3 days ago - Entertainment
Emmerdale is bringing back a major character for a shock return, and they've already filmed their comeback scenes. The ITV soap has gone to extreme lengths to keep the identity of the actor and character involved a secret. Robert Sugden is heading back to Emmerdale, and fans haven't seen him for over six years.
The fan favourite will be back on the show as Aaron's storyline heats up. Aaron is unaware he is marrying a serial killer, John Sugden, who has developed a hero complex. John desires to be seen as a knight in shining armour and has put plenty of villagers in harm's way to then rescue them and be praised for his actions. He's also happily covered up the murder of Anthony Fox as well as killing Nate Robinson and dumping his body a secret still yet to be exposed.
The Return of Robert Sugden
Actor Ryan Hawley will be back on screens next month for a limited stint, six years after quitting the show. The star played Robert Sugden between 2014 and 2019 in the ITV soap and agreed to return as a one off treat for fans as ex husband Aaron Dingle prepares to marry his killer brother John Sugden. A source revealed that Ryan has a lot of respect for the show and its fans and really wanted to give them a treat, so he agreed to come back for a brief stint.
Keeping the Secret
It's going to be a huge surprise for fans, especially the Robron fans who have missed Robert desperately since Ryan quit. Nothing was seen as being too extreme to keep the secret, with fake names on scripts, smuggling him in and out of the studios, and keeping everything very tight. Emmerdale had no comment when contacted.
Robert's Past
Robert hit Lee with a shovel, and he fell, hitting his head on a rock. Robert pleaded guilty to the crime and was sentenced to 14 years in prison for murder. However, it later emerged that Lee's death could have been caused by a brutal fight he had with his brother Luke on the day of his death, leaving the door open for a potential release for Robert. Robert is believed to still be locked up inside and has had no contact with his family or friends since being jailed after cutting them off.
Fans' Reactions
Following the news of Robert's upcoming stint, several Emmerdale fans have taken to social media to share their theory that he could face a brutal death at the hands of John. One fan speculated that Rob may die at the hands of John, especially as his return is for a limited time. Another chimed in that if John gets mad and attacks Aaron, Robert will return in shining armour and save the day or die trying.
The Future of the Storyline
With a wedding to Aaron on the cards, will John's secrets be revealed just in time? And will Robert's return play a huge part in the uncovering of who John Sugden really is? The storyline is expected to be a dramatic one, with fans eagerly anticipating the revelation of John's true nature and Robert's involvement in it.
