Aaron’s big day should’ve been perfect. Standing at the altar, ready to say “I do” to John, he was blindsided by Robert’s unexpected reappearance. Fresh out of prison after a successful appeal, Robert didn’t come with threats or schemes—just a raw, devastating confession: he never stopped loving Aaron. The revelation hit Aaron like a freight train, leaving him torn between his past with Robert and his future with John. In a moment of panic, Aaron fled the ceremony, leaving John heartbroken and the guests stunned. Robert waited by the bridge, clinging to a flicker of hope for a second chance, but time and the law were against him.
In tonight’s ITVX episode, Aaron made his choice: he returned to John, and the wedding went ahead in the Woolpack. The celebration was bittersweet, though, as Robert, drunk and defeated, slumped at the bus station. His brief return ended abruptly when PC Swirling arrived with a bombshell—Robert had breached his bail conditions and was hauled back to prison. Inside the pub, mixed emotions swirled. John and Aaron were officially married, but the weight of Aaron’s decision hung heavy. Mackenzie Boyd, who missed his best man duties after being locked in Lewis Barton’s loft, made up for it by decking out John’s van for a heartfelt honeymoon send-off. As the newlyweds left the village, John’s words, “We’ve done it,” hinted at deeper layers yet to be revealed.
Just when the village thought it could catch its breath, a chilling report shook everyone to the core. Kyle rode to the Woolpack with news: divers had pulled a body from the lake. At first, everyone assumed it was Ruby’s father, Anthony, since John had confessed months ago to hiding his body there. But the truth was far more shocking—it was Nate Robinson. The Dingle family is left reeling, as no one even knew Nate was missing. What happened at that lake? Who’s responsible for his death? These questions hang over the village like a dark cloud, promising more drama to come.
Emmerdale has outdone itself with this week’s twists, blending raw emotion with jaw-dropping revelations. Aaron’s choice to stay with John over Robert has fans divided—did he make the right call? And what’s the story behind Nate’s death? With the Dingle family facing yet another tragedy, the village is far from finding peace. Tune in to see how these events unravel, because in Emmerdale, the next shock is always just around the corner.
