John takes Aaron camping in Emmerdale spoilers

Given John Sugden likes to live out of his van, a spot of camping in the wilderness is right up his street. Aaron however doesn’t do camping. Come on, you’ve been on the run that many times, you’ve slept in far worse places, mate!

Aaron’s reaction is not quite what John was hoping for when he tells him about the surprise trip. But John doesn’t let that stop him and he drags Aaron off anyway.

The couple find themselves talking more openly than ever before whilst out in nature. It makes their emotional connection deeper than ever before too.

With John and Aaron finding some happiness, they confess that they love each other. So sweet!

However if you ask us, that means Emmerdale plans to ruin their union…

Robert return on Christmas Day speculated

After show boss Iain Macleod said in an interview with Digital Spy back in September: “This Christmas, there is a huge surprise arrival on Christmas Day,” many fans have speculated it’s the return of Robert Sugden.

Currently serving time in prison for killing sister Victoria’s rapist Lee Posner, Robert was Aaron’s one true love. They weathered many a storm together, but Rob let Aaron go when he was sent down.

Aaron has proved he’s not quite forgotten Robert – as displayed when he found out Rebecca had died and left Robert’s son, who Aaron doted on, without a mother. John picked up on his residual feelings for Robert and it made things awkward.

But after actually talking about it, they decided to move on and move forward together. This declaration of love is the next stage in that. But could Robert return and mess everything up again? Who knows, but it’s certainly what the fans want!
