Robron not getting enough screentime.

[Serena Williams]

Does Kate oates not realize how popular aaron and robert are worldwide? There is a huge audience who ONLY watch emmerdake for the gay storyline.There are youtube videos, tumbulr, Facebook, fan fiction devoted to aaron and robert. Yet according to the spoilers for the next two weeks they are only mentioned in one episode. Even last week aaron hardly got much screentime. Kate Oates needs to wake up there is a younger audience who is very interested in the gay storyline. Is it homophobia? I have noticed the aaron and robert relationship lacks passion lately. I cannot help but wonder if they were heterosexual if they would get more screentime?

Im not sure its meant to be a mainly gay
storyline Serena. There are many other facets
to it.
Both characters have had/still having hetero
sexual experiences and for one of them I think
money/social positionis probably more important
than sex with either gender. So is it a money/
bisexuality storyline?

I think they highlighted Aaron & Robert to gain
headlines/publicity initially.

Also theres Laurence and his past lurking in the
background and Chrissie (I accept not a good a
actress so far) who Im.sure is meant to suspect
but is pretending she doesnt.
So will be more angry than ever when confronted
with the reality-if she can portray that.!

So that may be why the gay strand.of the story
isn't getting the time you would like - because
its one part of a bigger story where there is
deception/ different sexualities at many levels
and other characters involved.

I am also trying to figure out how Lawrence fits into this? The writers have written Lawrence as this old gay man who has no sex life. Lawrence is written like he is a posh queen. Chrissie knows her dad is gay and I suspect Lawrence knows robert is at least bisexual. There was a scene last fall where robert calls Lawrence a poof and he said he lead him on. I am not sure if Lawrence and robert have slept together or not? But the scene was the only one to suggest Lawrence is sexually attracted to robert. And I think this is the reason he did not want robert to marry chrissie.

what do u want brokeback mountain for them

I want more I am.not satisfied I guess I should accept emmerdale is just too conservative to tell a gay storyline proper. The jackson storyline was very stereotypical.

Emmerdale is on in the early evening, so they can only show so much due to the watershed.

John Bowe is a well established actor who has
played many parts( was a serial.killer in first
Prime Suspect) and very spine -chilling too
.
There was a lot of publicity when he was first
cast-but not really given the storylines-as yet
that could be expected.
Im.hoping that this changes when Robert&
Aarons relationship becomes public knowledge!!
