How exhausting the performances must have been. Danny had to sell his LFC tickets the other evening as he couldn’t go to the match, bc they were filming late. So breaks are really necessary, even though we miss Aaron & Robert in the story. Some other characters have big stuff going on as well. I could watch Robron daily and not tire of them. Danny and Ryan are excellent in their parts. There’s lots I’d love to see, but they are human beings who work so hard. We can’t complain if they get a little break.
Something that might help soothe some Robron woes, too… Danny and Ryan themselves had been working tirelessly for weeks on incredibly heavy, challenging, & time-consuming material. I’m sure they were tired. I even heard they requested an entire week off filming after all that (which would explain next week’s lack of them). So yeah, it’s not so much a matter of the story wanting to ignore them for a week but rather that Danny and Ryan themselves, as real people, honestly just needed to take a breath. Ha.
I agree. That’s why despite every bad thing that Robert did, like Victoria & Diane, I understood the “why”. I didn’t condone it. Jack really let Robert down when he prefered Andy to Robert. Robert was the INNOCENT party! Jack was wrong. Andy bullied Robert to impress his mates, even though it his friendship with Robert that got him his new home with Jack & family. I FULLY understand Robert’s feelings against Andy, too.
“You should go and see him. In the mortuary. (…) I’ve robbed you of your last chance to see him alive. You should go see for yourself that he’s gone. Say what needs saying and…I dunno know. It might help close stuff down for you. Draw a line under things.”
It broke my heart when Robert said those words. Not bc of Gordon. But bc of Robert and his troubled past with his dad Jack. Robert sort of got this sad, distant look in his eyes as he said those words to Aaron. Like, Robert was reminded of his own dad and how he too had been robbed of the chance to say goodbye to his father when he had been banished from the village.
Robert telling Aaron to go see Gordon in the mortuary, to say what he needed to get off his chest, it was as if Robert was drawing from his own experience when he went to Jack’s funeral. It was Robert’s way of trying to close down his issues with Jack, to draw a line under it - even if it deep down didn’t fully help bc he never got the chance to make amends with his dad, which in ways are still hunting him today. But he tried at least and to some extend it helped. And it was as if Robert was thinking of that when he tried to advice Aaron on what he should do. That he hoped in some way it would help Aaron to go see his dad one last time and it would bring some form closure to him like it did Robert.
To me it was such a precious moment and I really hope one day Robert feels comfortable enough to open up completely to Aaron and tell him all about his and Jack’s relationship and share that part of his life with his boyfriend too.
Read all 5 chapters & really liked them! Great illustrations!

Texas has proved that🤬🤬🤬
Absolutely beautiful and true!
What do you think of this i made 😄💖?
Couldn’t say it better! Agree 10,000%!!!!
Aaron REALLY is holding onto Robert so tightly. These two don’t need words to tell each other & us how much they love each other. I do like hearing the words, too, but that’ll be later.
