Also if it was just about revenge then it makes no sense that he would cover for him when Andy tried to murder him.
Back in the day they seemed very happy when they finally got together and both gave up so much to be with each other, Robert was willing to give up his family for her which doesn't logically apply with the theory that it was some grand ploy to oust Andy from the sugdens.
I also don't understand her complete desperation to catch him having an affair ten years later, yes he was horrible and petulant to her when he returned but that doesn't explain why she became utterly obsessed with him to the point of ruining her own marriage.
I think she still hand unresolved feelings for him. Nicola picked up on this early on when they returned and said to Katie about Robert " only the way you were looking at him, I think there might be a candle still burning".
There is also a scene where he is flirting with Alicia and Katie spitefully sneers to chas about Alicia " thrusting her cleavage at him" she seemed jealous that Alicia might be getting his attentions.”
who knows if ED would have made katie that obsessed if the actress wasn't leaving?
