Emmerdale Spoilers 18th - 22nd January 2016

[suzewebb]

Ive been wondering that?!

We can be confused together. Anyone else want to join this confused club?

[LauBuch]

Robron fans, I'm sorry, but I just don't get why you'd want those two together? Aaron has some serious issues he needs to deal with and Rob is just...a bit of a psycho.
Relationships should be the last thing on both their minds! I definitely think Aaron deserves a boyfriend at some point, someone who makes him truly happy, but that ain't Robert...

Is nikhil staying or going...so confused!!!

Robron have amazing chemistry & the actors work well together - is the main reason they make a lot of these other affairs look like dead wood by comparison.

While I agree Aaron will not be in the right head space of a relationship for a while this needs careful and slow build up and the relationship when it was an affair wasn't equal with Robert dominating things and at times manipulating things it would be interesting to see how it would be with a relationship in the open with them on equal footing with each other, it will change the dynamics. Robert's also been in denial about his sexuality which needs to be addressed really. Yes Robert has done some awful things trying to control people in his own way there was logic & he had his reasoning but at lot it was him panicking in situations with disastrous results the majority of it wasn't premeditated, the fact he loves Aaron always comes out clear.

From the spoilers out there that I've seen it seems Robert's going to step up and redeem himself in the support he'll give to Aaron when he needs it most.

While he has done some terrible things previously, since his shooting he's done some selfless acts for others redeeming himself a fair bit including covering for Andy when he could of sent him to prison showing despite everything he loves his brother, getting Aaron out of prison knowing he was innocent & supporting Diane in her illness too as well as testifying favourably for Chrissie showing he wanted to right some of his wrongs, he even let Ross get away with shooting him at least without resorting to bloodshed a sure sign he's learnt lessons from what he's done before.

no now Jai knows about her pregnancy she doesnt need to leave

[tammyy2j]

no now Jai knows about her pregnancy she doesnt need to leave

But I didn't think she wanted him anywhere near her or her the child

[Perdita]

I think now that the villagers know too she might feel a bit safer now to stay as she seems to have most of their support ... and of course it will provide an opportunity for good storylines about paternity, access etc
