (when... you know, he tried to kill her and all that months ago). The two characters are very entertaining together, the way Chas reacts and looks at him and all LOL Love it! One of the things I´m looking forward now that they´ve decided to reunite R and A. What a great cast in Emmerdale. Best soap!
It amazes me how clueless and self involved Chas is, I am not saying that she should figure out Gordon molested him but it has been so clear for a while now that something is wrong with Aaron and he has been trying to talk to her several times and she's always busy???? She knows that Aaron is unstable and has a history of self harming yet she just brushes Aaron's behavior off as no big deal, she really is incapable of learning from mistakes, have you noticed that she is always the last one to realize that something is wrong regarding Aaron, Adam can see it, Paddy, Robert, Cain but not his own mother. I hope Robert doesn't kill Gordon, I wouldn't want him to throw his life away for that piece of trash, there are other ways, however I am not sure abt British law, the sexual abuse might be difficult to prove after all this time, I am not sure if Aaron's word would be enough legally and is there a statute of limitation? We know that Robert wants to buy the Pub to be near Aaron, what if he does buy the Pub from Diane and Aaron buy's Chas out cause she doesn't want to work with Robert, then they can run it and live there together:).
+Merima Tropoja Chaz is a clueless idiot. She want to dictate to Aaron who he sees and she is always complaining that she is always the last to know things that pertain to her son. As far as I am concerned that is her own damn fault because she never notices the warning signs that Aaron sends out when he is about to be pushed over the edge. I find it funny that most if not everytime that Gordon knows that Chaz has plans with Aaron, he(Gordon) always makes an alternative plan to get her away from Aaron so she spends as little time with him as possible...
+Merima Tropoja I have been saying this off and on for a long time. Chas fancies herself as the concerned mom, but she's always so self-focused and never thinks psychologically; i.e., she never looks at anything from anyone else's p.o.v. Consequently, her concern never benefits Aaron.
There is no limit on prosecuting a crime like this in the UK but there probably be very little evidence so it would be difficult to take to trial. With Chaz, yes she's clueless and really self-focussed but it's not like she doesn't have any excuses. Her past (recent and long-term) is pretty traumatic too. It's more than frustrating that she never sees Aaron's pain and warning signs until it's too late but I still sympathise with her.
I agree it is refreshing to see Robert show he is caring of someone. I wish though that a tiny shred of Aaron's secret or at least some sort of doubt about Gordon was planted in Chas's head. Her running so blindly for Gordon and not seeming to take Aaron's insistence he is bad with more merit does gnaw some as I watch their scenes.
Robert using his powers for good is awesome. it isn't self serving either. ya he doesn't want Aaron to leave because he loves him and also Aaron leaving isn't the best thing for Aaron, he needs his family. It's funny how Chas brother Cain can go around being the village thug and he is ok and excepted. Chaz is the only one that can't leave Robert alone. If you are a naughty person Emmerdale is 5he village to live in.
If Gordon only knew half of what Robert did in the last year. He would run out the door like scared rabbit. At 2:09 ark Chas is looking at Robert, she knows he is up to something.
Good boy Robert! Now keep it up, please? I really wanna see you with Aaron, but not if you're going to be a mess like before. And I love how he's also kinda looking out for Chas too, asking Aaron to answer her to ressure her and to tell her to protect her from Gordon.
After knowing what really happened to Aaron it's perfectly clear to see why his been acting so angry these past few years and how hard it was for him to come out when he was standing right in front of the judge and had to explain why he hit Jackson. Now I realize how hard it was for Aaron to admit that he was gay. Before when he told Ronert that he felt dirty was the same way he felt when he was with Jackson and whenever anyone would see them both kissing. In a way that was when Aaron started to accept himself and let him be loved. That dirty feeling had disappeared. In a way I feel that Gordon really blamed Aaron for most of what happened in his life, when Chaz left or when Sarah was there and he had to ask his son to leave. Gordon really never took the time to know what a wonderful and kind son, Aaron turned out to be but rather he blamed him for everything that happened. I feel pity for him that even though he could've worked on finding some help for himself but rather ended up raping Aaron. Ronert clearly knows how Aaron tends to bottle up his feelings and never deals were the anything but I just hope that this time he finds a way to deal with this!
+Ken Lal Yes. Now THAT´s a real journey and character development over the years. Aaron´s journey has been so huge and moving from teh start. Including what he has shared with Jackson, Paddy, Chas, Adam and a few others.
wow. suddenly everything that happened between robron does not matter. our beloved vicious robert is back and that too just for aaron. let's hope chas or aaron does not misunderstand his intentions. I am so loving his viciously protective side. I have always loved his defiant side, his habit of never giving up till the end and his relentless efforts to turn things in his favor no matter how much they are against him.
think we need to learn more about what happened to Robert while he was in London....then be able to determine his "proper character"........also think Chaz is a little jealous of Robert due to his closeness to Aaron.....
for a moment I did wonder what our hero was up to there until the end when he got hi ultimatum in Go Robert go. Did wonder though how Aaron got to hospital inthat state in the time it took Robert to go and check the water was hot lol.
This is Robert at his best and most dangerous and for once it's for the right reason. Robert and Cain, if they were ever of a mind to, would be a frighteningly delicious duo. You have been warned, Gordon! But I know that you won't listen and I'm glad because you deserve everything that's coming to you. This is honestly the first time I've ever rooted FOR cancer. And I can't wait for Chas to feel like crap when she finds out because she deserves that as well for being such a horribly selfish parent.
I love this storyline Aaron and Robert both acted brilliantly in this,but I also think if Chas was in her right frame of mind she might have picked up something was wrong with Aaron and his dad, because of all the trauma she went through she can't see it,let's be honest she thinks being back with him is the best thing to happen to her so she won't want to see it, I'm not a Chas fan I don't like her but nor do I dislike her, but she is going to feel so guilty when it all comes out after she left him with his dad I can't help but feel pain for her a little,I would also like to say that people go on about Robert what he's done etc but he's not the only one in emmerdale that has done wrong things he would never do what Gordon did, lets hope Chas doesn't tell Gordon what happened to Katie, also Gordon might get revenge on Aaron for telling by retracting his statement that he was his alibi the night of the robbery but then again I'm pretty sure Cain and Robert would find ways to sort it out
Robert was right Aaron needs someone on his side since his mother's not and his dad's definitely not so Robert the ex boyfriend is the one I love How Robert got in Gordon's face and told him he knew that Gordon sexually abused Aaron multiple times through out his child hood and threatened him to leave town immediately and Gordon actually looked scared when Robert told him he better hope the cancer came back and finished him off before anyone else has a chance too
Glad to see what Robert did Aaron. Do not play with Robert, he can kill that stupid guy easily but l hope that Robert chooses the another way beside killing.
I mean.... I hate Gordon and I hate what Aaron's going through and went through... But DAMN!!!!!!!!! Can I have someone like Robert on my side when someone hurts me?
+alwaysuseless thanks to you... usually, I'm lost in the context and your comments make me an idea. That makes more easy this kind of addiction... first I watch the program, after I see this extracts of Robron's relationship.
I never understood why Aaron said and know one will listen to me....... Is that because he meant no one could see him for years the signs that something was wrong but no one saw it ........ I never understood what he meant any ideas about that let me know still confused....
+Adam Corona If you want the exact words, look for my comment posted about 3 hours after your query. (Call me a stickler, but everyone else either paraphrases or misquotes it.) ㋡
Am I the only one that thinks that they miscast the actor playing Gordon? He looks more like he could be Robert's father than he would Aaron's. I also wonder if they told him what his particular story line would entail when he was hired for the part of Gordon. There are some people who can't separate the connection between an actor and his character because they get so invested in a particular show. I wonder how many times the actor playing Gordon has been insulted or spat on by fans of Emmerdale while out and about living his normal life because fans who love Aaron so much can't make that separation.
+David Lightcap Yeah his short stint won´t be very appreciated by those type of people (which is crazy!). I don´t think it is a miscast cause I buy him as Aaron´s father. But it´s true he happens to be way more similar to Robert. physically but also in the way the characters carry themselves, like a little bit to entitled always.
+David Lightcap I kind of think it's a miscast too. Not only I agree he looks far more like Robert's father than Aaron's (which is really disturbing regarding the current storyline), but also I can't say I'm impressed by his acting skills so far.
l hope not. It will be another reason for Robert and Aaron not to be together. I would like to have my boys enjoy being together for awhile. Maybe some courtroom drama or such, but please don't bring a 3rd man in too soon. Too much bed hopping going on as of late. Paddy? Come on now.
Either this Gordon guy is a very bad actor have no face expression or he is a very good lair who have no react even if the truth smash into his face I really couldn't tell
It is true how this was a shining moment for Robert however remember he promised Aaron he would not say anything and now he has broken that promise. Aaron is pretty black and white when it comes to his trust. He does not see any gray areas. This could come back to bite Robert on the bum in more way then one
+Jeffrey Doughman Yes you are right about this Robert was so angry when he was in the pub listening to them all celebrating he just had to say something. God i hope this doesn't cause yet another row between Aaron & Robert after the last week when they were at least talking again & Robert was trying so hard.
Take a shower and get changed please. Glad Robert's taking care of Aaron but he should take care of himself too. Also, Robert has been more confrontational recently with Ross and Gordon. Robert before was not a brave one; his evil method was more cunning than direct confrontation.
+leibniz It´s true he has always been a little bit coward when it comes to physical confrontation. He only used to be brave enough in direct confrontation with Katie lol
leibniz Well, that´s how it was. He didn´t use to confront people like you said and I agree. But it´s true he did it with Katie though. Take from that what you want.
+sanyrub Robert threatened Paddy not only to hurt him but also the people Paddy cares about, and subsequently he almost killed him in the grain elevator.
Great scene, I guess Aaron still loves his dad and wouldn't want him dead. He only abuse Aaron for misbehaving and he chose the worst possible way to discipline his own son
+garluns I doubt Aaron still loves his dad. Aaron is too loyal for his own good. But not to such extremes in this case. At least not now that he is a grown up. I don´t know about when he was a child after the abuse, he could have loved his dad still back then.
+sanyrub I still remember a couple of people who post comments on this channel who said, fairly recently, that a person who gets abused deserves to get abused because that person is allowing it to happen. Now those two people are acting as if they never said it, but I sense they still feel the same way.
1joehigg Yaaaasssss to your comment!! LOL I know mate. I know. They were more than a couple though, but the others disappeared or were banned or something. It´s a little bit surprising seeing them so outraged by abuse NOW.
+1joehigg Do you remember the one who procclaimed he was straight? I don´t think he´s around now. Strange given the passion he showed while defending some types of abuse from a certain character. I thought he liked the story enough to be here for a while :)
Everyone: killing is bad, Robert.
*enters Gordon*
Everyone: Take him to Wylie's Farm, Rob!
God i love this side of Robert angry, manipulative and hard .....way to go using your talents to protect your bae
Lol
This is exactly what I said last year. I don't want Robert to change with anyone except Aaron. In fact I want him to be the meanest most evil SOB to everyone who deserves it except for Aaron. With Aaron I want him to love and protect him just like he did tonight.
+Bi-Costal Teacher Yes!
+Bi-Costal Teacher SAME!
+Bi-Costal Teacher Exactly just change him enough to be with Aaron but without changing him completely
+Bi-Costal Teacher That´s what I wanted last year. However I can´t get over the fact he was this evil to Aaron just some months ago :( He´ll have to do sooooo much more work to win me back I guess :)

I'm not forgiving Robert for anything. I'm just logically trying to understand his reasoning for the things he does...but at the end of the day, as long as he is good, kind, loving and totally protective of Aaron he can wreck havoc from one end of ED to the other! ...At least it won't be dull and boring like that "tired ass" (as my sis calls it) Eastenders that every pensioner watches and votes for in awards... :D
The one time when Robert's psycho side is his best side
+Henry .LT LOL! Of course, in real life, psychopathy isn't just a side. It's a pervasive personality defect. It's brilliant, though, and hilarious that in referring to his "psycho side," you call him Robot.
@Henry .LT yuh
Robert getting in Gordon's face - oh God ! that was amazing, I expected nothing less. Whenever Ryan plays angry - fan me down ! Danny and Ryan own ED
Danny Miller shined last night, and Ryan Hawley took center stage tonight. Damn!!! The way Robert has been nothing but caring, supportive, and protective with Aaron over this situation is absolutely incredible. Emmerdale is giving me more than I could have asked for from these two actors/characters. Once you've gotten on Robert's list, it's time to leave. As much as I don't wanna see him leave without the pain he deserves, I can't stand to look at Gordon. Robert getting into protective mode as soon as everyone walked away was beyond amazing. I can not wait to see what is to come for this story.
I was actually shaking during Robert & Sicko scenes. I would cheer Robert on as he killed that pervert.
Same.
I would pass him what he needed give him a alibi and dump the body. I would be like his personal assistant.
+Letreana15 Agreed.
+Aaron Fan How much of Robert's traits & history does Gordon know? Is he in a position to appreciate that having Robert as an enemy could be extremely serious?
+Aaron Fan I'm glad someone agrees!!!

Perfect casting for the role.

Interesting thought about Robert's time away from the village. Never really crossed my mind. Maybe the writers will explore that at some point.
"Aaron's my boyfriend"
Ryan Hawley is amazing! He plays Robert so well!!!
+Mia Geach Yes! Yes! Yes! Ryan Hawley is definitely amazing playing Robert. He nailed it.When I hate him when he was evil,I hate him so much.But when he is being such an angel like this,I cant help myself loving him so much :)
I love Robert being protective of Aaron, and the look of disgust and anger on his face when Gordon was talking to chas and said "what's he gunna do, tell Aaron we're sharing a bed"
Loved it, love u RobRon
I just had to watch it again so I could get the full effect of seeing Robert in his glory. Thanks for the upload each time. The writers are at the top of their skill right now. I can't wait to see how this is all going to go.
and this ladies and gentlemen is why I love Robert Sugden :)
hours passed by and I re, re, re and rewatch the last episodes. the acting is so fantastic. love it
3:59 Robert to Gordon: "You might be better off if that cancer comes back and finishes you off before someone else gets the chance to."
I've watched this a dozen times. This is the first time I've ever been totally with Robert! Powerful writing, perfect delivery. At the end Gordon looks scared.

I can´t wait for that. And yay at Robert finally being usefull being mean with somone who deserves it :)
+alwaysuseless Glad you finally got on the Robert train , if only for a second :)
kevinbaileydbfl Lol, love your sense of humor! I've been so persistent with the message that Robert's a psychopath that surely my ride on the Robert train will be over in the blink of an eye. Of course, we both know that this subplot is going to span at least a few episodes, and I expect to be on board for the entire ride. ;-) As sanyrub alludes to, it's great to see Robert's tendency to threaten people put to good use.

Maybe the show is slyly redeeming Robert, and they intend to break Robert out of the psychopathic mold they've had him in for years. Soaps are "more flexible" than real life.
+sanyrub If I were Gordon... I leave as soon as possible.
Angel Ramirez Pineda I don´t know what he´s doing here to begin with :) I mean, the thought of Cain after me alone... lol
Glad to see what Robert did for Aaron. Do not play with Robert, he can kill that stupid guy easily but I hope that Robert chooses the another way beside Killing.
This is one of those episodes where you know that Robert is dangerous, and in this moment it's a protective dangerous type of monent, the scary thing about Robert is that he will kill Gordon because he hurt Aaron, and no one can stop Robert once your in his crosshairs.
Martin Rey Yes Aaron has some power over Robert, he was savage to Gordon and I don't like when Robert gets the crazy eyes either.
+red baron yes I totally believe he would kill Gordon if Aaron said so.
+red baron Many things can stop Robert though. Not nice people, but people like Charity, Cain and the likes... he´s no match for them :) If Aaron asked right now to kill Gordon I agree Robert would very likely do it. It´s not like he cares that much about certain people dying.

+sanyrub with everything that Robert said, loving Aaron and saying he is his boyfriend, do you feel that Robert is ready to be all in with Aaron?
Omg, Robert! I'm weak in the knees!!
The last speech... WOW! The bad boy is back again... for love :3
First time I loved psycho Robert lol.. And the "Aaron's my boyfriend" killed me
Don't mess with Robert Sugden or his man....he stared down Gordon w/o batting is eye. It is on now!!! The care that Robert is showing Aaron is just soooooooooooo lovely...somebody said their day got better watching I agree1000%
Robert still loves Aaron!!!!!!! Omg I'm so happy
When Robert goes into Aaron's hospital room at the very beginning of this clip you can see Aaron's blood pressure reads 120/80 so that is a good sign. :-)
Gordon's face at 4.24 - if u think robert's put the fear of god into him, wait til Cain finds out!!!
Give Cain just five minutes with that Sicko, better yet give Chas two minutes when she finds out...I'm liking Robert for believing Aaron.
+ladybird ellis Giving Chas 2 minutes for what exactly?To chew Aaron out? Because Gordon sure as hell will defend himself by saying Aaron is mentally ill and intentionally says bad things about him to prevent him buying the pub and be together with Chas. Then,it will be Aaron words against Gordon.And I am pretty sure Chas will take Gordon side.
+Adela Lola You are acting as if Chas would be bad to Aaron if she really knew. That would probably happen, but only at first as a sign of someone who can´t believe what she´s hearing. It happens a lot in families in real life.
+ladybird ellis I agree. The Dingles are the true pay-back bitches LOL except for Aaron, who is too nice of a person. Let´s not even mention Charity either LOL who in some ways can be considered a Dingle too.
+sanyrub Yes I agree it happens in real life;someone who cant believe what they are hearing the first time.Which is why I said 2 minutes given to Chas is just enough for her to chew Aaron out.It probably take days before she can accept the fact.
+ladybird ellis "I'm liking Robert for believing Aaron" I feel the same!
Robert being vicious for the right reasons loved him tonight ........ X x x x he loves Aaron can see it in his eyes....☺☺ x x.
Classic Robert! So glad that after the shooting writers didn't erase his devilish side. First Ross now Gordon. Always level-headed, confident with a deadly precision and Machiavellian tactics. This is top- notch character development.
As much as I like them together, I fear that Rob's love for Aaron will somehow in the distant future be his undoing.
Stop thinking Robert might be a pushover Gordon cause he'll F##king murder you
Holy buckets that was so intense. My heart was pounding in my throat til the end. Gah!
Yaaaaas Robert. DRAG 👏🏼 HIM 👏🏼 TO 👏🏼 HELL 👏🏼
I needed more Aaron
loved it when Robert said...someone has to watch out for Aaron-protect him......and he was looking right at Chaz....but she now knows Aaron/Robert are together and She can do nothing about it.......and now Gordon knows Robert knows .......the writers are doing an amazing job....and the acting as usual is "first class".....last episodes were Aaron's and now Robert's........also interesting in hospital when Robert admitted that Aaron was his boyfriend.....so now admitting fact not only to himself publically but also to others.......he has come a long way......the writers have shown his growth as a human being with true feelings in an amazing way......
+tom swift To be honest Robert never was that afraid of coming out or anything. You could see from the start he was a very confident adult doing what he wanted and having no problem with gay people interacting with Finn Aaron and whoever. It was more about his love for money and power. I don´t think it is that big of a change or journey for the character. Robert never was a homophobic and closeted bisexual person. He had chosen to live his straight life more openly cause it benefited him more. We have not seen him suffering for admitting he likes men or anything. What has really changed is that he finally seems decided to be nice to the person who he wants to be his lover, which is a big difference. It´s more about being a decent person now, compared to the bastard he´s been for years. But as character development, I don´t see how that much change has happened regarding feelings and sexuality. And about his ways... I´m sure he´ll show them again eventually. It´s who the character is and has always been.
+sanyrub I disagree. Think that Aaron called it right when he said Rob has been hiding deep in the closet. It's not just the issue of money, status and complacency. Something happened, all those years when he was absent from ED, that made Robert defiantly negate his sexuality. Maybe in the future writers will expose his past.
+Biljana Ć. But has Robert ever expressed any self-hatred over his attraction to men? From what I've seen, Robert was in the closet only because he wanted the advantages of being assumed to be straight.
+alwaysuseless Don't think it is that straightforward. Robert is enormously complex in any other way, I'm assuming the issue of his sexuality will be addressed in future. When he and Aaron start playing a proper couple skeletons from the past will resurface.
Biljana Ć. They have a lot of possibilities for the future, many options to "invent" stories from his past. They just did it with Aaron. And normally they are smart enough to leave open possibilities with all the characters. So if he stays in the show enough time, they will address his years away from ED eventually.
Ryan Hawley plays Robert to perfection loved how he shot Gordon down in flames tonight but did Gordon really think that coming back to Emmerdale trying to get back in with Chas and what! Aaron would be happy about this after the way he abused him??? Hope Gordon backs off and Aaron reports him to the police. Who will buy the Pub then hope its not Chrissie they are the only ones with money.
I know, why not just stay away and he'd have gotten away with it?!
+nuttynetty I had to look it up, but unlike in the US there is no statute of limitations on a crime like this in England. I didn't know this.
+nuttynetty I actually think it's an accurate portrayal of abusers. They are often so arrogant that they think they can win their victims round even after being raped.

ugh now have to wait till Monday for more
How did Robert look like he was in his middle twenties standing next to Gordon. Like I'm shocked
I knew Robert would come to the rescue. Pops better watch his step. Robert don't play
also WE have to end this now ...how can somebody that sick look so "d" good and handsome!!!
LOL I had forgotten how much I liked Robert and Chas´ scenes together (when... you know, he tried to kill her and all that months ago). The two characters are very entertaining together, the way Chas reacts and looks at him and all LOL Love it! One of the things I´m looking forward now that they´ve decided to reunite R and A. What a great cast in Emmerdale. Best soap!
this whole week has just been eye candy hasn't it lolz
At the last scene with Gordon, Robert is so hot
"If you ask me"
"Didn't"
LOL Chas
Oh crap Ropert's on it hahaha yes, make him feel sorry
Oh yessss fight mode! You go, Robert!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay Robert!
I have do admit I am looking forward to Robert to get his battle mode back on!
Finally, a reason to like Robert!
It amazes me how clueless and self involved Chas is, I am not saying that she should figure out Gordon molested him but it has been so clear for a while now that something is wrong with Aaron and he has been trying to talk to her several times and she's always busy???? She knows that Aaron is unstable and has a history of self harming yet she just brushes Aaron's behavior off as no big deal, she really is incapable of learning from mistakes, have you noticed that she is always the last one to realize that something is wrong regarding Aaron, Adam can see it, Paddy, Robert, Cain but not his own mother.
I hope Robert doesn't kill Gordon, I wouldn't want him to throw his life away for that piece of trash, there are other ways, however I am not sure abt British law, the sexual abuse might be difficult to prove after all this time, I am not sure if Aaron's word would be enough legally and is there a statute of limitation?
We know that Robert wants to buy the Pub to be near Aaron, what if he does buy the Pub from Diane and Aaron buy's Chas out cause she doesn't want to work with Robert, then they can run it and live there together:).
+Merima Tropoja Chaz is a clueless idiot. She want to dictate to Aaron who he sees and she is always complaining that she is always the last to know things that pertain to her son. As far as I am concerned that is her own damn fault because she never notices the warning signs that Aaron sends out when he is about to be pushed over the edge. I find it funny that most if not everytime that Gordon knows that Chaz has plans with Aaron, he(Gordon) always makes an alternative plan to get her away from Aaron so she spends as little time with him as possible...
+Merima Tropoja I have been saying this off and on for a long time. Chas fancies herself as the concerned mom, but she's always so self-focused and never thinks psychologically; i.e., she never looks at anything from anyone else's p.o.v. Consequently, her concern never benefits Aaron.
alwaysuseless So DAMN true...
There is no limit on prosecuting a crime like this in the UK but there probably be very little evidence so it would be difficult to take to trial.
With Chaz, yes she's clueless and really self-focussed but it's not like she doesn't have any excuses. Her past (recent and long-term) is pretty traumatic too. It's more than frustrating that she never sees Aaron's pain and warning signs until it's too late but I still sympathise with her.
+littleun I agree.
I agree it is refreshing to see Robert show he is caring of someone. I wish though that a tiny shred of Aaron's secret or at least some sort of doubt about Gordon was planted in Chas's head. Her running so blindly for Gordon and not seeming to take Aaron's insistence he is bad with more merit does gnaw some as I watch their scenes.
Robert using his powers for good is awesome. it isn't self serving either. ya he doesn't want Aaron to leave because he loves him and also Aaron leaving isn't the best thing for Aaron, he needs his family. It's funny how Chas brother Cain can go around being the village thug and he is ok and excepted. Chaz is the only one that can't leave Robert alone. If you are a naughty person Emmerdale is 5he village to live in.
If Gordon only knew half of what Robert did in the last year. He would run out the door like scared rabbit.
At 2:09 ark Chas is looking at Robert, she knows he is up to something.
Good boy Robert! Now keep it up, please? I really wanna see you with Aaron, but not if you're going to be a mess like before. And I love how he's also kinda looking out for Chas too, asking Aaron to answer her to ressure her and to tell her to protect her from Gordon.
After knowing what really happened to Aaron it's perfectly clear to see why his been acting so angry these past few years and how hard it was for him to come out when he was standing right in front of the judge and had to explain why he hit Jackson. Now I realize how hard it was for Aaron to admit that he was gay. Before when he told Ronert that he felt dirty was the same way he felt when he was with Jackson and whenever anyone would see them both kissing. In a way that was when Aaron started to accept himself and let him be loved. That dirty feeling had disappeared. In a way I feel that Gordon really blamed Aaron for most of what happened in his life, when Chaz left or when Sarah was there and he had to ask his son to leave. Gordon really never took the time to know what a wonderful and kind son, Aaron turned out to be but rather he blamed him for everything that happened. I feel pity for him that even though he could've worked on finding some help for himself but rather ended up raping Aaron. Ronert clearly knows how Aaron tends to bottle up his feelings and never deals were the anything but I just hope that this time he finds a way to deal with this!
+Ken Lal Yes. Now THAT´s a real journey and character development over the years. Aaron´s journey has been so huge and moving from teh start. Including what he has shared with Jackson, Paddy, Chas, Adam and a few others.
I am sorry I can't every time I watch the scene where Robert is threatening Gordon I die
Love _love_ LOVE Robert again!!
wow. suddenly everything that happened between robron does not matter. our beloved vicious robert is back and that too just for aaron. let's hope chas or aaron does not misunderstand his intentions.
I am so loving his viciously protective side. I have always loved his defiant side, his habit of never giving up till the end and his relentless efforts to turn things in his favor no matter how much they are against him.
+john - Yes we all want blood and for the first time we WILL be cheering Robert on...
I love that his motivation is don't let Aaron making everyone of us love him because we don't want Aaron to go.
think we need to learn more about what happened to Robert while he was in London....then be able to determine his "proper character"........also think Chaz is a little jealous of Robert due to his closeness to Aaron.....
I just need an Aaron and a Robert in my life please... Just like can someone please make that happen?
for a moment I did wonder what our hero was up to there until the end when he got hi ultimatum in Go Robert go.
Did wonder though how Aaron got to hospital inthat state in the time it took Robert to go and check the water was hot lol.
This is Robert at his best and most dangerous and for once it's for the right reason.
Robert and Cain, if they were ever of a mind to, would be a frighteningly delicious duo.
You have been warned, Gordon! But I know that you won't listen and I'm glad because you deserve everything that's coming to you. This is honestly the first time I've ever rooted FOR cancer.
And I can't wait for Chas to feel like crap when she finds out because she deserves that as well for being such a horribly selfish parent.
Love how Rob looks surprised/free when he calls aaron his boyfriend for the first time.
I want Aaron and Robert back together
Robert in protectingmode❤️❤️❤️
The look on Roberts face wen confronting Gordon. He's disgusted and mad at how this lowlife treated aaron
Yes Robert!!!!
I love this storyline Aaron and Robert both acted brilliantly in this,but I also think if Chas was in her right frame of mind she might have picked up something was wrong with Aaron and his dad, because of all the trauma she went through she can't see it,let's be honest she thinks being back with him is the best thing to happen to her so she won't want to see it, I'm not a Chas fan I don't like her but nor do I dislike her, but she is going to feel so guilty when it all comes out after she left him with his dad I can't help but feel pain for her a little,I would also like to say that people go on about Robert what he's done etc but he's not the only one in emmerdale that has done wrong things he would never do what Gordon did, lets hope Chas doesn't tell Gordon what happened to Katie, also Gordon might get revenge on Aaron for telling by retracting his statement that he was his alibi the night of the robbery but then again I'm pretty sure Cain and Robert would find ways to sort it out
Yes, he said it!
When's the new Ep coming out
hmm after today's episode does anyone think it might not of been gordon who done if? perhaps someone gordon knew or his partner
I find it so comedic that Aaron’s like shit he found me
Robert was right Aaron needs someone on his side since his mother's not and his dad's definitely not so Robert the ex boyfriend is the one I love How Robert got in Gordon's face and told him he knew that Gordon sexually abused Aaron multiple times through out his child hood and threatened him to leave town immediately and Gordon actually looked scared when Robert told him he better hope the cancer came back and finished him off before anyone else has a chance too
Will this story line continue this week? Didn't see anything related in spoilers...
Glad to see what Robert did Aaron. Do not play with Robert, he can kill that stupid guy easily but l hope that Robert chooses the another way beside killing.
FUCK YEAH! GO ROBERT!
Will Aaron & Robert get back together?
I mean.... I hate Gordon and I hate what Aaron's going through and went through... But DAMN!!!!!!!!! Can I have someone like Robert on my side when someone hurts me?
+kristeen boney The risk is THAT someone could also turn against you and hurt you. It´s definitely not too safe.
Awwww he is your bf 🥰
Where is that profile... +Alwaysblabla...? I love his comments.
+Angel Ramirez Pineda @Alwaysuseless? I love his comments too.
+Angel Ramirez Pineda @sanyrub Thanks guys.
+alwaysuseless thanks to you... usually, I'm lost in the context and your comments make me an idea. That makes more easy this kind of addiction... first I watch the program, after I see this extracts of Robron's relationship.
Angel Ramirez Pineda So you watch the full episodes you mean?
+sanyrub hahaha... yes. It's part of a program to learn English... But, now, I'm very interested for this story line...
I never understood why Aaron said and know one will listen to me....... Is that because he meant no one could see him for years the signs that something was wrong but no one saw it ........ I never understood what he meant any ideas about that let me know still confused....
yhh robert sico side is back DECK HIM ROBERT
Can someone write what Robert said to the dad I cannot make it out. Please!
Thank You!
Adam Corona you're welcome :)
+Adam Corona If you want the exact words, look for my comment posted about 3 hours after your query. (Call me a stickler, but everyone else either paraphrases or misquotes it.) ㋡
Am I the only one that thinks that they miscast the actor playing Gordon? He looks more like he could be Robert's father than he would Aaron's. I also wonder if they told him what his particular story line would entail when he was hired for the part of Gordon. There are some people who can't separate the connection between an actor and his character because they get so invested in a particular show. I wonder how many times the actor playing Gordon has been insulted or spat on by fans of Emmerdale while out and about living his normal life because fans who love Aaron so much can't make that separation.
+David Lightcap Yeah his short stint won´t be very appreciated by those type of people (which is crazy!). I don´t think it is a miscast cause I buy him as Aaron´s father. But it´s true he happens to be way more similar to Robert. physically but also in the way the characters carry themselves, like a little bit to entitled always.
+David Lightcap I kind of think it's a miscast too. Not only I agree he looks far more like Robert's father than Aaron's (which is really disturbing regarding the current storyline), but also I can't say I'm impressed by his acting skills so far.
Don't tell me Robert gonna plan to kill gorden.
l hope not. It will be another reason for Robert and Aaron not to be together. I would like to have my boys enjoy being together for awhile. Maybe some courtroom drama or such, but please don't bring a 3rd man in too soon. Too much bed hopping going on as of late. Paddy? Come on now.
Either this Gordon guy is a very bad actor have no face expression or he is a very good lair who have no react even if the truth smash into his face I really couldn't tell
2:29 Ooh, night ???? once I've locked up?
Ooh, night "cap" once I've locked up?
night cap- drink before bedtime
HUNG DRAW AND QUARTER THESE MONSTERS .... NOT AN ILLNESS LIKE DEMONIC DEMON RAN ITV WOULD WANT YOU TO BE LEAVE.................
They stay in that damn hospital
If he where innocent he would have KO Robert
Big Robron fan here, but did anyone else think Aarons dad looked cluess to the accusation? And no i don't think aaron is lying I'm just saying.
he was putting the clueless on obviously , so Robert would perhaps doubt Aaron , but of course Robert is going to believe aaron over him
It is true how this was a shining moment for Robert however remember he promised Aaron he would not say anything and now he has broken that promise. Aaron is pretty black and white when it comes to his trust. He does not see any gray areas. This could come back to bite Robert on the bum in more way then one
+Jeffrey Doughman Yes you are right about this Robert was so angry when he was in the pub listening to them all celebrating he just had to say something. God i hope this doesn't cause yet another row between Aaron & Robert after the last week when they were at least talking again & Robert was trying so hard.
+Jeffrey Doughman Gordon already knew of the violence . The promise is not broken.
Take a shower and get changed please. Glad Robert's taking care of Aaron but he should take care of himself too. Also, Robert has been more confrontational recently with Ross and Gordon. Robert before was not a brave one; his evil method was more cunning than direct confrontation.
+leibniz It´s true he has always been a little bit coward when it comes to physical confrontation. He only used to be brave enough in direct confrontation with Katie lol
+sanyrub Because Katie is a woman? No, it's not what I meant.
leibniz Well, that´s how it was. He didn´t use to confront people like you said and I agree. But it´s true he did it with Katie though. Take from that what you want.
+sanyrub Robert threatened Paddy not only to hurt him but also the people Paddy cares about, and subsequently he almost killed him in the grain elevator.
alwaysuseless Well yes. But Paddy is not a man who likes direct confrontation either.
I don't like Gordon's beady eyes, creepy...
Great scene, I guess Aaron still loves his dad and wouldn't want him dead. He only abuse Aaron for misbehaving and he chose the worst possible way to discipline his own son
+garluns I doubt Aaron still loves his dad. Aaron is too loyal for his own good. But not to such extremes in this case. At least not now that he is a grown up. I don´t know about when he was a child after the abuse, he could have loved his dad still back then.
+sanyrub I still remember a couple of people who post comments on this channel who said, fairly recently, that a person who gets abused deserves to get abused because that person is allowing it to happen. Now those two people are acting as if they never said it, but I sense they still feel the same way.
1joehigg Yaaaasssss to your comment!! LOL I know mate. I know. They were more than a couple though, but the others disappeared or were banned or something. It´s a little bit surprising seeing them so outraged by abuse NOW.
Yes, but we know what's in their dirty little hearts and who they all are. Lol
+1joehigg Do you remember the one who procclaimed he was straight? I don´t think he´s around now. Strange given the passion he showed while defending some types of abuse from a certain character. I thought he liked the story enough to be here for a while :)
