I've been away a lot this week, so only just got round to watching all last weeks episodes in one hit..... well with my finger on the fast forward button a lot of the time, 40 minutes and I was done with the lot.... nothing much to say really that hasn't been said already.


I think the thing I find most depressing about where we are is why Robert is still trying to get back with Chrissie?

I mean if its just the life style, then at the end of the day he could take the money, set up his own business and he could give them a run for their money. He is smart enough to do well....

If he loves Aaron I don't get why at this stage its not one of his main goals in life to get him back. Robert doens't seem to give up on anything else he wants, so why does he give up on Aaron? He can have the life and Aaron if he stopped being so stupid.

I don't get where the writers are going with this and to be honest am P'd off quite a lot with it..... maybe I'll feel better about it all in a few days
They seem to be hellbent on keeping the train going, prolonging the storyline, keeping us on edge waiting for something that I think a lot of us aren't even sure will happen anymore.

For me, I think the reason Robert isn't fighting for Aaron is a few things. One, from the shows perspective they want to give the Robron story a break and therefore are keeping them apart purposefully. From in in-canon perspective, I think Robert is afraid. We all saw how devestated he was when Aaron told him he didn't love him, that's gotta of been painful to hear and find out (even though we all know it's not true). I think rejection from Aaron hits him a lot harder than rejection from anyone else so fighting for Aaron is a daunting task. Plus, Robert at this point is sure that Aaron hates him, and that there is a heck of a lot more betrayal and inflicted pain towards Aaron then there is Chrissie. Robert is at even more risk if he upsets Aaron anymore because Aaron has all the tools to destroy him completely. Robert's a self-preservationist so doing that is just stupid right now.

I'm sure that something will happen that leads Robert to realize Aaron doesn't hate him as much as he currently believes or that he does still care or even love him. And when that happens, then we'll start to see Robert fighting for Aaron. Or at least, we can hope. (Not that hope has got us far so far )

I also feel a bit at a loss to where it's all heading with Robron-I do think they'll be together but I don't know how or when.I do think that they'll get together but then the Katie reveal thing will happen and surely that will change it all.Also I am disalusioned with the aftermath of the Robron affair reveal and the disaster aftermath.Both have been very strange and very minimal considering all the build up beforehand.I normally like the aftermath of these things but I think this time they have been a real let down

I think we have to remember although Robert can't deny he fell in love with aaron, he's not happy about it.

I still don't think he's comfortable with the idea of actually being in love with a man, regardless of the fact that people now know he at least has sex with them.

He is definitely afraid, of his feelings, of rejection from aaron etc etc etc.

Spot on both of these posts.

Robert has spent so long denying that sex with men means anything that when it actually did with Aaron reality smacked him big time in the face.

He also hates the idea of being alone probably something to do with when he was sent away by Jack and he had no family, friends, job or anywhere to go or live.

If that's fat than I'm a morbidly obese man

Are we getting any Aaron tonight or is it going to be another delightful Jai/Rachel episode?

Aaron's not in this week at all, or next. Robert's not in next week either.

I presume Robert won't be in the week after either. As for Aaron, maybe he will? Idk.

Both Ryan and Danny are a bit on the ever so slightly chunky side at times. Ryan has had a bit of a belly at times and I feel Danny has put a bit of Weight on recently and got a bit chunkier. But they both look great anyway so who cares. Just an observation I don't mean anything by it.

Chunky isn't a word I would use to describe either of them, I think sometimes they're just dressed extremely unflatteringly.

I hope that once we get to the end of the month and into September we will start seeing Aaron and Robert a lot more. Robert will probably have a lot of focus on the build up to Chrissie's sentencing and Aaron....who knows? a new love interest that would be nice. If the Katie reveal is coming up in Autumn they will need to start building toward it soon, surely?


Neither Ryan or Danny are "chunky" and why does it matter anyway

Well I wouldn't say something being discussed means it 'matters' to people but I get your point.

I'm sure nobody cares what weight they happen to be on the scales it's just a harmless casual chat. Observations. Nothing more.

I agree, but I think it's even more than that.

Aaron not only has the tools to destroy Robert like you say, but he has already proven that he can and will use them.
He has shown Robert that even though he pointed a loaded gun at his head, he is not afraid of him.

Aaron has shown no remorse or regret for revealing the affair. Who's to say he won't tell Vic or Chas about Katie?

Come on this is Emmerdale, it won't happen. We never get the stuff the storyline should get, instead we get sensationalized reunions that last a matter of days (if that) before it turns to shit again

As you can tell I'm oozing positivity today

I understand. I love Robert and Aaron but I never know when they're "on" unless one of them mentions it.
I am hoping the emmerdale writers surprise us with the emotional roller coaster Robert and Aaron fans been riding for the last 8 months we at least deserve a proper scene with them

But you're right. I won't hold my breath. :/
