SH0CK: Emmerdale’s Robert Sugden risks losing Aaron Dingle as dark secret ‘exposed’
Tensions rise in Emmerdale as Robert Sugden’s (Ryan Hawley) lies threaten to derail his fresh start with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller), just as the couple move closer together again. In upcoming scenes, Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) grows increasingly frustrated that Robert still hasn’t told Aaron the truth about Kev – and time is running out.
Aaron, keen to put the past behind him, informs Robert that he’s moving back into the Mill flat and asks him to stay for his first night. Robert agrees, but Victoria reminds her brother that he can’t keep avoiding the conversation.
As Aaron expresses his hopes for a new chapter together, Robert is racked with guilt. When Kev calls, Robert covertly cancels the call, aware that his silence is becoming harder to maintain.
With their relationship seemingly back on track, he knows he needs to be honest – but when he hears Kev’s big news, his dilemma deepens.
Elsewhere in the village on Monday 13 October, Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) and Jimmy (Nick Miles) are anxious about Carl’s upcoming police interview. Carl admits to sharing Clemmie’s photo, and although Nicola insists he’s learned his lesson, the authorities are taking the incident seriously.
Clemmie (Mabel Addison) confides in Dawn (Olivia Bromley) about why she sent the image in the first place, leaving Dawn guilt-ridden. A tense confrontation between Dawn and Nicola follows, escalating into an argument.
Moira (Natalie J. Robb), struggling with Cain’s absence, leaves him a sharp voicemail demanding he return home immediately. At the same time, Liam prepares to open his prostate test results with Chas (Lucy Pargeter) by his side. Dylan (Fred Kettle) celebrates passing his driving test, but Ray is quick to remind him of the debt he owes, putting fresh pressure on him to work it off.
On Wednesday 15 October, Cain(Jeff Hordley) returns from France and begins a self-destructive spiral, pushing away Moira and Liam while drinking alone in the garage.
Belle and Sam mark Zak’s anniversary without him, worried about their brother’s behaviour. Over at the Mill, Robert feels the weight of his secret as Kev pushes for a meeting the next day.
By Thursday 16 October, Robert’s lies catch up with him. He tells Aaron he’s visiting his parole officer but instead goes to see Kev. Victoria is unimpressed to learn he’s still avoiding the truth – and when Kev delivers shocking news, Robert is left stunned.
