Emmerdale: Viewers shocked as Robert Sugden finally wakes up from coma
VIEWERS were sent reeling tonight after Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) finally awoke from his coma of his own accord on Emmerdale.
Robert Sugden wakes up on Emmerdale
It was a nail-biting episode that saw Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) nearly cut the tubes keeping Robert alive and tried to frame the devious businessman's estranged wife Chrissie (Louise Marwood) for the murder.
Luckily he was stopped just in the nick of time by his father Zak (Steve Halliwell) as he was about to cut off Robert's oxygen supply with what appeared to be a pair of nail scissors - which would explain Cain's impromptu break-in yesterday.
The audience saw how Cain dialled Chrissie to get her to the hospital on false pretences, so it would look like she had done the deed. However, judging by her behaviour towards him she could even have killed Robert herself.
"Don't you wake up, you hear me," she hissed in his ear before storming out of the room.

Nikki Hayes summed up what many Emmerdale fans were thinking: "Ahh he opened his eyes, Robert is alive! Can't wait for tomorrow nights episodes of @emmerdale finally find out the truth! #roleontomorrow."
"Roberts awake bring on tomorrow great scenes with Cain and zac @emmerdale," said Mick Minas.
Tomorrow night there will be not one, but two doses of the soap for viewers to sink their teeth into. The two hour-long specials: the first will build on tonight's episode while the second part will rewind the clock and reveal who shot Robert.
The rewind episode marks Emmerdale's 43rd birthday and dark secrets are set to emerge as the truth comes out.
Emmerdale continues on ITV tomorrow night at 7pm and 8pm
