Umm yeah. You can tell who I think it could be, and even how he gets hold of the weapon.... Lachlan has motive just as much as Andy & Aaron do.

Yeah, so Ross doesn't pull the gun trigger for Pete. I think that maybe Ross gets interrupted and nearly caught out when someone like Moira walks into the caravan to get Pete out of bed for sleeping late when there's work on the farm to do. Of course, Lachlan isn't happy that Chrissie is facing jail because of Robert's fling with Aaron and other dodgy stuff that Robert has done to date. I guess the Emmerdale soap police won't have any idea about who might have shot Robert (as usual...) and it will all be kept within the Emmerdale village community again for a while, then who knows? I reckon I watch Emmerdale to keep my Sherlock hat dust-free and smelling of fresh country air. Haha!

Round-up:

As Victoria continues to quiz Robert about his relationship with Aaron, he maintains that he is not gay. She immediately tells Andy that she needs to call Aaron - but when Andy recognises Aaron’s mobile number, the penny drops. Andy accuses Robert of Katie’s murder and a fight ensues. Robert is arrested and in the interview room he is interrogated about his relationship with both Katie and Andy, but he manages to turn the situation around and walks free. Later he and Aaron have a confrontation – and he is left stung when Aaron calls him a pathetic greedy coward. Robert is making enemies everywhere. He first plots to turn Andy’s distress to his advantage, then he tells Lawrence that he was the one who set up the rent boy. Chas warns Robert darklythat it is time he left the village – only for Robert to be shot and taken to hospital where he flatlines and is rushed into surgery. When Marcus arrives demanding his aunt’s jewellery back, Jimmy is stunned and panics, dropping both Rodney and himself right in it. Realising that he needs to get rid of the gun – and fast – Ross throws it into the river, where he is spotted by Lachlan. Priya tells David that they have been refused planning permission and he reckons that his dad is behind it. Belle is mortified when Zakand Lisa warn Kirin to treat her properly. The pair nonetheless end up in a clinch, but are unaware that Lachlan has seen them. Debbie tells a disappointed Ross that she cannot give him what he wants and Pete looks on triumphantly as his brother feels the pain of rejection. Ross announces that he is leaving for good and Debbie feels a pang of regret. Robert fights for his life as the
villagers begin to suspect each other.

[tammyy2j]

Why does Robert admit to Lawrence now he was set him up with Connor?

[tammyy2j]

Aaron Livesy and Chas Dingle tell a huge lie about Katie Sugden as the truth about her death starts to unravel.

The pair are forced to tell Andy that Katie was planning to leave him in her final days alive, in a bid to prevent the police making an arrest.

With Andy determined to discover the truth about his wife's untimely demise, the penny stars to drop when he learns that Aaron was the last person Katie called before she died.

Andy's discovery floors a panic-stricken Aaron, who lies and says that Katie called him because she was planning to leave Andy, but he doesn't buy it and heads over to see Robert.


However, whilst he is speaking to Robert, Andy begins to put two and two together and eventually asks his nervous brother if he had anything to do with Katie's death.

Backed into a corner, Robert finally tells Andy the truth but intentionally refrains from revealing Aaron's involvement. With tensions at all-time high, a terrified Aaron also opens up about what happened, telling Chas that he helped cover up for Robert.


Although Chas is horrified by Aaron and Robert's actions, she is determined to protect her son as Robert is questioned by the police.

As Robert manages to convince everyone - including the police - that he is innocent, it all becomes too much for Andy who can't take anymore of his brother's lies.

However, Andy is left reeling when Chas guiltily covers up for Robert and Aaron by supporting their lie that Katie was planning to leave him.

Despite her lies, Chas makes her intentions clear when she tells Robert that he needs to leave the village right away, but he doesn't heed her warning.

The shock sequence of events sets the scene for Robert's shooting at the hands of a mystery assailant, but who has taken their revenge?

This storyline is way more interesting than that boring summer disaster. This Robert and Aaron storyline seems really exciting. My only fear is the shooter will be Lachlan or Andy that would be too predictable.

Robert slumps forward onto Chas after being shot. Lawrence arrives and Dan jumps into action, trying to save Robert. Bob leads a shocked Chas into the pub as the paramedics lift Robert into the ambulance. Lawrence calls Chrissie and leaves her an urgent message.

While out walking on a road, Lachlan throws something into the hedge when he sees Lawrence's car. He is visibly shaken when he's told that Robert has been shot.

If this sequence is correct, Lawrence arrives on the scene just after Robert is shot. I wonder if Lawrence is carrying/has just used the 'missing' gun from Home Farm?

Aaron is quickly on the scene too.

Lachlan is around too. He is possibly walking home from the village when Lawrence's car later passes him as it leaves the village? Does he throw the gun into the hedge? When he's told (by Lawrence from his car?) that Robert has been shot, is Lachlan 'visibly shaken' because he's guilty of shooting, or because he meant to fire at Chas, or because he had nothing to do with the shooting but has just disposed of the unused gun (or maybe he was out shooting wildlife/practicing gun firing?)?

So, it looks as if the ex-Ross gun ends up in the hedge by a road on Friday 25th?

This gun was shown on TV during Tuesday's episode when Lachlan found it in the stream. This is a heavy-duty weapon and not the type of lady-like gun you'd expect Chrissie to have had in the safe at Home Farm.

The gun Lachlan finds in the stream

During the Tuesday episode, Lachlan arrives home with the rucksack containing the gun. The script goes like this.

Lachlan:
Everything all right?

Chrissie:
He might not have been very popular with us but he appears to be catnip to the clients. That was the third one today. Won't talk to me, insists on contacting him.

Lachlan:
Well, we'll have to just get used to him not being around.

Chrissie:
Oh, ay, here's hoping.

Lachlan:
Well, he's not coming back, is he?

Chrissie:
Not if I can help it. That doesn't mean he won't try and weasel his way back in, you know what he's like.

Lachlan:
Would have been better if you'd never even met him.

Chrissie:
There's nothing I can do about that, I'm afraid.

Lachlan:
No.

(Lachlan walks away, looking at the rucksack, then looks back at Chrissie. He clearly has an idea in mind...)

So Lachlan is definitely a shooter suspect, having motive, means and opportunity on Friday 25th!

(Lachlan/Chrissie scene from about 50secs.)

[Telly Watcher]

Danny Livesy (Aaron) has this morning revealed (on live ITV television earlier today, Friday 25th) that "He's.. he's the first on the scene". Just why is Aaron dressed in all-black (but white T-shirt) like a hitman?

Dan runs over to Robert's body, jumping into action

Most real-life murders seem to have a big emotional reason behind them. So this means that Aaron, Andy, Chas, Chrissie, Lachlan and Lawrence must be top suspects?

The shooter's gun is a big detective problem right now. Is this the one from Chrissie's safe? And just how did Aaron seem to get a 'hot' gun to dispose of during week Sept 28th-Oct 2nd?

The Home Farm 'safe' security issue isn't that strong, as Thursday's Sept 22nd episode showed that Chrissie really loves wine and leaves the safe open at times. I wonder if Chrissie just passed out after a wine session and anyone present (including any visitors) at Home Farm just picked up the gun for personal use later? Open season or what?

Maybe Aaron went to Home Farm to talk to Robert and he wasn't there but Chrissie was, passed out with the safe open, so Aaron just got the gun early? Or maybe Andy called around and found the same scene with Chrissie and took the gun to shoot Robert with before giving it to Aaron to dispose of? Of course, Lachlan was always around the house, so he could have got the gun back whenever Chrissie was 'indisposed', shot Robert, panicked and thrown the gun in a hedge for Aaron to (miraculously!) find later? Or was Chas able to pick the gun up during a time when she visited and Chrissie was drunk and incapable, so Chas shot Robert at point-blank range, only for first-on-the-scene Aaron to pick up the gun and hide it on himself whilst trying to 'help' Robert but really protect Chas from any blame? Maybe Chrissie shot Robert during an alcoholic black-out, then dropped the gun for Aaron to find near the scene of the crime while she completely forgot what she had done?

I am very concerned that Aaron was 'first on the scene' (from somewhere behind Chas, of course, approaching his victim and in Robert's line-of-sight vision?). A direct chest-hit would imply that the shooter was very close? So did Aaron shoot from a nearby bush and then run to show up (dressed in nearly all-black, hitman-style!)? Aaron was always my first and remains my present #1 suspect. Love and hate are always very close emotions, just switchable like an on-off light-bulb really. But maybe Chas shot Robert up-close and personal and Aaron quickly snatched the gun off her and hid it in his pockets?

Just why is Aaron so concerned (on Wednesday October 7th) about the medics bringing Robert out of his coma. Is it that he is worried that Robert wakes and immediately says something like "Aaron/Chas, why did you shoot at me?" (or something like this) when Robert gets an immediate flashback about what he last saw before he lost consciousness?

Time will definitely tell!
