  • Robert Sugden: Relationship with Aaron, why he’s in prison and whether he will ever return

    Robert Sugden: Relationship with Aaron, why he’s in prison and whether he will ever return

    Robert Sugden in Emmerdale is one of the soap’s ‘legacy’ characters. Born on-screen to one of the show’s most iconic families, he was at the heart of all sorts of drama during his years on Emmerdale.

    Here’s the lowdown on what he’s been doing and where he is now.

    Robert Sugden in Emmerdale: The early years

    Robert’s dad was Jack Sugden and his mum was Jack’s first wife, Pat. He has an older brother, Jackie Merrick, as well as two half siblings, sister Sandie and brother Tommy.

    Robert’s mum was killed in a car accident when he was only four months old. When Jack remarried – to Sarah – she brought him up as her own, along with new baby Victoria and eventually adopted brother, Andy.

    Sarah Sugden’s death

    Sarah Sugden died in a barn fire set by Andy who thought he was helping the family finances – he thought they could claim on the insurance. When Robert found out Andy was responsible for his mum’s death, it started a feud between the brothers.

    Andy, Katie and Robert love triangle in Emmerdale

    Andy and his childhood sweetheart Katie Addyman were happy – or so Andy thought – but she started an affair with Robert! When Andy found out he was devastated. Katie and Robert got engaged but he cheated with Sadie King and that was the end of their engagement!

    With Robert’s feud with Andy at boiling point, the pair embarked on a lethal game of chicken. Except Max King had asked Andy for a lift and was in his Land Rover as he took on Robert. Andy crashed into a wall and though he escaped, Max was killed when the car blew up.

    Wanting to avoid prison, Robert legged it and only returned to watch his dad Jack’s funeral from a distance.

    Robert returns to Emmerdale

    Nine years after Max’s death, Robert returned to Emmerdale engaged to Chrissie White. By this time, Andy and Katie had rekindled their romance and were planning a wedding but Robert immediately began meddling.

    He had offensive messages engraved on the pair’s wedding rings, leaving the newlyweds fuming!

    Killing Katie!

    Desperate for revenge, Katie was convinced that Robert was cheating on Chrissie. She threw herself into finding out who he was having an affair with and was shocked to discover it was Aaron Dingle.

    Robert and Katie had a furious argument ending with him shoving her and sending her plummeting through some rotten floorboards. Aaron and Robert covered it up and let Andy find his new wife, and assume it was a tragic accident.

    When Paddy found out the truth, Robert tried to kill him in a grain silo.

    Who shot Robert in Emmerdale?

    Andy was devastated and furious and wanted to get rid of Robert for good. He made a Strangers on a Train style deal with Ross Barton, each agreeing to kill the other’s brother.

    When Robert was shot, there were a whole list of suspects, but Ross wasn’t among them! When Robert found out Andy had been involved there was another game of chicken (do they never learn?!). Andy crashed his car, but this time Robert pulled him from the wreckage and they called a truce.

    Robert and Aaron eventually tied the knot

    Robron

    Robert and Aaron’s romance was one of fans’ favourite Emmerdale storylines of all time. During the drama of the Hotton by-pass crash, the pair got engaged and planned a huge wedding!

    But of course nothing is that easy in Emmerdale! Aaron went back to prison for a bit, he had a brief drug addiction, and then Robert slept with his sister-in-law Rebecca White – mum to Seb who’s being mentioned on screen a lot at the moment. But finally Robron made it down the aisle!

    However, their happiness – and fans’ pleasure at their union – wasn’t too last…

    Emmerdale: Why is Robert in prison?

    During a night out in Hotton, which was filled with drama, Victoria met a man called Lee Posner. He didn’t take no for an answer and raped her in her own house after the night out. Victoria was devastated and locked herself away for a while before she eventually told her shocked family the truth about the rape – and the fact that she was pregnant.

    Lee got away with his crime, until Robert took his own revenge. He whacked Lee with a shovel and he died. Robert was sent to jail. He set Aaron free and has subsequently refused to see Victoria. We now also know he has signed his rights away to son Seb following Rebecca’s death.

    Later we discovered that it was possibly Lee’s brother, Luke, who’d been responsible for killing him. But Robert remains behind bars.

    Horses for courses

    Sadie and Matthew go to see the Sinclairs to discuss a settlement, certain they won’t be ready to go down without a fight. But Rosemary is very cool, and even invites them to share a special French meal, prepared by their chef.

    After the meal, Rosemary hands over the documents. But while Sadie smugly reads the details, Rosemary’s got something to say.

    She announces that though the business was worth a million on Friday, it’s now worth nothing. Then she adds that the delicious French meal they just enjoyed was made from Sadie’s beloved horse, Cossack.

    Horrified, Sadie leaves. While Matthew tells her he’s going to take more of a role in their business affairs from now on.

  • Emmerdale review of the week: Ross is back! Rebecca’s dead! And Nicola’s on the warpath!

    Emmerdale review of the week: Ross is back! Rebecca’s dead! And Nicola’s on the warpath!

    This week’s Emmerdale review is full of disbelief! Because we’ve had some very bad news about Rebecca and we’re really sad about it. But there have been some moments that made us laugh, too.

    Here’s what’s got us sobbing and chuckling in this week’s Emmerdale review.

    Ross Barton is back!

    We were delighted to hear Ross was coming back! He’s got so much history with people in the village, and we were with him every step of the way when he was coming to terms with the injuries from his acid attack.

    Billy and Ross face off with Jade in between

    But we didn’t like his arrival

    But as much as we love Ross, we really dislike this whole bare-knuckle fighting storyline. Billy may be the most boring man in the village, and he’s not made more interesting by punching other men in the face.

    Plus the whole set-up barely makes sense – if it was so important for Billy to lose the fight, why not just tell him that? It’s hardly an honest game anyway, so the whole thing being a set-up wouldn’t be a surprise, surely?

    Anyway, that aside, the reveal that Ross was Billy’s opponent didn’t thrill us.

    BUT despite his yawnworthy arrival, and the knowledge that there is more boxing boredom to come, we are loving Ross being back in the village.

    Ross putting Mack in his place in our Emmerdale review

    Of course one of the best things about Ross is him putting Mack firmly into his place. We especially enjoyed him calling Mack a “soft turnip” which is exactly what we’re going to call him from now on.

    Ross and Rebecca get together

    But there’s bad news too, in our Emmerdale review

    We loved Rebecca White. Her total disregard for morals, her funny comments, and her redemption storyline after her brain injury all made her one of our fave characters. And we really loved her and Ross bonding over their life-changing injuries (not to mention their love of Real Hairdressers of Harrogate).

    So we were devastated to discover that she and Ross had broken up – only to get the news seconds later that Rebecca is dead! WHAT? It’s such sad news, and yet another young woman killed off in soap, albeit off-screen.

    Bring back Adam!

    We were thrilled to hear Moira’s gone to visit her son Adam. And we are hoping she brings him back with her. Yes, we’ve been hoping that since he left in 2018, but honestly, we’re never giving this up. Never.

    Nicola's furious with Tom
    Yay, Nicola! (Credit: ITV)

    Don’t get on Nicola’s bad side

    We are LOVING Nicola’s one-woman campaign against Tom. She’s totally got the measure of him (finally) and she is not giving in. We were so pleased that she took little Carl down to the police station partly because it was the right thing to do, and partly because it proved to her son that she had his back – especially when muppet dad Jimmy clearly doesn’t.

    Plus we’re still loving DS Foy. More of him, please!

  • Dr Adam Forsythe: From pillar of the community to cold-hearted killer

    Dr Adam Forsythe: From pillar of the community to cold-hearted killer

    Dr Adam Forsythe arrived in Emmerdale as the love interest of troubled Steph Stokes.

    At first he seemed to be her knight in shining armour, but things soon took a dark turn as he was hiding a very dark secret. Here’s the lowdown.

    Arriving in Emmerdale

    Dr Adam came to the village as the new GP and was thrown right in at the deep end when teenager Debbie Dingle went into labour and he had to deliver her baby!

    He quickly won over the local pensioners with his charm, and also attracted the attention of Steph Stokes, who managed the B&B.

    Steph and Adam hit it off and started a relationship.

    Terence Turner blackmails Adam in Emmerdale

    Steph opened up to Adam and told him that her brother Terence had sexually abused her when they were teenagers. Adam was horrified and supported Steph when she told her dad, Alan, what had happened.

    But Alan didn’t believe Steph, and took Terence’s side.

    Then Terence turned his attention to Adam, and went digging into his past. He discovered Adam had been struck off and was no longer legally allowed to be a doctor! He then started blackmailing Adam.

    Terence’s campaign against Steph and Adam came to an end when Adam found him attacking Steph! There was a struggle that only ended when Adam whacked Terence with a fire extinguisher and pushed him down the stairs, killing him.

    Terence died, and Adam and Steph buried him in the woods!

    Paranoia!

    Poor Steph struggled with what they – well, Adam, really – had done. Adam was so worried he whisked her off to Barbados, and they tied the knot.

    But Steph’s paranoia just increased and worried that she was about to fess up, Adam started drugging her.

    When Steph finally admitted what they’d done to her stunned dad, Alan Turner, Adam let her guide him to the woods. But when they got there, the body had gone!

    Adam had sneakily moved Terence’s corpse. Eventually he was found when the King’s River showhome exploded.

    Adam exposed in Emmerdale

    Adam tried to kill poor Steph and fled, but he was later arrested.

    On the stand, he told the court that Steph had killed Shelley Williams. Steph, knowing that was true and that she’d got away with it, instead confessed to murdering Terence and was sentenced to life imprisonment.

    But she implicated Adam and he was also sent to prison. But just a few days later, he took his own life in his cell.

    Who played Dr Adam Forsythe?

    Adam was played by Richard Shelton. Since his stint on Emmerdale he’s written and starred in several Frank Sinatra tribute shows, and won awards for his skills!

  • Rebecca White in Emmerdale: Kidnap ordeal, romance with Ross Barton, and tragic death

    Rebecca White in Emmerdale: Kidnap ordeal, romance with Ross Barton, and tragic death

    Rebecca White arrived in Emmerdale in 2016 to catch up with her sister Chrissie, nephew Lachlan and dad Lawrence.

    But she most definitely stayed for the drama! Which, to be fair, was mostly caused by Rebecca herself.

    And now we’ve found out – via a newly returned Ross Barton – that Rebecca has tragically died.

    Here’s the lowdown on everything that happened during her time in the Dales.

    Rebecca White arrives in Emmerdale

    Always a fan of making an entrance, Rebecca arrived in Emmerdale unannounced and in a helicopter and promptly slapped Chrissie’s ex-husband Robert Sugden round the face.

    But it was all a big act! Because Rebecca and Robert were in cahoots, aiming to find out if Rebecca was Lawrence’s biological child.

    Secret romance

    With that mischief done and dusted, Rebecca made a move on Robert – who was involved with Aaron Dingle by then – and he responded.

    Rebecca and Robert’s affair was revealed by twisted nephew Lachlan in the pub on Rebecca’s 30th birthday. But Rebecca knew that Lachlan was the one who’d shot Lawrence and framed Andy Sugden for the crime and she was soon manipulating Lachlan into admitting it.

    With Lachlan behind bars and Chrissie furious about it, the sisters’ feud intensified.

    Who’s the daddy?

    But Rebecca was busy elsewhere, having a fling with Ross Barton and Robert Sugden. When she found out she was pregnant, she wasn’t sure who the dad was.

    With Robert confirmed as her baby daddy, Rebecca tried to build a mature co-parenting relationship with him.

    Totally failed, of course, but she tried.

    Car accident

    When baby Seb arrived, Rebecca and the rest of the Whites decided the only way to keep Robert out of their lives was to leave for Australia.

    So off they went, but Lachlan was annoyed about having to leave so he told Robert, who gave chase.

    Lachlan grabbed the wheel and the car hit a lorry head-on, killing both Chrissie and Lawrence, and leaving Rebecca with permanent brain damage.

    Lachlan’s reign of terror

    It was the start of Lachlan’s reign of terror in the village. He went on to kill best mate Gerry, tried to gas Liv and Robert – only to be discovered red-handed by Rebecca.

    He murdered a conman posing as Gerry’s uncle, and for a while viewers thought he had killed Rebecca too!

    But actually he had kidnapped poor Rebecca. He held her hostage in a remote cottage, complete with a creepy nurse in attendance.

    Eventually Rebecca got free, with some help from Belle, and Lachlan went to prison. Phew!

    What happened between Ross and Rebecca White in Emmerdale?

    With Ross Barton recovering from his acid attack, and Rebecca rebuilding her life with her brain injury, the pair began to grow close.

    Eventually, Ross decided to leave Emmerdale and go to live in Liverpool, and Rebecca went too with little Seb.

    And that was the last we’d heard of them – until Ross showed up at Billy’s dodgy bare-knuckle fight this week.

    Classic Emmerdale spoilers: Dawn’s furious about Scott’s betrayal and Andy’s rejected by Katie

    In Classic Emmerdale spoilers for episodes airing on ITV3 on Monday October 28, Dawn’s heartbroken by Scott’s betrayal, Noreen’s hurt, and Katie’s moving on.

    These episodes originally aired on March 12 and 13, 2006.

    Who’s the snitch?

    With Dawn in trouble for benefit fraud, Viv’s convinced it was Kelly who snitched on her. She tells Rodney who’s positive Kelly wouldn’t do such a thing. Kelly tells him that it was Scott.

    When Dawn approaches Kelly later, it’s Rodney who steps in to stop things getting out of hand – and drops Scott right in it!

    Fuming, Dawn tracks Scott down. He tries to deny it but he’s bang to rights and soon the Hope family turn their backs on him. They ask him to move out, and Scott’s broken.

    Dawn Woods (Julia Mallam) Lashes Out at Scott Windsor (Ben Freeman) for Shopping Her for Fraud. Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw) Tries to Hold Her Back as Viv Hope (Deena Payne) Looks on.

    Family reunion?

    Katie’s mum Caroline arrives at the hospital, but their reunion is a little awkward at first. As they begin to bond, though, Caroline tells Katie about her life in Greece and the reality of just how far away it is, begins to sink in.

    The next day, Katie’s reluctance to move away becomes more obvious and it’s best mate Chas who twigs that it’s because she still has feelings for Andy.

    She warns Katie that their relationship didn’t work last time so why would it be any different this time round and urges her to make a new start in Greece.

    Wrong decision in Classic Emmerdale?

    When Andy visits later, he tells Katie she can stay with him while she makes a decision about her future, but Katie – with Chas’s warning in her ears – turns him down.

    Later, though, as Chas chats to Carl about the situation, he comments that you can’t help who you fall in love with, and Chas begins to wonder if she’s given Katie the wrong advice!

    Noreen’s hurt in Classic Emmerdale

    Noreen’s upset about the Hotten Courier’s criticism of her appearance, pointing out that her hair and makeup helps her feel happy – something she didn’t feel until she was 60. She tells Val she’s pulling out of the election, and Val, annoyed by Eric strutting about, announces she’s going to run instead.

    Ashley wants his house back

    Ashley tells Jasmine he’s not sure how much longer Debbie can stay with them, but Jasmine begs for more time.

    DIY SOS!

    Sam wants him and Alice to find a place of their own to rent, but Alice isn’t keen on moving. She wants the family around them to help with baby Samson and her illness.

    When she tells Zak that Sam wants to be more independent, Zak comes up with a solution. He works all day, and converts their bedroom into a self-contained bedsit and Sam is delighted.
