so i was looking through some old posts searching for a particular bit of robron lore, and i stumbled upon one from way back in 2020 which included me listing the top 10 characters i wanted gone from the show. the names on the list were as follows:

Paddy, Liv, Chas, Wendy, Luke, Dan, Amelia, Andrea, Will, Harriet

you know what, 8/10 isn't too shabby! and the fact that half of those 8 were actually killed off so there's no possibility of them returning – talk about a win 🙌

also seeing all those names laid out like that... god we really were in the trenches in terms of dud characters back then weren't we?

lowkey kinda want to write a present-day fic referencing the whole 1995 “robert goes missing” storyline. where the dingles are having a family get together (with robron there obvs) and someone like zak just casually brings up the time sam pretended to have kidnapped wee robert in an attempt to get money out of the sugdens.

and aaron’s like, ...sorry sam did what?

and sam’s like, calm down i didn’t ACTUALLY kidnap him. but soz robert.

robert’s like, eh no worries.

and for a second aaron relaxes, thinking it’s just another dumb thing sam did

until sam looks at robert and is like, hey so who did kidnap you then?

and again aaron’s like, WHAT???

robert’s rolling his eyes like, no one kidnapped me, i was just a little bit missing for a couple of weeks

zak’s like, yeah it were on the news and everythin’

and aaron’s like, WHAT THE FUCK ROBERT WHERE WERE YOU

robert’s like, eh i just ran away from home. i got taken in by this hermit who used to be a paratrooper or smthn idk. he brought me back after a while, no harm done

and everyone kind of nods and goes back to what they were doing but aaron’s just sat there like
