What’s your favorite Robert and Aaron scene?

I have tons but this 👇 is one of my all time favs and it's really underrated I think. People always talk about their weddings and reunion and Super Soap Week 2016 and those all have some fantastic scenes but this one is a little different.

It's at the end of the (first) wedding episode. There's a lot of excitement and happiness throughout the entire ep but this scene brings back the reality of what they're facing. There's also the fact that not long before the wedding they were dealing with all that drama that almost made them split up and led to Aaron getting arrested.

Yet in this moment outside of the pub away from everyone else you see how much they're recommitted to one another and how much the very idea that they're going to be torn apart for any length of time is killing them both.

Also I love how vulnerable they both are in this scene. Rob talking about Jack and how much it clearly meant to him that Aaron stepped in when Diane was talking about him. Even though it's only a brief part of the convo it's important because Rob doesn't open up a lot about Jack.

Aaron opening up about how scared he was and how he didn't want to leave Rob and Rob telling him how much he didn't want him to go either.

Them using the Mr. Sugden and Mr. Dingle line for the first time.

The scene ending with Rob just holding Aaron like maybe if he could just keep him there in his arms everything would be okay.

Such a powerful scene but done in this quiet beautiful way and it will always be one that gets to me everytime I watch it.

Also I love the song in the background. (It's a cover of Rihanna's Please don't stop the music by Jamie Cullum)
