โEmmerdaleโ boss Iain MacLeod has unveiled plans that will make Robron fans very happy, revealing that an episode focusing on the pair will air on Christmas Day.
Despite their February 2017 wedding, Aaron Dingle and Robert Sugden havenโt had the best year - to put it lightly - but it seems they will be spending the festive period together.
Speaking at a press event, Iain told HuffPost UK and other reporters: โThere is a big, big episode that goes up out Christmas Day that is pretty much single strand.
โIt is probably the weirdest episode that weโve ever done โ and thatโs saying something. Itโs really out there and itโs the episode I have been most nervous about since I started.โ
Iain continued: โ[Iโm nervous] because of how crackers it is. Itโs really entertaining and dramatic and it has a surprise cameo in it. Itโs stylistically a bit weird and romantic โ itโs great.
โI always view Robert and Aaron as being on opposite ends of a very long piece of elastic and itโs stretched pretty tight and theyโre as far away from each other as I am comfortable with them getting.โ
When talk turned the coupleโs much-anticipated second wedding, Iain revealed that while it wonโt take place at Christmas, the big day has been pencilled into his diary.
โThe wedding is definitely still on the cards. Be careful about when you book your summer holidays next year... Basically, I am saying itโs in summer.โ
In the nearer future, โEmmerdaleโ fans are in for a treat next week, when the follow-up to last yearโs โNo Returnโ episodes air.
While many details of what will take place in the episodes is under lock and key, some (literally) explosive scenes were teased on Tuesday (26 September).
