Aaron&Robert Sugden-Dingle

I would agree with this if they weren’t about to kill off Jimmy but yeah, (right now) you are correct they are happy despite not seeing them.

It’s a soap. Soaps aren’t subtle, if they wanted you to think Robron aren’t happy and there’s rifts or are on the rocks they would. Robron are literally just having a disagreement that is all. And people are really over exaggerating the amount of times Robron have been arguing this year, in proportion to how much they’ve been on we’ve had equally happy to arguing (the only times being this Serena story and the I’d stuff which he got over after one ep). And all the other main couples are being written exactly the same too, you either have drama or you aren’t on screen as a couple and ‘happy’ moments always precursor drama now. I know it’s not popular but I’m perfectly fine with how Robron are right now, like get me to next week where Aaron fights Ross for Robert.

I agree! Happy couples are allowed to have disagreements, anyone who knows robron well will know this is NOT an arguement.

They don’t have to have a strictly happy scene to be in a happy relationship for fuck sake!

Robert talking about how much he loves Aaron to Serena is him being happy!

Aaron having Robert on his phone wallpaper and wanting to spend time alone with Robert is him being happy!

Oh yeah…they’re completely unhappy and miserable together…(fyi you don’t need to smile to be happy)

I know people seem to think the show doesn’t care or have any interest in robron but the show have literally put a lot of time and effort into developing Robron behind the scenes (even if it’s not replicated onscreen so far).

They had Robron get engaged during corriedale which was a history making crossover between ITV’s two decades long soaps and a show that was HEAVILY promoted for months and took weeks to film alone. When being created and written they had to make the active decision to have them get engaged during the crossover and not only that but some research was made based on the things that was said between them ‘what is it with us and country roads’ ‘messed up forever’ etc

Why? When it's completely ruining everything they are/were? Sorry but I don't get this point of view at all.

I’ve literally explained why in this very same anon….I’m not repeating myself 😭

They haven’t ruined anything, people are just living in the past! They’re happy! They aren’t screaming and shouting at eachother over Robert lying, hiding things and scheming, they aren’t shouting and screaming over cheating and most importantly is no third-party love triangle, they’re having a mere disagreement (that will be resolved by next week based on spoilers) by a new family member to keep Robron involved in current dramas instead of keeping them off screen. I’d rather take that over the shit that’s happened in the past.

It’s also done different I’d say because as much as it’s clear to all of us that John was an abuser/aarons abuser the show doesn’t see it that way, that’s why they keep having people tell Aaron John did really love him. The same way Kev was clearly Roberts but the show doesn’t want to touch on that either. And Aaron also didn’t it that way for Robert and vice versa, and it’s not the fault of the characters more so the writers who just for some reason don’t wanna acknowledge that the ‘pyshco husbands’ were abusive to Robron. Which is why I hate this has become Robert vs Aaron again when it isn’t and shouldn’t be because they’re just both victims of a situation that writers don’t want to admit they wrote.

I will honestly say I’m actually glad we’re finally getting some John aftermath even if it’s a bit messily written right now but I’m willing to let it play out because I have wanted this.

Like I wouldn’t included Jimmy and Nicola in that list but they barely appear together as is and tomorrow seems like they’re gonna fall out over Jimmy skipping work too.

Yeah exactly!

Unfortunately, Emmerdale are just living in a plot-driven, badly written world right now. It’s a soap, sometimes they ALL have their moments like this but they do end up moving along at some point before they enter that era again. When Emmerdale will overcome it is a mystery.

I personally don’t believe any of the John and Serena stuff because it makes no sense when Robert and Vic’s side never knew him. If Serena wasn’t close-ish with their side and they never knew eachother then I’d kinda be able to believe it but it is what it is, that’s the shitting writing they’ve gone with we just have to deal with it.

But also I feel this is where the issue lies, people comparing the robron of current to the robron of past everyone would feel a lot better if they stopped doinh that. Neither of them are the same as they were back then, Robert isn’t as cocky or strong-headed and allows people to walk over him more (which could be justifed due to prison if it was written correctly) and Aaron isn’t as vulnerable or paranoid and he can very much hold is own a lot more now then he did back then.

I feel like the reason Robert sort of declined the romantic night was that he knew Serena felt left out so he was trying to make her feel welcome. But whatever it is, we know she and Aaron are ok next week.

People saying Serena is getting between Robron (because of the drama) is also a little silly to say when she literally declined having a meal with them so they could have their night in together. It wasn’t her that pulled a cheating joke on them when Aaron walked in…yet that was apparently funny and not at all disrespectful.

And also most relationships are written like that, we’d have no Robron if there was no angst, relationship miscommunication issues. I’m not really understanding this whole Robert vs Aaron thing that is going on because both Robert and Aaron have valid reasons to either not trust Serena/trust and want her around (because Robert has no other family). There’s nuance there. Plus I wouldn’t much rather this be the plot that caused issues between them than a cheating or cancer storyline, because it’s much easier to fix.

EXACTLY!!!!!

one was called aggressive and abusive and the other is “funny”

you have a picture definition of Hypocrisy! And that is what the show is doing trivialising because it is done to a man and specifically Robert!
