Also i see panic in the fandom that Lachlan is going to tell Aaron about the kiss but unless i;m remembering wrong, Lachlan wasn't there when the kiss happened. He turned up only to hear Robert saying that he was loyal and them talking about the stuff whilst with Chrissie. The worst he can say is that Robert told her he is committed to Aaron

Morning all.
God I didn't get to bed until about 2, too busy sat up watching Robrons scene lol Monday can't come quick enough!!Now that I've kinda come back down to earth after that scene, I've found just 1 problem with the last scene Robert had with Rebecca.. now everything was going great, I was so happy with him.. then she asks for one last kiss.. now that's where I got abit lost as Robert says "then you'll keep Aaron out of it" & goes in but stops last minute to tell her she no longer does it for him! I'm stuck on what that was all about as he'd already kissed her playing along with her just to completely reject her in a total Robert style way lol.. so I don't get what that last almost kiss was actually about ![]() ![]() The whole thing still feels very ploty and not much sense. I think they were trying to portray that Robert is done with that life style and cheating and is set on Aaron. They just did it in a clunky way. |

![]() I love how Robert used Beks, she just solidified his feeling for Aaron and his view that he wanted to be loyal and committed to Aaron without any doubt, it was a little clunky through the week but I think they closed it off well last night. Interesting Robert was specific about turning down her offer, if you think about Robert and Aaron, Rob has a wedge of cash from the divorce settlement (£500K+) plus anything else he may have stashed away beforehand. With the haulage business, not rent to pay (we assume), low overheads in the pub and he doesn't seem to spend much he should be very comfortable. Aaron should really take Gordon's inheritance, I know some would say it right he doesn't but he suffered through Gordon and if this money goes towards giving Aaron some financial security then I say so for it, it doesn't need to be an action that shows Aaron has forgiven him as we know he hasn't. With this money plus his scrap business and the same living and spending as Robert he should also be very comfortable. So, as a couple they would have say £750k+, two businesses, low overheads they would be considered in anyone book pretty well off. I hope they survive this next week (Andy I know you said Kirsten confirmed they are in the November spoilers - do you have a link to that comment?) if they do there is so much potential for them together, engagement, wedding, moving in together, business/pub, surrogacy maybe (AndyM I would suggest they send Liv to Dublin first), plus lots of other family drama + Rob being Rob. |

Why did Lachlan make his game so that Aaron was shooting Robert? Wouldn't he have put his face on there no Aaron's?

I think the whole Rebecca thing was just a plot device for the fans of Aaron and Robert, if you analyse it from a logical sense nothing in this story made sense. I think because they made such a mess of the Chrissie and Robert split and never made it clear that Robert wanted Aaron over Chrissie, I think this was their way of making that clear. But it made for a slightly mess series of scenes. I posted this in the a MF
What was suppose to be the narrative for Rebecca's pursuit of Robert during the last few episodes? I get the whole thing was pretty much fan service for Robert and Aaron fans so he can turn down an attractive woman with wealth and explain Aaron is what he loves.But I don't understand what her motivation was, why was she offering him money to have a life with her after several times of him saying he loves Aaron. How would she be able to offer him an affluent lifestyle anyway? Surely if Rebecca came home to tell them "pops" she was now sewing Robert she would have been sent packing without a penny. Are we suppose to believe she is so desperately in love with him she would be willing to take risk the of being disowned by her family and seele for the fact he only wanted her for the money (she was still Coming on to him when he told her she was easy and he wanted Aaron) just to get her hands on him? Are we suppose to belivie that she hates chrissie that much she just wants to parade Robert under her nose? not sure chrissie would be to fussed anyway. I really don't get what her angle was suppose to be. Also adding to this with what Amy was saying above why was Rebecca desperate for one last kiss, did she think if she got him to kiss her lust would take over and she could get him into bed. Or was she really just after a kiss?. Her motivations and desires in this make little sense.

I know I'm in the minority here (maybe even of one) but I find Lachlan to be sympathetic, he's just seems so unhappy and isolated. He's turned out the way he has beacause of dismal parenting, his dad has no intrest in him and his granddad throw money as a response to everything and turned on him because he couldn't accept his sexuality.
Robert who he saw as a father figure was only pretending to care for finanicial gain and his mum is so self obsessed she moves men in and out of his life without a thought of his mental health, she literally moved her husbands ex boyfriend into her home a week after she started seeing him, then rubbed herself on him every time he entered a room regardless of wether her son was present or nor. No wonder he's so screwed up. |

Lachlan is def. the result of shitty parenting. Chrissie/Lawrence just throw money at him and cover for him. They enable him instead of helping him. Chrissie just made things worse for him after shooting Andy.
His game of Robron was disturbing to say the least. That being said I still dont feel bad for him and want him gone. sexual assault is something I can never get over. |

Did anyone spot Danny completely cracking up in the Paddy scene and trying to hide it by covering his mouth with the dreaded green jumper?

Tbh I have some sympathy with Lachlan.. he's a very trouble & unhappy young man.. which I blame Chrissie & Lawrence for, even Donny. I couldn't stand him early last year.. I still don't like the kid now but I do have sympathy.. he's such a lonely miserable lad, to ever think my son's could grow up to be so unhappy & troubled.. idk it's actually quite sad.
I'm intrigued by this bath scene with Aaron, like omg but also Roberts topless scene too After last night's scene I don't feel like ED are scared to give us something that we actually wouldn't expect.. Robert grabbing Aaron's belt pulling him in was a move I never saw coming at all.. keep it up ED & ignore any arrogant viewers I'm looking forward too been surprised, the bar is seriously high for Monday's ep & I'm not at all worried that we might be let down

My friend thinks rob's discussion with vic about proposing tonight was foreshadowing.
she thinks Aaron will be badly affected somehow (after the disaster) and tell robert he cant marry him. OR the proposal is delayed for a few weeks/months? and when it happens again, Aaron will be the one who will propose. thoughts?? she says vic is so sure aaron will say yes, but we also know 'tomorrow everything changes...' |

The Rebecca stuff doesn't make sense because she's just a plot decide, has been given really clunky dialogue and is a bad actress. It was only just saved by Ryan's acting.
I would have liked more conversation between Robert and Vic about how/why/when decided to propose, it all felt really rushed. And in regards to Robert's sexuality, I read an article recently about pansexuality and how people aren't attracted by gender but fall in love with a person for who they are, I know I'm not explaining it well but it really made me think of Robert. He's never wanted a label, gets annoyed when anyone mentions him being gay, yet is very comfortable in being Aaron's boyfriend, being in a relationship with a man and nearly everyday he's either telling Aaron or someone else how he's in love with him. He's happy and confident in his relationship and the gender of the person he is in love with is irrelevant to him. |

Robert wasn't a father figure to Lachlan really, half the time he couldn't care less and was mainly just trying to impress Chrissie when he showed an interest.
Compare it to how he is with Liv, fair enough they aren't amazingly close, but i think that's just cus that's how Robert is with kids in general, but you can tell he does care about Liv and is serious about them being a family. Shes important to him because she's important to Aaron. |

Did he see Robert as a father figure?. I never got that impression. He had none of the affection Aaron has/had for Paddy, for example. Lachlan seems contemptuous of every male character he comes across.
Why waste screen time showing charcthers bond or an attraction devolp so that tend will be more believable and have a impact when you decide to do sow thing with them when you can blow things up and put someone in hospital every Thursday. But going back to your point they did this with the scene where chrissie pretended to burn Robert alive, and Lachlan was crying because he was leaving and told him he expected it from Donnie " but you're the closest thing to a proper dad that I've ever known" and begged him not to go. When the affair came out their was also a few scenes where he said he thought Robert was more like a dad than a real one but it was all lies. |

One thing that might be good to come out f this is the opportunity to see some good Rbert/Liv scenes if Aaron is hurt. That might be an opportunity for them to become closer and would be nice scenes to watch.
