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

There’s terror ahead on Emmerdale this festive season for panicked Aaron Dingle, when his boyfriend Robert Sugden goes missing on Christmas Day. Aaron’s dreams of mistletoe and wine are soon shattered when it becomes clear that someone’s out to get the loved-up pair.<\/p>\n

With Kev Townsend<\/a> and John Sugden<\/a> on the loose, that’s two dangerous ex-husbands eager for revenge. And when Robert disappears before they’ve even carved the turkey, his family spiral into panic\u2026 <\/p>\n

Before Robert vanishes from the village, the pair face a different enemy, one much closer to home. Keen to settle down back into the marital bliss they shared before Robert was banged up, the couple decide they want his son Seb back in their lives.<\/p>\n

But one person who isn’t happy about their plans to bring Seb back to the village is Ross Barton. As the partner of Seb’s late mum Rebecca<\/a>, he raised the little lad as his own until last year when she died.<\/p>\n

Ross giving up Seb to Rebecca’s auntie was a painful decision which broke his heart, so on hearing Aaron and Robert’s plans, the battle lines are drawn\u2026<\/p>\n

When Aaron discovers his windscreen is smashed and trees are set on fire outside the flat, the obvious culprit is Ross. However, Ross has an alibi, and unknown to the pair there’s someone else far more dangerous lurking in the shadows \u2013 and their sinister plans have only just begun\u2026<\/p>\n

“They don’t know who is doing these malicious things,” teases Danny Miller, who plays Aaron. “They assume Ross because of the row over Seb. Robert discovers who it is, but he doesn’t tell Aaron because he thinks he can deal with it, without adding stress to Aaron’s life\u2026”<\/p>\n
