Emmerdale fans have been left reeling by a shocking new trailer for the upcoming Corriedale crossover, which suggests a horrific fate may have befallen fan favourite Aaron Dingle.
A Desperate Scream in the Darkness
The dramatic preview for the ITV soap event concludes with the sound of a terrified Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) screaming out for Aaron (Danny Miller) in the pitch black. This chilling moment has sparked immediate panic among viewers, leading to the terrifying question: has Aaron been killed?
The couple, who finally found peace after a tumultuous 2025, now face a dual threat from their respective unhinged ex-partners. The trailer confirms the return of the man-bunned menace Kev Townsend (Christopher Coghill), Robert's obsessive prison ex-husband, who is seen watching the pair from afar.
Two Evil Exes Return for Revenge
Kev, a volatile armed robber, previously faked a terminal illness to win Robert back and even attacked Aaron with a sword before fleeing the village. His return is strongly linked to a series of sinister events, including Aaron's car windscreen being smashed and trees set alight outside their flat.
However, Kev is not the only villain making a comeback. Emmerdale has also confirmed the return of the murderous medic John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth), Aaron's psychotic ex-husband who threw him off a bridge. Actor Oliver Farnworth teased the chaotic dynamic, stating: 'With the introduction of Kev, it's gone from a love triangle to a love square!... It's a messy situation.'
While Kev is chaotic and unpredictable, John possesses a warped saviour complex, often putting people in grave danger just to 'rescue' them. This makes him equally capable of orchestrating a crisis for Aaron.
Will Robert and Aaron Survive the Onslaught?
The central mystery of the trailer is whether the scream indicates Aaron has fallen victim to Kev's rage, one of John's twisted schemes, or another danger entirely. The simultaneous return of both obsessed exes creates unprecedented jeopardy for the beloved soap couple.
This dramatic storyline is set to unfold as part of the epic Corriedale crossover event, promising high stakes and emotional turmoil. Fans are now left to speculate whether Robert and Aaron's hard-won happiness can survive this double-barrelled threat from their pasts.
