My emotional support Robron

I really used to love his fun, quirky ways, his connection with Nicola, all of that.

But now? He's just some weirdo, coming across as lazy and workshy without the fun bits inbetween.

Where did his friendship with Robert go? That was fun.

And despite me not being a Kev-fan at all - there was one fun joke in there, that I could get behind: "You call yourself a barrister" "You take that back, I would never work for a court of law"

Sorry, but it was really good

And: Is she investigating the Sugdens AND the Tates? Or is she genuine towards Robert and in fact is doing undercover work about the Tates?

All those photos - Did I spot a picture of Jamie there?

She's still an enigma to me. Why did she meet John in December? Why does it look like that was spring? And how will she be back? Through Sarah or Charity? Because of her job at the pub?

Or will it be police business after all? Also, it hasn't been explained yet, why she was at the police station the other day, right?

I think they'll have her storyline revolves by the time Vic comes back. Isabel wants to start shooting in September, right? That would bring her back in November. Enough time resolve all conflicts and start new ones for Vic and her.

Oh, Emmerdale, don't screw that up, I hope it'll be great.

Something must have been gone down. The writing is horrible ever since January 5th. They rewrote history and characters. Everything feels inconsistent and superficial. There doesn't seem to be common thread, just some short stories, forgotten about the week after.

And no hug from Aaron? No kiss? No properly worried Aaron?

All of these daramtically announced summer storylines are really falling flat.

the show loves to insert Robert into feminine tropes (like being a golddigger, using promiscuity as his primary form of manipulation, his physical fights being generally amusing or very 'cat fight' like, even viewing his ambition as an aggressive or negative thing), but this is the most they've ever actually stated it i think. it's interesting...

I know, in the past some people (mainly men) regarded these traits as particularly female, but I never saw them as feminine tropes when it came to Robert. In fact, isn't it a bit sexist in the year 2026 to see a man acting like this and think: "Ah, feminization!"? In my opinion, Robert has always been his own character. Not delicate, not butch. He was intelectual, studious, a bit snobby and posh.

Or is it to belittle Robert? Or is it simple homophobic?
