There’s “emotional” and special episodes set to air next week on Emmerdale, one star has revealed.

Robert Sugden actor Ryan Hawley has teased tear-jerking episodes after a recent “devastating” twist. Robert gets a visit from his ex Aaron Dingle next week in prison, and soon “a lot” is revealed.

It seems things we don’t yet know could come to light about Robert’s six years away from the village, and his true feelings for ex Aaron who has just married Robert’s brother John Sugden. We see John and Robert’s feud heat up too, as the men feature in tense scenes.

But a lot of the episode will focus on Aaron and Robert amid hopes from fans of a Robron reunion. Actor Ryan has revealed all on the moving scenes ahead, as he teased viewers would be told new details about what has gone on.

He explained: “It is emotional scenes. They’re big scenes, and it’s things they haven’t had a chance to say to each other for six years. A lot is to be revealed in these episodes.”

When Aaron initially declines to visit Robert who’s back in prison for breaking his probation rules, he’s left stunned when his ex-husband does eventually show up. Ryan spilled: “Aaron comes to visit Robert much to his surprise and delight.

“It is kind of special in that there’s only three or four cast members, it’s just Robert, Aaron and John, maybe Victoria as well. There’s really big scenes, lovely scenes. it’s a nice journey throughout. I was really pleased with the writing.”

Soon enough Robert makes his return to the village, for the first time since his exit in 2019. He adds: “Robert returns to the village and rejoices in telling John and Aaron that he’s back.”

Ryan shared how much he’s loved being back on the soap for so long, reuniting with his former cast members after the big twist tat aired recently. He shared: “It’s been lovely. I have had so much fun, I had forgotten how much fun it could be and how funny people are, and how much of a lift it can give you when you’ve got a full fay of scenes.”

Ryan also discussed the “devastating” moment where Aaron refused to end things with John, rejecting Robert. He shared: “He’s devastated that he hasn’t been able to change the course of action.

“He turned up thinking everything would go his way and Aaron would jump at the chance to be with him again, and he was there to save the day. It’s not gone that way and he’s gutted.

“He’s come back to the village and has been so publicly humiliated in front of everyone.” On whether Robert will try again to win back Aaron, he said: “At this moment I am not sure. He resigned himself to the fact that Aaron’s chosen John. The events of that week bring him back to the village.”
