journey, and were gutted when it came to an end in 2019. Robert was sentenced to 14 years in prison for the manslaughter of his sister Victoria\u2019s rapist Lee Posner. It has since transpired Lee\u2019s brother, Luke, may have been to blame for his sibling\u2019s fatal injuries. Now this sounds like an obvious get-out-of-jail card for Aaron\u2019s ex.<\/p>\n<p>So far, four actors have played the role of Robert. But we don\u2019t think the fans would be happy unless Ryan Hawley stepped back into the character\u2019s shoes. His on-screen chemistry with Danny Miller was a major part of Robert\u2019s appeal.<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div><div data-ad-slot=\"ad-slot2\"><\/div>\n<p>If Robert did make a return, then he\u2019s got a rival for Aaron\u2019s affections \u2013 in the form of his own half-brother!
