star Ryan Hawley quit Emmerdale years ago - and for years fans had been desperate for him to return. There had been hopes for years he would come back and then rumours surfaced of a brief

stint. However, The Mirror have revealed Robert star Ryan is back on the soap permanently after finally confirming he would be back on the show. Ryan moved to Brazil with his wife Daisy

Prestes de Oliveira and their two children and made a permanent return to the UK and to the Yorkshire Dales after co-star Danny Miller asked him to come back. "The secret is out today!

My character is returning permanently and not just for Aaron and John’s wedding. I am back for good, and I am so excited to be playing Robert again," he told The Mirror exclusively of

his return. "I have had a few calls over the past six years to see how I would feel about reprising the role, but it never felt quite right. Recently, while I was living in Brazil with

my family, where we had been for the past year, Danny texted to see how I would feel. We’ve always kept in touch, and after a lot of thought, I told him, 'Yeah, I am up for

it.'" Article continues below Ryan revealed that soon after he got a call from producers and the rest was history. "I then got a call swiftly from the producers, and it went

from there. The timing felt right for us to not only move back to Britain, but also for me to come back to Emmerdale. Enough time has passed, and with this big wedding storyline, it is the

right time for Robert to cause chaos and huge drama!" he said, as he shared his excitement at being back. Robert made a shock arrival at the wedding between Aaron and John. Everyone was

hush, hush. I have also got driven in by one of our very trusted esteemed transport seniors (to make sure it stayed a secret), and so much hard work has been put into it logistically,"
