While Aaron was originally prepared to call off the wedding, he had a change of heart and was ready to marry John, until Robert’s surprise return.
The episode ended on a dramatic cliffhanger, with Robert turning to Aaron to ask whether he’s ‘missed him.’
Robert’s return sent di3-hard soap fans into a frenzy, with many rejoicing that he and his ex Aaron could finally be reunited.
The pair’s marriage came to an abrupt end in 2019 when Robert was jailed for m@nslaught3r after attacking his sister Victoria’s rapist Lee Posner.

‘I’m sorry, but to be gone six years and turn up looking this GORGEOUS?! HIS POWER!!!’
‘Robert: Miss me. Everyone: YES;’

Robert’s return sent di3-hard soap fans into a frenzy, with many rejoicing that he and his ex Aaron could finally be reunited
It’s been a long six years but this is what #robron fans have been waiting for… Ryan Hawley returning to #emmerdale as Robert Sugden. We all hope that he returns to the show full time but so happy that he has come back. Let’s hope our favourite couple get a happy ending’
‘It’s been a very loooong six years but we FINALLY HAVE #ROBRON.’
Speaking about his return, Ryan hinted that it may not be Aaron that has led him back to the village.
He told The Mirror: ‘What’s Robert doing there, has he got ulterior motives, does he know something about John?
‘How has he even found out that this wedding was taking place? There’s a lot to unpick and so much to be revealed over the next few nights. It’s a great few episodes and I’m really excited to see them.’
The actor did hint that Aaron will be left with a ‘dilemma’ over who he loves when he’s reunited with his ex.
He added: It’s a massive dilemma for Aaron, who’s found John as a new love in his life and then he’s got Robert, who used to be the love of his life, turn up!
‘He’s got a massive decision to make. I guess all the weight is on Aaron’s shoulders.’ But all might not be as it seems, with it yet to be explained how Robert is out in the village and not still in prison where he’s been for the last six years.’
And while it had originally been reported that Ryan would only be returning for a short stint, in a new interview on Wednesday, he confirmed that Robert will be back in the village permanently.
He told The Mirror: ‘My character is returning permanently and not just for Aaron and John’s wedding. I am back for good, and I am so excited to be playing Robert again.’
