Emmerdale Star Teases Possible Sugden Family Return After Dramatic Loss News
An Emmerdale star has sparked excitement among fans by hinting at a possible return of a beloved Sugden family member, following recent revelations on the show. Just days ago, viewers speculated about the potential comeback of Robert Sugden, especially in light of the tragic offscreen death of Rebecca White, the mother of Robert’s son, Seb. Although Robert allowed Seb to remain in the care of Rebecca’s aunt, the news left his former friends in the village, including Victoria Sugden, shocked and grieving.
The surprise visit from Ross Barton, who reappeared in the village for the first time in six years, intensified the speculation. Ross brought news of Rebecca’s passing and disclosed that he had recently been in touch with Robert, though Robert seemed unready to reconnect with those in the village.
This renewed interest in the Sugden family has led to fan hopes that more characters from the clan could return, particularly after the recent introduction of Robert’s long-lost brother, John Sugden. In an exclusive interview with The Mirror, Katie Hill, who plays Sarah Sugden, hinted that such a return might not be far-fetched. Hill expressed her own hopes for a family reunion on the show, revealing that she would love for her character’s father, Andy Sugden, played by Kelvin Fletcher, to make a comeback.
Katie shared, “There is only her and Victoria in the village, so when I heard a Sugden was coming in I was like yay! It is really great working with [Oliver Farnworth, who plays John]. It’s exciting to have him in the village and to see where his character goes, and if we will build any more of a relationship.” Fans have long yearned for Andy’s return since his dramatic exit in 2016 when he went on the run after being framed by Chrissie White.
Discussing the idea of Andy’s return, Katie admitted, “That would be so cool. I’ve never worked with Kelvin who played Andy, my dad, cos he wasn’t on the show when I joined. That would be really weird him coming back and pretending to be my dad cos I’ve never met the man! But I would love to see Andy come back, I think that would be great.”
The speculation surrounding the possible return of both Robert and Andy has Emmerdale fans buzzing, with many eagerly awaiting more developments in the Sugden family saga. If the rumors prove true, the family reunion would certainly shake things up in the village and bring new emotional storylines to the forefront.
