Viewers’ hearts were thumping almost as loudly as Robert and Aaron’s during last night’s Valentine’s episode of Emmerdale.
The former lovers shared a moment – that could have been a kiss if Aaron’s new boyfriend Alex hadn’t interrupted them. Grrr!
But now it seems a very unlikely matchmaker could step in to bring the star-crossed lovers back together.
Paddy.
Robert showed up at Aaron’s when his ex was trying to cook a special meal for his new fella – and making a right old mess of it.
Showing uncharacteristic kindness, the new dad swooped in and helped Aaron rescue dinner.
And then the pair sat down together for a chat as Robert opened up about how hard it was coping with baby Seb, and the heartbreak of Rebecca being in hospital.
As the the cute couple started into each other’s eyes, they moved closer together, and – the doorbell rang. AARGH. It was Alex – Aaron’s new bloke.
Robert sneaked off as Aaron let Alex in. But when Chas and Paddy came to call just a few minutes later, Paddy saw Robert sneaking away through the trees.

And he deliberately distracted Chas with a huge kiss to let Robert get away without being spotted. Hmm, interesting.
In tonight’s episode, Paddy quizzes Aaron about what he saw. Aaron opens up to Paddy, telling him how confused he is about his feelings for Robert and Dr Alex.
Paddy has never been Robert’s biggest fan. After all, the bloke did try to kill him! Not to mention how much he’s hurt Aaron in the past.
So you’d expect him to tell Aaron to run as fast as he can away from Mr Sugden.
But he doesn’t.

In fact, Paddy tells Aaron he needs to follow his heart.
Has he just set the scene for the long-awaited Robron reunion?
