Emmerdale - Aaron Livesy and Robert Sugden to clash in court.

Having been wrongly accused of trying to kill his former lover, Aaron has to make a plea ahead of his upcoming trial.

Adam Barton and Andy Sugden infuriate Victoria when they both decide to attend in support of Aaron, with Andy more aware than anyone that the authorities have the wrong man.

Robert also puts in an appearance as he is determined to keep a close eye on proceedings, convinced that he'll be able to tell whether Aaron was the shooter when he makes his plea.

When it comes to the crunch, Aaron naturally pleads 'not guilty' but things aren't looking good for him when he is immediately refused bail.

Still unsure of what really happened, Robert has a furious outburst in court by goading Aaron to tell the truth. However, when Aaron fires back by declaring that Robert should have done everyone a favour and stayed dead, has he just made life a whole lot worse for himself?

Ryan Hawley, who plays Robert, revealed: "Robert just wants a definite answer. Aaron is implicated in the case, but it doesn't necessarily mean that he is the shooter. Cain and Andy have both visited Robert in hospital and made him doubt that it was Aaron. Robert thinks that when he sees Aaron in court, he'll know for sure. He goes there to look Aaron in the eye and to see what he pleads. When Aaron pleads 'not guilty', it's quite frustrating for Robert because he thought he was going to get a definitive answer but he doesn't. For all he knows, Aaron could just be protesting that he's innocent."

Hawley continued: "Robert goads Aaron into telling the truth and that doesn't work out well, because Aaron reacts badly and it causes a bit of a fuss in court. Robert leaves the courtroom thinking that it could be someone else, but it's very frustrating because he just wants to know who it was."

But with the tension and suspicion at an all-time high, how does Robert really feel about Aaron at the moment? Could there still be love there?

Fielding those very tricky questions, Hawley said: "Obviously they have a very complicated history, with the things Robert has done to Aaron, and the things that Aaron has done back to Robert as well to some degree. It's very up in the air how they feel about each other. Robert is confused because he thinks Aaron might have shot him, so he doesn't know what to think."
