Full details of Robert Sugden's Emmerdale return as Ryan Hawley reprises role permanently
EMMERDALE dropped a bombshell tonight with the return of Robert Sugden. The scheming murderer - who is played by actor Ryan Hawley in the ITV soap - made an entrance just in time to stop his ex-husband Aaron Dingle marrying Robert's murdering half brother John Sugden. 3 3 Now it can be revealed that Ryan will be back permanently - after his initial short stint ends. A source said: 'It will soon become clear that Robert's freedom isn't all that it seems and he will end up back behind bars for a little while. 'His full-time return will come later in the summer and it's set to be explosive. 'Bosses at the cash-strapped soap have pulled out all the stops to get him back so there's a lot of crossed fingers hoping it works.' Actor Ryan, who quit the show in 2019, had hoped to spread his wings acting-wise while away from the show. And despite landing roles in some major television shows, he had now admitted that it was a struggle at times. It even led him to move to Brazil with his wife Daisy Prestes de Oliveira and their children for a life away from the spotlight. 'I've got to do things like All Creatures Great and Small, Miss Scarlet, Casualty and Silent Witness,' he told the Mirror. 'I wasn't as busy as I would have liked, but that meant I got to be around my kids a lot, so I was very lucky.' And it was a call from co-star Danny Miller that convinced him to make a full-time return. Robert Sugden dumps Aaron Dingle from prison in Ryan Hawley's final Emmerdale scenes He added: 'I have had a few calls over the past six years to see how I would feel about reprising the role, but it never felt quite right. 'Recently, while I was living in Brazil with my family, where we had been for the past year, Danny texted to see how I would feel. 'We've always kept in touch, and after a lot of thought, I told him, 'Yeah, I am up for it. ' I then got a call swiftly from the producers, and it went from there.'
