Emmerdale's Aaron and Victoria hear devastating news over Robert's future

Emmerdale's Aaron Dingle and Victoria Barton will receive some bad news over Robert Sugden.

In episodes airing next week, Liv Flaherty (Isobel Steele) and Victoria Barton (Isabel Hodgins) are worried about Aaron (Danny Miller), following the reveal of Robert Sugden's lengthy prison sentence.

Aaron and Wendy Posner (Susan Cookson) are later seen arguing at The Mill, and when Victoria intervenes, Wendy starts crying and ends up apologising as she departs. Afterwards, Victoria speaks with Aaron, trying to get through to him.

Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) later arrives with a message from Robert.

Victoria is devastated when she learns that Robert has blocked any opportunity for her or Aaron to see him at prison, having put a moratorium on receiving any visitors. And Aaron also soon learns of the latest development...

Last week, viewers saw Robert being handed a life sentence, after his attack on Lee resulted in the rapist passing away in hospital.

Emmerdale currently airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
