Well I mean Aaron in no Jack Bauer, but he's a great character that is great to root for. I also don't think he blames anyone for his issues, he takes full responsibility for everything he's done and then some.
I really need a good laugh at the moment, thank you

I didn't say that I watch Aaron - that's just an assumption on your part. I never watch ED live as I'm always making my evening meal when it's on. I record it then end up ffing a lot of it.
Very wise.

LOL good point. Well you are missing out on two of Emmerdale's finest actors. BTW do you fast forward through Ross too? I know you don't like him either.

she'll be fast forwarding through your posts if you don't stop telling her who are Emmerdale's finest actors.

Mark - just because YOU think so doesn't mean other people do. And keeping telling us will not change people's minds.

Thanks chitarivera and you're so right. We all have our favourite actors and characters but the majority of us don't force our opinions down other FMs throats, we accept the differences of opinion without trying to change each others minds.

It is correct to say that everyone is entitled to their opinion, be it regarding a programme, an actor, a character, a storyline or a scene, etc. Is it possible, though, to have an opinion that is worth articulating in respect of parts through which one habitually fast forwards? Furthermore, can one have an opinion worthy of articulation in respect of the totality of a particular show, if one habitually fast forwards through large chunks of it?

Bahahahahahahahaha, good one! Everything, literally everything Aaron has done has been somebody's, anybody's fault but his own.

It was Katie's fault Robert killed her and Aaron covered it up - he had no choice in the matter. Or a voicebox to tell anyone it seems.
It was Robert's fault he had an affair with him - apparently Aaron is completely incapable of thinking for himself.
It was Lawrence's fault Aaron almost gave him a heart attack - the old fool shouldn't have been in his house when Aaron wanted to commit a crime there.
It was James's fault Aaron smashed a bottle over his head - he said some nasty words and poor lickle blubber boy got his itty bitty feelings hurt. Awwwwwwww.
It was Chrissie's fault that Aaron had been shagging her husband - she shouldn't have been married to Robert and got in their way.
It was Chas's fault he got banged up for hiding a gun in a car engine - she forced him to do so. He wasn't sat in a prison cell blaming himself for being so stupid and realising it was his own fault he was there, oh no siree, he was too busy blaming everyone else, Chas, Adumb for filming it, the company who made Adumb's phone capable of capturing videos, whoever invented videos in the first place...

And when he undoubtedly gets caught in his latest crime spree with Ross, no doubt it will be the fault of whoever catches him /reports him/ finds out about it, or Garbling Gordon for daring to show his face in the village and upset the Angsty one. Or maybe it will be Chas's again for giving birth to him and therefore causing him to be there to commit crimes with Ross. Because no matter what he does, who he hurts, how much upset he causes or what the consequences to his dreadful actions are, nothing is ever Aaron's fault. It will be etched on his grave one day, right alongside "it's what he would've wanted" will be "it was never his fault".

I would choose a cow pat off one of Moira's livestock over Aaron. It would be a damn site more pleasant to be near.
Come on now, that is a bit much.
Me too collie me too.

Alcohol doesn't change a person, it only brings out a side of you that you usually keep in check.

- Killing Daisy (and showing little remorse)
- Humiliating and verbally abusing her ex-stepdaughter.
- Being outright nasty to Harriet at the hospital
- Hitting Marlon and causing him to need surgery (ok, we all want to do that)
- Relishing telling Gabby & co that Ashley had died

I would want nothing to do with her. She's vile.
Bet you hate her even more after last nights ep heh

Aaron is putting up a Christmas tree and is just testing the lights when they go wrong and electrocutes him then the the tree falls on him and all they find after the woolie burns down as well is a pile of Aaron shaped ashes.

A lot of what' s said on here is lighthearted and I think needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Aaron is a surly piece of work, and in real life any rational person wouldn't go near him with a bargepole. He never treats anyone with any politeness, with a smile, and it's Chas' shoddy parenting that has taught him that he can do no wrong.

Saying that, that's the one thing he does have over someone like Laurel. She is a snake - she pretends to be oh so sweet, a sugar wouldn't melt kind of woman, but is as selfish and as nasty as they come. I suppose you can give Aaron credit for being an outright nasty bastard.
I' m glad I' m not the only one who thinks that way about Laurel I' m not sure it' s deliberate but she does have a sugary sweet exterior, that hides a real nasty streak. She doesn' t come across as genuine.

So because Aaron feels angry about Gordon, he takes it out on a dutiful haulage worker by punching him unconscious during a robbery (well, a Rossbery).

Can't wait to see Mark Washington defending this one.

I though Ross and Aaron were great tonight, Ross just simply didn't care when he was in the warehouse and did anyone lip read "Dirty bastards". Aaron for the first time didn't make an excuse for what he done. Also to those saying Ross was being hypocritical saying he was shocked at Aaron, maybe its just because he has never seen Aaron do anything like that before.

Maybe, I never thought about that - you mean Ross grabbing the toys?
It didn' t work for me. I find it a bit troubling that they mix humour with that degree of violence. Tarantino carries that off, but Emmerdale doesn' t.

....what you all fail to realise about everything being Aaron's fault is, that it is all actually Adam's fault really.
He saved Aaron when he was trying to kill himself in the Garage.


Adam really must be punished.

Or die.

I am now trying to find a way to blame Adam for Laurel's snake-like nasty streak too.

There must be a way.

Anyone????

I had to fast forward through this post.
Although I get your drift.

If one hurries through ones dinner and gobbles down the food can one have an opinion on whether the food eaten was too salty or not salty enough?

I just felt like the were trying to make it more lighthearted but I agree that it didn't work. They should keep comedy and violence separate.

Adam failed to stop his cousin/brother from turning into a car jacker. Laurel spent her entire life just knowing that at some point she' d be car jacked and it tainted her....

Adam spilled chemicals in the stream and polluted it. Everyone blamed the sweetie factory and Laurel as foreman was put under unbearable stress, leading to her snapping a few years later...

Adam sh%gged Declan' s wife. Suspicious Declan took his anger out on his mate Jai, who then shouted at Laurel in the factory ..see above...

Adam set fire to the garage, causing the release of toxic fumes, which Laurel inhaled causing permanent brain damage and resulting personality change.

Sorry can' t think of any more, but this is fun, I' ll keep trying
D

Poor much maligned Adam, I quite like him when he' s not shouting or sulking.
