ITV/Comp Emmerdale Insider Share By Carena Crawford Jul 9 2025 By Carena Crawford Jul 9 2025 The Sugdens are back - but how much longer are we going to have to wait for the Sugden-Dingle reunion everyone is talking about When will Aaron see what's in front of his face? Aaron Dingle Robert Sugden The Sugden Family Share By Carena Crawford Jul 9 2025 By Carena Crawford Jul 9 2025 Robert Sugden made a bold – and very exciting – declaration in Emmerdale on Tuesday night (July 8): The Sugdens are back. But it’s not just the Sugden family we want back, is it? Oh no! We want the Sugden-Dingle union everyone is talking about – so just how much longer will we have to wait for Aaron to realise he belongs with Robert? Robert and Aaron belong together (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock) Why aren’t Aaron Dingle and Robert Sugden together in Emmerdale? One word: John. John Sugden has wormed his way into Aaron’s life and is determined to stay there. John is Robert and Victoria’s half-brother. He arrived and romanced Aaron while Robert was still in prison. But then we found out he was hiding a dark secret (aren’t they always?!) John is in fact a killer. Not necessarily in cold blood – he likes to save people and sometimes that means bringing them to the edge of death before he can. Other times that means he takes it too far and they die anyway. Well, you can’t win ’em all, can you? article continues below Read all the latest spoilers Currently John is trying to cover up the fact he was responsible for Nate Robinson’s death. But Robert can see he is hiding something and is clearly playing the long game to expose exactly what. Robert returned to Emmerdale on Aaron and John’s wedding day. Although he initially disrupted proceedings, Aaron did actually go through with it and married John. Big mistake. Huge. Because we all know Robron belong together, right? Right. Even Aaron knows it, he just won’t admit it yet. But he will, we’re sure of it. John and Aaron are not endgame (Credit: ITV) It’s what the people want! As well as the Sugden family reigning supreme, Aaron and Robert together is what the fans want, that is certain. “We need robron back here. Also, when they get married again they need to change there surname to Sugden-Dingle! So glad Ryan came back he’s been so missed,” shared one on social media. Another added: “Who knew just bringing one old character back would ignite emmerdale again glad Rob’s back, but will be even better when he and Aaron get back together!” “Can we get the Sugden-Dingles back now too please,” begged a third. A fourth said: “Why divide them when they can be one family when Robron gets back together. I can’t wait for Sugden-Dingle family!” “I’m so ready for this original family’s new arc and for Robron to come back!” said one more. Robert wants Aaron, but John is a problem! (Credit: ITV) So when will Robron reunite in Emmerdale? Well, there’s no official word that Aaron and Robert will ever get back together. But what’s the point of bringing Robert back if it isn’t going to happen? We know that John has to get caught out soon. Oliver Farnworth has hinted he is only contracted for a year, which would mean he’ll be off screens around about September. They may well push it to Super Soap Week in October and have him found out then. There is also set to be an upcoming storyline involving Mack and Aaron. “We’ve got big stuff for Aaron and Mackenzie towards the end of summer into autumn,” Emmerdale boss Laura Shaw revealed. “We’ve got a big week of episodes planned there that is going to be life-changing for those two. She continued: “We’ve still got that flashforward from New Year to pay off – we haven’t forgotten about that – that might happen then, you’ll have to wait and see.” Crucially, there is no mention of John in this big storyline. However there is also no mention of Robert either. So does that mean next year will be when we finally get to see Robron reunited? Or could it be a Christmas miracle?
