Emmerdale’s Robert and Aaron have once again left fans gobsmacked with a recent scene that was nothing short of breathtaking. Behind-the-scenes secrets from the recent cliffhanger stunt have been spilled by Emmerdale director Matt Hilton. The dramatic sequence saw John Sugden dragging Aaron Dingle into a gorge, setting up Robert Sugden to take the fall.

In the aftermath, viewers watched as Robert dashed down to aid his former flame Aaron, cradling him and crying out for assistance.

The heart-wrenching moment featured Robert pleading with an injured Aaron to hang on while he called for an ambulance. As Robert wept over an unconscious Aaron, viewers were moved to tears by the performance.

But in a surprising twist, director Matt revealed that much of this powerful scene was actually unplanned. With the team running behind schedule, Matt gave actor Ryan Hawley, who plays Robert, some basic direction for the scene, but most of it was improvised, reports the Mirror.

Matt divulged: “We were about half a day behind schedule when we got to this scene and had to create an amended version of the scene in the situ. I basically asked Ryan to run in, pick Aaron up, do what comes natural and just break our hearts. And did he.”

Fans were astounded by this revelation, their admiration for the scene growing even more upon learning that it was largely impromptu. The raw emotion and dialogue, all spur-of-the-moment and largely down to actor Ryan’s instincts, led to an outpouring of praise and disbelief from viewers.

One fan took to social media, exclaiming: “HE IMPROVISED THIS WHOLE SCENE OMG THE ACTOR YOU ARE RYAN HAWLEY.”

Another viewer expressed their surprise with a simple: “Oh wow,” while a third chimed in with: “HE WHAT.”

A fourth fan couldn’t contain their disbelief, stating: “I CAN’T BELIEVE RYAN IMPROVISED THIS WHOLE SCENE.”

Another admirer noted: “Ryan improvised two I love you’s, CRYING. We are so lucky to have him as half of our #robron.”

Yet another fan shared their thoughts online: “What do you mean the director told Ryan to do what comes naturally and it’s a distraught Robert screaming into the abyss and repeatedly telling a lifeless Aaron he loves him as he holds his whole world in his arms!”

This comes as Robert continues to languish in prison, falsely accused by John of attempting to murder Aaron.

Aaron remains comatose following his fall, and he is the only one who can vindicate his partner Robert.

Upcoming scenes this week are expected to see John’s deceit finally unveiled, as Aaron regains consciousness and delivers a shocking revelation.
