Robert Sugden's Emmerdale return might not be what fans are expecting, actor Ryan Hawley has revealed.

After his exit in 2019 it was thought Ryan would never play Robert again, despite calls from both fans and co-stars for him to rejoin the show. In a major twist on Wednesday night Robert did in fact return to the ITV soap.

But speaking about Robert's comeback and his motives after six years away, Ryan may have teased he's not back for Aaron Dingle. Despite him gatecrashing ex-husband Aaron's wedding to new flame John Sugden, who happens to be Robert's half-brother who he has never met, Robert could have an unexpected motive for heading to the village.

⁘How has he even found out that this wedding was taking place? There's a lot to unpick and so much to be revealed over the next few nights. It's a great few episodes and I'm really excited to see them.⁘

⁘He's got a massive decision to make. I guess all the weight is on Aaron's shoulders.⁘ But all might not be as it seems, with it yet to be explained how Robert is out in the village and not still in prison where he's been for the last six years.

He shared: ⁘Rejoining the cast of Emmerdale feels fantastic. I've been having so much fun being back here. Oddly, more fun than I thought it was going to be, in a good way.
