Emmerdale spoilers: Robert Sugden plots his next step against rapist Lee Posner by stalking him at his house
IT’S safe to say that Robert Sugden is hell bent on getting revenge on rapist Lee Posner in Emmerdale.
He’s already tried one revenge plot which back-fired when his sister Victoria – who was brutally raped by Lee earlier this year – was questioned by police for harassment.
But it looks like Robert has got something much darker then just some incriminating posters in mind this time and tonight viewers will see him stalk Lee out to his home.
As he watches on, it’s clear Robert has got something sinister cooking up in his mind to make Lee pay.
So what could it be?
Emmerdale fans have been speculating that Robert will murder his sister’s rapist in a storyline that sees him leave the village for good.
And now Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw has added fuel to the fire by revealing: “Robert is intent on getting his revenge at any cost, even if it kills him.
“Victoria’s evil rapist Lee is still pursuing her, so Victoria decides that the only way that she’s ever going to live happily and peacefully with the baby, is if she leaves the village forever.
“As her brother finds this out, he’s obviously devastated. He doesn’t want his sister to leave at all and as Lee piles the pressure on both of them, Robert is pushed to the very edge.”
Ryan’s on-screen partnership with co-star Danny Miller, who plays his screen husband Aaron Dingle, has seen the couple affectionately dubbed Robron by devoted fans and has won them countless awards.
But last month Robron fans went into mourning when it was revealed that Ryan, 33, was quitting the show. Laura Shaw said: “It’s been a fantastic five years with Ryan and we’re going to miss him dearly.
"We’ve got a bit of time left with him on screen, but it does mean that going forward our beloved Robron are going to be parted.”
One of the most popular screen couples in Emmerdale’s history, Robert and Aaron have had a rocky road to happiness after getting together while Robert was engaged to Chrissie White.

Their relationship has survived murder, kidnap and even Aaron’s stint in prison, during which Robert got his former girlfriend Rebecca White pregnant after a one-night stand.
Laura Shaw said: “We’ve seen in the past what happens with Aaron when he unravels, so I think there are going to be really interesting times ahead as we see him parted from his beloved Robert and watch him unravel. It’s going to be explosive.”
