Fully updated list with dates for all Robert mentions (plus other somewhat Rob related show content) we've had since Aaron's return in October 2023. Please note that the quotes are not exact as I just write them down from memory.
Pinned to my blog and I'll add more as we go 🤞

• December 13 - Victoria tells Aaron 'You sound like you're speaking from experience' when Aaron said she should wait for Jacob if he's the one. Followed by her then saying 'Speaking of the one, Robert's doing okay'.
2024
○ January 15 - Aaron's drunken pause to Victoria
• January 18 - Charity reminds Aaron of the time he and Robert were 'raising Seb together', * first Seb mention in years
• January 30 - Aaron rattles of all the 'ghosts' on his list to Mack, but Robert was the only on there that's still alive, * first time Aaron has spoken Robert's name since his exit episode in 2021
° March 1 - Aaron tells Vinny he will probably never have kids, so zero chance to pass on a faulty gene
• August 8 - Victoria tells John about their brother Robert, she also says to Eric that she's going to tell Robert about John, later Aaron has a very visible reaction to learning he's unknowingly hooked up with Robert's half brother and John looks at an old Sugden family photo at Vic's house
• August 9 - Aaron emotionally tells his mum that 'It's brought everything back - about Robert' and that he 'can't go there again'
• Aug 13 - Aaron says to Chas that he 'never would have gone there' if he had known John was Robert's brother
○ Aug 16 - Aaron advises Vinny that it's no use 'pining for someone who isn't there anymore'
• Aug 27 - Vic tells John 'It's nice to have someone in my corner, I haven't had that since Robert went away'
° Aug 29 - Victoria tells Aaron and John that this is 'messed up' and questions if Aaron wants to sleep with all her brothers
• Sep 2 - Vic tells Aaron him being involved with Robert's brother is 'a bit weird', Aaron tells her 'John won't replace Robert' for either of them, later John says he's 'not been auditioning as Robert's replacement'
• Sep 23 - Vic has found old family photos and wants to show John, mentions 'Rob and Andy' twice. Later, she finds out John's still seeing Aaron, and tells him 'You know Aaron is married to Robert, our brother?' (Yes, is, not was!)
• Oct 29 - Charity questions where Rebecca and Seb are after Ross brings Moses to an illegal fight *Second Seb mention this year, Charity also mentioned him in january
• Oct 30 - Ross talks about Seb a lot, while Charity asks if Robert knows about Rebecca's death. He just looks at her funny and doesn't answer, just says as far as he knows, he's still in prison
• Oct 31 - Robert is talked about throughout the whole episode, as is Seb, as Ross explains he went to see Robert in prison, where he signed papers for Seb to live in Bristol with Rebecca's aunt
• Nov 5 - More Robert and Seb talk, actual meaningful talk too, with Aaron reminicing of a time he had 'everything'. This one is extra significant because it shows Aaron looking at a photo of Robert and Seb on Vic's keychain 💛🍋
• Nov 6 - Even more Robert and Seb talk, Aaron tries to make out to John that just because he's thinking about Seb doesn't mean he still loves his dad. John doesn't believe him, and of course we don't either! Then John says rude things about Robert, which sets Aaron right off!
• Nov 8 - John apologises to Aaron for being weird about him and Robert
2025
• March 18 - Sam quips 'Loves marrying a Sugden, does our Aaron' after Aaron gets engaged to John *shudder as I write 😣 *
• April 24 - Aaron questions if John is still in love with Aidan, which in turn causes John to ask 'Are you still in love with Robert?', taking Aaron by surprise and he doesn't answer the question...
