Emmerdale spoilers: Aaron Dingle has emotional BREAKDOWN...
With his husband Robert Sugden behind bars, life is proving all too much for Aaron Dingle on Emmerdale and he drives off in a terrible emotional state...
Aaron Dingle (played by Danny Miller) is getting closer to breaking point since his husband Robert Sugden was sentenced to life in prison on Emmerdale (7:00pm and 8.00pm on ITV, see our TV Guide for full listings), for the murder of Lee Posner, the man who raped Robert's younger sister Victoria (Isobel Hodgins).
To make matters worse, Robert has forbidden Aaron to visit him behind bars and has now requested a divorce.
Aaron blames Lee's mum Wendy (Susan Cookson) and brother Luke Posner (Max Parker) for the terrible turn of events. And since they both now live in the village, anguished Aaron has seized his chance to harass them at every turn.
