Aaron Dingle star Danny Miller is over the moon about the return of his former co-star Ryan Hawley to Emmerdale. The duo, who played the iconic couple “Robron,” have fans swooning once again as Robert Sugden makes his dramatic comeback to the Dales.

Danny made his Emmerdale debut in 2008 and has been central to some of the soap’s most memorable storylines. Over the years, Aaron has faced heartbreak, danger, and scandal, but the 2025 episodes have been especially charged with emotion.

Fans were devastated when Ryan Hawley departed the show in 2019, following his character Robert’s arrest for the death of Lee Posner. Now, his return has reignited a storyline that has captured viewers’ hearts for years.

Drama in the Dales

Since Robert’s return, Aaron’s world has been turned upside down. Despite being married to John Sugden, Aaron finds himself drawn back into Robert’s orbit. Earlier this year, Aaron had a one-night stand with Robert, setting the stage for tension and jealousy.

Recent episodes have explored John’s growing suspicions and protective instincts. A gruesome twist saw John chasing Mackenzie Boyd after learning of his connection to Nate Robinson’s death, heightening the drama and leaving Aaron caught between his current life and unresolved feelings for Robert.

Aaron even suggests to John that they take some time away from the village, a move that promises both complications and relief. Viewers are left wondering how Aaron will navigate the volatile mix of love, loyalty, and jealousy.

Danny Miller on Robron

Speaking on the Live, Laugh, Luke podcast with Luke Hamnett, Danny Miller shared his excitement about working with Ryan Hawley again. “Obviously John and Aaron are married, but Robert’s come back into the fold, which is just really exciting because I’ve been asking him for many years to come back,” he revealed.

He praised the on-screen chemistry, describing their relationship as “two worlds of different people.” Aaron’s grounded nature contrasts sharply with Robert’s manipulative and scheming tendencies. But when the two are together, Danny explains, they become “just this sort of ball of love and genuine feelings for one another and genuine soulmates.”

Off-Screen Friendship

Danny also highlighted his close friendship with Ryan Hawley off-screen. “He still annoys me immensely. But we’ve always been very close even outside of everybody else,” he said. The pair share similar approaches to acting and enjoy discovering moments in the script that resonate with both characters.

This off-screen bond translates into their on-screen performance, making Robron one of Emmerdale’s most beloved couples. Fans appreciate not only the drama and romance but also the authenticity that comes from a strong actor partnership.

What to Expect Next

With Robert back in the Dales, viewers can expect Aaron to face both danger and temptation. Jealousy, love triangles, and emotional tension will dominate the coming episodes. Aaron’s struggle between loyalty to John and unresolved feelings for Robert will be at the heart of the drama, keeping audiences hooked.

Danny Miller’s enthusiasm suggests that fans are in for an emotional rollercoaster. The return of Ryan Hawley isn’t just a plot twist—it’s a celebration of one of the soap’s most iconic couples. Robron’s story promises passion, heartbreak, and moments that remind viewers why they fell in love with the duo in the first place.
