Danny Miller feels heart-broken about Ryan Hawley’s ‘Emmerdale’ departure.
The 28-year-old actor made a quip about his on-screen husband Robert Sugden-Dingle’s (Ryan) departure from the Dales, but soon backtracked when a fan insisted it is "too soon for jokes".
In response to the supporter of Robron – the nickname given to Robert and Aaron Sugden-Dingle (Danny) – he wrote: "I’m right there with you, trust me. It’s merely a defence mechanism to hide my true feelings.. [heart-broken emoji]. (sic)"
Danny had previously quote retweeted a message about Robert’s time in the village coming to an end, after it was hinted Ryan’s alter-ego may be killed off.
He wrote: "FFS.
If anyone knows where to get the best rates on a loan then slide all the way into my DM’s ASAP (sic)"
It comes after ‘Emmerdale’ producer Laura Shaw confirmed Ryan’s exit and admitted he will try to wreak revenge on Victoria Sugden’s (Isabel Hodgins) rapist Lee Posner (Kris Mochrie) "even if it kills him".
She said: "Ryan Hawley is leaving the show – it’s been a fantastic five years with him and we will miss him dearly.
"There is some time left with him on screen yet but in time, it does mean that our beloved Robron are going to be parted.
"Robert is intent on getting his revenge at any cost, even if it kills him."
Danny’s comments come after Kelvin Fletcher – who portrayed Robert’s brother Andy Sugden from 1996 to 2016 – admitted he was "gutted" to hear Ryan is leaving the soap.
He tweeted: "So what do I do with my Robron mug now?! Gutted [heart-broken emoji] (sic)"
