Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) has made quite the return to Emmerdale, but could he be heading back to jail already?
His dramatic re-entrance saw him derail Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) and John Sugden’s (Oliver Farnworth) wedding, kiss Aaron when they thought no one was looking, and then get himself carted off back to prison for breaking his bail conditions with a broken heart after Aaron rejected him.
After asking Aaron to visit him in prison and Aaron refused, Robert surprised everyone by making a second return, showing up back in the village ready to embrace a life of freedom and to spend time with his family.
But his second go at life outside of his cell is immediately when an incident leads to Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) getting a black eye.
He’s left feeling untold guilt and vows to move out of the house having hurt his sister so badly, but Vic is just left worried for her big brother.
Robert then finds himself under threat of a return to prison when he overhears John trying to convince Victoria to report him.
Robert manages to get himself a trial job at the depot to try and turn things around, but his second round of bad luck hits when Caleb (William Ash) ends his trial early – but distraught Robert is interested to learn from Jai (Chris Bisson) that John was behind it.

He spots an opportunity and snaps Robert up by bundling him into the van. He drives off with his drugged cargo while deciding what his next move will be.
He’s later seen with a syringe in hand and it looks like Robert’s time in the village is already at an end. Is John about to strike again?
