The trauma is not yet over, however, as new pictures showing Rob in the dock facing a murder charge tease the next chapter of the story which ultimately leads to Mr Sugden's permanent exit from the cast, following Hawley's decision to quit after five years in the role.

Robert did a runner when rapist Lee died from the injuries incurred from the beating he gave him for assaulting his sister Victoria, but has now decided to face up to his crime.

On Friday 18th October Rob rang Aaron from prison and told him to get on with his life, but Mr Dingle was then seen arranging a prison break to get his other half out of the clink.

Whatever happens, the future for both of the boys is sure to feature a whole lot more crying…
