yes poor robert he needs someone to give him a big hug :wub: i don't understand why vic isn't there more for him (i know she finds him sleeping on the sofa) as she knows how much he cares for aaron and unlike bex cannot have any interest like that in him but agree its just a plot device and maybe bex will surprise even yet and do something that will really help them both :confused:Quote:

I think I'm going to stick to not watching live and then catching up when I'm in the mood to see it though, as it will be heartbreaking.
It certainly seems that Robert will have reached his breaking point when whatever it is happens between him and Bex and I think that, as other people have said, she may well talk some sense into him and tell him to pull himself together. I still don't like it and I still won't watch it until I see everyone else's reactions...I'm such a coward :D I'm actually looking forward to seeing Robert fall apart but could have done without the shoehorning in of you-know-who ;)
Oh my god, just seen the preview for tonight :crying: poor Robert, this is just so sad.
Damn you Emmerdale, you've made me want to watch it live now...after I literally just said I wouldn't! Aargh, I just don't know if I can take the pain 🙈
SPOILERS.
Thursday March 16th
ROBERT LEARNS THE TRUTH. When Liv hears that a stressed Robert hasn’t been able to see Aaron in prison, she worries her brother’s been caught with drugs. After confiding in Rebecca she’s hiding a secret, Liv tells Robert Aaron’s been taking drugs. Later Robert acts casual while visiting Aaron but becomes angry when Aaron lies about the situation. He eventually lets Aaron know he knows and Aaron is crushed.
Robert pleads with Aaron to give up drugs but he says it’s too late. Feeling rejected, after Aaron’s said he’s no use to him, Robert swigs on a bottle of whisky and ends up trashing the room. He texts Rebecca, who’s on a date with Ross, and asks her to come round to the cottage. When she arrives he tries to kiss her but she rejects him.
Friday March 17th.
ROBERT’S REGRETS. A hungover Robert rues his moves on Rebecca last night and begs her not to tell Aaron. Chas senses something is up and is angry when she questions Robert
ALSO: Chas is furious to learn Aaron’s been taking drugs; Zak and Lisa are happy to be back together.
Heartbreaking but so brilliantly done.
Edit: Obviously I caved and watched it live ;)
Extremely impactful episode.
Horrendous for Aaron completely trapped in that situation, it beggars belief that the authorities must know this is happening but not protecting Aaron, Jason is a bully its just a shame Aaron has fallen into the drugs trap so quickly but I suppose they are going to express this story pretty quickly so have little time to get everything they want to on screen.
Poor Robert, he is always so strong and in control, never in the past seemed to let anything or anyone affect him, this must be alien to him, he is lost and alone.
Liv, cruel kids are was bad as Jason, another institution (school) where the authorities cannot control bullies.
Overall another episode out of the way of this dreadfully depressing storyline (well acted but horrible, I really hope we get some nice Robron when Aaron gets out but they will all take time to adjust)
:lol:Quote:

It was brilliantly acted by all those concerned.
As you say once this is over it is surely time to give them some nicer moments in their lives, if anyone deserves it they do.
Morning
How's everyone feeling today? 👍🏻
I don't think the Bex thing will be any more than a drunken pass which she pushes away (as per Duncan's article who I always find reliable) he will realise what he has done and feel dreadful about it as he promised Aaron he wouldn't be unfaithful and even a pass could be seen as a potential betrayal. He is already feeling very low and vulnerable and this coupled with guilt will lead to Chas seeing there is something wrong with him and based on what we have seen he will open up to her but I think alongside thy he MAY explain what Aaron said to him to make him get drunk and irrational and also tells her about his worry regarding the drugs. I wonder if everyone has read too much in to the stunt guy ??
I also think the same and agree that Duncan's article gives the most balanced story. 👍🏻Quote:

I do feel that it is getting to the point that there are too many of the Extra Actors and stunt etc people divulging information on social media sites way in advance of an episode.:nono:
I am as guilty as anyone of wanting to know what is going to happen but I'd prefer to know just a few days before hand if I have too and from an official source.
Let someone leak that they are going to get married officially, move into The Mill and adopt a child - that sort of information I could live with!:cheer:
