Robert and John’s war is raging on in Emmerdale spoilers

John wants rid of Robert, and the feeling is entirely mutual. The two rivals have spent the past few weeks trying to dig the dirt on one another, while Aaron’s been caught in the middle.

Aaron’s words have now persuaded Robert to stay and put roots down in the village. It’s also given thousands of Robron fans hopes for a romantic reunion between their boys.

But that’s not going to happen if John’s got anything to do with it. And this week he hatches a plan to turn Aaron against Robert.
