Kelvin Fletcher has said in interview before that he has a big gay following, gay friends and would like to have a gay acting role at some time.
So, could there be an Aaron/Andy (Arandy) fling someday?

Emmerdale's Kelvin Fletcher says "it's every lad's fantasy" to date a cougar

The latest plot twist – which sees his character Andy Sugden become Bernice Blackstock’s toyboy – has really fired up actor Fletcher’s imagination
.....
The former Oldham Theatre workshop student, who started training to be an actor when he was just seven years old, says he would be quite happy to play a gay role if the opportunity arose.
“I would totally do it,” he insists. “I wouldn’t hesitate. In fact I think I’d quite enjoy it. I like the idea of doing a part which, as a straight guy, is really different to me.
“I’d just see doing a gay kiss, and a gay role, as something different. Plus I have plenty of gay mates, so I could probably practice with them.”
But until a man-on-man part presents itself, Kelvin must contend with being caught in the middle of Andy’s new squeeze and his old flame on Emmerdale.

Emmerdale's Kelvin Fletcher aka Andy Sugden: I love my gay following
00:00, 18 February 2011
Updated 20:16, 26 January 2012
By Mirror.co.uk
His toned torso, rugged good looks and bulging biceps have made him one of soap’s hottest stars.
And Emmerdale’s Kelvin Fletcher has more than his fair share of admiring fans off-screen as well.
The 26-year-old plays troubled Andy Sugden who has bedded some of the show’s sexiest women – and in the months ahead there is more to come.
After being suspected of arson, this week’s powerful episodes saw the hot-headed farmer turning hero as he risked his life to rescue his first love Katie (played by Sammy Winward) from her infatuated boyfriend Nick Henshall.
Tonight’s dramatic scenes result in Andy being brought back into the village fold – and next month he starts a steamy affair with a new woman.
But despite all the female attention, actor Kelvin reckons it’s being fancied by real-life gay blokes that gives him the most satisfaction.
The straight star, who has just been photographed for gay magazine Attitude, laughs: “It’s dead flattering isn’t it? I have got a big gay following. I actually find it more flattering when a bloke comes on to you than a woman. I’ve even found myself flirting back sometimes!”
It’s easy to see why Kelvin is so popular.
Cheerful and chatty, he is down to earth with a body to die for.
As well as working out with weights three or four times a week, he regularly cycles 60 miles at a time and is also a massive rugby league fan.
Today, dressed in his off-duty jogging pants and tight T-shirt, his hard work has clearly paid off.
BUT despite appearances, Kelvin, who is single after splitting from long-term girlfriend Liz Marsland, is far from vain.
“I find it funny that I’m a pin-up,” he blushes. “People seem to always mention my body these days and I suppose I have changed but I look just like all my mates – the only difference is, I’m on TV.
“I’m like most people. I keep fit for myself. I’m not religious about it but I like to get to the gym whenever I can.
“When I’m out and about, I never get chatted up by women in an obvious way. Saying that, I do seem to get these groups of girls coming up to me when I’m out and then suddenly you’re getting your bum pinched!”
Emmerdale producers are keen to tap into the “sexy Sugden” effect too.
Kelvin smiles: “There have been times recently when I’ve had to take my top off on screen and I’ve thought, ‘Bloody hell, I look all right there’.
“I just wish they’d give me a bit more notice so I could get the fake tan on! Don’t get me wrong – I’m not vain but when I’m older I hope I’ll look back and think I looked OK a couple of times. Who wouldn’t at my age?”
So what do his mates think of his hunky sex symbol status?
KELVIN says: “They love it that Andy gets all these fit women.
“Although they’re very jealous that this is what I get to do at work.
“But most of my friends aren’t actors so they don’t take it that seriously.
“I’ve still got the same friends I’ve always had. I would be mortified if I ever heard anyone saying, ‘Do you know who I am?’, let alone me. I would find that really embarrassing.
“So I think people are shocked when they meet me because I’m not what they expect. I don’t see myself as a celeb, I’m just a normal bloke.”
Kelvin has come a long way since joining the show in 1996 as foster kid Andy.
Back then he was a geeky-looking 12-year-old, with a skinny frame and a “curtains” hairdo.
And from being a shy, awkward boy Andy has grown up to become a troubled man – with a fiery temper.
Looking back at some of his old pictures, he bursts out laughing as he says: “Oh my god, I see these and cringe.
“I mean, look at his clothes – what were they thinking of? I even look like I had a full-on perm at one stage.
“It sounds corny but I really have grown up on the show. Most people have got a few dodgy photographs tucked away from when they were younger – but mine have been seen by eight million viewers every night so it’s a lot harder to live them down.
“People make a big fuss, as if I’ve suddenly changed and bulked up, but they forget I’ve been on the show since I was 12. I’m bound to have changed.”
Like a lot of child actors, he came in for some flak from schoolmates at the time.
“You get name-calling but what can you do? You’d end up fighting everybody if you try to take them all on,” he explains. “So you just have to accept it.
“It’s weird because although you’re a child you’re expected to behave like an adult – to be professional and do a good job – so you do grow up quickly.
“But I could never fall into that trap of saying what I do for a living is really tiring. I’m very lucky in that respect.
“Compared to some of the jobs my mates do – like being a builder or a paramedic – it’s really not that tough at all.
“And I’m still that same person I always was, you just get used to being recognised.
“It’s something that has been happening to me every day for years.
“Usually I’m filling up the car or buying something for my tea when people come up and want to say hello. It is part of the job and it’s great that people think so much of the show but it’s nice to get a break.
“I was in Los Angeles recently and I loved the fact that people were chatting to me because they liked me, rather than because I’m in a TV show.”
He’s clearly comfortable in his own skin now but, during his teenage years, Kelvin considered leaving the show – and quitting acting altogether.
He recalls: “I thought about having a career change because I’d only ever known acting but I didn’t know what else I would do!
“But I did my fair share of rebelling in my teens and had fun playing pranks on people. But don’t worry – I’ve calmed down a bit now.”
Kelvin might have chilled out away from the cameras but there’s nothing calm about his on-screen alter ego.
He says: “Andy’s a real hot-head and the complete opposite to me. I just haven’t got a temper at all.
“It’s quite good fun being him – I get to let off some steam and act out all these angry scenes.
“In real life people assume I’m like Andy. If I’m out they’ll be looking at me thinking I’m the one who’ll kick off – but I’m always the peaceful one.”
Kelvin thinks his character is misunderstood – although he doesn’t agree with some of his choices.
“I’ve grown up with Andy so I understand him,” he says. “I don’t condone the bad things he’s done but he’s not evil. He’s just a stupid, angry lad.
“I feel very protective of him. When you look at everything he’s been through along the way, who wouldn’t have a few problems?
“That’s why his storylines with Katie have been so great.
“She’s the only person left now who has known him since he was young.”
As he talks through the storylines, it’s clear that Kelvin is an Emmerdale veteran now – but he doesn’t plan to roam the Dales forever.
“Don’t get me wrong, I would never think I was too good for the show but there are other things I would like to try in the future,” he says.
“I’ll always be indebted to Emmerdale and I hope at some point it will lead me to try something else...”

Does Andy shoot Robert? "He wants to get rid of him," says Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher
Andy will discover the truth about Katie's death - but does this result in him trying to kill Robert?
http://images.radiotimes.com/namedim...inal/85660.JPG
By David Brown
Andy Sugden is to fly into fierce rage next week when he finally finds out that Robert was responsible for Katie's death. But will that anger lead to him putting a bullet into his brother?
"In Andy's eyes, Robert killed Katie. And Andy has now discovered that. So Andy feels betrayed and immensely angry towards Robert for ruining the only good thing he had in his life. He's prime suspect number one," says actor Kelvin Fletcher.
Andy will be seen piecing together the clues and confronting Robert, who makes a full confession. And yet Robert - who is no stranger to a bit of deception - is soon wriggling his way out of the situation. After begin arrested on suspicion of murder, Robert tells the police that Andy made up the allegation.
"Robert has really shown his true colours. He confesses to Andy and then lies to everyone else. So Robert has proven himself to be the same callous, manipulative, lying person that he's always been. And Andy feels that the sooner he can get rid of him the better. He feels he owes it to Katie."
Events come to a head in the episode airing on Friday 25 September when, during a surprise late-night ambush, Robert is shot and left critically ill. Yet despite the dramatic nature of the plotline, it seems that the cast of Emmerdale still found time to have fun behind the scenes.
"Night shoots are great," says Fletcher, in reference to the moment when the villagers converge on the scene of the shooting. "They always feel quite mischievous and naughty because you're out working while everyone else is in bed. And there's a sense of nostalgia too because when you're doing a night shoot, it generally means that it's a big storyline. Everyone has to be on their A game, but you do tend to do a few more pranks than usual."
As for the solution to the mystery of who shot Robert, Emmerdale fans should be braced for something a bit different, says one of the case's prime suspects: "I can't wait for it to play put. I think it'll be a 'soap first' as to how it's revealed. What Emmerdale has in mind is unique. It'll be very exciting for viewers."

Emmerdale’s Kelvin Fletcher warns that Andy could take others down with Robert!
10:45am, Tuesday, 29 September 2015
http://assets.whatsontv.co.uk/whatso...y%20sugden.JPG
Angry Andy Sugden still wants revenge for Katie’s death - but Robert isn’t the only person in danger from him. Emmerdale’s Kelvin Fletcher reveals all to Soaplife!
The doctors are going to bring Robert out of his coma. How does Andy feel?
“Andy wanted Robert [Ryan Hawley] dead. He felt he had a little bit of justice when he got shot, but when he’s told that the doctors are bringing him around, he says that it would do him a world of good if he doesn’t wake up. Diane [Elizabeth Estensen] and Victoria [Isabel Hodgins] are relieved and anxious, though. Everyone is sympathising and worrying and making out that Robert is a hero and Andy doesn’t want to be around to witness it.”
How does this lead to Andy falling out with Pete?
“Pete’s agonising over his split with Debbie [Charley Webb] and confides in Andy, saying that it’s really hard not seeing the kids as he was like a dad to them. Andy takes that personally and reminds Pete [Anthony Quinlan] that he’s their dad, not Pete. He’s just venting his anger and Pete doesn’t deserve it.”
And that anger puts Pete in danger, right?
“Yes. Finn [Joe Gill] has got some motorcross vouchers for Pete’s birthday. Pete invites Andy, but he refuses because he doesn’t think he’s in the right frame of mind to do something like that. But then he has a row with Victoria over Robert and decides he might as well have some fun and agrees to join Pete.”
But what happens is not fun, is it?
“No. There’s a health and safety talk, but Andy’s too pig-headed to take any notice. He just wants to get out there on a bike and release all his anger. As soon as the talk is finished, Andy races off and Pete chases after him.”
And?
“Pete and Andy have an argument. Andy’s racing through the forest and Pete follows him. Suddenly, Andy goes through a no entry sign and crashes. He realises that if Pete follows he’s in danger, so he starts waving his arms and urging Pete to stop.”
And does he?
“I’m not saying. But Andy would be mortified if Pete got hurt. The only person he wants to see suffer is Robert. The problem is, when you’re hell-bent on getting your enemy, there’s a chance that other people will suffer…”

I am starting to suspect Andy again. Just a couple of things that's been said has made me wonder.
Yes, this is bothering me too again, but as Andy seems to have an alibi by being at the mental health unit then this suggests that he couldn't have been the shooter but maybe was involved by setting up a 'hit' for Robert? I watched the episodes on Thursday 8th and in the 8pm one Andy is sitting by the lakeside with Pete after rescuing him. They chat and Pete tells Andy about how Pete accidentally almost killed Ross and was relieved to find out eventually that he hadn't, although his family relationships and mental health have been badly affected by this accident. He tells Andy that, based on Pete's own experiences and their consequences with Ross, Andy needs to forget about Robert.Quote:

Andy: Why are you trusting me with this?
Pete: Because I don't want you to make the same mistake that I did.
Andy: But I don't deserve it, I almost killed you just now.
Pete: Well, it's not like you meant it to happen. And then you saved me life. So I'm repaying ya. Look, by telling you that you need to get over Robert. Well, so can you?
Andy: Pete, you should know what I've done...
Andy then gets cut off from talking more when Finn rides up to check out what happened to them on their bikes.
The scene at the end of the episode shows Andy standing next to Robert's bed in the hospital.
Andy says: "All this time I've wanted you to die, Robert. But now I need you to wake up. Because dying, that's easy. When you wake up, I'm going to do whatever it takes for Diane and Vic to realise who you are. You'll see them hate you as much as I do. You will suffer for Katie. So wake up and pay for what you've done. Because I will not let you take the easy way out."
So Pete's chat was a plot device to make Andy less hard on Robert in one way (by Robert not dying) but more hard in another (by setting up Robert to have a miserable life by being hated by the only two people who care for him, mother Diane and sister Victoria). Is this only what Duncan Lindsay in Metro on 03/09/15 meant when he wrote "prepare for the mother of all payoffs", or is there more to Andy's involvement with Robert than just this?
What did Andy mean when he said "Pete, you should know what I've done..." (about Robert?)?
I did suggest that Andy could have been involved with Robert's shooting in a previous soapboards post on 01/10/15:
>
A classic single-shooter storyline would be expected to involve a close family member (Lachlan, Andy, Chrissie, Lawrence) or former boyfriend Aaron. My choice for this person for now is Lachlan.
A while back (on 03/09/15), there was a reliable metro.co.uk spoiler (from Duncan Lindsay) which said that Andy was going to have a major "payoff". Not payback to Robert for what he's done to Andy (and others) but "payoff". Now "payoff" literally suggests some set-up and reward for someone else to "do the deed". Of course, any storyline involving a second- or third-party is a complex sort of scenario which we, as TV viewers, couldn't foresee real details of, not as far as the identity of the shooter or time and place of the shooting go. But so far, no "payoff" storyline like this has been seen for Andy. Andy's alibi during Robert's shooting (Andy was checked in to a mental health unit at the time, apparently?) only proves he wasn't in Emmerdale at the time of the shooting. But this doesn't mean that Andy didn't first set up something to happen to Robert in Andy's absence.

Telly Watcher post in Robert Sugden thread 01/10/15
http://www.soapboards.co.uk/forums/s...921#post831921
We know from the Thursday 08/10/15 episode that Chrissie suspects Lachlan to be the shooter. (For good reasons too, what with the gun missing from the Home Farm safe, Lachlan's whereabouts that night being so far unknown, her setting Lachlan up by telling him repeatedly in the days leading up to the shooting that she wanted to to get rid of Robert, so her wishes but mothers-boy Psycho Lachlan's hand on the gun?)
I think that Lawrence also suspects Chrissie or Lachlan to be the shooter too.
Step-brother Andy would be a big shooter suspect but he seems to have an alibi by being in the mental health unit (in Hotton?), but could Andy have phoned someone to be a hitman to shoot Robert on September 25th?
I'd be really disappointed if Robert's shooter turned out to be an unknown hitman who does it just for the money (as a real hitman would). I really want Robert's shooter to be the person who hates Robert enough to 'do the deed by his/her own hand', someone like Andy/Chrissie/Lachlan/Lawrence/Aaron/Chas.
But what if Andy did set up a hitman? We know that Andy phoned Diane and Vic just before Robert got shot, so Andy was able to phone out of the mental health unit so maybe he phoned a hitman/Ross beforehand and promised money or something for Robert to be killed later that night on September 25th?
So what could have happened?
1) Andy hired/arranged for a "payoff" unknown hitman or Ross to do the shooting with a new gun that the shooter already had. Robert was carrying a new gun (or Lachlan's gun from Home Farm safe which Robert had taken for protection against a perceived threat made by Andy earlier in the afternoon on September 25th?) which dropped out onto the floor when he was shot and which Aaron then found near Chas's feet at the scene of the crime.
2) Chrissie used Ross and gave him Lachlan's gun, so Ross had Lachlan's gun, shot Robert on 25/09/15, left Emmerdale but returns on 22/10/15. (But just what was the awkward object Lachlan took from his left trouser pocket and threw into the field whilst walking home after Robert got shot on September 25th?). Robert had his own gun which fell out of his pocket when he was shot and fell forwards into Chas and it was this gun which Aaron later found when he showed up.
3) Lachlan shot Robert then threw his gun away whilst walking home from the village on September 25th. Robert was carrying a new gun which dropped out onto the floor when he was shot and which Aaron then found near Chas' feet at the scene of the crime.
Review of the Emmerdale episode for September 25th doesn't show any evidence of a gun near Chas's feet, though, so we as TV viewers/fans only have Danny Miller's interview to suggest this (and we all know, of course, that actors lie by profession when they pretend to be other people and say words which other people have written for them!), so maybe Aaron got his gun from elsewhere after all?
I think it would be unlikely that Ross could successfully break into the Home Farm safe without damaging the safe to get his old gun from it, or for Lawrence to give Ross his old gun, as these would make it too obvious that the shooter was Ross. I really can't think of any specific reason right now why Ross would do this for Andy other than for money, as Ross and Andy are not exactly best friends as far as I know and Ross doesn't have any issues with Robert himself but maybe he does 'behind the scenes' or Andy just sees Ross as a mercenary type of local guy who could be hired for help for money when needed?
Andy hasn't worked a lot lately, so would he have enough money to pay for a hitman? Ross arranged to meet Pete at the farm during the evening/night of September 25th so Pete and Moira went to the farm to meet him as Pete suspected Ross wanted to kill him, but Ross didn't show saying "somemut's come up". Was this the hit on Robert, or did Ross just come to his senses and decide to avoid Pete rather than kill him? Seeing someone else had shot Robert may have made Ross realise that he could have so easily done this to Pete and resulted in Ross being in jail for a long time?
The most likely suspects to me for Robert's shooter right now are Lachlan or Ross. Neither of these have any alibi for the night of September 25th, but Ross burst into Debbie's cottage (just 3 doors down from the Woolpack) almost immediately after Robert was shot, was dressed in hitman-black clothing, telling Debbie how he knew exactly what had happened to Robert just minutes before and then told her that he was leaving Emmerdale and going to Leeds airport to leave the country, even though he hadn't decided where he was going to go just then, but he would send money for Moses and his upbringing and how he (Ross) might never return to UK. Well just how suspect and desperate does that come across as?
The three people who seem to be really needed to explain what happened on September 25th are not available right now = Robert (in a coma in hospital!), Lachlan (gone on holiday break) and Ross (whereabouts unknown, seemingly somewhere outside UK). When one or more of these characters are available then maybe we will get some insightful answers to the mystery of Robert's shooting? Spoilers say that Ross reappears on Emmerdale on Thursday October 22nd, the same date as the 'rewind' episode. Well just how suspect is that too?
Although we have been told that the 'rewind' episode on October 22nd will show TV viewers who shot Robert and what the circumstances were for various characters then, we haven't been told if this is privileged information to just us as TV viewers or whether the Emmerdale characters/soap police find out about this too. Maybe the mystery of Robert's shooter continues for the villagers and soap police until some later date (around December 2015?)? Time will tell.
I really hope Robert's shooter storyline isn't another Ross one. If it is, this could explain how Debbie comes to leave Emmerdale when her family find out that Ross was Robert's shooter? It might also turn out then that Chas' stalker is Lachlan (but Emma seems more likely to be this to me for now)?
The latest spoilers/interviews about Charley Webb's exit storyline for maternity leave suggest that she does get involved with bad boy Ross but her friends and family cause problems over this and she ends up leaving Emmerdale (around December) fearing for her safety (from threats from her own family?). Charity is due to return to Emmerdale then, so I expect Moses will stay. Maybe Ross gets involved with another relationship with Charity then?
Scene scripts from Emmerdale episode 7315, Thursday 8 October 2015, 8pm – 8.30pm
Pete: What the hell was that? Cornering me off. Have you got a flaming death-wish. Are you mad?
Andy: Yeah, maybe. Maybe I am mad. My head's a mess. I lost it when Katie died and now I'm losing it again now I know Robert killed her. But it wasn't me killed her, he's some sort of hero. I want him dead. I want him dead badly and I'd do anything to make it happen.
Pete: I get it.
Andy: You don't.
Pete: Oh you hate him, like I said I get it.
Andy: Stop saying that. You have no idea.
Pete: Well I do because I thought I'd killed my own brother, Andy. Well I thought he was dead. I was relieved. I was sure that I wouldn't look back. I was wrong.
Andy: You don't need to say.
Pete: But you're going through the same thing now. Needing him dead but it's not to solve anything, Andy.
Andy: Pete, I don't want to hear this.
Pete: Well you think you're going mad now, that's nothing. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't function. Began hating meself too. It doesn't give you the peace of mind you think it will.
Andy: You don't know for sure. Ross is alive.
Pete: Thank God. It's the only thing that saved me if you can call it that. I've lost Debbie and the kids. I'm on anti-depressants. Me own family can hardly even look at me now.
Andy: Finn's all right.
Pete: I mean my Mum and Dad. It was my birthday today and I've never even had so much of a text. It's like they don't even recognise me anymore.
Andy: I don't think Katie would recognise me.
Pete: I wanted him dead. And making it happen, it's not the same.
Andy: Why are you trusting me with this?
Pete: Because I don't want you to make the same mistake that I did.
Andy: But I don't deserve it, I almost killed you just now.
Pete: Well, it's not like you meant it to happen. And then you saved me life. So I'm repaying ya. Look, by telling you that you need to get over Robert. Well, so can you?
Andy: Pete, you should know what I've done...
[Finn rides up on a motocross bike, asks what's happened and then goes off to get help. We aren't shown if Andy says anything further to Pete. Pete later takes the blame for the accident by telling the ridepark leader that he'd been showing off (so Andy now owes him a favour).]
The scene at the end of the second episode shows Andy standing next to Robert's bed in the hospital.
Andy:
All this time I've wanted you to die, Robert. But now I need you to wake up. Because dying, that's easy. When you wake up, I'm going to do whatever it takes for Diane and Vic to realise who you are. You'll see them hate you as much as I do. You will suffer for Katie. So wake up and pay for what you've done. Because I will not let you take the easy way out.
I'm conflicted as to whether he'd try and get away with it. From his anger and his publicly known opinion on Robert, does anyone else think he'd admit it if he did do it.
