Yeah he pretty much stayed silent in that pub scene today. Not really wanting to join in but felt he had to quietly back his husband. I think Aaron secretly enjoyed flirtatious cocky Robert at the bar, giving him the raised eyebrow look.

The resistance is strong with Aaron. I think most would find it impossible to say no to that man. He really does get better with age.

Who could say no to a hug from Ryan. That ED behind-the-scenes with Ryan and Danny is lovely but could really do with being way longer. Love watching Dryan together with their arms round each othe, making each other laugh. Due to their popularity, i hope we get more in the future.

Yeah i saw that. Basically the Sun are bitter that the Mirror got the exclusive interview after the Sun leaked his return, so are purposely being the lowlifes they always were. It was a surprise rtn with no promo so he would have zero effects on ratings anyway.

No expert but assume thats pretty decent numbers for an ED vid. We don't often get to see Ryan being Ryan so its still kind of a thrill!

I hope its teasing but do worry Aaron will be a twat and keep it in the bin out of loyalty to insecure John. Missed opportunity.

Yeah im hoping Aaron has the balls to visit his (ex) husband next week. Be a sham3 if all this visiting order story led to no Robert on screen.

Or the jazz hands! Only a real man can carry off the pink mug look.

A gay icon at that!!

With Ryan saying Robert has a lot of obstacles to overcome before he brings down John, makes me think this SL is going to go on until Oct/Nov time until John gets caught.

Yeah i did wonder if they will use that SL later. Someone from prison comes looking for him (an ex of sorts) just as he's about to get to together with Aaron.

Bryan was a great comeback. It is good to see Ryan so clearly happy to be back and Danny being genuine for a moment saying i hope you stick around, letting Ryan know how much he has missed him.

Well definitely next year ED will win the awards. Hope Ryan wins next year for a change. Obvs biased but he just makes each scene he is in just electric.

The man just gets better looking with age (though he's barely aged)

Dreams do come true. The chemistry is still there stronger than ever. Tonight ep shows why ED needed Ryan back. He's just amazing on screen as Robert.

Im too scared to get my hopes up. Will pour over every word he says tmrw and just pray he doesn't say "no, i wont be returning again, i want to move on from Robert" .

Praying not a dream. Otherwise his 1_scene is over in 10 seconds and that's it.

I like the sound of him still being a bit cocky and humorous. Maybe they are ignoring the nightmare of being in prison in his personality. Or maybe he will just act as not having dealt with it yet. Save for the next return

You wouldn't think he'd bother for a brief stint. Im grateful he is but just wonder if maybe it means he's back in the ED fold. What he says in the interview tmrw could be very telling. He end our dreams or leave us with hope.

Is that just someone guessing his first line or something that's leaked!?

Im guessing Danny lets him know when he pesters him to return. ED wanting him back is probably a hint to him too.

I think Robert is one nightmare John wouldn't have thought about. Why would he when as far as he is aware he is still in prison. Think Robert will be John's real life nightmare at the wedding

With Ryan avoiding social media, i often wonder if he realises how much he is still loved

Im hoping not part of a nightmare. Today's nightmare lasted about 30 secs so would be a joke if that's all Robs return was. Assume to see who this half bro is who is marrying his soul mate.

I think there are going to be alot of hearts beating fast next week when Robert turns up.

Well you can assume nosey Vic has to?d Robert about the wedding, otherwise im not quite sure how he'd know unless they make out its pure coincidence

Yeah i think he will too. Has to be a reason Robert doesn't stay a d Aaron being committed to John could be tbe reason. We can only pray Ryan is up for returning to help Aaron pick up the pieces later in the year

Im guessing next Thursday we may see Robert again as he breaks in to the wedding just before the ad break at 8pm, just before Aaron says "i do"

It must be annoying to be that good looking. Gorgeous!

Cute as! Think we all have to hope that Ryan's brief stint reminded him how much he enjoyed working on ED and wa ts to return permanently. I dont know if im hopeful. He may want to push for more diverse roles now back in UK. Im guessing we wont get any Ryan interview for his brief return either
