Emmerdale’s Danny Miller: I’d tell Robron to split
The actor could break fans’ hearts by his admission that he thinks the couple should divorce.
Emmerdale star Danny Miller may play one half of the soap’s favourite couple, but said that if it was up to him, he would break them up.
Fans of the Dales-set drama are head over heels for Aaron Dingle and Robert Sugden’s pairing, dubbing them Robron, but Miller admitted that if he was friends with his character, Aaron, he would advise him to get out of the relationship.
The couple have had a troubled time that has included Aaron battling self-harm and drug issues, going to prison, and Robert (Ryan Hawley) fathering a child with his ex Rebecca White (Emily Head).
The actor said: “As much as Robert and Aaron are good for each other, they’re also really bad for each other in some senses.
“If it wasn’t Rebecca, if it was a one-night stand, it’d be so much easier – whether it was a lad or a girl, it’s not the sexuality that matters, it’s the fact that it’s Rebecca and it’s her he chose to confide in and have sex with and there’s always going to be that reminder.
Miller even hinted that a break-up could be about to play out on screen.
He said: “There’s so much to talk about and overcome.
“It’s a difficult, difficult week for them.”
Forthcoming episodes see Robert taking Rebecca to antenatal appointments, but Miller said that his character would not be playing the part of second dad to the child.
“But no, I don’t think for Rebecca and Robert’s baby.
“I think it would have been nice if we had adopted or gone for surrogacy, but I can never see Aaron taking a part in that kid’s life, unfortunately.
