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. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

Emmerdale teases 'edge-of-your-seat scenes' as John takes action against Robert
Emmerdale spoilers have teased life-or-death scenes for Robert Sugden and tension with John Sugden next week on the ITV soap, and the Mirror's soap insider has promised drama There's "tense" Emmerdale scenes ahead, with Robert Sugden seemingly facing a life-or-death situation next week. Ryan Hawley's character faces danger in worrying scenes, as killer John Sugden strikes again according to some rather cryptic spoilers. While it's being kept a mystery on what actually happens, what we do know is that John wants to get rid of his brother after seeing him as a threat. After finding out about his husband Aaron Dingle kissing his ex Robert, and with Robert desperate to expose him and win Aaron back, John wastes no time in seeking an opportunity to get rid of his sibling for good. Events next week reach a scary point where a lifeless Robert could well become John's next victim. The Mirror's soap insider has teased "tense" and "edge-of-your-seat" moments set to air based on the spoiler release, as fans will no doubt be screaming at their TVs for John to leave Robert alone. Spoilers revealed that after Robert is drugged by his date, John drives off with Robert in the back of his van. It's not been made clear if John has orchestrated the drugging or not, but he's soon very much involved. Robert soon finds himself at the mercy of killer John it would seem, or at least that's what the soap has teased, as he's left lifeless - and images see John looming with a syringe in his hand. But will Robert really go as far as to kill his sibling? Our soap insider shared: "There's tense scenes planned for sure, and fans will no doubt be on the edge of their seats as John makes his feelings clear. There's a perilous moment for Robert and he has no idea of the danger he's in." It all kicks off when Robert spirals, having been rejected by Aaron and his sister Victoria Sugden. As he struggles, he hits the bottle and turns to hook-ups in a bid to make Aaron jealous. It seems he lashes out at his sister too in upcoming scenes as she's sporting a black eye and he feels guilty. He moves out thinking it's for the best leaving his sibling concerned, while Robert's hopes for a job also look set to fall flat despite Caleb Miligan offering him an opportunity. John finds out and pressures him into ending the trial, and when Caleb does so it's Jai Sharma who lets slip to Robert that John was to blame. Robert confronts his half-brother, who is determined to do whatever it takes to get him out of the village. After he tries to get Victoria to report Robert for hitting her, Robert fears the worst and is devastated. This doesn't go as John plans though, and soon we see a concerning twist unfold with Robert unconscious in the back of his van. "It looks as though John is preparing to take deadly action, hovering over a lifeless Robert with a syringe in-hand," our soap insider went on. "Fans know only too well what happened the last two times John was seen wielding an syringe, with poor Nate Robinson and Aidan Moore learning the hard way." While spoilers have hinted Robert wakes up, it's yet to be revealed if there's more scenes with John or if he remains in danger. Our insider teased: "John will take whatever measure necessary to see Robert out of his life, and Aaron's. "He's rattled, he's scared and he knows the only thing that could lead to him losing Aaron for good is Robert. As far as John's concerned, his brother is in the way. Family or not, he wants him gone." But is Robert in danger, and would John really go so far? Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays. * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Threads.

Zen Chong looks back on 'stuck' showbiz career, says without luck, 'no matter how hard you try, you also cannot get it', Entertainment News
Many would regard ruthless businessman Robert Zhang from The Little Nyonya (2008) as an iconic Singapore drama villain. But despite his popularity, the same cannot be said of Singapore-based Malaysian actor Zen Chong who brought him to life. The 46-year-old, who is nominated for Star Awards 2025 Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes, told AsiaOne in an interview recently that while he enjoys acting very much, sometimes it's takes more than just passion and talent to make it a career. "It's all about luck and I think it really plays a very important role. It's like, if fate doesn't align at the moment and it (an acting opportunity) doesn't belong to you, no matter how hard you try, you also cannot get it," he said. Zen made his Singapore showbiz debut in 2001 after he finished third place in the Malaysian edition of Star Search that year. Besides playing Robert in The Little Nyonya, he's also known for playing convenient store staff Hong Daji in local Mandarin sitcom Lobang King (2003), which stars Chew Chor Meng and the late Huang Wenyong. Zen told us that luck was what helped him land the role of Robert, a character so iconic that people on the streets — even in China — still call him by that name. However, despite the success of the drama and his role, he found that his acting career became stagnant. "My career got stuck after The Little Nyonya. It wasn't booming despite what others thought. So, I decided to take a part-time job as a property agent. I felt insecure [about my showbiz career], so I needed to do something else," Zen shared. He elaborated: "There wasn't an increase in my salary and acting opportunities. I thought to myself that it was time to assess my acting career." Zen became a part-time property agent in 2012, juggling his acting career until his contract with Mediacorp ended in 2014. Despite being a public figure, Zen said he went "all in" in his new career: "I didn't care that I was an artiste and needed to protect my image. When working in the estate market, I really ' chiong ' (go for it)." He was involved in many aspects of the job including showroom sales, distributing flyers in malls and meeting potential buyers, who frequently recognised him. "I was still young then, so I had to try everything," he added. Zen now owns his own company Crescere Asset Management, where he is involved in financial management, including assets and funds. When asked if he had felt it was a pity that his acting career didn't flourish, he said: "Whether it's a pity or not, it's not my call. I like to act, but luck plays a very important part. My social skills weren't so good in the past." Zen still acts on a project basis nowadays, including as swimming coach Yan Qingheng in sports-romance drama Hope Afloat (2024) and upcoming dystopian-crime series The Leftovers (2026). He shared: "Acting is a platform for me to destress, because I am very stressed in my other career. When I am acting, I can play another person and unload my emotions through the character." Voting for Star Awards Top 10 Most Popular Male and Female Artistes is now available till July 6, 7.30pm on the Mediacorp website. Voters can make up to 10 votes per account, per award category, per day. On July 6 from 12am to 7.30pm, voters can make unlimited votes for each category.
