I think that Liv would have disagreed with John and Aaron's relationship at first because she would have found it weird that John is Robert's half brother and she was also very attached to Robert. She might have eventually come round and accepted John in time because Aaron loved him but we'll never know.

Yeah, good point. Though Vic brought up how weird it was that John was Robert's half-brother and she got over it pretty quick, despite have more reason than anyone to be uncomfortable with it all.

I think ultimately, with the way soaps are nowadays, you aren't going to get much in the way of genuine reactions from characters. For instance, I kind of thought Vic would have had more to say about John dating Aaron, and even moving in with him after 2 months, but she didn't really.

And that's not at all me wanting the John storyline to go on much longer than it did so we had more time with him. 😁

What do you think Faith and Liv would have thought of John when he was in his relationship with Aaron if they'd been alive?

Oh wow, idk! Great question anon!

I think Liv would have been liked John since I think she would have seen John the same way the rest of the village did. I could totally see John charming her.

I wonder about Faith. She was pretty shrewd at times. I'm thinking she might have been suspicious like Mack was.

I'm so curious what my fellow John fans think though.

I always sort of felt that John and Victoria physically resembled Jack's side of the family the Sugdens (e.g. brunettes, longer faces etc), whilst Robert probably took more after Pat and the Harkers. That's why Robert looks so much different to them having blue-green eyes and blonde hair. Robert even looks a lot more like his full blood brother Jackie than John or Vic.

Fair enough! I can see it! Though I personally think Robert has that longer Sugden face. Not so much now but when he was younger, for sure.

I see a huge physical resemblance between all three of John, Robert and Vic. Great casting.

The blonde hair and blue eyes is definitely different though.

I kind of want to see John with blonde hair now that we're talking about it.

Do you like aaron more or john more? Or robert more and your profile name is red herring🫣🫣

For me it goes:

John

Aaron

Robert

I do like Aaron a LOT though. But I just love John. I think he is great. I find him so incredibly compelling and I miss him.

Robert lags behind in third. I think he's fine but he kind of just seems to be there. Especially nowadays. Makes him a little boring compared to his contemporaries like Joe and Ross who have a bit more of a spark and purpose to them.

Honestly I don't really recognise this Robert compared to the one who left in 2019. He feels like a different character to me.

If the current Aaron grew his curls out and had a full beard he'd look absolutely perfect 👌

I absolutely miss his curls and his full beard! Full beard especially since idk if I'm that keen on the more shaved look he's sporting of late.

I also think he needs to eat more. I'm glad he's sober but when it comes to eating, life is for living.

I really liked his look last year before he started his health journey. That said if he's feeling happier and healthier as a result, good for him.
