    "The evidence is stacked against Aaron!"

    Danny Miller reveals why Aaron is the number-one suspect in Robert's shooting

    >What happens at the police station? Does Aaron crack under pressure?
    "He's actually relatively cocky. He's got to know the law and the way that police ask questions in interviews. He knows himself that he's not going down for attempted murder because the police will find that the ball-bearing dust from the gun won't have come from him. But he seems to forget that he's only out on licence..."

    >If it's not him, then does Aaron think he knows who the shooter is?
    "He has his own theories about how it happened but he can't work out who actually shot Robert. The big problem is that Robert upset so many people in the village - any one of those suspects could have pulled the trigger, so it's difficult to guess!"

    What this suggests definitely has a twist about it.

    "the police will find that the ball-bearing dust from the gun won't have come from him"

    What I think this means is that forensics won't match Aaron's shiny gun with gun residues found at the scene, or the ammo if they got this from Robert's body.

    What I think could have happened was that Robert was maybe carrying his own gun which fell out of Robert's pocket when he fell. So, when Aaron ran up to Chas and Robert after Robert had been shot in the dark, Aaron found this gun on the floor near Chas and put it into his pocket, thinking that Chas had shot Robert. Maybe it was just a ball-bearing gun?

    If Robert dropped his own gun like this, it suggests that he was shot with a different gun by one of the other villagers or an outsider. As Chrissie's bracelet was found around the bushes, it suggests that the other gun was used there and was Lachlan's gun, taken at the same time as the bracelet from the Home Farm safe.

    More spoilers are now needed to confirm or bin this idea! I suspect that when Robert wakes up, he might just say that it is his shiny gun which Aaron found?

    I don't think he is covering for him. I think he's covering for someone else who was also wandering around with the gun on the night but who didn't get to shoot Robert. That, or Aaron was up to something dodgy himself on the night.

    "The evidence is stacked against Aaron!"

    Danny Miller reveals why Aaron is the number-one suspect in Robert's shooting

    >Hi, Danny! How is Aaron coping in the wake of Robert's shooting?
    "Well, Aaron keeps saying he didn't do i, but that's what all the suspects are saying! He feels lost; the only person he can confide in is Paddy, but Paddy is a suspect too because he doesn't have an alibi. He needs to take on advice from people who matter, but Chas is a total mess too."

    >Is he worried that mum Chas was the one who pulled the trigger?
    "He knows she either shot Robert or had a part in it because the blood was quite literally on her hands. Aaron is panicked, questioning whether his mum could go that far..."

    >Aaron is hiding something, though...
    "The viewers aren't going to realise what it is until further down the line. He is witholding something, but he's keeping quiet about it for a reason!"

    >What are Aaron's feelings towards Robert now, do you reckon?
    "I think at this stage Aaron despises him. When Robert hit him with those home truths at the scrapyard, it broke his heart. I think Aaron was feeling slightly murderous; his anger has moved to a level that he's never experienced before. In the last year, Aaron's temper has calmed down, but he had to lie and cheat for Robert for so long - and he hates him for that."

    >Is Aaron rattled when Adam confronts him about the gun?
    "It's one of those things where he's faced with the truth, and there's no getting away from it. Adam knows he's seen a video of Aaron hiding the gun, and like a true best mate he wants to talk to Aaron first without calling the police. So Aaron knows that Adam has this video - but he's not aware that it's also been uploaded to social media."

    >Is Adam on Aaron's side, though?
    "They've been through so much, it's almost like a brother's code with these two; they've always had each other's back. Adam just wants to help Aaron out regardless of the fact that Robert is his wife's brother. His main priority is to save Aaron's skin."

    >So how does Aaron feel when the police turn up and arrest him?
    "Complete panic, because he knows there's nothing he can do - the gun has been found and his fingerprints are on it. Whether Aaron did shoot Robert or not, the evidence is now stacked against him. He's on a suspended licence, and now he's been found with a firearm. He's at serious risk of getting sent to prison."

    >How do the the other villagers react?
    Well, when someone is arrested, regardless of whether they're innocent or not, people immediately assume they're guilty. Everybody knows Aaron is violent, but he's not the sort of person who would pick up a gun and shoot someone."

    >What happens at the police station? Does Aaron crack under pressure?
    "He's actually relatively cocky. He's got to know the law and the way that police ask questions in interviews. He knows himself that he's not going down for attempted murder because the police will find that the ball-bearing dust from the gun won't have come from him. But he seems to forget that he's only out on licence..."

    >How would Aaron cope if he got sent back to prison?
    "Aaron's tried very hard to learn from his stupid mistakes. He really had turned a corner. Going back inside would make him lose his faith in everything, and return him to a dark place he doesn't want to be in."

    >If it's not him, then does Aaron think he knows who the shooter is?
    "He has his own theories about how it happened but he can't work out who actually shot Robert. The big problem is that Robert upset so many people in the village - any one of those suspects could have pulled the trigger, so it's difficult to guess!"

    >Have you enjoyed this big storyline?
    "Yeah, I've loved all the stuff that has happened since Katie's death, and this story is almost the climax of it all. It's interesting for me to watch it from a viewer's perspective, seeing how it al fits together. It's times like these that I'm so glad I decided to come back to Emmerdale."

    Danny Miller interview for Soaplife, 10-23 Oct 2015 edition

    It's looking bleak for Aaron!

    Aaron's back behind bars and he fears the worst when he's accused of shooting ex-lover Robert, says Danny Miller...

    By Sally Brockway

    One by one, the chief suspects in the Robert Sugden shooting mystery have come into the frame. Lawrence White has admitted to the crime, now it's Aaron Livesy's turn to take the blame when Adam Barton finds video footage of him hiding a gun. 'There's nothing he can say about it when Adam confronts him with the truth', says actor Danny Miller, who plays the cornered mechanic. 'But they've been mates for so long and Adam wants to help him out.' That may be, but when Victoria Sugden posts the video on online, the police come knocking. Will Aaron be charged with attempted murder?

    How has Aaron been feeling in the wake of the shooting
    He's had mixed emotions. He feels lost and the onlyperson he can confide in is Paddy. The trouble is, Paddy's a suspect too, so Aaron doesn't know where to turn.

    We can't keep up with the plot! Why has Aaron got a gun?
    Like everyone else, Aaron's hiding something. All the suspects are either witholding information or admitting to things they didn't do to protect other people. Aaron saw the gun close to Chas' feet after the shooting and he hid it to protect her. He doesn't want her to go down. He'd be lost without her.

    Could Aaron be the shooter?
    Aaron loves Robert, but anybody with a lot of anger and nothing to lose could kill someone.

    Why has Adam got footage of Aaron hiding the weapon?
    He made a video for baby Johnny at the scrapyard and caught Aaron hiding the gun in the background. Adam's upset that Aaron didn't confide in him as they're best mates and they've been through so much together. But Adam isn't the problem. Unbeknown to Aaron, Victoria uploads the video on a social networking site.

    Tell us what happens when the police show up...
    Aaron's in utter panic. He knows the gun's been found and there's nothing he can do about it. His fingerprints are all over it and the evidence is stacked against him. Regardless of what happens, he'll be sent to prison because he's already serving a suspended sentence and any trouble with the police means he'll be locked up.

    If Aaron didn't shoot Robert, then who did?
    well, he hopes it isn't Chas. He thinks the gun was planted at her feet by a stranger.

    How does Aaron hold up under police questioning?
    He's relatively cocky because he's got to know the law and how police question people. He doesn't think he'll go down for attempted murder because the forensic evidence won't point to him.

    How do you think he'd cope if he's sent back to prison?
    It isn't where Aaron wants to be. Yes, he has a violent side and he isn't afraid of a fight, but he's tried really, really hard to turn his life around. He doesn't want to be that person who's in and out of prison. He's done nothing wrong, yet he might end up back inside. It would make him want to give up on the justice system altogether and think, 'What's the point?'

    These Danny Miller interviews confirm a lot.

    First off, Aaron finds Aaron's gun near Chas' feet after Robert has been shot on Friday night, September 25th.

    Second off, When Aaron has been arrested for attempting to murder Robert, the forensics show later that Aaron's gun wasn't the one that was used to shoot Robert. It follows that the gun Aaron found near Chas' feet is a new gun which is a complete twist to what everyone expected. Chas seems completely unaware of the gun, she was most likely in shock when Robert got shot and it was dark too so she probably didn't even realise it was near her feet anyway. Aaron ran onto the scene, some 20 seconds after the shooting, clearly saw the gun on the ground and put it into his pocket, assuming that Chas had used it to shoot Robert with. Although Aaron tried to get Chas to quickly move away from the crime scene, Chas was too shocked to do so before other villagers (like Dan) were there too.

    Third off, Chrissie's bracelet (taken from the Home Farm safe earlier with Lachlan's gun) was found to have been dropped near the crime scene, apparently around the bushes at the back of the Woolpack.

    Here's what I think could be the storyline which fits all of the information we know right now

    Lachlan was able to get his gun and Chrissie's bracelet earlier from the Home Farm safe. He later hid in the dark in the bushes behind the Woolpack. When Lachlan took his gun from his left trouser pocket, it was dark and he didn't notice that Chrissie's bracelet fell out onto the ground. He waited for a clear shot when Chas was moving away from Robert after their heated conversation then he shot Robert. He carefully made his way unnoticed away from the Woolpack car park, waited for the commotion to die down, then walked on the road towards Home Farm. When he heard a car approaching from behind, he threw his gun into an empty field to his left before Lawrence drove up, stopped and took Lachlan to the hospital where Robert had been taken.

    Looking from the viewpoint for Robert and Chas, they had just finished their heated conversation and Chas had turned and was moving away from Robert. This was when Robert was hit in the chest, near his heart, by a piece of ammunition (either a pellet or a bullet?). Robert fell forwards onto Chas, bleeding from his chest. At this moment in the dark, Robert somehow dropped a gun he was carrying onto the ground. Chas was in too much shock to notice. Within about 20 seconds of the gunshot, Aaron ran up, saw the gun on the ground and put it into his pocket. Shortly later, Dan and other villagers appeared and gave first aid to Robert, already unconscious and unable to tell what had happened from his point of view.

    Aaron is left with a gun in his pocket. He assumes Chas used it to shoot Robert with and says nothing to her. Chas knows nothing about the gun (because she never saw it when it was on the ground in the darkness) and so she thinks that Aaron might have shot Robert. If only mother and son would talk to each other more!

    How could Robert's shooting crime be concluded?

    1) The object that Lachlan threw into the field needs to be found. If it is Lachlan's gun, it will be covered in Lachlan's fingerprints and DNA as he wasn't wearing gloves when he threw it there.

    2) Robert may wake up (around October 23rd, the one year anniversary of Ryan Hawley appearing on ITV Emmerdale as Robert Sugden on 23/10/2014) and tell that the gun Aaron found near Robert and Chas was really his ball-bearing gun which he only uses for fun around the Home Farm Estate and has permission to own?

    Emmerdale spoilers: Robert and Andy Sugden to be involved in horror stunt

    Duncan Lindsay for Metro.co.uk
    Tuesday 13 Oct 2015 10:09 am


    (Picture: ITV)

    He’s currently recovering from a bullet to the chest – but unlucky Robert Sugden is about to face death again, alongside his brother Andy.

    The warring brothers are to be involved in a dramatic stunt – but will they both emerge from it unscathed?

    Speaking to Inside Soap, actor Ryan Hawley teased: ‘I’ve been on location filming a big stunt involving Robert and Andy. It should be fantastic!’

    We don’t doubt it – whenever Emmerdale pull out the special effects, the results are usually both gripping and impressive. But what will fate have in store for the two Sugden boys?

    Emmerdale will air a flashback episode on Thursday 22nd October which will unmask the person who shot Robert.

    There are currently a number of suspects which are dividing viewers, all of whom have their own different theories.

    But it is clear from this hint from Ryan that things aren’t about to calm down for his alter-ego quite yet…

    TV Times, 17-23 October 2015

    Killer Instincts

    TV Times talks to the three prime suspects in the shooting of Robert Sugden.

    It's been hard lately to find anyone in Emmerdale who isn't in the frame for the attempted murder of Robert Sugden but, as the investigations continue, the list of prime suspects has been whittled down to three men with a grudge - Paddy Kirk, Aaron Livesy and Robert's brother Andy Sugden.

    Who pulled the trigger? You'll find out this week in a special extended episode to mark the show's 43rd birthday, as the clock is turned back and we see exactly what happened in the moments leading up to his gunning down.

    Here's what stars Kelvin Fletcher (Andy), Danny Miller (Aaron) and Dominic Brunt (Paddy) had to say about this gripping hour of television, the second of two episodes on Thursday...

    by Sally Brockway

    Kelvin Fletcher

    >Why would Andy want to kill Robert?
    He might fell he owes it to Katie. When he was about to marry her, it was the happiest time in his life. Everything had clicked into place and Robert took it all away. It wasn't just the fact that Robert killed her - after confessing, he lied about it and made everyone think that Andy was losing his mind. Throughout their lives Robert has continually crushed Andy and this time he has gone too far.

    >Is Andy really capable of murder?
    On the face of it, no he isn't. His heart is good. He is a genuine and sensitive person, but Robert has taken him to a dark place. He has pushed him to the limits and anyone can snap under that kind of pressure.

    >Would you like Andy to be the one who pulled the trigger?
    There's a tendency for would-be killers to get their comeuppance in soap, but my worry about things that aren't under my control. It might mean my days in the show are numbered, but it's an opportunity to showcase what little talent I may have as an actor, and that is what you strive for.

    >Have you enjoyed this storyline?
    It has been amazing to play Andy's grief and anger and these storylines are good fun to film. The actual shooting was filmed at night and it's quite exciting to be up working when everyone else is in bed. The best bit is driving home afterwards with no traffic on the roads!

    >What can you tell us about this week's big reveal?
    I think it's unique. I haven't seen anything like it in soap before and I'm certain that the viewers will enjoy it.

    Dominic Brunt

    >Why would Paddy want to kill Robert?
    Robert has got his claws into Aaron and, being a father figure to Aaron, Paddy doesn't like that. There's also the fact that Robert has tried to kill Paddy twice and threatened his family.

    >Is Paddy really capable of murder?
    He's not your typical killer, but Paddy wants Robert out of the way at all costs and I think he would go a long way to achieve that. When Robert visited him in hospital and threatened his family, Paddy said, 'I will kill you before I let you do that', and he meant it.

    >Have you enjoyed this storyline?
    Yes, I have, because working with Ryan Hawley, who plays Robert, has been fantastic. He's one of my favourite actors on the show. I think he's a revelation. And in real life he's lovely - nothing like Robert at all. The hardest bit for me was the night shoots. I left work when the sun came up and I had to pull over at the services to have a sleep as my head was nodding.

    >What can you tell us about this week's big reveal?
    I don't want to give anything away, but it is really different.

    >Would you like Paddy to be the one who pulled the trigger?
    Yes. Absolutely. It's great for Paddy to be at the heart of some brilliant Emmerdale storylining.

    Danny Miller

    >Why would Aaron want to kill Robert?
    I'd say he is the biggest suspect of all. Robert really has put him through the mill and ruined his life. He's the sort of person Aaron shouldn't be anywhere near, but he keeps going back because he loves him - even though he has ripped his heart out several times. After everything Robert has done - hiring a hitman to kill Chas, attempting to murder Chas and finishing Katie off, Aaron has every reason to want to shoot him.

    >Is Aaron really capable of murder?
    The fans might think that Aaron wouldn't do it because he loves Robert, but anyone with a bit of anger and nothing to lose could kill someone, so I wouldn't put it past any of these three. Also Aaron has already shown that he can be a bit violent and if he didn't shoot Robert, he'll wish the person who pulled the trigger had done a better job of it.

    >Would you like Aaron to be the one who pulled the trigger?
    Big storylines like this are what make the soap so good and Aaron would be a great choice. However, if it was him, I would rather stay in the soap than have to go to prison!

    >Have you enjoyed this storyline?
    I've loved it. I knew this was going to happen when I first came back. I like the way everyone's pointing the finger at each other and they all have strong motives. The night shoot was fun.

    >What can you tell us about this week's big reveal?
    It's almost like a Breaking Bad thing. There's a massive twist, although it's been confusing for us actors as we have had to film so many different strands. I'm certain the audience will be shocked. It's something they won't have seen before in a soap.

    Emmerdale fans think they’ve cracked Who Shot Robert Sugden as odds are slashed on a bizarre suspect

    Duncan Lindsay for Metro.co.uk
    Wednesday 14 Oct 2015 1:34 pm

    Emmerdale fans think they might have cracked the case as bookies have dramatically slashed the odds on a very unusual suspect.

    Just over a week before the big reveal in a special flashback episode, vicar Ashley Thomas has become a hot favourite to be unmasked as the gunman.

    Yep, you know Ashley? Mild mannered, religious chap who forgave a girl for running him over?

    The inexplicable crash of Ashley through the ranks is highly unusual, but one theory doing the rounds is that he simply forgot shooting Robert due to his recent memory problems.

    No-one has yet answered the question on quite why Ashley would want to murder Robert though, but have reasoned that he has been known for losing his temper in the past when he attacked his dad Sandy.

    Here are the current odds in full if you fancy a flutter:

    Who Shot Robert: The odds

    Ross Barton 1/2
    Paddy Kirk 5/1
    Ashley Thomas 5/1
    Rakesh Kotecha 7/1
    Aaron Livesy 8/1
    Rhona Goskirk 10/1
    Lachlan White 10/1
    Adam Barton 14/1
    Andy Sugden 22/1
    Cain Dingle 25/1
    Eric Pollard 28/1
    Chrissie Sugden 40/1
    Lawrence White 40/1
    Chas Dingle 50/1
    Finn Barton 50/1
    Emma Barton 66/1
    Pete Barton 80/1
    Debbie Dingle 100/1
    Belle Dingle 100/1
    Harriet Finch 125/1
    Jai Sharma 125/1
    Victoria Sugden 125/1
    Moira Dingle 150/1
    Sam Dingle 150/1
    Diane Sugden 200/1
    Charity Dingle 200/1
    Doug Potts 200/1
    Edna Birch 400/1
    David Metcalfe 400/1
    Pearl Ladderbanks 400/1
    Rishi Sharma 400/1
    Sandy Thomas 400/1

    Poll: 'So, did Ashley shoot Robert?'

    YES - He's the culprit 21%
    NO - Behave, people 79%

    I really don't think that the betting odds for 'Who shot Robert' are for now (if ever?) any sort of real indicator about 'Who really shot Robert'.

    For a start, some of the characters with betting odds had alibis and/or no obvious motive for killing Robert, and let's be clear on this, that gunshot to Robert's heart area really seems to have been meant to be a fatal shot by whoever shot him.

    The current betting odds seem to me to be almost random and to make no real sense on any kind of Emmerdale fan basis when any knowledge about known future spoilers, actor contract details, and detailed Emmerdale history about the characters and storylines are taken account of.

    I really do not understand why Ashley right now has such a high rating at the bookies. Yes, he might have the onset of dementia/Altzheimer's right now(?) but this in no way means that he would be capable of, or have any kind of motive for, shooting Robert and then (script-conveniently?) forgetting it. We know that Ashley got a mobile phone call from someone in the afternoon of September 25th just after Andy had driven off at speed after being upset over Katie-related issues. My impression is that Ashley was being told on his mobile phone about some kind of appointment later that day? Maybe this was a Village Hall social function for later that night. We know from Chrissie's later police interview that she said she was at the Village Hall that night and then walked home and got a mobile phone call/voicemail from Lawrence (after Robert had been shot, Chrissie didn't reply to the call at the time, however). I think that there was a social function at the Village Hall late on September 25th and that people there included Ashley, Laurel, Eric, Chrissie, amongst others? Maybe the function overran so Ashley couldn't show up on-time at the cafe for the 'Detective' Night?

    Just why Ross has such a high rating at the bookies for shooting Robert is puzzling for me? Ross had no obvious real motive for shooting Robert, other than for Ross receiving money from a third party. Maybe this could have been Lawrence (Lawrence and Bernice got back from holiday on September 24th, the day before Robert got shot). I suspect that the majority of betting people do not have any real claim as for being any sort of 'Emmerdale fans' with any knowledge of future storylines or past history and that these betting people have just assumed that Ross has an 'obvious Emmerdale hitman character profile' and just made speculative bets on this limited-knowledge basis?

    Although it would be a terrific twist that Robert's shooter was aiming at Chas but missed, the shooter in this scenario of course could not have been Emma, as Emma and James left Emmerdale on Thursday September 17th to look after Nana Barton who had just suffered a stroke. Emma and James didn't return to Emmerdale until Monday October 12th, so James and Emma were on 'actor holiday' when Robert was shot during the September 25th TV episode. Of course, we could maybe still be looking at a hitman contract set up by someone to shoot Chas dead but this really seems too complicated for me, even as an Emmerdale Kate Oates 'fast' storyline?

    As far as I can tell, Paddy clicked with Tess in the singles bar and then maybe did some sort of 'canoodling' with her before she either dropped him off from her car near Emmerdale or he really did walk from Robblesfield, 3 miles away from Emmerdale. In any case, Paddy's location when Marlon stopped next to him from Marlon's taxi on the road from Robblesfield was totally wrong for Paddy to be anywhere near where we now know/think where Robert was shot from (from outside the rear door of Bernice's beauty shop in Pear Tree Cottage). We can time when Paddy got talked to by Marlon by when a police car drove past to go to Emmerdale in response to an emergency call after a report had been made that someone had been shot in the village. So for me Paddy is not a credible suspect for shooting Robert.

    We have now entered a new Chas stalker storyline. I suspect that some of Chas's most personal incidents are sleep-walking-related? Just how could someone secretly sneak upstairs in the pub to Chas's bedroom and empty some things from her wardrobe onto the floor without her waking? Chas does not have a heavy drink habit as far as I am aware, so unless her natural sleep is very deep or she has been taking sleeping pills without telling us, then I do think she would normally have noticed anyone making some kind of noise in her bedroom or when someone trashed the bar downstairs leaving broken glass and bottles. I believe that Chas is of sound mind but anyone could have sleep-walking issues, maybe for her now that she is under intense stress (with adopted son Aaron in jail right now for gun possession and suspected attempted murder)?

    As for Robert's shooter, I still think that the most likely suspect is Lachlan for now, although Ross is a dark character and he may be the shooter too (but unlikely, I think, for now, unless Lawrence offered him shed-loads of cash to do it?).

    Since the Wednesday 14th episode showing the crimescene reconstruction, I've noticed a number of new things and now have a new character under suspicion. If Robert's shooter does turn out to be this person then the village really would be rocked if this became general knowledge amongst the villagers. We, as TV viewers, only know for now that we will be shown who shot Robert on September 25th. It is not clear for now if the Emmerdale villagers will know what we will know after Thursday October 22nd or whether they will have to eventually work it out for themselves. Maybe the whole story about Robert's shooting and who did it comes out just before Kate Oates leaves Emmerdale as Series Producer in December 2015? Time will tell.
