(538) Aaron & Robert 12th May 2016 Part 4

[@cloudyday3799]

on a lighter note Robert "why don't you write me a rule book" made me burst out laughing. yep, we have all felt like that when dealing with our partner's family

[@BCause-qv1mk]

+cloudy day Couldn't agree more. One of his best one liners. And the way he said it with his arms wide open ... whatever he does or says at the moment seems to piss off Aaron.

[@emmettegamble3184]

I don't ever remember Robert being this concerned about Crissy like this. Damn. I feel his pain. He's trying so hard. What Robert did to Aaron is both shity and sweet af.

[@soclose7464]

+Emmette Gamble I must have been watching a different soap. I remember especially the explosion, Robert was there begging and crying and begging to Chrissie to take him back. Then after the explosion he was there by her side constantly, listening, caring and attentive while she was in a state, sticking up for her in court, protecting her from Eric but then she wised up and stopped him worming his way back in....way to go Chrissie. Wish Aaron would have done the same.

[@conorbyrne6969]

+So Close No you haven't been watching a different soap ,different people come away with different things. For me Roberts behaviour with Chrissy, as you described it, was because he was losing everything he had worked for, money , prestige . The only other time I have seen Robert so passionate about a relationship was with Katie but that too was tinged with an ulterior motive. Was he really upset at losing Katie or was he more upset at losing Katie to Andy? What has he to gain with his relationship with Aaron? Aaron has no social prestige and no wealth. Robert is not in any competition with anyone else over Aaron. His love this time seems to be genuine without any ulterior motive.

[@lynnettecorrales2735]

+So Close he was protecting his investment. chrissie was s meal ticket - he wad fighting to get back in good graces to be a part of the family namr. aaron has no money, no big fsmily name, no power and prestige - everything. he does fir asron is for pure love.

[@emmettegamble3184]

So Close Robert saw Chrissie as a meal ticket. He plotted and played a role for financial gain only. He laid the whole plot out when fighting with Lawrence. He started by flirting with Lawrence and then moved on to Chrissie. Look at how quick he got over Chrissie. And when Andy hooked up with Chrissie, Robert was only concerned about the money of it all.

[@lynnettecorrales2735]

+Emmette Gamble total agreement.

[@deanshagwell3270]

I like the fact that Robert stood his ground. He has changed and as much as he cares for Aaron, the past few weeks for Robert have been damned if you do, and damned if you don't. All he has done is out of love for Aaron.

[@jwsm2]

Why would Robert bother when child molesters are hated by prisoners.I actually felt bad for Robert at the scrap yard when he said he just wanted to be apart of Aaron's family and help him.

[@MerimaTropoja]

+jwsm2 Did you see Robert's face, he looked like he was about to cry :( I think he will be really hurt by Aaron's suspicions.

[@jwsm2]

Yeah Robert was almost crying.He never acts that emotional cos he loves Aaron and thought he was doing the right thing and gets told no you're the old Robert and get away from me.

[@neilrojo1577]

@jwsm2 it’s hard for Robert to change when all the people around him, says that he will always be the same old Robert.

[@Starshii]

Damn. He only want´s to be part of your family. Is it really so much to ask? Is it Aaron?! And how dare they think Robert might have been involved with Gordon´s death? After all the love & support he has given during these hard times and beeing in general a safe rock for Aaron. In that situation so many other people would have just happily walked away and left that emotional mess behind to survive alone. I really felt for Robert after this episode. I hope we are going to see an real apology from Aaron, because he really owes him one! To think how this double bill started, talk about emotional rollercoaster!

[@norahs833]

Aaron is mean ! after what Robert have done to him !!!

[@lyreto8969]

When Robert got shot and all the evidence pointed to Aaron, he didn't believe it, he gave him the benefit of the doubt. And now Aaron is so ready to believe Robert murdered his dad when it makes absolutely no sense, if he was going to kill him it'd have been after Aaron first told him when he was planning to run away, not after he got 18 years. However justified Aaron's mistrust in Robert is after everything he's done, it seems Robert loves him more than he loves Robert, he's always the one making the effort in the relationship and it's kinda sad to watch at this point.

[@dixitarum]

On what grounds!? He was already IN prison! If they split up over this it'll be a ridiculous turn of events.

[@allanathomas6977]

I am in total agreement with you. Robert has done so much to try and help Aaron but now at the drop of a hat they are all ready to throw him under the bus. Kane of all people should not be saying anything because he has always qanted to kill Gordon once he found out. I won't even get started on Chaz because I will only piss myself off more than I already am. Hell these people are never careful as to who may hear them. Liv hearing is just a big ole problem because we all know that she was never a fan of Robert. Knowing her I believe that she ma6 do something to get at Robert or try to physically hurt or kill him. I know that Robert is head over heels for Aaron but I would honestly say that he should get the hell away from that family. Since Liv has come into the picture, Aaron has just thrown Robert onto the back burner. The writers better sort this SHIT out by Monday the latest. All Robert wants is to be LOVED and appreciated by Aaron and that is not happening. Aaron is always seeing the wrong in everything that Robert does. One thing is certain for me though if anything happens to Robert because of Liv I am so going to want to see Aaron, Chaz and Kane suffer. Writers you need to get your shit together and let PEACE rain for Robert, the guy needs a DAMN break after all the things that he has done for Aaron... #I-am-so-DAMN-PISSED-off Robert has only tried to help his boo Aaron since this all started. Do these writers ever use their brains to thing??? Seriously though if Robert wanted to have Gordon killed he would have done it along time ago and not after Gordon was sentenced to (18years) in prison... #UseYourBrainsWriters

[@camiesyoutuber1136]

What??!! Why Robert would do something like that? I cant believe how is this story going!! Poor Robert!

[@hannahsvideoplaylist]

I've heard so much of "Aaron's too good for Robert" but not any more. Come on Aaron, you know him better than that. Why don't you trust him??

[@blakeseven5305]

I would never trust Robert. They don't even know he got a hit out on Chas. All Aaron knows that he killed Katie and got Aaron to help him hide it and lie. He helped Aaron through his difficult time but still nearly screwed up everything by bribing someone to cry rape. I think where Aaron falls down for me is that he should know what you get with Robert and when he screws up like now he just has don't act so suprise. He knows Robert is trying but will never be an upstanding member of the public. He got back with Robert knowing that

[@monk3yboy69]

Because of everything Robert has put Aaron through and now trying to conceal the letter, Aaron is arriving at the conceivable idea that Robert had Gordon bumped off. Aaron , more than anyone else, knows full well what Robert is capable of. So I say well done Aaron for being on the ball, but I am (HATE TO SAY THIS!!!LOL) afraid I am on Robert's side here. I think you're making a big mistake.

[@pologolfpolott1096]

Run, Robert, run! There must be a village nearby with sane men! Worst jumps in illogical deduction I've seen.

[@cloudyday3799]

if they accept sane men then they certainly won't accept Robert, cut back to him leaving Lawrence for dead a few weeks ago?????

[@monk3yboy69]

It is perfectly logical to come to this conclusion. I personally doubt he is involved, but given his history, this makes perfect sense.

[@soclose7464]

+pologolfpoloTT if that village only allowed sane people in than that village would put out a may day call to the army to surround it and stop Robert from entering if they knew he was on the way (just remind me what part of bribing an unstable kid to cry rape is sane?)

[@lynnettecorrales2735]

NO,NO,NO,NOOOOO!!!!! I can't handle them falling out again.

[@Tiofilusif]

what fuck is wrong with this storyline blaming robert

[@kendon0923]

Over a effing Letter. Are they trying to make both characters as insufferable as possible to disabuse the fans of feelings about wanting them together. Between Robert leaving Lawrence to die and Aaron growing increasingly self-righteous and hypocritical, I'm becoming more and more frustrated with them both. More so Aaron though because at least Robert hurts other people. Aaron is finding more and more ways to hurt Robert for no reason.

[@chrizbogz]

oh no! poor Robert. they're going to blame him...

[@eleanorsmith3567]

In not giving Aaron the letter Robert denied him a form of closure but he was trying not to cause Aaron further pain. What Robert did wasn’t right but he had good intentions at heart

[@kevinbaileydbfl]

Calmer now...this is just a soap and you gotta have lots and lots of drama. "A rule book for dealing with the Dingles" was funny as heck!!!

[@ellaclaire_147]

I'm officially taking a long break with this show, hopefully it will be better when I decide to come back to getting my heart all the time.

[@Matheuslung]

Jesus Christ, Aaron i love you, but fucking hell man. The guy would burn the entire town down for you (not the best analogy at the momenth but ok) and you keep suspecting his every move and doubting him, just grow up, either break up with him and be done with it or suck it up and accept his flaws, like he accepts yours (and they're many) again love you...

[@rowelurbano2925]

I cant wait to watch the next episode!!! poor robert,,,

[@Laety]

I hope they don't ambush Robert tomorrow because that's going to suck. I will feel bad for him. I don't like Aaron and Robert arguing but then again I kind of do. Esp. when Aaron was walking away and Robert was saying how hard he as tried and is still trying, again -such a couple moment !

[@psI6]

I mean really. why the fuq does everyone care so much about his death. up until this point everyone wished him dead and now that it happened they all of a sudden give a shit. this is bad writing. Aaron is emotionally unstable and Adam was right. he can't expect Robert to be psychic when he says one thing and his actions are completely different.

[@rickstokes1]

Aaron is self centered and its tiresome. There, I've said it.

[@allanathomas6977]

AGREED...

[@blakeseven5305]

Well what does that make Robert up until lately ? Really for decades, before he left and when he came back IMO he has been one of the most self centred characters in Emmerdale's history. It is only since Aaron's abuse storyline I have seen hope that Robert may stop being self- centred then there was leaving Lawrence for dead a few weeks back over money/business and I thought here we go again

[@cloudyday3799]

if Aaron is self centred Robert usually thinks the universe revolves around him

[@tiffchaffey930]

+Richard Stokes this is extremely unfair! I agree aaron was definitely wrong in this episode and that robert didn't kill Gordon but people need to take into consideration that he's just found out HIS RAPIST had died and escaped his punishment. Aaron is far from self centred! He's always the one who puts people before himself. Look at all the self centred shit Robert did last year, and you all forgave him for his disgusting treatment of everyone! That also got tiresome and people loathed him for it. Aaron is known for lashing out when he's angry and in this episode he did just that! I know, he did it to the wrong people but this doesn't stop him from being an all round good man just because he's made a ridiculous mistake! Because of these reasons, I think whoever has given up on him are very silly and fickle!

[@cloudyday3799]

+Tiff Chaffey self centred is taking on responsibility for your little sister- I don't think so. That is self sacrificing in my book. it is just Robron or Robett fans frustrated not seeing them kissing etc

[@MerimaTropoja]

I am 100 % on Robert's side on this, I understand why Robert did not give him the letter, he was really torn on what to do, he talked to Adam abt it, talked to Aaron abt Gordon several times and each time Aaron wanted nothing to do with Gordon. Robert has watched Aaron suffer over what Gordon has done to him, he has seen Aaron almost die in his arms over Gordon's abuse and here's is this letter that could cause him even more pain and harm, I would have got rid of it too. The Dingle's theory is ridiculous why on earth would Robert go to the trouble of having Gordon killed when he has been sentenced to 18 years and why is Aaron always so quick to believe the worst of Robert, why is he even back with him if he has such a low opinion of him. Aaron said he want's to be able to rely on Robert well what about Robert being able to rely on Aaron because this relationship seems very one sided. I just hate how The Dingle's including Aaron are always standing in judgment of others when that entire family is full of thugs and criminals, most of them have a criminal record. And Aaron has done really bad things himself so I don't understand why Robert has to be ''good'' so they can be together, Robert has been walking on eggshells for Aaron for month's now and I'm with Robert Aaron should give him rule book because Aaron is really high maintenance. At this point I feel like Robert should just walk away from Aaron becouse he is being treated like trash.

[@tiffchaffey930]

Nice to know that everyone is completely one sided in this fandom..not! Now aaron is hated because he wrongfully accused Robert, yet Robert should be wrapped in cotton wool despite how much hurt he's put so many people through...including Aaron! Everyone's judgement here is so hypocritical! And I can't believe people agreed to the comments about Aaron being "self centred". What's that about? Why on earth would you choose HIM of all people as the self centred one? It's sad that the, overall, good guy is being trampled on whilst the guy who's known for, in fact, being self centred has the sun shining out of his arse! I agree Roberts been there for Aaron, and I also agree that Aaron was wrong to accuse him, but you can't seriously think, after the way he was treated last year, that he'd FULLY trust Robert straight away. He's with Robert because he loves him and wants to be close to him, doesn't mean the trust is completely there and I think Aaron's reasons for that are justifiable. Why don't you think for a bit before you react. Look into it psychologically. How would you react if you were raped throughout your childhood, fought for justice and then find out that the monster you fought had chickened out of his sentencing? Now Aaron feels like none of it was worth it and he didn't get the justice he needed. Yes, he shouldn't have taken it out on Robert, but he's lashing out. He doesn't mean it, just like how people kept saying Robert didn't mean what he said to aaron as he mocked him in the scrapyard. Let's not be unfair now!

[@cloudyday3799]

why are people upset at Aaron. His dad has just died. Being abused is complex, we saw when Caine went to kill Gordon he did not want Gordon dead. Aaron is a grown man and it was his decision what to do with the letter now all he ever will be left with is what ifs

[@Babyblues197620011]

I knew it, I knew it. Ugh! Now we are going to be strung along for who knows how many months until they figure out that he didn't do it. Or hell maybe he did and to that I say good on ya Robert. At least you had the guts to stand up for your man even if it's misguided.

[@mieberggaard]

Am I the only one who's enjoying the drama of all this? It'll be resolved soon anyway so there's no point getting so worked up about this storyline. Hopefully addressing Aaron's (completely justified) trust issues will only make them stronger in the long run. I feel really sorry for Robert though. He is trying his best to make Aaron happy, which seems to be his only purpose in life nowadays, and gets nothing but disappointment and distrust in return. It's like he can't do anything right and it must really hurt to never feel accepted by your own boyfriend. But it's understandable that Aaron doesn't completely trust him after everything Robert has put him through in the past. It's better for them both that they finally address this problem instead of sweeping it under the rug, which seems to be what they've been doing since they got back together. I think this "test" in their relationship is exactly what they need tbh.

[@tiffchaffey930]

+Mie SB glad you're optimistic about this. I was until everyone's decided aaron is the worst person ever! I look at it from both their perspectives and feel bad for both. But it's not fair how badly people are treating aaron here because of one idiotic mistake yet they can overlook all of Robert's disgusting behavior for an entire year! I sympathise with Robert because of what he's accused of but then I sympathise with Aaron because the monster that raped him has basically escaped his punishment. One thing I'm really gobsmacked about is the comments about Aaron being "self centred". I feel like some people have a real problem with aaron on this channel, it's been going on since last year and it's still going on! It's like everything he does is terrible yet when Robert does (even worse) things they make him come out smelling of roses, even though Aaron is the all round nicer guy with a more selfless, warm and compassionate personality!

[@monk3yboy69]

The one reason why everyone including Aaron are now suspicious of Robert is down to Robert's past actions. As they say in psychology, past behaviour is always an indicator of future behaviour. So if one applies logic, it does not take a genius to see why Aaron does not trust Robert now. The letter did Rob no favours and Gordon choosing such an inconvenient time to snuff it, helps no end indeed. I doubt Robert is involved, but the question is would he be so stupid in trying to prove he cares by bumping off Gordon?

[@mieberggaard]

+Tiff Chaffey I agree, people aren't being fair on Aaron at the moment. I don't often see people commenting negatively about Aaron, but it has really blown up after this episode. The way Aaron is reacting is completely understandable considering the circumastances, just like Robert's reaction is understandable as well. It baffles me that people aren't able to see the situation from both POVs. There's no need to take sides whenever they have a conflict. They're showing the story from both POVs and we should be able to sympathise with and critisise both. I don't think either of them have done anything particularly bad in this situation actually. I don't think Robert should have burned the letter even though I understand why he did it, but compared to what he has done in the past, this is nothing. Especially because he had Aaron's best interest at heart. But I understand why Aaron is upset with him. It is completely justified to expect honesty from your partner, especially one that has a past of deceiving you. I don't think Aaron's reaction is OTT or wrong in any way, and it certainly doesn't make him self centred. First learning about the letter and feeling betrayed by Robert and then learning that Gordon has died would undoubtedly take a toll on him and I don't get why people would think otherwise. Of course he's gonna care that his dad has died, whether it's positive or negative feelings (or, most likely, both) it's still emotionally harrowing. Maybe people keep Aaron on a pedastal (like Aaron has done with Paddy). Maybe that's why they're not accepting his mistakes, but will easily move on from Robert's. I'm personally not a fan of holding either of their mistakes against them when there's clearly an understandable reason to why they did what they did, which I think is the case in this episode. I must admit that I don't like seeing Aaron accuse Robert of something he hasn't done, but I still understand why he came to that conclusion. They haven't had any closure about everything Robert has put Aaron through, and when they got back together I think Aaron just wanted to forget about the past and live in the now. But they can't just ignore these issues forever. Aaron understandably has trust issues with Robert. When Aaron found out that Robert had kept the letter from him he saw it as something "old Robert" would do, and I think that kind of burst his bubble. I can imagine him thinking that if Robert is still capable of doing something that "old Robert" could do, what else is he capable of? It's sad because we know that Robert doesn't have anything to do with Gordon dying, but I can't fault Aaron for his trust issues with Robert. Robert is the reason they have trust issues in the first place and it's something they're gonna have to overcome together. People shouldn't expect Aaron to just get himself together and learn to trust Robert. They need a conversation that clears up all their insecurities about their past. That's why I'm fairly optimistic about these turn of events. If it's done correctly I think this is the perfect opportunity for them to sort out their trust issues and move forward in their relationship. It is perfectly set up for something like that to happen in tonight's episode, but you never know, they might disappoint me. No matter how it will turn out though, I'm still glad that the show is bringing attention to their underlying issues and is not just planning on ignoring them. I'm really looking forward to tonight and to see how this will all pan out :) sorry, this got really long ;p

[@timw2498]

I wish they would get past the accident that killed Katie, and if something went on that we don't know about, it was an accident. Yes, Robert pushed her, but he didn't know she would fall through the floor. I don't think any character in ED has the right to point the finger of blame, or judge anyone else!

[@howiemontgomery]

Could not agree more with Allana, etc., on the comments about Robert being thrown under the bus. I can't believe the crying and emotional reaction to the death of dear old dad! What is it with this "family". This story line has gone off the rails. The writers need to get it back on track!!

[@soclose7464]

Last time I checked it was Aaron's and Liv's dad that had just died, not Robert's. So what if Aaron lashed out (rightly so for holding back the letter) at Robert, when you are hurt and upset you lash out. Amazes me that people comments are more concerned about Robert's feelings (because Robert has never trampled on and messed with anyone's feelings in the last year or so) and how extremely difficult and impossible the whole situation must be for Aaron and Liv,

[@dwayne4u]

Perfect now everyone is jumping to conclusions. Now they all acting like they loved Gordon so much, and playing detective. Yall need to just go somewhere.

[@tiffchaffey930]

They're not acting like they loved gordon. They're angry he died because he escaped his punishment in prison which, for paedophiles in particular, is worse than death! Aaron fought for justice for so long and now it feels like it's all been for nothing. I feel so bad for him actually :(

[@dwayne4u]

+Tiff Chaffey Aaron is flip flopping. He thinks Gordon was gonna tell him he's sorry or something. He's not sad that he's dead he's just feeling guilty and because Robert burnt the letter this is the perfect opportunity to accuse him. ugh.

[@soclose7464]

+dwayne4u that is not what I got from this. If Aaron wanted his dad dead he had the opportunity for Caine to finish it off. It is not so black and white with people who have been abused by a parent that they automatically want them to die and have no feelings for them ever at all.Aaron is right it should have been his decision end of!

[@dwayne4u]

+So Close True it might have been his decision. But as we all know Aaron loves to torture himself whether it be physically or emotionally and this is just another thing for him to hold onto. He kept saying he didn't want to see him talk about him or talk to him. Aaron doesn't really know what's best for him in the moment a lot of the times i would have burned the letter too. Robert wasn't being malicious. Gordon is dead, good riddance i say they need to move on and stop investigating and accusing people.

[@Ray03595]

Dingles are looking into this way too much. They said themselves that pedophiles don't last long in jail. Probably got killed by an inmate. Robert's psycho, but even he has to know that killing Gordon wouldn't have made Aaron happy.

[@jcsgrrl]

Im rewatching this and i should have skipped this part. They all sounded stupid at the end blaming Robert. Smh

[@bigbangsbabiesbts8278]

No Aaron,Robert didn't kill Gordon. He tried to kill your mom and Paddy :p

[@soclose7464]

+phyu phay left Lawrence for dead, killed Katie etc. I would find it hilarious if Robert was to go down for the one crime he did not do.

[@BCause-qv1mk]

Hey, Aaron Fan! Just a thought: why not make a clip(s) with all the A&R scrapyard scenes so far. The pivotal moments of their relationship seem to be rooted among beaten-up cars, hope it's not some twisted symbolism. Anyway, thanks for all your diligence!!!

[@sanyrub]

Yas at Aaron giving Robert a hard time again and again. Wish he could dump him. I can´t believe people saying "Aaron self-centered", or "after what Robert has had to put up with". Seriously? Helping a man you supposedly like after he collapses in front of you and then being supportive of a rape victim for what, 3 or 4 months, is that much? AFTER everything Robert has done ON PURPOSE to people including Aaron? Seriously! I know most guys in a channel like this are just here for a gay relationship and "fuck any other thing", but still, seriously! :) Robert can leave any time he wants... but oh wait, he has nothing else now, he better play good with Aaron and family now :)

[@ilovetodreamatno3]

christ .... what a load of shit ... after all he's gone through with Aaron ... he's clearly changed and obvious he loves Aaron to bits. he made a mistake not giving him the letter but he thought he was doing the right thing, he didnt want gordon to hurt aaron more. but its clearly aaron never really trusted robert and his feelings cant be as strong when he jumped to conclusion as quick as he did. I feel bad for what happened to Aaron but if he doesn't grow up he's going to lose someone who would quite clearly walk on fire for him

[@MargauxChanning]

The writers have screwed up the Robert/Aaron relationship so badly that it is presently inconceivable that Robert - the sex-addicted, self-centered, ego-driven narcissist - would relentlessly pursue a platonic relationship (there's been one kiss and two hugs in the last nine months to a year) with a man who is incapable of speaking clearly about his own feelings and desires (Aaron first reaction to anything is to fly off the handle and say something he doesn't mean). More importantly, Robert is constantly on trial for any failure to accurately discern Aaron's true thoughts and feelings at any particular moment, and is never given the benefit of any doubt: if Robert's past actions render him untrustworthy then let him go rather than torturing him with the promise of a "proper" relationship if he would just measure up to an undefined standard. Robert needs to walk away and get a life of his own rather than trying to live Aaron's. At least this way the writers could redeem Robert as the colorful and compelling character he once was rather than as a cipher.

[@MrPigglywiggly9]

well, that escalated quickly.

[@kevinbaileydbfl]

They done pulled a fast one, a DOOL,Kish,ATWT Lure storyline. Got emotionally attached and bam!! Robert pouring his heart out in the scrapyard

[@lynnettecorrales2735]

i don't believe Robert had anything to do with it. when Robert does something wrong he gets cagey and he wasn't this time. he was actually mouthy about Gordon dying which he's usually all overly shocked if he was involved in something bad. like i said, Robert gets shifty when he done something evil but he wasn't. i am so angry that Aaron jumped to that conclusion. Robert's been on the straight and narrow, behaving himself, try SO hard to pave a happy path with Aaron - even asking him out to a dinner date. but, noooo.... he immediately gets hung out to dry. i can't WAIT for Aaron to have to apologize for being wrong.

[@tiffchaffey930]

People need to chill out and realise that Aaron's just found out his father is dead, his head is all over the place and he doesn't know what to think at the moment. For all we know Aaron could blame himself for all of this for coming forward about the rapes anyway. Aaron's hurt, angry, confused and it doesnt help that Robert had already nnoyed him over this letter business. It's funny how angry people are getting with Aaron.. as if he hasn't just had the worst news he could ever recieve. Regardles of what Gordon did, he was still Aaron's dad, and whether the relationship is fractured, or damaged beyond repair, at the end of the day, Aaron has still lost a parent. And if people could stop treating Robert like he's a precious little flower who should never be harmed, that'd be great. - Aaron will make mistakes in this relationship too. Tonight was one of them, but don't justify Robert's mistakes while slating Aaron for making one too.

[@cloudyday3799]

exactly, Gordon may be horrible but Aaron has never said he wants him dead, we saw that when Caine went to kill him

[@conorbyrne6969]

+Tiff Chaffey I don't think people are angry per se with Aaron just the really stupid storyline. When I watched this last not on telly I thought this is absolutely ridiculous. A sex offender dies alone in a prison cell and Robert is the prime subject, really? On what grounds ? Because a little girl says that there are people who would want him dead? Yes about 99.9 % of the prison population not to mention the Prison officers. We saw ourselves how Aaron was suicidal when he was in Prison and he was just on remand. Gordon had been sentenced for 18 years, and even if after 18 years he did leave prison, he would have still be on the sex offenders registrar . He has absolutely no future outside of prison and ,as we saw how badly beaten he was at the sentencing, there wasn't much hope of a life in prison either. The Dingles know what prison life is like , they know sex offenders are a the very bottom of that life so why on earth would they even imagine that a) Gordon's death is not suicide or b) if he was killed that it had to be someone outside the prison. It is just lazy, lazy writing and that's why I for one am a bit peeved off.

[@Ray03595]

+conor byrne I agree. But this storyline probably won't last long. I expect DS Wise to come back with an autopsy confirming a suicide, or that an inmate with a kid just killed him cause he's a flipping sex offender. I expect by then Robert will already know Aaron thinks he killed Gordon. Don't care much for this part of the story either. I'm not much of a Robron fan but ED is doing the same thing they did with Aaron and Jackson. No physical contact, and barley even boyfriends. I just think it's silly, especially when they have no problem showing Belle (17) with Dr. Bailey (late 30's).

[@monk3yboy69]

Belle and Dr Bailey are straight, so the public can deal with that, albeit uncomfortable to watch a teenager with a mature man. But each to his own, I guess. Poor Belle knows not what she is doing, and Dr Bailey may as well dig a grave once Caine finds out. But I think Middle Englanders still clutch their pearls at the sight of 2 men ......TOUCHING EACH OTHER! So not decent, darling, so not.

[@conorbyrne6969]

+Ray03595 Your right. This will only last an episode at most and I do think that it will be recorded as a suicide. You're also right about Robron and Aaron and Jackson, they seem best buddies at most. Don't get me wrong I'm not looking for mad passionate scenes, I'm not a pda person myself but still one can pick up the difference between people who are best friends and people who are lovers.

[@iwantsifegold]

Did he really read it ?

[@thesedays99]

Yes, he told Adam he did originally.

[@blakeseven5305]

I commented before that Robert should have given Aaron the letter because Gordon could kill himself and that would be the last communication and it should be up to Aaron to decide as it would affect both him and Liv and that was a few parts ago. It was easy to see where this was heading back then. It should have been Aaron's call not Roberts and I am not even sure that Robert read the letter. Any way this could now snowball as Liv heard everything and is going to see what she can find out and if she finds out Robert killed Katie she'll get him in trouble

[@Babyblues197620011]

Yep I agree with you. Oh the drama, kinda tired of it. It would be nice for them to be happy even for a week or hell better yet one dang day even.

[@thesedays99]

So they teased the Robron fans by pretending to put them together and they're pleasing the other half that don't want them together.

[@emmettegamble3184]

They aren't breaking up. I read that they are in for the long haul.

[@geenarae]

God why did I rewatch this??? oh that's right because I hate myself! Now I'm just angry all over again. for once would they lay off Robert, he didn't kill him! Even if he did - but he didn't - it's not exactly a sad thing. G*rdon was a monster and honestly would have deserved to be killed. it kills me that they're first inclination is to blame Robert, he's trying so hard and they keep beating him down. ED is really starting to get under my skin with all this Robert bashing, and continuous need to put strain on Robron. I love the drama and I don't want to lose that but for once can we just have a moments peace ffs!!! they better make things right tomorrow or I'm gonna die over the weekend waiting for monday

[@allanathomas6977]

I am in total agreement with you. Robert has done so much to try and help Aaron but now at the drop of a hat they are all ready to throw him under the bus. Kane of all people should not be saying anything because he has always qanted to kill Gordon once he found out. I won't even get started on Chaz because I will only piss myself off more than I already am. Hell these people are never careful as to who may hear them. Liv hearing is just a big ole problem because we all know that she was never a fan of Robert. Knowing her I believe that she ma6 do something to get at Robert or try to physically hurt or kill him. I know that Robert is head over heels for Aaron but I would honestly say that he should get the hell away from that family. Since Liv has come into the picture, Aaron has just thrown Robert onto the back burner. The writers better sort this SHIT out by Monday the latest. All Robert wants is to be LOVED and appreciated by Aaron and that is not happening. Aaron is always seeing the wrong in everything that Robert does. One thing is certain for me though if anything happens to Robert because of Liv I am so going to want to see Aaron, Chaz and Kane suffer. Writers you need to get your shit together and let PEACE rain for Robert, the guy needs a DAMN break after all the things that he has done for Aaron... #I-am-so-DAMN-PISSED-off

[@geenarae]

Allana Thomas I can't wait to see their faces after they confront Robert only to have DS Wise show up and confirm that it wasn't even murder but suicide. I really want Robert to lay into them and bring out his trash side and tell them just how much they can go and fuck themselves. Then I want Aaron to run after him and do some grovelling of his own for once. I think Rob just needs to take a well needed break from everything. He needs to take that trip to Barcelona by himself and get some well deserved R&R.

[@allanathomas6977]

Geena Rae Exactly. After everything that Robert has done for Aaron you would think that Aaron and his family would give him the benefit of thinking him innocent. After the DS has said it was suicide and Robert curses them out he should pack up and leave without a backwards glance at Aaron. Aaron needs to stew in his self centered self and watch the good version of Robert walk away..

[@hassanjalal4990]

what the hell is hapening!!!!! i am freaking out right now.what is wrong with the writers they are hardly together and now this mess again.i am sick of it.as a robron fan i have waited too much for them to be together and the writers are fucking up again.i am angry at aaron he is behaving like an idiot.

[@kenlal8049]

I don't think Robert could've been capable of planning something like killing someone. It's obvious that he cares and loves Aaron and besides when it comes to making rash decisions with no consequences like killing someone the only one that could be capable of doing so is Cain. In a way I feel like if anyone had planned to killed Gordon then would've been Liv's mom, Rhonna. She is the only one we know that left and went into hiding so that Gordon couldn't find her or her daughter. She was protecting her from Gordon. For all we know Gordon could've been a monster to her and would've almost killed her if she didn't leave the situation she was in. There's still so many missing details that we don't know yet. We still don't know what happened to Rhonna and why she went into hiding.

[@cloudyday3799]

Liv's mom is not Rhona it is Sandra

[@matildauebel1318]

+Ken Lal I apologize for correcting you, but Rhona is Paddys wife. Livs mothers name is Sandra.

[@kenlal8049]

+Matilda Uebel Sorry My bad! I meant to say Sandra and not Rhonna! Thanks for the heads up!

[@kenlal8049]

+cloudy day Sorry my mistake! I meant to say Sandra and not Rhonna!

[@thesedays99]

It would be the 1st time, Katey was a damn accident. Tired of this.

[@blakeseven5305]

It was not an accident, it was manslaughter under English law (which doesn't require intent to kill or hurt someone). If you push someone and they fall to their death then that's not an accident but if Katie would have slipped herself then that's an accident. That is like me saying I argued with someone near a busy road and pushed them and they fell in to oncoming traffic but it was an accident. If you lay hands on someone and use force and it results in their death and it was not self defence etc it is not an accident

[@thesedays99]

+Blake Seven manslaughter yes. because of his actions she's dead. He meant to push her. hE did not intend to kill her= an accident.

[@blakeseven5305]

Again an accident is driving a car that hits a lamp post with a passenger in it that is an accidental death under English law ( as long as you weren't drinking etc). Let's clear this as soon as you use force-does not matter if you intended or not-it is not an accident if they die as much as Robron fans wish it - I know English law . He locked her in a room and then pushed her a couple of times.

[@thesedays99]

+Blake Seven Ok Blake

[@blakeseven5305]

Seven

[@99mysmile99]

WHY

[@agojiedoramilaje27]

Of course Aaron is not happy that his abuser dad is dead no matter how much he deserved to be, he was his father and Aaron is a good person, Robert should understand that and no matter how much you're protecting someone and you think you're doing it for them, it doesn't justify taking a decision out of their hands by keeping that letter from him. And it makes sense that people are wondering if Robert killed him, he has been known to go to great lengths to protect someone he loves so he reads the letter finds out Gordon is suicidal, arranges to have him killed all to protect Aaron who has said he never wants to deal with Gordon ever again! not so far fetched

[@juanpaez9998]

Ohhh hell no. Not this shit again. They didn't even get proper screen time as a real couple and they are going to be apart again?!?!??

[@cmaj129]

If they don't want these two together why in the hell did they get them hooked up again. I know he has done some awful things in the past but, he was trying to make up for them and they won't let him. Maybe best he just move on cause they aren't going to let him be happy and Aaron seems as though it's over anyhow So sad

[@danielsvong]

Oh no, this is not gonna happen again!!!!!

[@zgsttennessee4335]

That the old Robert. But I don't believe Robert put a hit out on Gordon.

[@calebmahony3921]

what the #@@#, when their finally about to be a couple!!!! Poor Robert, They should write a new gay love interest in for Robert, his finally turning things around for him self and they have to do this....

[@iwantsifegold]

Robert didn't put a hit on his dad

[@johnray063]

I don't believe that Robert did this. If Aaron accuses him this may be the end of there relationship. It is true that Robert has been quite nasty in the past and still has the ability to be just as nasty. I just don't think he did it. If the storyline is going in the direction of breaking them up then so be it. They need to add another character for Robert to fall for so Aaron can realize just how much Robert means to him. On Hollyoak they just introduced a new character to come between Ste and Harry. Also the writers are not afraid to write a great storyline for Ste and Harry. Am I sick or is Cain hot. I really love that rugged greasy mechanic look he has. What I would allow those greasy hands to do to me. LOL. Thanks Aaron fan for all the videos.

[@gigem1977]

Same-sex relationships are just not allowed to go well in soap operas.

[@chesterdikkie7231]

What the hell, really - to just think that Robert had him done in, Nah this is just wrong, come on people really. Pure Dingle thinking... sighs

[@markmark6216]

I must say that the recent events and the way this story is being written and presented is disturbing and disappointing. I want to believe they have a weird motive for putting the breaks to this relationship. But it frankly it leaves one to make weird speculation instead . Is there a alternative motive here? Is it possible one of these actors wants out? The one I think is Danny Miller. Recent events on the set between himself and other actors and the negative feelings toward him has maybe taken its toll? I just do not think the direction of writing is defendable or makes any sense at all. Certainly not a choice Shakespeare would have made or even a harlequin novel writer .

[@ayaanmalik8645]

R u kidding me !! Seriously aroon ???

[@rayamore7512]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!! where the hell did come from, organize a hit, really... im furious, but not at chaz, or (his name here) no, but at aaron, u defended him wen liv talks shit, but he gets rid of a letter n its organized murder conspiracy. ..im with robert, and adam, aaron said he didnt want it, to move on, leav it to a dingle to throw everything out of proportion or jump to conclusions

[@blakeseven5305]

Not that simple, Aaron still needs closure. He was abused. He told Robert himself that the guilty verdict has bought no closure to him and that he thought he would feel different. It is not as simple as just moving on in any abuse case. In any case it was not Robert's call about the letter and doesn't matter how hedious Gordon is Aaron did not want him dead, we saw that when Caine went to kill him

[@rayamore7512]

+Blake Seven well thx for the therapy session, I can tell ur the understanding one in a relationship, so understand this...im not stupid, I kno full well how this story is trying to progress, dats not my issue, im mad cuz I fear dis is how robert n aaron r gonna become distant, robert may be ruthless but hes confident n strong, n dedicated to his passions in life, hes great for aaron, I cant see anyone else takin his place, im sure even u can understand dis, or anyone, if in aarons shoes, how long wood u stay mad at robert? wood u break up over dis or eventually forgive him? because i am also "understanding" enough to kno, dat robert had good intentions.

[@blakeseven5305]

+Ray Amore anytime

[@nixxer01]

im starting not to watch this anymore aaron totally ungrateful to rob damn it

[@chapmanenigma2873]

This is insulting!! There has to be some drama/conflict between Aaron & Robert. It's lame & lazy to go down that road (yeah you writers of the show).

[@jezter624]

now this is getting ridiculous...but i guess it wouldn't be a soap with these cheesy plot turns

[@tedrepsholdt710]

The writer's need to do a better job - not dragging us through the muck.

[@azbreed]

Sorry, but I think I am done watching this for a while. Can't they just let Robert be the good guy for a little while at least. Keep in mind I don't think he did it. And let him and Aaron be happy at least for, I don't know a year and then mess them up instead of every couple months and then spend forever getting them back together. This is getting a little ridiculous.

[@allanathomas6977]

I am in total agreement with you. I shall just wait to see if set things straight for Robert by Monday. The poor guy just needs a DAMN break from all this drama...

[@azbreed]

Here's hoping they set things straight and don't go down the Robert is evil road again. I love Aaron, but I would like to see him appreciate how much Robert loves him and what he does for him for a little while atleast.

[@allanathomas6977]

***** So DAMN true. I am getting fed up with Aaron's behaviour towards Robert. When he wants Robert's help no problem whatsoever but after he is done he just throws the poor guy away like a FREAKING ragdoll... I am sick and tired of it. They need to fix this by Monday of Robert should walk away from Aaron for good. He does not need the head and heartache that is Aaron even though he LOVES the guy..

[@azbreed]

I agree. I like Aaron but they have made him a little self centered as of late.

[@allanathomas6977]

+azbred Yes, especially that DEVIL of a sister came into the show. I still don't like or trust her. Just her facial expression at the end tells me she is going to hurt or try to KILL Robert...

[@KennedyAdams5]

This. Is. Ridiculous.

[@colefoxter2219]

What WRONG with this family??

[@BCause-qv1mk]

What and incredibly idiotic nonsense! I expect decent quality writing and not some telenovela rubbish. Mashed potatoes for brains, that's what this is. Scrapyard confrontation was excellent, great delivery and heart-wrenching dialogue. Gives me hope that this is just a fleeting insanity, writers must be tripping.

[@chiedu90069]

Horrible writers. None of this makes the slightest bit of sense and feels like a contrived way to keep the boys apart. Meh!

[@glaspies]

What type of fresh Hell is this. Aaron is crazy. Robert is crazy about this guy. All he wants to do please Aaron and try to get along with his family who hate Robert. If Aaron doesn't take the leash off that he has put Robert on some other guys going to try and get with him . These 2 deserve to be happy; and I know is hard for writing team to realize this, but it's okay to some happy moments too.
