LOL you're trippin, now way are those two better actors than Danny Miller and Ryan Hawley and they have great chemistry if they didn't their paring wouldn't be so popular.
Yes, "i'm trippin" because I do not think like you do...

And some wonder why there's such a strong backlash to Robron

Well Robert is selfish and cares only about himself but him and Aaron are way more entertaining than Finn and Coma Boy.
I don't think so. In any capacity. Though I'm undecided on Kasim at the moment. He's had 3 scenes to introduce himself so I'll reserve judgement.

But Robron are neither more entertaining or make more sense, to me.

Look I'm not even a Robron stan but damn they are both extremely good actors and they have good chemistry. The only problem I have with them is somewhere along the line Aaron became Robert's victim.

Well good for you.

That still doesn't mean "i'm trippin" because I dare disagree with you.

Aaron is always the victim who people are meant to feel sorry for, its boring.

Not true, there have been plenty of times when he was not the victim.

Yes, but he will still have people feeling sorry for him. They will probably say he's doing it because of his insecurities or something. Be honest, alot of the times when Aaron does bad things, it somehow gets turned around, and people are left feeling sorry for him.

I think Finn and Kasim (even though they're barely yet a couple) have much more on screen chemistry in one B&B scene, than Robert and Aaron have ever had in two years. And both Joe Gill and Ethan Kai are straight too. Perhaps they're just better actors
It's blatantly clear to me that on screen chemistry and perception of acting skills is a very subjective thing or we wouldn't get statements like this

really? Finn is lonely bloke who went to visit the bloke the he saved. He can't talk to his brothers or his mum, so he goes to visit him to open up. Ok, its weird, yes, but if you think it makes less sense than Robron then I really don't know what to say.

You say you're not a Robron fan, but you certainly sound like one.
Why can't he talk to his Mum or brothers for that matter Since they found out he had been visiting a coma victim and pretending to be his boyfriend they have been nothing but available for him.

I think people have this story line completely wrong. It's abundantly clear that Finn fancied Kasim and wanted a relationship with him and took advantage of his comatose state to act like a boyfriend and spend time with him.

If this isn't the case then why did he have the gaydar discussion, pretend to be his boyfriend to the nurse and act all guilty with his family and afraid that the now awake Kasim finds out what he was up to?

I'm not saying it isnt weird, of course it is. The discussion was about them being compared to Robron and how weird the relationship is between them.

Not all the time and even so what about your boy Ross, he loves playing the victim but you are ok with that.

Indeed, nor statements that say Robert and Aaron have good chemistry.

Some even say Aaron has chemistry with other people, like Chas. Subjective craziness

I find Ross interesting, and I think Aaron is boring. Its as simple as that really.

I love Robert and him and Aaron together but yes it is a totally implausible relationship in real life after everything that went on. I'm just glad it's a soap and these kind of things can happen

No doubt Finn will end up with Kasim too and while it isn't necessarily as implausible as Aaron and Robert it is an awful lot duller but what gets me about it all is the view constantly maintained that Finn is a nice man. Finn is not nice at all in my view and I would say that this story line along with the way he treated his last boyfriend shows that he is far from nice.

Sexual chemistry with his mum Crazy indeed.

I think Robert has chemistry with a lot of the other characters. He seems to ooze it in my opinion

Yes they are, even with all the attempted murders and kidnappings their story makes more sense than this. Plus Aaron and Robert are way better characters than Finn.....the jury is still out on Coma Boy.
Well at least they didn't use an abuse storyline to get Finn together in a romantic pairing.
Robron is a totally dysfunctional relationship

I didn't say sexual chemistry. I said chemistry.

Robert does indeed have chemistry with many others... again possibly because Ryan Hawley is a far better actor than Miller.

I really don't see how you like Ross but don't like Aaron.
Both completely different personalities, Ross is charismatic, loud and a complete sociopath. Aaron is quiet, reserved, very miserable, he's the exact opposite personality wise.

They look similar, they dress the same, and they're both criminals, but I feel like Ross pulls it off better. I don't dislike Aaron by the way, I'm just bored of him and Robert.

Sometimes it's easier to open up to a stranger - someone who won't take it personally and worry or become upset. I agree though, he was seeing Kasim as a boyfriend, not just a ' sounding board's.

Ah I see. Not quite so crazy then.

To be honest I'm not a brilliant judge of acting ability, it's more about who I warm to, am interested in and like maybe. I think it's the same for everybody to be fair and for me, I've just never warmed to Finn whereas was instantly into Robert. I was never much of an Arron fan because I hated his teenage incarnation but once his and Robert's relationship was out there I was drawn to them as a couple. They seem very realistic to me anyway.

Emmerdale used an abuse story line to bring them together. If it is so unacceptable then you should probably refuse to watch anymore

I do think Robron get the brunt of people's disgusted opinion on using an abuse story line to bring them together and I do think it's a bit unfair.

Weirdly there are parallels though with Finn and Kasim IE Finn only being able to talk to a coma victim and being strangely drawn to someone who by the way he knows nothing about. Aaron felt only able to tell his own abuse to Robert. He used him as a conduit to reveal all and garner strength to tell others.

I'm not saying it's perfect or even brilliant but I suppose for a soap neither set ups are that unbelievable or that unacceptable. It just comes down to who you like more or who you find more interesting and at this stage it is Robert and Aaron hands down for me.

That old chestnut. What's the point in even expressing an opinion if all people can say is don't watch it. That's just shutting debate down

I love Emmerdale. I do not like aspects of it including the way they used that storyline to reunite a frankly disfunctional pairing.

If you like them I respect that but please respect my opinion in turn
