If he was that full of guilt and remorse he'd have run his gob off not his legs. Aaron kept quiet because it suited him to.

watch the episodes after Donna's death! Michael Parr was amazing!
![]() I hated Ross and Donna. I didn't believe in that love story. The two actors didn't make me feel it. I just hated it and saw it as a poor reason to bring in yet another annoying child [April.] I don't know why they had to involve Ross in all of that tosh. So I must have missed Mike Parr's cry- acting. |

He was scared and was acting off instinct, also he was in love with Robert so he didn't want to get him in trouble. He was letting his feelings cloud his judgement.
Aaron uses his own past feelings of himself and relays that on to how he interprets Robert's behaviour. There was a bit of "I love you, I can help you - I've been there" I would say there is/was also an element of Aaron feeling like he "understood" Robert when he interpreted Robert's behaviour in that way. This is part of the reason why he's stuck by Robert - and not allowed himself to see Robert for what he really was - and of course, Robert always knew when to throw in the "I love you's". Robert played Andy like a violin tonight - just the same way as he's played Aaron like a violin since Katie's death. Of course - where the show will go with them as a storyline now is anyone's guess - they have a fandom to appease. |

I have never seen any depth in his character. He is a one note character, who pairs well with a little girl on screen. Whoop di do

I saw it as a bit more than that - to me, it always felt like Aaron thinks Robert is just someone who is too scared to admit he's gay.

Robert has shown that he's incapable of love of any kind with anyone. I think he's beyond redemption and to continue with the pairing could make Aaron look like a fool. |

Poor bawby wawby Aaron who never comitted a crime or concealed a death was scawed. ![]() He covered it up for self serving reasons and if Robert has to take responsibility so does he. But then he's a Dingle and they're always getting away with crimes

I don' t know that it is hypocrisy. I think Aaron for all he's selfish, destructive and self indulgent he doesn't usually intentionally set out to hurt others. He does cause lots of damage and he certainly doesn't t learn any lessons from it but on the whole he' s not deliberately cruel or vindictive. He' s hugely unlikeable to me but I can see why people wouldn' t consider him as ' bad' as Cain or Ross. Although frankly I' d argue that Cain, for all the terrible things he' s done is the better person - he' s got some concern for other people and a bit of self awareness.
![]() But yes, on the whole I think we're meant to see Aaron as a troubled guy with a good heart deep down. Inconsistent writing ruins this though. |

. He also had no qualms about hurting Andy by letting him think Katie didn't love him and that his wife's last actions was trying to leave him just to save his own sorry waste of skin . If it suits him to be, Aaron can be a right nasty git.Quote:

If he's got a good heart, I'd hate to see him if he had a rotten one
Aaron might not be quite at Robert's swinging brick level, but his heart is still darker than the inside of a cow. Emmerdale are determined to write him as the tragic hero though and people believe it. I doubt he'd have the same following if he was a straight character.

Ross is much more interesting than Aaron.
Well, he was until the writers dragged him down with the Debbie crap. In certain aspects I may be coming round to your point of view ![]()
