As the original family of Emmerdale I feel the family is in need of being built back up. They deserve a stronger prominence on the show. After Kathy's recent return to Eastenders I was thinking could a return for Joe Sugden work?

He was killed off screen meaning we never saw him die and it could easily be explained away as Joe getting caught up in something in Spain and having to fake his death and go into witness protection. He could return with a family, wife and children and allow the Sugdens to be rebuilt and have a strong presence on the show once more.

I think the sugdens are fine as they are. Plus i am sure in decades to come, we will see older versions of Jack and Sarah carrying on the sugden name. Plus Robert's adopted child with Aaron.

Good lord, neither Robert nor Aaron could ever bring up a kid. They're both completely self-obsessed.

"Dad, can I have coco pops?"
"Shut up, I'm scheming."
"Other Dad, have you got the bus fare for school?"
"Shut up, I'm really upset at Robert right now. "


Anyway, back OT, yes, I like the Sudgens together and would like to see more. I love Robert/Andy scenes, and they should do more with Victoria really.

I guess it's all going to be blown apart by the Katie reveal though.

Maybe they could bring back Sandie Merrick she's Robert's half-sister after all I always wondered what happened to her. They could have it revealed that her and Robert got back in touch with each other and grew close during his years away from the village. Sandie could come back with a husband and adult children. If i recall her eldest child Louise was even older than her half-brother. So Robert has a niece whose in her 30s.

LMAO!!!! That is exactly how it'd go down. The poor little Sugden-Livsey wouldn't stand a chance, hopefully though Aaron would take after his cousin Debbie and pawn the kid off on Paddy or Chas who would do a better job of raising the kid.

I don't think Emmerdale should do it especially not soon after Kathy's return in Eastenders. I know soaps have similar stories to each other but I think in this case Emmerdale shouldn't do it.

I disagree. Just because EastEnders does something doesn't mean Emmerdale have to. Plus, as someone else has said, the next generation of Sugdens is already in it so I don't think we need any more. Also I don't understand why they deserve a stronger prominence on the show. Nostalgia isn't always a good thing.

Fine - as long as Robert goes. (and he will - Emmerdale have never let truly horrible characters linger on)
Joe must have been identified though - but mistakes happen.

Sorry, can't stand them together. With or without children.

Poor kid. Though it would probably take after its Dads and just learn to have massive tantrums to get what it wants.

Not when you're not wearing Robron-fan glasses. Honestly, they're both pretty vile!

Chas would do a better job??? Who's fault is it that Aaron has "I have abandonment issues" tattooed on his forehead?

I think Chas would step up and be a good grandma, she's got herself together now.

Maybe, but most likely we'll never get to see.

To come back to the OP, I think we will soon see a recast of Sarah, once she is 12 or 13, and if she comes after her parents (or grandparents), we won't have to wait too long for the next generation to arrive.

Yeah, I'm sure Sarah will be pregnant in a couple years making Debbie and grandma and Cain and Charity great-grandparents.

Now did Joe Sugden have any kids? maybe they could bring in one of his kids with a wife and a couple of kids of his own.

BIB I think your right, I can't see how Rob's going to survive Andy (post Katie reveal) let alone have a proper relationship with Aaron!

If they were to go down that route though, doesn't Aaron have a little half-sister out there somewhere?

He does, she'd be pretty young though. They should give Chas a long lost daugher, maybe she could be Aaron's twin. That could be an interesting story to cover.

I agree. Chas had a fair amount to contend with herself growing up and so she's insecure and as a very young Mum she messed up. She's still insecure and very hyper a lot of the time but she's settled and could, with a decent partner and support make a good shot at parenting. She has a very loving, affectionate nature as well - look how kind she always was to Shadrach in spite of everything. At the same time I don't see her taking much crap of a kid, although she would probably go into over protective tigress mode with it which is never good. I wonder if she would be so over protective to an adult child she hadn't abandoned? Maybe we'll see her get back with Paddy and have her own child?

I would really like to see that. I even thought they were heading there when Paddy and Chas slept together during Rhona's drug story. I was sure when Chas came back from visiting Aaron she would be pregnant with Paddy's kid.
