Aaron finally reaches breaking point following Katie Sugden’s shock death at the beginning of last month.
Since then Aaron has struggled to deal with her involvement in Katie’s death, and finally he can’t take anymore.
He’s been purposely exhausting himself by going on runs and when Robert spots him in a state he grows concerned.
Despite their rocky relationship, Robert is clearly worried about his lover and offers him the chance to let it all out.
It must be Robert’s guilty conscience acting up, but Aaron takes him up on the offer and lashes out at him.
While it seems highly unlikely at the moment, Danny Miller, who plays Aaron, recently hinted that his character could grow close to Robert again.
He told Digital Spy: “Strange as it sounds, this awful lie has bonded Aaron and Robert further together.
“As much as Aaron despises what’s happened with Katie, and how it has affected Chas and Belle, he still wants to spend as much time with Robert as possible.
“In the next few weeks we’ll see Aaron and Robert concealing one another and starting to question where they go from here.”
These scenes will air later this month.
