Yahoo News Emmerdale plans explosive Robron scenes next month
Emmerdale is lining up a major new crisis point for Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle next month, as their relationship hangs in the balance in tense scenes.
Show producer Iain MacLeod has revealed his future plans for the popular couple, confirming that they will get through the turmoil that engulfs their marriage over the coming weeks.
Much to the shock of Robron's vocal fanbase, Robert cheated on Aaron with his old flame Rebecca White last month – jumping into bed with her while his tormented husband was going through hell in prison.
While some viewers reckon the cheating scandal has tarnished Robron, Iain has insisted that the pair's relationship is strong enough to survive for years to come – even after the truth about Rebecca comes out.
Speaking to Digital Spy and other media at an Emmerdale press day, Iain explained: "We've got big Robert and Aaron stuff coming up at the beginning of May. There's a state of the nation type, hour-long episode where their relationship is hanging in the balance.
"I hope it will answer some of the concerns the ardent Robron fans have about the direction that the story is taking. I hope it will satisfy their worries and they'll have to take their counsellors off speed dial.
"I'm as anxious as everyone else to see Robert and Aaron have a happy ending, but my personal view on soap couples generally is that happy couples tend not to get much screen time.
"The couples who are best are the ones with in-built conflict and the ones who make mistakes, make up, break up and hurt each other, but have passionate make-up sex.
"I'd much rather watch that than watch people go for a candlelit supper at the Grange – which we will do at some point, but if you do it in every episode, it becomes wearisome.
"I know there are Robron fans out there currently carving an effigy of me from any bit of driftwood they might have found, but genuinely in 2, 3, 5 years time, will Robert and Aaron be together? Yes is the answer to that.
"There maybe some turbulence and passion, and hopefully grand, operatic level scenes everyone will love."
Iain also confirmed that it's very much still the plan for Robron to have a second wedding at some point in the future.
The pair's last ceremony at The Woolpack wasn't a legal one as it was arranged so hastily, and the guys ended up exchanging their vows privately at the garage anyway.
Iain added: "At some point there will be a second wedding. We've not storylined it yet, but we deliberately didn't make their first wedding official because only an idiot would rule out the possibility of there being two Robron weddings.
"Despite what some people may feel on Twitter, I'm not an idiot, so we'll definitely be getting an official church, register office or Vegas romantic wedding that will hopefully be heartwarming, joyous and everything everyone wants it to be."
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
