Robert and Kim have betrayed Moira in Emmerdale spoilers

Ruthless Robert is well and truly back, and the fans are loving it! Recent scenes saw him team up with Kim to sell the fields he’d just purchased from Moira under false pretenses.

The sneaky scam started with Robert stealing the stash of weed that Lewis, Ross and Mack had been cultivating at Butlers. A transaction with dealer Ray later and Robert had the funds he needed to execute his plan.

Robert then approached Moira with the offer of purchasing Annie’s field, which was once Sugden land. He laid it on thick with a sentimental sob story, about how he wanted to live up to his family’s name. Moira, who was already in a sticky position due to the slurry leak fine, agreed to sell at a knock-down price.

It later transpired Robert was in on the whole thing with Kim. The duo toasted to their new deal with champagne as Robert revealed he’d be selling Annie’s Field onto Kim for a profit.

But now it seems cunning Kim may have her own secret agenda…

Kim tries to trick Robert

With Moira still none the wiser, Robert arranges a covert meeting with Kim at Home Farm to sign over Annie’s Field.

Meanwhile, Kim has a plan of her own, one which her step-grandson Joe is in on. Before Robert arrives, Kim and Joe discuss tactics and she reiterates how crucial it no one finds out what they’re up to. But in fact, it’s Kim who ends up arousing suspicion.

As Robert arrives with the paperwork he starts to detect desperation on Kim’s part. He refuses to sign over the land, leaving Kim furious.

Later, Robert surveys Annie’s Field as he tries to work out just why this land is so valuable to Kim.
