Start watching EE?

*slaps self with wet trout*


Still, more preferable than the other ITV soap.

I hear EE has gone back to basics recently, sounds intriguing.

LMAO!!!! There is some truth to this, that has to be the most cursed town in the world. It also kind of makes me laugh when people say British soaps are more realistic that the US ones when these small villages and streets have these huge disasters at least once a year. I can count on one hand the amount of disaster All My Children had in its 40+ years on the air.

I see a Robron fan on the AT thread has decided that Robert chose to be with Chrissie instead of Rebecca because he saw Chrissie as some kind of pseudo mother figure.



Kinda leaves you lost for words really


Don't you just love this fantasy world that Emmerdale has created with Robron

I did see that!
No doubt that will appear in the script in the coming weeks.

Also saw one complaining about Aaron not having anything to do besides Robert. Oh the irony.

But its true - Robert & Aaron only exist to be in love with each other - they serve no other purpose anymore. (well, except to secure the show soap awards )

Poor Aaron - raped by his daddy, eaten him up all these years - and poor Robert, beaten by his Daddy and shagging endless women cos he was seeking a mother figure.

They've "found" each other now though - doesn't it gladden your heart eh?

Oh, I know it's true. I find it ironic since that's what they've wanted for so long. After all their complaining that they aren't getting what they want - they get it and still unhappy. Perhaps it'd be better if Aaron got his own spin off where it was all about him. That would make everybody happy.

It's just so romantic, all the hell they've been through to get to this place in themselves and their relationship.

But that's what caused poor lovely Ash's clock to keep flashing 12.00 and confusing him. Doug should get a damn good slap - this whole thing was HIS fault.
Actually, the whole thing is Finn's fault. if he hadn't been so insistent in finding Emma, bringing her back to the village and then keeping her there, none of this mayhem would have ensued. He should be garrotted on the village green as an example to all of the dangers of not leaving well alone!

It would be good if Robert and Aaron became just like any other couple, so that the fact that they're gay is not an issue I mean, allowing them to get up to all sorts of nefarious activites without the action being always centred around them being gay. The problem is that they would then stick out like a sore thumb in Emmerdale, because none of the couples in the show are 'just like any other couple' are they?!

They'd stand out even more than they do now!

I think the closest to a normal couple is probably Vic and Adam - or Doug and Diane/Bob and Brenda maybe?

Oh, its so confusing isn't it

The fact that they are gay is not an issue though. I don't have a problem seeing a gay relationship play out on screen - in fact I welcome it. If this is not what you were implying that's fair enough.

If you're talking about everything in Aaron's life being about his sexuality then I agree with you. He's lacking in personality and is more of a characateur than a character. I don't see where the character could go from here, really. He's been through nearly every possible trauma available for a soap character.
There's no ordinary couples in Emmerdale this is certain, but once they're married what then? Where do they go from there? It's all happening very quickly resulting in a lack of drama.

It would have been better had I said same sex, rather than gay.

I have to say that I do not feel that, in his current stint, everything about Aaron is about his sexuality. There was a strong element of that in his first stint, but not this one. Sexuality has, though, been an important part of Robert's story since his return. To my mind, Aaron has developed as a character and is now completely at ease with his sexuality. Robert hasn't quite reached that point yet.

I have to say that I was expecting Aaron to die last week, although I would have been very sad to see him go, simply because he has been put through so many traumas that I'm struggling to think 'what next?'. So, we'll just have to wait and see what the show has in store for them. There is plenty of room for character growth for both characters, both separately and together, but I feel that they will need to call a day on the trauma, for the time being at least. Danny Miller would be very good in lighter more humorous storylines, I think, so that might be a good direction for a while. I can see Aaron developing into a good publican, in the fullness of time.

Adam & Victoria have led a happy and stable married life thus far without becoming utterly uninteresting, or losing touch with the village action. Perhaps Robert & Aaron can follow the same path. Indeed, those two pairs are the only two young relationships on the go in Emmerdale just now - they'll be good for the odd foursome evening out, if nothing else!

I've got a story idea for them. Victoria could agree to be a surrogate for Robron using her egg and Aaron's sperm but it turns out the baby is actually Adam's leading to a huge custody battle. We could even have Robert knowing the truth but switching the baby's DNA test results so it looks like Aaron is the father.

There is a germ of an idea in here, but I think the whose baby and DNA swapping has been done too much already - but having Vic just acting as a surrogate without the other complications could be an interesting move?

Well you have to have some drama, I don't think her just being a surrogate is enough, unless they go the route that Corrie did with Tina/Izzy/Gary and have Victoria try to keep the baby for herself.

No thanks.

There are more than enough kids in the show, as it is.

That sounds like a sure-fire vote winner Mark.
I think you should tweet this idea to Maxine Alderton - she'll be looking for new ideas after the wedding
