Huge Robert shock in early Emmerdale ITVX release

The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn't aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.
Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) has returned to the Emmerdale village and as much as he won't accept it, he isn't the same man who left all those years ago.
We saw Robert a few weeks ago, when he interrupted Aaron Dingle's (Danny Miller) wedding to John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth). It became apparent that Robert had been released after appealing, but he was quickly sent back inside after breaking the rules of his bail conditions.
But with his small sentenced served, Robert was allowed back out of prison and wasted no time in heading back to the Dales.
When he got there yesterday, Robert entered Mill Cottage flat due to John assuming he was the pizza delivery guy. Robert announced that he was back to spend time with his family – though it was obvious he had an ulterior motive as well.
In tonight's episode, Robert told Vic that he'd spend the day trying to find a new job. He had passed the early hours of the morning walking through the village because he couldn't sleep, but told his sister it was because he had missed the fresh air.
Robert headed up to the depot to see Caleb Miligan (William Ash) and spun a story about his life that didn't feature him in prison. Unfortunately for Robert, Caleb saw right through his lie due to being told about him by his brother.
However, Caleb could see that Robert wanted a chance and gave him one. It made John angry later in the pub, even more so when Caleb failed to listen to him about Robert being bad news.

That afternoon, while Vic was at the shop, Robert tried to catch up on some sleep. When she returned, Vic set about pouring a drink for the two of them. As she chatted away, she failed to realise Robert was suffering a bad dream about his time in prison. More Trending
Vic tapped Robert's leg to wake him up but just as he opened his eyes, his confused state led him to punching Vic in the face.
Robert tried to help her, but a panicked Vic told him to leave.
Can she live alongside Robert and his trauma following years behind bars?

The Strictly Judge couldn't help but drop a "spoiler" as he revealed: 'Can I say this out loud? We had to talk about Love Island for a bit. We watched a bit of Love Island. Can I say that? Is that a spoiler?' (Image: ITV) Alison claimed, 'You probably did, and you're probably going to get in trouble for this.' Anton jumped in: "I'm probably going to get in trouble. Apologies to Channel 4,' Alison joked. 'Thank you for the exclusive.' Anton continued: 'We had a little bit of that (Love Island) and other stuff.'

ITV Emmerdale fans 'work out' major bombshell plot twist as icon 'set to return'

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Emmerdale enthusiasts are speculating a surrogacy plot twist for Sarah Sugden, and they believe they've figured out who will bear her child. Sarah (played by Katie Hill), the offspring of Andy Sugden (Kelvin Fletcher) and Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb), has certainly experienced her fair share of turmoil during her time in the Dales. The character has spent a significant portion of her life in hospital due to a life-altering diagnosis. Sarah was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder known as Fanconi anaemia when she was just six years old. This diagnosis necessitated a life-saving bone marrow transplant and a heart transplant, leaving her anxious about her lifespan compared to her fellow villagers. In addition to this, Sarah has fought cancer twice and suffered from heart failure in 2018, a side effect of chemotherapy, reports Belfast Live. Recently, Sarah has expressed a strong desire to have a baby and underwent IVF treatment. However, during the process, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. In upcoming episodes, Sarah is scheduled to undergo surgery for her cancer. But things take an unexpected turn when a surgeon informs her grandmother Charity (Emma Atkins) that the operation didn't go as planned. Now, fans are convinced that Sarah will opt for surrogacy, and they think they've deduced who will carry her baby - a returning soap legend. On an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, one individual speculated: "I have a feeling Sarah will be unable to have a baby. Her carrying a baby was already incredibly risky so I think there's going to be a surrogacy person concurred: "I thought that too. " A third fan suggested Sarah's mum Debbie as a potential surrogate for Sarah's child." I did think of Charity as the surrogate but maybe Debbie could do it?" they pondered. Another agreed: "I'd love that, and then she can finally return!" Debbie Dingle is a soap icon, having made her first appearance in 2002. As Cain's (Jeff Hordley) daughter, she has been involved in numerous major storylines until her departure in 2021.

Netflix star killed in horror hit-and-run as police hunt driver

Police are hunting the driver who left Million Dollar Beach House star Sara Burack for dead. A former star of Netflix's Million Dollar Beach House has tragically died after being struck in a hit-and-run in New York. Sara Burack, 40, was hit by a vehicle in the early hours of Thursday morning in Hampton Bays. The driver fled the scene and, as of Thursday night, has yet to be traced. A police investigation remains ongoing. ‌ Sara's body was found just before 3am on Montauk Highway, near the Villa Paul Restaurant. A 911 caller reported seeing a woman lying in the road. Emergency crews rushed to the scene and found her unconscious, with injuries consistent with being hit by a car. She was taken to hospital but died later that day, reports the Mirror. ‌ Sara made her name in the luxury property world as an agent for Nest Seekers International — the high-end firm featured in the Netflix reality show following brokers selling multi-million-dollar beach homes in the Hamptons. Although she left the firm over a year ago, colleagues said she remained close to many in the industry. Geoff Gifkins, Hamptons regional manager for Nest Seekers, said: 'Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. This is a tremendous loss.' Friend and fellow agent Paulette Corsair paid tribute to Sara's kindness and dedication. 'She was an amazing person who really cared for people,' she said. 'A hardworking agent who was loved by many and deeply close to her family.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
