Emmerdale fans were left in awe after Ryan Hawley, known for his role as Robert Sugden, revealed a shocking new look
on social media, five years after his departure from the popular ITV soap. The 38-year-old actor, who portrayed Rober
t until 2019, exited the show after his character was imprisoned for Lee Posner’s death, which followed Lee’s assault on
Robert’s sister, Victoria.
While speculation continues about Robert Sugden’s potential return, especially with the possibility that he wasn’t solely responsible for Lee’s demise, Ryan has been busy with new projects. He has taken on the role of Sid Crabtree in All Creatures Great and Small, a role he’s set to reprise. Ryan also appeared in Silent Witness and Casualty, further solidifying his acting career beyond the soap.
Fans flooded Ryan’s social media with praise, admiring his transformation and eagerly awaiting his return to screens. Despite the excitement surrounding his current roles, many Emmerdale enthusiasts are still hopeful for Robert Sugden’s comeback, with some already dreaming of a reunion with Aaron Dingle.
