Chas denies she was involved in the shooting when questioned by the police (Monday, Sept 28th). But she was the nearest to Robert when the shooting happened. The hit was right in Robert's chest so maybe we should be looking at someone being very nearby and accurate with a gun to Robert when the shooting happened. Aaron was quickly on the scene but, of course, Chas was standing right in front of Robert when he got shot. Did Chas shoot Robert after all (I doubt this right now but I'm open to any reasonable ideas) and did Aaron receive the gun, either at the scene or later from Chas? Or was Aaron nearby and shoot Robert himself?
It could be a ridiculous storyline of my imagination, of course, but maybe Robert raids the Home Farm safe himself, takes the bracelet for later sale and the gun for self-protection from a hothead like Andy, wears the gun stuffed into his trouser belt next to his stomach, then accidentally shoots himself in the chest with it whilst arguing with Chas outside the pub, then Aaron finds the gun in Robert's trouser belt when he's with him after the shooting. (BUT Dan and Chas are there too as witnesses, so Aaron would really need to be a great magician to hide how he takes the gun from Robert's unconscious body laying the the street with Chas and Dan around!).
There are so many possible storylines thinkable right now with the available spoilers. Lachlan and Lawrence were also in the area at the time of the shooting.
Maybe the Aaron-shooting-Robert, love-hate scenario is just too much of an anti-gay agenda for Emmerdale storywriters to support right now?
Maybe Aaron is just a 'damage limitation expert' for disposal of the 'hot' gun used by Chas/Andy/Paddy/Aaron/throw-away Lachlan/other guy?
It also bothers me why Aaron makes such a big deal on Monday Sept 28th when Chas doesn't tell the police about the gun (that was) in Chrissie's safe. Just what is Aaron maybe trying to hide and deflect attention from? Something about Chas, himself or Paddy?
It is definitely 'open season' for the identity of Robert's shooter right now!
The evidence may have already been shown on TV but we maybe haven't realised it yet. One thing is for sure in life, what each of us does today will make tomorrow happen the way it does!
