As Emmerdale fans desperately attempt to work out who is starting fires at Butlers Farm, the ITV soap may have already confirmed the identity of the culprit in a throwaway scene.

Bad luck appears to follow poor Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) around, with the couple having encountered a number of issues since moving into the farm formerly owned by Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb).

When not having to deal with troublemaking landlord Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) – who loves to wind them up – Robron are kept busy trying to keep loved ones out of jail – or free them from behind bars.

Though they succeeded in protecting Victoria Barton (Isabel Hodgins) from Joe’s treachery – and securing Moira’s freedom after Robert unknowingly played a role in her imprisonment – Cain Dingle’s (Jeff Hordley) discovery of Robert’s antics made matters worse last week as Rob faced the terrifying hard-man’s wrath.

But despite the initial wave of animosity, Robert and Cain parked their feud for the sake of the family. With the secret out in the open and family relations on the mend, things were finally starting to look up for Robert and Aaron – that is, until Friday (May 15), when a fire was started up at Butlers.

This is the second blaze, with the first having been lit in one of the barns just weeks ago.

At the time, it was speculated that the person responsible to send a message to a Moira, who – despite her innocence – was implicated in the modern slavery operation run by Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) last year.
