EMMERDALE’S Aaron Dingle is left devastated after teaser clips for tonight’s ITV soap show him struggling to get his head around his ex’s prison bombshell.
The character, played by Danny Miller, is dealt a huge blow after learning Ryan Hawley’s character has switched jails – to one hundreds of miles away from the Dales.
Robert cruelly split with Aaron last week, leaving fans of the relationship dubbed Robron devastated.
Robert and Aaron’s marriage was at threat already after Robert was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 14 years before parole.
Things worsened when a prison officer informed him that he was being moved to a prison on the Isle of Wight.
In order to spare them over a decade of pain, Robert decided to break it off with his husband in heartbreaking scenes in the prison visitation area.
In a teaser clip for the ITV soap, aired on Monday’s Lorraine, it revealed Aaron’s reaction when he heard the news,
He was calling Robert’s initial prison to arrange a visit, and was seen on the phone sitting alongside Liv.
Yet his jaw dropped when the person on the other end of the phone let slip news of the transfer.
Completely baffled, Aaron said: “That can’t be right. I saw him yesterday.”
In October, Robert was sentenced to life in prison for the killing of Lee Posner.
Lee had raped Robert’s sister Victoria before threatening to do it again causing Robert to hit him over the head with a shovel.
After weeks in hospital in a medically induced coma, Lee died from a bleed on the brain caused by Robert’s attack.
He handed himself in and plead guilty to murder to save Victoria from having to relive her rape trauma in court.
