Development

Robbie was introduced as a sixth form student who was going to be trouble.[7] Wernham auditioned for the show the previous year, attending his second audition on 24 October 2012.[4] Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy later revealed Robbie is a "troublesome new student" and he would befriend established character Callum Kane (Laurie Duncan).[5] The writer added that Robbie's headteacher Patrick Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) thinks he can control his behaviour, but Robbie soon begins to cause trouble.[3]

Dirk Savage.[10]

During the Hollyoaks Summer 2015 trailer, it was shown that Robbie and Holly would hook up.

Ben Bradley is the only one who knows about this affair between them and he is using Robbie to get information on Trevor in exchange he won't tell Jason about the affair. When discussing Holly and Robbie's affair, Wernham explains to Digital Spy "Robbie and Holly sleeping together comes out of nowhere and it shocks both of them. I think it sparks something in Robbie and he realises that he has feelings for her, which is not good when Holly is going out with his brother! That will be an ongoing thing. I didn't know it was going to happen until I read the scripts. At first I thought it was going to be a one-off thing and they'd be trying to hide it from Jason, but it's not - Robbie starts to develop feelings for her."[13] In an interview Wernham admitted that he would be surprised if his on-screen brother would let Robbie's affair with Holly go.[14] When Robbie's departure was announced Wernham stated "This time, I felt that it was the right time for me to do other things - given my age, the amount of time I'd been in the show and where my character was at." in an interview.[15]
