Two characters could team up to take down Emmerdale villain John Sugden, and one of them might be a little unexpected.

Robert Sugden is hotly tipped to target his love rival and half-brother John, following John’s wedding to his ex Aaron Dingle. Ryan Hawley reprised his role in a major twist six years after he left the show in a recent episode.


Robert is soon returning full-time, and fans are so ready for him to possibly uncover the truth about John’s crimes, including the m.u.r.d.e.r of Nate Robinson. But will another character team up with Robert and help him target John in a twist?


One cast member certainly thinks it would be a good twist when we quizzed them about the possibility of it happening. Mike Parr, who plays Ross Barton, spoke exclusively to The Mirror at the British Soap Awards.

He teased Ross could tease up with Robert in a separate plot, to possibly pave the way for the return of Robert’s son and Ross’ stepson Seb. But we took the moment to see how far Ross and Robert teaming up could go, and whether it could lead to the characters trying to bring down k.i.l.l.e.r John.

We asked about whether Ross might help Robert to get John, and he said: “Ooh yeah that would be good! If they can take him out to stop him taking other people out. John is always there at the right time, no one’s noticed that yet.”

With Ross actor Mike keen to see the pair join forces, could it lead to a twist with John? As for the plot with Seb, Mike shared: “That was my first question.

“I thought surely either we are gonna be fighting over this kid or we will try to get him back. I don’t know which I would rather, I mean I tried to shoot him, he stole my weed the last time he was there.


“They are always fighting but they might be a good team to work together, and maybe it would be good if they did join forces.” Mike also addressed the return of Robert, saying it was exciting for the fans.

He shared: “When you get a character who you maybe haven’t always been involved with but you know it’s gonna be a huge positive for the show, it’s going to be huge. For the audience it’s so important, and it’s someone they’re loud over.

“I knew that they would be over the moon and I’m so happy for them.” Viewers are hoping for a Robron reunion for Robert and Aaron now that they are both back in the village.

It’s not just viewers though, with stars Natalie J Robb and Bradley Riches clearly backing the reunion too. They told us at the awards: “Hashtag Robron!”
