#second generation plot device

Wow. It’s almost as if Robert has lost the love of his life, his family, is being railroaded into having a child he doesn’t want, and is being attacked by everyone for one mistake.

“I’ve only got your word for it.”

The Theory lives!

So no one was with Rebecca when she was being checked out.  No one was there when she had her scan (which she would have done, if she was pregnant and presenting with cramps).  No medical professional has been seen talking about the baby.

Either this is the shittiest writing ever or there’s way more to this.

The problem is with Emmerdale?  It really could be either.

"I lied to Chrissie a hundred times and never felt it.  I lie to you and it rips my heart out.”

You ripped mine out, Robert.

So he has NO ONE on his case and NO threats and he’s still going to tell Aaron.  THIS is the Robert Sugden we have gotten to know of late, the one who will always try to put Aaron first.

And it’s breaking his heart because he’s going to lose him but he needs to do it.

So this is how it goes, yes?

Robert tells Aaron, thinking there’s no baby

Aaron forgives Rob the ONS (ish, unresolved drama to come)

Aaron speaks to Rebecca about it

She “turns the tables” by telling him she’s still pregnant

Aaron then has to be the one to tell Robert

YOU NEED TO GIVE THIS TO US, ED.

I’m never going to be over that Aaron “I won’t be part of that freakshow” Dingle and Robert “doesn’t need to know everything about me” Sugden are so in love and so open and so honest with each other, that they’re married and building a home together, they talk about things and support each other.  That neither of them can keep things from the other - Aaron’s time in prison and The Incident being recent examples - and that even though it would be easier to keep it to themselves they don’t.  Can’t.

I’m never going to be over Aaron’s openness and softness with his husband.  I’m never going to be over Robert’s honesty and vulnerability.  I’m never going to be over the fact that there’s a part of them which is solely for the other.

I’m never going to be over the fact that this is their home, their lives, the promise of a future.  I’m not over the fact that they kissed in the pub while not-dancing to Adele and didn’t care about being part of any freakshow or people knowing that side of Robert.

I’m never going to be over the way that they know each other.

It’s such growth and I love their love.

That scan looks like the one I have of my nephew on my fridge.

The 20 week scan.
