Coronation Street fans saw the arrival of newcomer Noah Hedley in tonight’s episode – and it doesn’t look like his arrival is good news for Todd or Eileen Grimshaw

More than one Emmerdale cast member has teased a possible reunion for Aaron Dingle and Robert Sugden, but it won’t be smooth sailing.

Fans were thrilled as Ryan Hawley returned to the show after six years last week, reprising his role as Robert. Robert tried to stop his ex Aaron marrying new flame, and Robert’s half-brother, John Sugden.

His return which is permanent has sparked hopes Robron, as they are known by fans, will reconcile. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror at the British Soap Awards 2025, more than one cast member teased there could be a reunion on the cards.

Stars including Lisa Riley, Bradley Johnson, James Hooton, Karen Blick and Amelia Flanagan all revealed their thoughts on the huge twist. Manpreet Sharma actress Rebecca Sarker also told us how “incredible” it was to have Robert back on the show.

Some of the cast made it clear where their stood in terms of being Team John or Team Robert. April Windsor star Amelia confessed she was “hashtag Robron”, while Lydia Dingle actress Karen shared her belief that the pair would find their way back to each other.

Mandy Dingle actress Lisa and Vinny Dingle star Bradley also had their say, with both stars predicting a long road back to reconciliation. Lisa said of the comeback: “It’s incredible, it was amazing. We had seven days and we knew the reaction would be massive.

“But to then see the reaction which was enormous has just been so good, and it’s great for the show. It’s the right time, it’s what the audience wanted. We just kept teasing and teasing them and now they have got Robron. We love it.”

Bradley revealed: “Robron was so big as well it’s that thing of are they or are they not [getting back together], keeping fans on tenterhooks.” With possibly being what keeps them apart, Lisa teased of future drama between the brothers: “That’s the drama, you want that, you gotta keep it all going, mixing the pot.”

When we asked if they were Robron all the way, Lisa said “yes” as Bradley teased: “It’s a long path to that,” with Lisa adding: “As it should be.” Similarly, Karen believed it would be a long road until a potential reunion.

She told us: “It’s brilliant. They are an iconic soap couple. I think there’s every chance [they’ll get back together] but who knows. I don’t think it’s a straight road is it, it’s not gonna be easy.”

Meanwhile James spilled: “It’s an amazing twist. Robert Sugden is an iconic character and Robron, Aaron and Robert, are in the hearts of people. Everyone loves that soap couple so the question is, is there any chance for them to get back together? Aaron’s got married so is there any way they can get back together? It’s soap land.”

April actress Amelia also had her say on the shocking yet exciting twist. She revealed: “He has been under such a private name, Marco, I kept getting scripts through. I was like who is Marco? We didn’t cross paths for a while and then I saw him the week before it aired.

“It’s a very good thing for the fans, they love Robron, hashtag Robron.” Finally, Rebecca told us: “Wasn’t that wonderful? I kept saying who is this guy, who is Marco. I knew Ryan was coming back. I think it’s wonderful. It’s clearly something everyone has been itching for. It is incredible and it shows you the power of the fans and supporters of the show. They are invested, that’s all we need and want, invested, loyal fans.”
