Emmerdale viewers have been left baffled after a Reddit post suggested that Robert Sugden and Mackenzie Boyd are set to have an affair. The theory, which appeared to come from nowhere, has sparked confusion among fans who say there has been no hint of such a storyline on the show.
The original post asked: 'When do Robert and Mack have their affair? Have been hearing about it for ages that it's happening. Guess they're waiting for things to blow up with the baby.' However, fans were quick to point out that no such plot has been teased or confirmed by the soap.
One fan replied: 'What?!' while another added: 'Where have you heard this? I'm intrigued lol.' A third joked: 'I didn't think this was on the table but am only here for it if it's a throuple with Aaron.'
Some viewers speculated that the poster may have confused fan fiction with actual spoilers. One wrote: 'Confusing fanfiction for the show?' Another agreed: 'Possibly. There's so much stuff out there now it's hard to separate the facts from the fantasy.'
As far as official sources are concerned, there are no plans for an affair between Robert and Mack. Emmerdale continues weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
