Emmerdale's Danny Miller has teased a potential Aaron Dingle and Robert Sugden, affectionally nicknamed Robron by fans, reunion.
Danny, 31, is set to make a comeback to the village for the ITV soap's 50th anniversary after his character left in emotional scenes last year following the murder of his on-screen boyfriend Ben Tucker by evil serial killer Meena Jutla.
Talking about his return, Danny was asked whether he would have liked on-screen ex-husband Robert (Ryan Hawley) to have been part of the comeback.
Viewers will recall Robert is in prison after killing his sister Victoria's (Isabel Hodgins) rapist in 2019.
To which Danny told OK! and other press: "Yeah, it would have been nice. I sort of had in my mind, when my agent spoke to us, and she'd mentioned that there was going to be a lot of action-packed stuff for this 50th [anniversary], which there is.
"But I imagined it being some sort of crazy action, just to really sort of step outside. Maybe Aaron could have turned up and had kidnapped Robert out of prison.
"It was just stupid talk. I was actually talking to Ryan [Hawley] about it. No, it would have been really nice to have him back, but I think it's near impossible, isn't it?"
Teasing a potential theory, Danny added: "Well, other soap characters have done that before haven’t they, suddenly the actor comes back six years later, on an eight year stretch, so there’s always ways and means in soap!"
Talking about how popular Robron were on the ITV soap and the impact the couple had on viewers, Danny added: "I think we were talking about it randomly on a podcast not so long ago, and we were talking about [the impact of] on-screen couples.
"I think 'icons' isn't the right word, but I can't think of anything else. Maybe role models as the characters is what I’m talking about.
"Robert and Aaron kind of had a relationship that was represented by so many people out there, and it really helped change some people; people still tell me that now.

"It was kind of always going to be a question I think I was asked: 'How’s Robert?' They were a great couple and it was nice to be a part of, [and] share it with Ryan."
