The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.
Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) has married John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) in Emmerdale, following the sudden return of his ex Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley).
Robert made his way back to the village on Wednesday to try and stop Aaron from marrying his half brother. He wasn’t there to announce that he knew everything about John’s dark secrets, but there to tell Aaron that he never stopped loving him while he was in prison.
Absolutely knocked for six, Aaron wasn’t able to complete his vows at first, leaving John incredibly worried. He headed off and found Robert by the bridge, and wondered how on earth he was out of prison.
Robert explained that he had got out following an appeal, and was there to try and get back with Aaron.
The beloved character didn’t know what to do next. Torn between the two men, Aaron was forced to choose between Robert and John.
In tonight’s episode though, it was confirmed he had picked John.
While the ceremony was concluding, a drunk Robert was sat at the bus station.
His attempt at drowning his sorrows was interrupted by the arrival of PC Swirling (Andy Moore), who revealed to Robert that he’s broken his bail conditions.
It meant that Robert was sent back to prison, marking the end to his very brief time back in the Dales.
