11 best Emmerdale couples – EVER! Robron, Coira and a famous bromance!

Emmerdale have given us some fantastic, and unforgettable couples over the years. From red-hot romances, to toxic marriages, and lifelong friendships, here are our 11 of all time favourite pairings. Let’s see if your favourite has made our list…

Moira and Cain have been married for 10 years (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

Cain and Moira Dingle

With 10 years of marriage under their belt, Cain and Moira have achieved iconic couple status. What started as a lusty affair has developed into a deep love, but it’s frankly a miracle Mr and Mrs D are still together given what the last decade has thrown at them.

Coira have overcome terrible tragedy (the loss of Moira’s daughter Holly to a heroin overdose), affairs (on both sides, including Moira’s icky fling with Cain’s long lost son, Nate), a stint in prison (him), and an alcohol addiction (her).

But despite all this they’ve been able to create a life together and have worked hard raising their blended family.

The couple are now faced with an uncertain future since Moira’s brain tumour diagnosis. We’re keeping everything crossed Moira will make a full recovery, and Cain has vowed to be by her side, no matter what.

Emmerdale just wouldn’t be the same without them together.

Best Emmerdale couples: Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle

Robron definitely win the award for Emmerdale’s most shipped couple. Fans could not get enough of this handsome duo.

Aaron and Robert’s love story started on a country lane back in 2014, where they shared their first kiss. At the time, Aaron was out and proud, but Robert was engaged to heiress Chrissie White and still in the closet.

Their affair quickly turned toxic as Robert refused to leave Chrissie, and ended up killing Katie Sugden to keep his secret safe. Aaron eventually snapped and outed Robert, causing his life to implode.

Even when the couple finally made it official, they were faced with obstacle after obstacle. Robert supported Aaron after he revealed he’d been abused by his father, Gordon. And Aaron forgave Robert for fathering a baby with Rebecca White while he was in prison.

Their wedding in 2018 remains one of the soap’s most memorable occasions. The couple, who looked dapper in their matching suits, wrote their own vows which they exchanged in front of their family, friends and millions of viewers.

But after everything, Aaron and Robert never did get their happy ever after. A year after their nuptials Robert was jailed for murdering his sister Victoria’s rapist, Lee Posner. Instead of expecting Aaron to wait for him, Robert decided to set his husband free and filed for divorce.

Will he come back for Aaron once those 14 years are up? We can only hope!

Cain and Charity go way, way back (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

Cain Dingle and Charity Dingle

Before Moira there was only one woman for Cain – his second cousin, Charity. Partners in crime and in the bedroom, Emmerdale fans know these two share a whole lotta history.

They had their first fling when they were just 14 and 13, which resulted in the birth of the daughter, Debbie. Charity and Cain gave her up for adoption and the trio weren’t reunited until Debbie came to the village years later.

Shortly after Debbie’s return, Charity and Cain got back together. They had an on/off relationship and got engaged in 2009. However, the wedding never happened becauseÂ Charity decided she wasn’t ready for marriage.

Despite their red-hot chemistry, Charity and Cain’s romantic union finally ran its course and they split. Over the years they’ve had the odd cheeky bunk-up. In 2016, Cain nearly wrecked his marriage to Moira by getting jiggy with Charity.

But these two have never been able to resist one another, and we reckon they’ve got another affair in them!

Chas and Paddy have decided they’re better off as friends (Credit: ITV)

Paddy Kirk and Chas Dingle

Chas has always had a thing for bad boys, but changed type when she got together with Paddy.

Unlike her previous toxic exes, including the likes of Carl King and killer Cameron Murray, Paddy was a true gent. He treated Chas with care and respect and made her feel secure.

The unlikely duo really were happy for a while. They supported one another through the devastating loss of their daughter Grace in 2018, and the arrival of little Eve the following year gave them reason to smile again.

In 2020, the couple cemented their union with a gorgeous Christmas Day wedding.

But then along came Al Chapman. Chas ended up breaking Paddy’s heart when she strayed with the sleazy businessman. The discovery of his wife’s betrayal drove Paddy into a deep depression and he contemplated taking his own life.

Chas begged for forgiveness, but there was no going back. Post-divorce, Paddy and Chas are back on friendly terms, but she definitely lost a good guy there.

Frank and Kim Tate

Kim and Frank were the ultimate power couple in the days when they were lord and lady of Home Farm.

Frank had made his fortune in haulage, and everyone (including him) probably knew Kim had only married him for the money. Kim had previously worked as Frank’s secretary, but had managed to seduce her way into his bed.

Their marriage was volatile and littered with betrayals. Frank had a drink habit and violent temper, while Kim had an appetite for younger lovers. Her affairs with gamekeeper Neil Kinkaid and farmhand Dave Glover made for addictive viewing.

In 1996, Kim and Frank welcomed a son, James, although there was a question over the tot’s parentage for a while. Kim had hoped James was her lover Dave’s, but he turned out to be Frank’s.

Just months after James’s arrival, Frank tried to have Kim killed. She responded by faking her own death and framing Frank for the ‘murder’. It wasn’t your average tit-for-tat with these two!

When Kim ‘returned from the dead’, the shock of seeing her again caused Frank to suffer a fatal heart attack. Kim stood by and watched as Frank died on the living room floor at Home Farm. Then as a final insult she used her compact mirror to check whether he was still breathing.

With Frank a goner, Kim finally got her greedy mitts on Home Farm. Well, you can’t say she didn’t play the long game.

Val was the love of Eric’s life (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

Best Emmerdale couples: Eric Pollard and Val Lambert

Womanising Eric had already been married four times when he hooked up with Val Lambert. But in Val, Eric finally met his match – there was never a dull moment when these two were on screen together.

Clearly fans of mixing business with pleasure, Eric and Val set up their own fabrics company together. That particular venture proved unsuccessful, so the couple decided to try their luck at being hoteliers.

Shortly after their 2008 wedding, they purchased The Grange B&B, and two years later Val and Eric became foster parents when they took in teenage runaway, Amy Wyatt (now Barton).

Their marriage hid the skids after Val cheated on Eric while they were on a break and contracted HIV. Eric left Val after he found out what she’d done, but they found their way back to one another.

By 2015, Val was facing a prison sentence after committing fraud. She and Eric hatched a plan to fake her death so they could run away abroad together. But the scheming duo never got that far when Val became one of the victims of the village helicopter crash.

A few days after her passing, Val appeared as a spirit and bid Eric a final goodbye. It was fitting ending for such an iconic partnership.

It was second time lucky for Seth and Betty (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

Seth Armstrong and Betty Eagleton

Emmerdale golden couple Seth and Betty showed us all the joys of good old fashioned romance.

The pair had been sweethearts when they were young, before going their their separate ways. Betty went on to marry Walter, while Seth made a life with his wife, Meg.

Following Wally’s death in 1994, Betty came to the village in search of Seth. He too had also been recently widowed. It was second time lucky for the former lovebirds, who reconciled and threw the locals a 1940s Christmas party.

Betty definitely was the boss in their relationship, but Seth was her rock. When her no-good ex Reggie Wilkie came to the village looking to cause trouble, Seth saw him off. Shortly afterwards, Seth was the victim of a mugging and Betty nursed him back to health.

Yes, they had their fallings out – who remembers when Betty dumped Seth after discovering he was broadcasting her to the village via a secret webcam – but their love always won over.

Seth and Betty left the Dales together to start a new life in Australia. Homesick Betty soon returned and Seth was set to join her, but died on his flight home.

Lisa and Zak were blissfully happy together until tragedy struck (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

Zak Dingle and Lisa Clegg

Soulmates Zak and Lisa were the heart of the show for many years.

She was brave enough to take on his crazy family, and Zak worshipped the ground she walked on. The couple survived an attempt by Lisa’s ex-husband, Barry Clegg to split them up, and went on to marry on January 28, 1998.

Eleven months later, the couple experienced their very own Christmas miracle when Lisa gave birth to daughter, Belle, in a pigsty. Belle’s shock arrival made Zak faint, which is hardly surprising given he and Lisa didn’t even know she was expecting.

There were ups and down in the marriage, but Zak and Lisa always found a way to work through things. But in 2015, the Emmerdale writers caused uproar by making Zak have an affair with their lodger, Joanie Wright. Fans were aghast over Zak’s betrayal and felt the show had destroyed its strongest marriage.

Zak divorced Lisa and married Joanie, but it didn’t last. After Joanie was killed off, Zak and Lisa fell in love again. When Lisa became terminally ill, she and Zak decided to remarry. The couple exchanged vows in a tearjerking ceremony, but just hours later Zak returned home to find Lisa had peacefully slipped away on the sofa. Sob!

Jack and Diane made a great team (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

Best Emmerdale couples: Jack and Diane Sugden

Jack and Diane were a refreshingly normal couple, whose stable partnership we really miss.

The pair had been friends for many years before romance blossomed after Woolpack landlady Diane supported Jack through the death of his second wife, Sarah. They married on September 21 2004, but the day was bittersweet as Diane was undergoing treatment for cancer.

She went on to make a full recovery, but life was rather stressful dealing with Sugden kids, Robert, Andy and Victoria. Their constant drama drove a wedge between Jack and Diane and caused them to break up for a bit.

The couple did reconcile and were happy again, but their life together was about to be cut short. In 2009, Jack died while in Spain visiting his elderly mum, Annie. The character was written out of the soap after the passing of real-life actor Clive Hornby.

Diane was devastated at the sudden loss of her husband, but soldiered on in her usual stoic way. She remained living in the village for another 13 years before leaving for a new life.

Katie and Andy on their second wedding day (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

Andy Sugden and Katie Addyman

Andy and Katie first locked eyes during a detention session at school. The teens fell hard and fast for one another, and at 16 decided they were mature enough to start a family. Katie fell pregnant, but sadly lost the baby. When Andy took over the tenancy at Butlers, farming started to take over his life. Katie was left feeling neglected and started a secret affair with Andy’s brother, Robert.

The love triangle kept viewers gripped. Katie went ahead and married Andy, but couldn’t deny her love for Robert. When Andy found out about their betrayal he tried to kill Robert, then divorced Katie. It was no surprise that Katie and Robert’s relationship also ended very badly.

In the years that followed Andy and Katie both married again – he to Jo Stiles, her to Declan Macey, but they never forget their first love.

In 2014, a decade after their first trip down the aisle, Andy and Katie said I do again. But sadly they never even made it to their one year anniversary. Katie reignited her bitter feud with Robert and threatened to out his affair with Aaron Dingle. Robert responded by pushing Katie to her death through the floor of a derelict barn, leaving poor Andy a widower.

Paddy and Marlon are the ultimate double act (Credit: ITV)

Best Emmerdale bromance: Marlon Dingle and Paddy Kirk

Okay, so Paddy and Marlon aren’t a romantic couple, but they are inseparable.

The Dales double act have one of the most enduring friendships in all of soap – 27 years and still going strong. These two have shared everything – including the ladies – yes, Rhona, we’re looking at you!

There have been plenty of laughs and comedy capers, but also darker times. When Marlon suffered a stroke, Paddy was instrumental in his recovery, and the chef returned the favour when his best mate battled depression.

But whatever life throws at them, we know these guys have always got each others’ backs. Long live their bromance.

As Aaron disappears from screens, Emmerdale fans have beef with his current storylines and they want changes

As Aaron disappears from screens, Emmerdale fans have beef with his current storylines and they want changes.

When it comes to Aaron, he’s either getting into a scrap, sobbing his eyes out, or being thrown into a new relationship as part of his central storylines.

But, following Aaron’s latest injuries, fans have had enough of the same old story. They’re hoping for a change in Aaron’s storylines, switching up the record for viewers.

It’s a tough life for Aaron (Credit: ITV)

Aaron Dingle storylines – from romances to fights

Recently on Emmerdale, Aaron found himself caught up in Ross and Billy’s boxing match trouble. He’d attended the fight to help in case anything went wrong but this kind act backfired on him massively. Ouch.

With John telling everyone the police were on their way, Aaron ended up getting punched to the ground by Deano. John came to his rescue, with Aaron then heading to hospital for a short stay (would it be a soap if it was any longer?!)

Aside from getting beaten up, Aaron’s also been creating sparks with his ex-husband’s brother – John Sugden. Eek.

It hasn’t been the smoothest of starts for the pair but they’ve clearly got more chemistry to explore…

Fans are finding Aaron’s storylines boring (Credit: ITV)

Fans beg for change as repetitive Aaron storylines air

Poor Aaron never has it easy. He’s always getting himself into dangerous situations or putting his heart on the line with a new love interest.

Now, fans have noticed that other than dragging Aaron out for a fight or throwing him into a relationship, Aaron isn’t included in many other storylines.

Despite fighting for his life last week, current scenes have an Aaron shaped hole in them. And, when he is, it’s just in scenes he shares with John.

Fans are hoping that change is on its way, and Aaron will finally be involved in other storylines that don’t just involve him ending up with a huge cut on his face and that don’t define him just by the relationship he’s in.

One fan complained: “I think they don’t know what to do with Aaron and the easiest thing is to put him in a ‘relationship’, use Robert like plot device, because they know that most of us want him to come back, and there are also clicks, written articles, etc.”

A second viewer agreed: “So no Aaron tonight, not surprising. Yesterday had a feeling that they have wrapped it up nicely with a bow having pushed Aaron/John along into living together & that’s all we’re getting for the moment. I look forward to an actual story line for him hopefully soon.”

A third person shared: “I had the same feeling unless the boxing SL with ‘John the Grass’ continues soon.”

Emmerdale review of the week: Boxing boredom, Dawn’s back, and Tina’s in trouble

This week’s Emmerdale review is written wearily as we force ourselves to watch another bout of illegal boxing and all the toxic men in the village trying to out do each other.

But there were some less exhausting parts too. Here’s what we thought of the action in this week’s Emmerdale review.

Boxing boredom in our Emmerdale review

What on earth is all this then? Nothing about this illegal boxing story makes sense. In no particular order, here are the things that have been bothering us this week…

First up, how is Jade both a two-bit boxing promoter running fights in random barns, and at the same time a criminal mastermind with enough contacts to threaten Billy’s kids and know that Billy’s wife used to be an addict?!

How are her henchmen so evil and strong that they can beat Ross to a pulp, but not bright enough to pick up the money belt that looked like it might have belonged to Martin Fowler.

Why were the people watching the fight a rag-tag group of weirdos but somehow with enough cash to place bets so massive that they had to pay for them with rolls of money? It’s all a mystery.

This is Dawn’s unimpressed face (Credit: ITV)

Dawn stepped up

Dawn came up with the brilliant idea of Billy throwing the fight. Which was a) surprisingly smart for Dawn and b) totally what Jade should have done last week.

But as it happened it didn’t matter, because John called the police and everyone scarpered. And we were left groaning that this whole awful story still isn’t over.

Dawn’s back

It’s hard to remember now she mostly wanders round with a chip on her shoulder and a laundry basket on her hip, but Dawn used to be quite interesting. And she had a bit of an edge to her. We caught a little glimpse of that old Dawn this week and we liked it!

There was a definite spark between her and Ross, which reminded us how much we liked them together back in the day. And it was quite amusing how all the big men – Ross, Billy, Aaron – were scared of Jade, while Dawn just sent her packing. More, please!

We’re undecided about Tina’s return (Credit: ITV)

Tina’s back, too in our Emmerdale review

Tina’s back in Emmerdale but unlike Dawn, she’s bearing no trace of the old Tina Dingle whatsoever. Unlike some fans, we liked Tina when she first came back for Zak’s funeral – but she’s not quite doing it for us. Mostly because she’s so completely different from the old Tina!

First time round, Tina was smart, with a sharp-tongue, and a quick brain. She was a bit classier than the average Dingle – we’re not talking Kim Tate classy but you know what we mean – and she was ambitious, albeit ruthless.

New Tina is a carbon copy of Rose Jackson, in her scheming and lying, and she even looks a bit like her. She probably is entitled to some of Zak’s house but we don’t much care either way.

And we still don’t understand why or how Mandy kept the identity of Vinny’s mum a secret.

Why so much hate for Tina?!

Another thing that’s got us scratching our heads over Tina is why everyone hates her. We admit she did wrong during her time in Emmerdale, but she was devoted to her family and grief-stricken over the loss of her brother Ben.

She and Mandy were always besties and their goodbye was heartfelt and emotional. She even begged Mandy to go to London with her and left her cousin the fancy car Frank Tate had bought her.

We sort of get Mandy having mixed feelings about her now given the Vinny sitch, but what about the rest of the Dingles? It’s all very confusing!

Give Ella something to do for heaven’s sake! (Credit: ITV)

What’s the point of Ella?

We are reluctant to say this out loud because we love Paula Lane, who plays child killer Ella, but what’s the point of her now her secret’s been revealed? Give her something to do! We liked her almost-friendship with Cain, and her bonding with Manpreet for starters. Her backstory does make her hard to like, but surely there’s a place for her somewhere in the village?

Dingles united

One thing we did love about this week’s episode was the bonfire night fiasco with the Guy who looked like Tom King! Tom’s reaction was totally predictable, as he threw a massive tantrum, shouted at poor Amelia, and whinged to Uncle Jimmy.

And we LOVED the Dingles’ Spartacus moment when they all took the blame. The Dingles at their absolute best!

Definitely time for a Robert return! (Credit: ITV)

Loving John

We are really enjoying John and Aaron’s budding romance. They’re so good together and it seems they’re on an even keel now after a pretty rocky start.

Which probably means it’s time for Robert to come back, wouldn’t you say? Hint, hint, Emmerdale writers…

Suspicion of ‘John of all trades’ continues to grow as he saves Aaron’s life

John in Emmerdale really is a superhero! Not only can he be a farmer and a boxing trainer but it turns out he can also save lives due to his medical training in the army.

But after he performed emergency surgery on Aaron last night (Thursday November 7) fans were left even more suspicious of him than before – and that’s saying something!

They are sure he’s not all he seems and it’s really niggling at them just who he might be…

John saves Aaron’s life in Emmerdale

Things have been a little tense between John and Aaron this week. John, who clearly doesn’t have social media and has never seen the Robron hashtag, realised just ‘how deep’ Robert and Aaron’s relationship was.

Feeling insecure he pushed Aaron for answers on his feelings for Seb and for Robert now. But in true Aaron fashion, he clammed up and stormed off. And then refused to give John the time of day.

But with Aaron attending Billy and Ross’s fight, John was worried, especially when he found out the police were on their way. So he rushed to the barn to break up the fight and get Aaron out.

However in the commotion, Aaron confronted one of Jade’s goons and was punched in the chest. It caused his lung to collapse and John had to act quickly to save Aaron‘s life.

Performing emergency surgery with the help of an old biro, John managed to drain the air out of Aaron’s lung, and stablise him until the ambulance arrived.

Thankfully John was there to perform emergency surgery (Credit: ITV)

Fans’ suspicions of John grow

With all these heroics you’d think John would be Mr Popular, but it seems not with viewers! They are now even more suspicious of him than they were before.

“Anyone else sick of John being the hero every five seconds. ‘I’m saving his life’. He’s always in life saving situations,” sighed one on social media.

Another agreed: “This storyline gets worse and worse. Now we’ve got John of all trades saving lives!!”

“John, boxing trainer, doctor, surgeon, paramedic, mechanic, farm worker, genius, hero. Veteran. He was homeless living in a van last week,” joked one more.

A fourth speculated: “John is getting on my nerves. He pops up constantly to save the day. I can’t believe he’s who we’re being led to believe…”

“Maybe I’m wrong but maybe John is supposed to be too good to be true kind of thing?” queried a fifth.

A final person added: “I swear John can do everything. He’s too perfect. Truly was expecting him to solve the police case, drive the ambulance, and fix the vending machine.”

Is the superhero, Mr Perfect, routine just an act?

Newcomer John claims to be a secret Sugden (Credit: ITV)

Who is John Sugden in Emmerdale?

There has been speculation since John arrived that he is not really a Sugden. This week a fan theory suggested he was connected to Robert having knew him in prison.

John was hiding a mysterious secret when he first arrived and clutching on to some dog tags with the name Aidan Moore. Was he really Aidan Moore? Had he killed Aidan Moore? Was Aidan Moore another Sugden brother? Everyone wanted to know and then it was revealed – mid-episode – in a real damp squib that he was an army mate who John had failed to save. Tragic, sure, but really worthy of all this build-up? No.

So it’s possible that was just the tip of the iceberg and there’s more to his story. We hope so, for John’s sake, because fans aren’t happy so far!

3 Emmerdale spoilers for tonight: Mandy confesses, Chas worries and Ross faces the music

Emmerdale spoilers for tonight reveal Mandy confesses everything to Paddy, but can he convince her to stand up to Tina?

Meanwhile Chas is worried for Aaron and Cain makes a demand of Ross.

Here’s what’s happening in Emmerdale spoilers for Friday November 8.

Mandy confesses in Emmerdale spoilers

Paddy is worried about Mandy (Credit: ITV)

1. Paddy discovers the truth

Ever since Tina’s arrival she’s been causing trouble for Mandy. And Mandy knows if she doesn’t do as Tina says her secret will come spilling out.

Tina is blackmailing Mandy to help her get her share of Zak’s will. She wants Wishing Well sold so she can take the money and disappear again. She is using the fact she is Vinny’s biological mum against Mandy, who doesn’t know where to turn.

But as things get even worse tonight, Mandy is overcome with fear and upset. She can’t take it any more and when Paddy finds her in tears she finally confesses.

Paddy gives her a pep talk and Mandy feels stronger. But is she strong enough to take on Tina and win?

Chas worries for Aaron in Emmerdale spoilers

2. Aaron recovers as Chas worries

Even though Aaron was barely in last night’s episode, he still ended up the centre of it after being taken out by a single punch. He was trying to stop one of Jade’s goons escaping the police and got a collapsed lung for his trouble.

Fortunately paramedic/boyfriend John Sugden was there to perform an emergency procedure (we’re not even going to attempt the medical jargon for that one!) with a pen and a knife. He saved Aaron’s life.

Aaron was taken to hospital where Chas rushed to be by his side. But tonight Chas is worried about her son. His condition is stable, but her concern lies in the emotional impact yet another brush with death has had on him.

Will Aaron share his feelings with Chas?

Cain throws Ross out

3. Ross gets on Cain’s wrong side

To be fair to Ross, he wasn’t that keen on fighting Billy again, nor was he happy about using one of the barns at Butlers as the venue. But none of that matters to Cain who knows what happened and isn’t happy.

Last night he left Ross by the side of the road to be arrested by PC Swirling, and tonight Cain is feeling no friendlier. In fact he demands Ross leaves the house and the village for good.

But will Ross really go?

What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Fight club didn’t end well for anyone as Aaron fought for his life, Billy blew it and Ross was arrested

Emmerdale tonight was all about Billy and Ross’ fight club and it turned out everyone lost out – well, almost everyone. Ross has been arrested, Billy has sacrificed his marriage for his ego and Aaron was rushed to hospital. Mack, however, seems to think he has come out on top…

Meanwhile, Chas and Liam risked being exposed and Tina made her presence felt.

Here’s everything that went down in Emmerdale tonight, Thursday November 7.

Fight club in Emmerdale tonight

Billy’s pride wouldn’t let him take the fall (Credit: ITV)

Billy messed up

Jade turned up at Butlers and announced the fight was now being held in one of the barns there. Elsewhere, Dawn was adamant Billy was throwing the fight – and she was going to bet their money on it to make sure of it. Billy, of course, sulked. Get over yourself, mate!

Dawn then went to visit Ross and it was clear there was a rapport there. But is Billy right, is there more to their relationship? And yes, we did see that look Dawn gave Ross when he took off his shirt! She liked what she saw (and she probably wasn’t the only one!)

As the fight got underway, Billy soon overpowered Ross. Dawn was clearly worried Billy was going back on their arrangement. And it looked like he was because he did not stay down in round three as instructed.

And then John arrived to say the police had been called and the fight come to a halt. So Dawn has lost all their money.

As everybody scarpered Dawn and Billy limped home and he STILL didn’t take responsibility. He was still blaming her and acting like he was the wounded party. But frankly that pain in his stomach is the least he deserves. Dawn did not want to hear it.

She then revealed she had pawned her wedding ring to place the bet and despite Billy’s pleas he would get it back (er, how, exactly, mate?) Dawn told him she didn’t see herself wearing it again. Can’t really blame her, can we?

John saved Aaron’s life

With everyone gone from the barn, Jade’s goons were trying to clear all the evidence before they left. But they soon couldn’t find the money and started fighting over it. Aaron tried to stop one of them leaving as the police pulled up, but he was punched to the floor.

The hit managed to collapse Aaron’s lung and John had to intervene fast to save his life. He used a pen and a sharp knife to intubate and rescued him. And it turns out what he did was a pretty big deal. But will Aaron be grateful?

Mack made a mint

With everyone running off, Mack stayed to deal with the cops, but it was clear he had a plan up his sleeve as he swiped the money and hid it.

After the police left, he was beside himself with joy at the fact he had all the cash. But something tells us this won’t end well for him at all!

Ross was arrested

As everyone else managed to escape, it all came down on poor Ross. He was limping down a country lane when Cain drove past him. But knowing what had gone one, Cain refused to rescue him – just as good old PC Swirling drove round the corner and arrested him. Will Ross rat out Jade and Billy and bring more trouble to his door?

Chas and Liam in Emmerdale tonight

Chas and Liam were all loved-up after the night before. But Ella is still hanging round like a bad smell. She saw Liam coming and pretended to be on the phone setting up a date to make him jealous. However, her phone rang and he caught her out. Liam took her home to talk things through and Ella begged for the truth. He was kind, but still avoided being honest, so she leaned in to kiss him.

Ella then disappeared upstairs, but while she was there, Chas arrived and asked Liam to take her to the hospital. He immediately grabbed his keys and left Ella without saying a word. She walked back downstairs, but has she realised what’s really going on? And what action will she take?

Tina definitely doesn’t know the Dingle code! (Credit: ITV)

Also in Emmerdale tonight: Tina caused more trouble

Sam found Tina in her caravan in the Dingles’ yard. She turned on the waterworks as she stood over Zak’s grave. But then she made it clear she wants her share of the house. Sam desperately looked for the will and couldn’t find it, suspecting Tina had swiped it.

Tina then arrived at the Woolpack and the Dingles rounded on her. It turned out, Mandy had the will and had stolen it to give to Tina.

Tina then managed to get Sam drunk and got him to spill some secrets – including the fact Vinny is loaded. Using this to her advantage, money-grabbing Tina continued to blackmail Mandy into getting Wishing Well sold so she can get her share. But will Mandy do it?

‘Fake’ Sugden John is Robert’s former cell mate, new fan theory predicts

A new Emmerdale fan theory has suggested that John Sugden isn’t entirely who he’s claiming to be – with one idea predicting that he could be Robert’s former cell mate… and lover.

This comes following last night’s episode (Wednesday, November 6), in which John tried to get Aaron to open up about his relationship with Robert. The typically bull-headed Robert was having none of it, leaving John frustrated.

“What are you, jealous?” Aaron asked as John demanded to know whether he still had feelings for his ex-husband.

“Why would I be jealous of someone like him?” John responded.

A curious comment to some – with one viewer predicting that John’s remark could hint at a surprising shared history between the pair.

Does John know Robert on Emmerdale?

Writing on X last night, one fan shared this intriguing theory, saying: “Yep this new Sugden is a FAKE Sugden. Him and Aaron talking about Robert and he says a man like him… Scorned lover AKA Robert’s cell mate.”

“I think John isn’t the real John and he’s been in jail with Robert, remember the name on the dog tagsâ€¦something is not right,” said another.

Could ‘John Sugden’ actually be a former cell mate of Robert’s – and a scorned lover too, at that?

This isn’t the first time that viewers have been left wondering whether there’s more to John’s past than meets the eye. John holding on to a pair of dog tags engraved with the name ‘Aidan Moore’ had some theorising that he might have stolen a former army mate’s identity – although the soap seems to have quashed that one more recently.

Is John hiding something?

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.

Robron

Robert and Aaron’s romance was one of fans’ favourite Emmerdale storylines of all time. During theÂ 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.

1. Clemmie and Lucas go missing

Billy has been backed into a corner by bad boss Jade, who wants him to fight Ross again. Despite his best attempts to stand up to her and tell her it isn’t happening, she isn’t taking no for an answer.

To prove her point, she turned up at Holdgate and tricked Dawn into having a drink with her. Although she played nice, her threat was obvious – I can get to your family.

Billy returned home to find them together and was furious, but Jade made herself very clear: fight Ross again or next time it’ll be your kids I take.

And tonight, Billy thinks she’s done just that. He comes home to find Dawn frantically looking for Clemmie and Lucas. She tells him they are missing and he immediately puts two and two together, gets six, and says Jade has something to do with it.

Dawn’s confused as to why Jade would be involved with their missing kids, but will Billy confess all? And will Clemmie and Lucas be okay?

2. Dawn makes a plan

With Billy on the backfoot, he soon finds he has to come clean. How will Dawn react when she finds out the truth?

Before too long, she is making a plan, but what is it? And who does it involve?
