Emmerdale Robert Sugden star unrecognisable as he lands new role

Former Emmerdale star Ryan Hawley looks unrecognisable from his Robert Sugden days in his latest role.

The actor appeared as the fourth incarnation of Robert in the ITV soap between 2014 and 2019, taking over from previous actor Karl Davies.

His love story with fellow villager Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) won the couple an army of fans and they became one of soap’s most loved couples of all time.

However, Robron, as they were known to fans, were torn apart in 2019 when he was sentenced to 14 years in prison for the manslaughter of his sister Victoria Sugden’s (Isabel Hodgins) rapist Lee Posner (Kris Mochrie).

Nearly six years on from his final Emmerdale scenes, Ryan is now returning to our screens in U&alibi’s period drama Miss Scarlet.

He is set to appear in the guest role of James Bailey in the latest episode, which airs on Wednesday.

Previewing his appearance, Ryan posted a picture of himself in character on Instagram, looking worlds away from how Emmerdale fans may remember him.

He wrote: ‘The Thames Reaper is on the loose in this week’s episode of Miss Scarlet.

‘Watch me, James Bailey help the eponymous hero crack the case! This Wednesday U&alibi 9pm UK.’

Since leaving Emmerdale, Ryan has made guest appearances in a number of other hit shows.

Ryan has also had a recurring role in Channel 5’s reincarnation of All Creatures Great & Small, playing Sid Crabtree.
