Robron fans have a bone to pick with Emmerdale – their relationship isn’t “realistic” enough, they say.
In last night’s episode (Wednesday 4 April), Aaron Dingle lightly slapped Robert Sugden’s leg as he said goodbye after a swift drink at The Woolpack.
Viewers were thrilled to see this small sign of affection, but went on to express their annoyance at the usual lack of contact between the pair.
It seems there’s not enough loving going on for the Robron fandom…

One fan blasted: “Robron have had 2 snogs in 4 years but a lot of the other couples have passionate kisses a lot, I do get that it would be awkward maybe for Danny and Ryan but we never get any kisses anymore they haven’t kissed in a month .. not arguing just stating fact!”
A second agreed, tweeting: “OMG!!!! Robert and Aaron have touched for the first time since the reunion!! BREAKING NEWS!! What happened to the ‘electrifying reunion’ we were promised! They are supposed to be ‘loved up’ So annoying after putting up with 12 months of rubbish!!”
A third said: “How come, as madly in love as #Robron are, we never see them kiss one another goodbye anymore? Not a peck on the cheek or a quick kiss. I mean they’ve only been back together one month after a year, I’d be all over my partner.”

Another slammed the relationship as “unrealistic”, writing: “In all fairness tho I get robron isn’t all about the kisses & romantic scenes we all know that… however … They’ve been back together 1 month after being broken apart for over half a year!!! It’s so unrealistic for them to not have been all over each other come on emmerdale.”

Fans of the ITV soap were delighted earlier this year when Aaron and Robert reunited – at last! – and shared a passionate kiss to seal their love…
To be fair, Aaron’s mind was on other things last night as psycho Syd McFarlane – the criminal who was sharing a prison van with Adam Barton in his exit episode – reared his ugly head again.
After stalking him in the village, Syd seized his chance to confront a shocked Aaron and issued a chilling threat.
It turns out that Aaron used to be a drugs courier for the McFarlane family back in the day…
And clutching poor Seb in his arms, Syd demanded a staggering £100k – warning Aaron that if he doesn’t comply then there will be consequences.
And so begins a storyline that will see some of our favourite Dingle characters in grave danger.
So it might be a while before Aaron gets to kiss Robert again, after all!
