Ryan Hawley reveals all to Soaplife
Soaplife: Is Robert capable of killing Lawrence?
Ryan Hawley: “I don’t think Robert’s an out-and-out murderer. The situation with Katie Sugden was an accident. However, the lengths he’s prepared to go to get what he wants are surprising, so I wouldn’t rule it out…”
S: Is Robert winning when it comes to taking Home Farm from the Whites?
RH: “He has Lawrence in the palm of his hand at the moment, which is exactly what he wants. He knows the Whites and what makes them tick, so he’s in a very strong position. But he keeps coming up against various obstacles and he continually has to improvise and come up with new alternatives. He has to think on his feet.”
S: What is this job Kath offers Robert?
RH: “It’s all part of his master plan…”
S: Is he worried about Lachlan?
RH: “Lachlan’s a bit of a threat, but Robert still sees him as a child, so he isn’t intimidated.”
S: Do you miss working so closely with Danny Miller on all the Robron scenes?
RH: “I do still work with him! We still get to spend time together, we enjoy each other’s company and we have a bit of a laugh. When you’re not always working with the same person, it’s that much better when you do work with them.”
S: Can Robert and Aaron ever be together again or is that all over?
RH: “Personally, I’d like to see some kind of development there. Robert’s in love with him and they’re soul mates, but I really don’t know what’s going to happen to them. We’ll have to wait and see.”
S: Could the baby Robert’s having with Rebecca change the situation?
RH: “The effect that will have on him will come as a bit of a shock. It’s a first for me having a baby on set and I was a bit nervous about holding it. It’s not that easy if you don’t handle babies very often as it’s not a skill you can practice. This particular baby’s a delight to work with, though. It’s pretty much always sleeping.”
S: What’s Robert going to do next?
RH: “Right now, we haven’t got to the end game and there’s a lot more damage he will inflict on the Whites in the coming weeks.”
