With characters accused but still no answers, Robert was worrying about who was to blame.Aaron Dingle was on-hand to support his partner, wanting to protect him as Robert spiralled. Aaron vowed to get his revenge, but he refused to let Robert make himself ill over the mystery of who was targeting him.As Aaron begged Robert to take a break from the farm to get some sleep, Robert was reluctant but soon the pair left the area.

So who was watching Robert and why?Well, there are two possibilities here which could well reveal who is behind it. We are set to find out this week onscreen, as revealed in spoilers, that Kammy Hadiq is homeless.Aaron and Robert will find him at the farm later this week, so it could have been Kammy hiding out there waiting for the pair to leave. Kammy has been sleeping in one of the barns, so it's very possibly he was hiding so that he wouldn't be seen.The other very plausible conclusion is that it's the fire starter. They could be watching Robert ensuring he has left the farm before starting another fire.If it's the fire starter, it could be Kammy or one of the other suspects accused of the crime. So it seems clear the person watching him is either the person targeting him with the fires, or it's Kammy.It comes as a credits blunder in an episode last week left many viewers convinced the ITV soap had made a mistake in giving away a crucial detail.When the fire starter was shown in the opening of Thursday's episode, the game appeared to be given away. While the identity was not revealed onscreen, a credits clue may have exposed the truth.We only saw a hooded figure in a black tracksuit and trainers, holding a lighter. But as the end credits for the episode aired, one character was named at the top of the list.Article continues belowGiven the credits is listed in order of appearance, fans were certain the soap had just let slip the person starting the fires. This is because Kyle Winchester was the character noted at the top, and therefore suggested to be the person in the opening scene.Some fans have wondered if it was a red herring to throw us off, as others glossed over the credits completely. Many fans still believe Kyle is not the arsonist, and it's someone else.Emmerdale airs weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX. * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads .
