I do feel Liv being back will massively help the Robron story progress, the row with Robert and drink/drugs was not pleasant but served a significant purpose, I was so impressed with Isobel's performance she is so convincing.
Aaron - Doctor story much shorter than expected and made it very clear Aaron is not ready to move on, he loves Robert and now wants to be calm with Liv and to work on HIMSELF for a while. It does leave the door open for the future if we have the right story to bring Robron back together and we know Robert/Aaron and Liv really want that to happen when the time is right -
PROGRESS = Realisation and sharing with Liv that he loves Robert but needs some more time.
Robert -Seeing Aaron with another man sent him crazy and spiralling down the usual Robert silliness route hence the Lawrence stuff, it also drove forward his determination to get that 30% share in the bag, now he has that the HF story cannot fester much longer. It cemented to Robert that he also loves Liv and the family united they had and losing that has left him bereft without any scheme to resolve it.
PROGRESS = HF stuff has to start to conclude / clarified Robert's complete reliance on the Roblivion family unit (especially Aaron)
I think if you do as they say and read between the lines the clearest message was how Robert/Aaron and Liv totally want to be together, the constipation in the whole thing is PD and the baby and this, to me, will be the laxative one way or the other but I have no clue how this will pan out so here is some speculation:-
- PD has problems at child birth and the baby doesn't survive, Robert devasted & Aaron supports him etc .... (least likely to me)
- The Lawrence false-sex stuff comes out and PD finally declares the baby was never Robert's and the ONS was made up - (I like this one but I think its unlikely)
- Baby born and Robert suddenly demands a paternity test and its Ross's (very likely)
- Aaron continues his counselling, keeps interacting with Robert and gradually they start to bond again, Aaron declares he will accept the baby, PD is as useless as a mother as she was at running HF and dumps baby on to Robron (likely)
As much as I have found everything since the ONS tedious I do think IM is gradually trying to turn this horrid situation around it is taking time otherwise it would look very strange.
I am still very sad that after the reveal episode and Robert's vulnerable state at the end hugging Aaron's arm and looking so forlorn ED could have really driven that vulnerability without the baby and Robron separation. I do hope they revisit this vulnerability in Robert through the reconciliation and baby story and show Robert needs Aaron, Liv and to some degree this new child in his life.
Sorry its a long one.
