Robron was once the love symbol of Emmerdale: passionate, complicated, but sincere.

But this Christmas, that love is put to the extreme when Robert disappears and Aaron discovers he’s being watched.

A mysterious package is left at his door, containing only a photo of the two of them – crossed out in red ink.

Aaron panics. He searches everywhere for Robert but to no avail.

Every time he opens his phone, a strange message pops up: “You can’t escape the past.” From then on, the nightmares begin. Aaron starts to suspect everyone – from friends and neighbors to himself. He doesn’t know who’s behind this, until he hears that John Sugden – the man who haunted him for a long time – has returned.

While Aaron struggles with fear, Robert falls into John’s hands. He spoke to him as if they were old friends: “Aaron misses you so much. I’ll help you two reunite… but my way.” The atmosphere between them was thick with hatred and distorted emotions. Robert tried to remain calm, waiting for an opportunity to escape, but John was different – ​​he wanted Robron to die together, so that “love would never fade.”

The episode ends with Aaron running through the snow-covered woods, desperately shouting Robert’s name. John stands afar, smiling coldly. Emmerdale fans everywhere erupt: “Will Robron survive this holiday season?”

The answer will likely shape Emmerdale’s entire 2026: a dark year where love and fear intertwine.
