Here’s the thing: if 911 was in more capable hands, I think I’d be fine just enjoying it for whatever it was—whether that was full camp/disaster of the weeks or drawn-out found family supportive arcs. The problem is, Minear cannot get a script together early enough to save his life, plans nothing in advance, so we sort of end up with these really intense stories that were told to expect to see the fallout for and then they go nowhere; but we also don’t just get to enjoy the week-by-week shenanigans either because that’s not the focus and it just highlights how very little development had actually happened for these characters in 10 years, though some much more prominent than others.

"Meanwhile, at Butler's, Robert is touched to see that Aaron has repaired the 'Emmerdale Farm' sign for him. The pair reflect on the 'Sugden’s Reboot' as they begin a new chapter together."

I know I’m in the minority but I am actually loving this Kev storyline. I think it’s showing a really complex issue in an enjoyable way (for now) and I actually really love Kev. I love that he is so in love with Robert and intensely protective and insecure and angry and unsure—it’s just such an interesting thing to watch a man who’s been in prison for 20 years give or take and has no idea who he is outside of that.

It also so interesting because he is simultaneously who Aaron might have become without Paddy and also so reminiscent of 2024-15 Robert. But in a way that feels fresh and exciting. Because as complicated as Kev is, his relationship with Robert is just as complicated. There’s genuine care and love between them, but also a deep understanding/fear that maybe the only thing between them is trauma bonding. And I’m really enjoying watching this play out.

And the Aaron of it all is also so interesting and frustrating because I know they’ll fight about this, and I hope it leads to more than just this. Because yes Aaron has feelings and anger over their divorce he’s not really expressed — plus the John of it all- but Robert also had a lot do feelings that he hasn’t been able to express. It just has the potential to be such an explosive moment that could go either way and I’m excited for it!

Truly so interesting to me and even if canon goes to shit, there’s so much potential for amazing fics that I am so excited about!

bobby escapes the government lab with amnesia but he remembers just enough to make his way to the firehouse out of habit. a new probie sees this confused disheveled man trying to enter the station and asks “what’s your name?” and bobby does that thing characters do where they try to come up with an alias by looking around and saying random words or objects they can see. so bobby looks up at the firehouse wall and says “i’m uhhhhh robert w nash”

I actually am curious where 911 is going this season. I have absolutely zero expectations for this show at this point but if they actually allow Buck to mentor Harry as a way to show his own growth a bit, I won’t continue to shit talk the decision to kill Bobby wasn’t even used to bring in another woman to fire house.

It also scans for toxic vibes.

It would be sooo fun if Murph DM-ed a Dimension 20 campaign about the Wind Riders in the old days with Brennan as a PC playing Comfrey

Kev pointing Emmerdale | 29.09.2025

I know the “can we retcon the dying part and keep Chris” are mostly jokes but I can’t stop thinking about how crucial the dying aspect is to all of this.

It’s not there as some meta fallback for the robroners, I don’t buy the money angle at all, the dying is the reason all this is happening and not just because it means Kev is out, because to be honest even if he wasn’t I think Robert would still feel the same.

Ryan said himself, Robert “never thought he’d see Kev again” as if he was just going to seal him away from his future forever. He jumped into Operation Get Aaron Back with two feet and seemed okay with it. His memories of prison were surrounding his trauma and difficulty adjusting, not his relationship.

But now Kev is dying. Sure he can use the inheritance as a pretty decent reason for doing all this, but I just don’t think it’s true.

Dying is a lot. You don’t have to be madly in love with someone to be affected by them dying. Hell, many survivors will talk about their conflicting feelings when their abusers are dying, just look at Jeanette McCurdy.

It’s clear now Kev isn’t Jason. He wasn’t a tormentor, I’d probably say he wasn’t an abuser (though the dynamics still hold some concern), the relationship most likely wasn’t healthy but I think considering the circumstances it was a relationship, and still is.

Robert’s in love with Aaron, he knows it, Aaron knows it, anyone within earshot of Robert over the past six months knows it. It’s so certain, loving Aaron is as simple as breathing air.

Kev was there when Aaron wasn’t and it was okay but now he is there and Kev’s there and he’s dying and Robert doesn’t know what to think. He doesn’t know how he’s supposed to feel and he can’t confide in anyone and Kev is dying.

I will accept Bobby’s death and BuckTommy break up in canon, but I absolutely will never acknowledge Baby Boy Han as anything other than Kevin Nash Han.

aaron: i'm an adult mum you don't get a say in how i live my life

aaron later: great news robert my mum said i'm allowed to date you

I know I’ve already said I love Robert x Kev , but I am really confused what the show things about this… because it feels like they’re hitting me over the head with how Robert is bad and wrong and evil for being married to someone else but I don’t fully get why. Like even completely taking out the potential abusive elements, what does Robert do anyone else’s business right now? Like should he tell Aaron, probably, but Aaron picked John every time Robert put himself out there and now he’s being incredibly clear that they’re just going to be friends right now. (Whether Robert was ever going to tell Aaron / others is a moot point to me it doesn’t matter in context of this story.)

But my point is, apart from ultimately wanting Robert and Aaron together eventually, what am I supposed to feel here according to the show? Because all I am feeling is extreme sadness for Robert for losing possibly the one person he’s had for years. I just feel like lately, I cannot pinpoint what i’m meant to be feeling about stories / characters because it’s absolutely not clear. (Look at the gabby/vinny or April drug dealer plot for other current examples)
