Robert Sugden

[maidmarian]

.Male Bisexuality is a bit of a theme on
Emmerdale Serena.
A man called Jarvis was Bisexual became
involved with Paul - Vals son - who was gay.

Grayson Sinclair married to Perdita later
admitted he was gay .Katie was a surrogate
for them.

Regarding Robert its a bit of a surprise - if
he is actually Bisexual and not just manipulating.
I always thought his main drivers were money
power and causing trouble before sex- with
anyone. When in prog before he was involved
with various females- but always an agenda!

My limited real-life knowledge is of older
men marrying much younger women without
the women being aware of situation at least
intially. So another scenario.will be interesting-
I hope.

But this storyline is different it makes no sense for Robert to want Aaron he has got it all! He has a beautiful girlfriend Chrissie, he has Lawrence in his back pocket and he has a good paying job. Now it seems like to me that Aaron does not seem like the kind of guy to be a second fiddle? Aaron seems too smart for this? Also Robert is the one who has everything to lose not Aaron. I wonder if the writers will bring in another guy to the story?

It may well work out as you hope. We will know
as the storyline plays out and Roberts motives
become clearer.I doubt it will just be that Robert
has had suppressed Bisexual feelings for some
time- other factors will emerge.
I can see the logic of some of your reasoning.
But soap plots arent always logical.!
Time will tell.!

Emmerdale's series producer Kate Oates has revealed more details about Aaron Livesy's surprising new relationship with Robert Sugden, confirming that there will be a genuine attraction between the pair.

Last week, the ITV soap released a new trailer which featured footage of the two characters sharing a passionate kiss - sparking much speculation among fans about whether Robert really likes Aaron or whether his romantic interest is all part of a con.

Speaking at an Emmerdale press conference on Monday (December 1), Oates cleared up the confusion by confirming that Robert is attracted to men as well as women.

The show returnee's feelings for Aaron will develop into an affair, which will no doubt jeopardise his future with wife-to-be Chrissie White if the truth ever comes out.

Oates explained: "Chrissie doesn't know about the relationship with Robert and Aaron, and that's obviously going to be a long-burner. She doesn't know that her husband-to-be has this tendency that he also fancies men, so that might be a big surprise to her!"

Robert will juggle relationships with both Aaron and Chrissie

In a chat with Digital Spy, she later added: "Robert is very different from his brother in that Andy can live in the terraced house in the village with the girl that he's always loved and be happy. He works as a farmhand on the farm where he grew up, he doesn't need any more and he's a really happy guy like that.

"Robert always wants more - there's never enough. He's in a position now where he's with Chrissie and he's in the big house on the hill. He's also got Lawrence in his back pocket now, but it's still not enough.

"Robert is still taking risks and seeking adrenaline. He just wants more all the time. I think Aaron is going to be a victim of that to a certain extent, but the attraction between them is genuine."

Praising Danny Miller and Ryan Hawley - who play Aaron and Robert - Oates continued: "What I really like is that the lads have done a great job of creating that chemistry.

"In the scenes where they're together, you absolutely believe it and I think that they've done brilliantly with that. It's genuine to a point, but Robert will always be out for himself!"

Does Aaron's plan have the desired effect on Robert?

Aaron could be playing with fire

The show's top boss also confirmed that Karl Davies, who previously played Robert, was offered the chance to return to Emmerdale. When he declined the opportunity, a decision was made to recast the role with Hawley in the part.

She said: "I spoke to Karl intermittently since arriving at Emmerdale. It just got to a point where this opportunity came up. I wanted to bring the character back and asked if Karl was interested, and explained that if he wasn't then we might have to look elsewhere. I understand why [he didn't want to return] - he's doing other things and he's doing incredibly well.

"At that point, I knew that we were recasting a really big character. I knew that I wanted Robert to get together with Aaron and that there'd be a big story for him. It was a big gamble, but I think it's paid off.

"We are seeing a Robert with a different side to him now, or certainly a side that is magnified from the old Robert - because I think that Machiavellian side has always been there. We've just expanded on that and the recasting was a good chance to do it, so I think it's been a blessing really."

All I hope is Aaron does not end up being the stereotypical sad gay man chasing the bisexual/straight guy. The producer says stuff to get people interested to watch. I just hope Aaron is not going to end up losing in the end?
