Emmerdale fans have predicted a major DNA twist for Robert Sugden as they reckon he has a secret child in the famous village. Robert (Ryan Hawley) made his epic comeback to the soap last

week after six years. As fans will recall, he was sent to prison in 2019 for the murder of Lee Posner (Kris Mochrie), who raped his sister Victoria (Isabel Hodgins). It turned out though,

that despite being sentenced to fourteen years without parole, Robert had been released early. And after finding out his former flame Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) was about to marry secret

killer John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth), Robert returned in a bid to stop the nuptials. Knocked for six, Aaron didn’t complete his vows at first and later confronted Robert by the bridge. In

typical soap fashion, Robert admitted to Aaron that he still loved him. The pair even kissed on the bridge and Robert insisted Aaron call off the wedding and get back with him. However, it

was later revealed that Aaron had chosen to stick with John and marry him. What’s more, Robert was then arrested for breaking the terms of his licence and was dragged back to prison. But

now, amid his return and all the drama going down, fans can’t help but think Robert could have a secret child - and they are in the village. Robert is already a dad to Sebastian White, whom

he shared with Rebecca White (Emily Head). After Rebecca died recently though, Sebastian was sent to live with her aunt in Bristol. But according to fans, Robert has another secret child who

is a familiar face. On an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, one person suggested newcomer Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches) could be his estranged son. Lewis made his debut last month as the secret

brother of Ross Barton (Mike Parr). But according to a new fan theory, he could be lying about his identity and is really related to Robert. “Not sure if I trust that Lewis and the timing

with Robert’s return is suspicious. Could they be related?” said one person. Someone else wrote: “It wouldn’t be totally far-fetched if Lewis was his son or something.” A third agreed: “You

might be into something there!” EMMERDALE AIRS WEEKNIGHTS ON ITV1 AND ITVX AT 7.30PM
