Emmerdale fans are in for a major surprise as one of the soap’s most iconic characters, Robert Sugden, is set to make a dramatic return to the village next month in an explosive new storyline.
Ryan Hawley, who last appeared on the ITV soap in 2019, is reprising his role for a short but emotional comeback that promises to shake up the lives of some of the show's most beloved characters. Viewers were left devastated when Robert was written out after receiving a life sentence for the murder of rapist Lee Posner, leaving behind a trail of broken hearts, most notably his husband, Aaron Dingle.
Now, in a shocking twist, Robert is believed to be returning for none other than Aaron’s upcoming wedding, to Robert’s own brother, John Sugden, who also happens to be the man responsible for Robert’s downfall. The tangled web of family, betrayal, and unresolved emotions is set to take centre stage in what insiders are calling one of the year’s most gripping soap plots.
A source close to the show told The Sun, “Ryan has a lot of respect for Emmerdale and its fans, and he really wanted to give them a treat, so he agreed to come back for a brief stint. The storyline is packed with tension and emotion, and his return will send shockwaves through the village.”
While ITV has yet to officially confirm the full details of the storyline, Hawley’s return is already generating huge buzz among soap fans eager to see how his reappearance will impact Aaron and the wider Sugden family.
