Emmerdale<\/a> spoilers follow.<\/p>\n

It hasn\u2019t gone unnoticed that it\u2019s all been a bit quiet for one of Emmerdale\u2019s most popular couples. Since Robert Sugden\u2019s thrilling return last year<\/a>, and the pair\u2019s engagement during Corriedale, fans have been crying out for more. <\/p>\n

Not only has it been a surprisingly low-key year for the pair, mainly supporting other storylines, it\u2019s been very sparse on the romance front for an engaged couple who\u2019ve always been one of soaps most epic love stories! <\/p>\n

In a world where viewers are calling out for fewer murder storylines, and want warmer moments for their favourite couples, here are five easy fixes to get Aaron and Robert back on track, before they get married (and we\u2019ve got to be patient for that too!).<\/p>\n

1. Up the romance\"aaron<\/p>\n

ITV<\/p>\n

Anyone who found themselves transfixed by the love story between Aaron and Robert will know their relationship began as a soap classic \u2013 a toxic and passionate affair<\/a>! From greasy garages to hay-stacked barns, the lads grabbed any excuse to see each other. This uncontrollable attraction was still prevalent the moment Robert stepped foot back into the village. But lately it\u2019s all but disappeared.<\/p>\n

As their feelings grew, so did heartfelt declarations and romantic reunions, Emmerdale told a story of life changing, all-consuming love. And who wouldn\u2019t want more of that?<\/p>\n

The couple themselves became sentimental about their romantic history, with callbacks and references to the places they\u2019d kissed, and sentimental objects like Robert\u2019s engraved watch and their engagement rings were cherished by the couple too. <\/p>\n

Soaps long-form storytelling means unlike any other drama, they can tell a love story over 12 years, it means more because we\u2019ve been with them every step of the way, so naturally fans are invested and currently, short changed!<\/p>\n

Robron without romance is like Emmerdale without The Woolpack so remembering the origins of why they fell in love, and giving them back their romantic core currently missing would work wonders.<\/p>\n

Who wants to watch them grumpily standing round in the kitchen every episode? The fact we\u2019re now months into their engagement and they haven\u2019t even shared a kiss is absurd for a couple with this history.<\/p>\n

2. Treat them as individuals\"aaron<\/p>\n

ITV<\/p>\n

Combining a Sugden and a Dingle into a supercouple was a genius move by bosses, but lately it\u2019s felt as if the key components of Aaron and Robert\u2019s personalities as individuals have been forgotten.<\/p>\n

Fans fell in love with both characters\u2019 complex histories. Aaron\u2019s tragic childhood<\/a>, his big-hearted emotions and memorable coming out story.<\/p>\n

Robert was born on the show and we\u2019ve watched almost every decade of his life, relished in his scheming charms and masked vulnerability, but lately they\u2019ve felt like blank slates, just reacting to whatever drama comes to their farm.<\/p>\n

Over and above the ship, these two are hugely popular characters in their own right, but with no real storyline to speak of this year, it\u2019s almost like their much-loved identities have been lost in the shuffle.<\/p>\n

3. Find new ground\"aaron<\/p>\n

ITV<\/p>\n

No one wants beloved soap couples to become stale or fall back onto boring cheating tropes again, so it\u2019s vital that new avenues are forged for couples who\u2019ve been together for years.<\/p>\n

After almost 6 years apart, it was fertile ground for bosses to wipe the slate clean and try something fresh for Aaron and Robert, while still maintaining the dynamic that fans loved.<\/p>\n

And with Robert\u2019s psycho brother John standing in the way of true love<\/a>, it felt like all our dreams had come at once for an epic slow burn reunion.<\/p>\n

The dynamic of damaged, post-prison Robert needing Aaron was exciting new ground for the couple, but that unfortunately disappeared when Kev arrived<\/a> and Robert’s struggles were brushed aside for more psycho husband antics.<\/p>\n

Who can blame bosses rushing towards a reunion? But without the characters confronting the impact of their heartbreaking separation in 2019, it felt like an easy own goal to squander the talents of Danny Miller and Ryan Hawley, by not giving us the emotional declarations and putting them in this lacklustre honeymoon period instead.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the giant elephant in the room, in the shape of Robert\u2019s young son Seb<\/a>, who Aaron was once lined up to adopt. It\u2019s bizarre not to give him more than just a sporadic mention, when he was such a vital part of their past.<\/p>\n

If the lads are to expand the farm and have the family of their own they\u2019ve always desired then that might help generate fresh stories for the pair too. <\/p>\n

4. Utilise the farm\"aaron<\/p>\n

ITV<\/p>\n

Since the surprising announcement that Aaron and Robert would be heralding a new era<\/a> and an exciting chapter for a same sex couple at the heart of the show, it\u2019s all been a bit quiet on the farm. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been promised a Sugden expansion, but under Joe Tate\u2019s control, Robert\u2019s dreams and characteristic ambition have been restricted and it\u2019s left the farm feeling stagnant. Even the story of Kyle\u2019s arson on the farm<\/a> (their main concern) for several weeks, concluded without Robert or Aaron\u2019s involvement. <\/p>\n

Beyond new paint colours and Robert promising some healthy competition with Moira, we\u2019ve hardly seen the couple get to grips with their new lifestyle or surroundings, which seems a waste when it\u2019s such a big departure from their old way of life. <\/p>\n

5. Make the wedding unique\"robert<\/p>\n

ITV<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a tall order to create something unique for the third wedding of a couple that have done it all, but Emmerdale bosses have plenty of time considering Laura Shaw hinted that the wedding is a long way off!<\/a><\/p>\n

With their first, and non-legal wedding an intimate, meaningful affair, the pair of them snuck off to the garage for a bit of peace from the Dingle mayhem.<\/p>\n

Their second wedding<\/a> was a big, outdoor, family gathering and glimmer of joy happiness in the sea of heartache for Aaron and his family, after Chas and Paddy lost their baby.<\/p>\n

Both weddings were perfect in their own way, but for Wedding 3.0, it\u2019s imperative we get to see a couple we all fell in love with, not this shadow of their former selves.<\/p>\n

All we ask is, it\u2019s something special and romantic and very them. If they\u2019re embracing their new farming life, then a beautiful rural ceremony \u2013 avoiding disasters \u2013 would be idyllic.<\/p>\n

And if Emmerdale can fork out for a cameo from Bear\u2019s Den (if you know, you know), then it might just be their best wedding yet.<\/p>\n

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
