I love Aaron but the whole Chrissy thing seemed very OOC.

I abhor the way that he seemed to make out that his affair with Robert was somehow Chrissie's fault.

And I think you only see what you want to see

Debbie has shown plenty of remorse for her actions.”

That's not true, there was one time when I thought Aaron was really wrong and that was when he slept with Finn and gave him the cold shoulder, that was wrong. I think he has shown guilt and remorse about the affair with Robert.

Debbie on the other hand has no problem stringing both Ross and Pete along for months and it seems over the last couple weeks she changes are mind about who she wants to be with showing no regard for their feelings, or how all this will affect her kids.

When has he shown remorse? He jumped on Robert the first chance he got and then swaggered about with a smile on his face. At least when Debbie and Chas with Cameron they felt guilty and apologised, Aaron on the other hand hasn't given a second of thought to Chrissie - well, apart from when he was jealous that Robert wanted to spend time with her. He's shows no remorse whatsoever.

Again, seeing what you want to see. We have had weeks (yes, I'm bored of this tedious affair too) of Debbie feeling guilty. We've seen her struggling to cope with the guilt of the affair and hurting Pete. She told Ross she couldn't hurt Pete or the kids - Yes, she did it anyway but she still showed remorse. When she decided to leave Pete, Ross wanted to go and tell him but to protect Pete's feelings, Debbie wanted to end it with him and leave Ross out of it completely. Knowing it would be a low blow in an already upsetting time for Pete. She has shown far more remorse than Aaron has.

Yesssss i hate him too! He has some cheek to look so smug about the whole affair! And if i remember correctly he was chasing robert at one point so i dont get why he said to chrissie that robert was after him. Plus i dont understand why people who have affairs think the blame can be taken off them if the other person was chasing after them! He wasn't forced to reciprocate!

Transcript from the pub scene:

CHAS: You might wanna go back through. She's got enough to deal with.
AARON: [laughs] You what?
CHRISSIE: No I can face him, I don't need your pity.
CHAS: Just trying to help.
CHRISSIE: Well you didn't think to do that before? When he was throwing himself at my husband might have been the time to step in.
[Aaron carries on laughing]
AARON: I didn't throw myself at him, he came after me.
CHAS: You're not helping. Just go.

I'd appreciate it if you could point out the remorse.

That would be good because they really didn't like each other in r/l.

Transcript from Wylie's Farm scene:

ROBERT: You knew what you were getting into, you knew the situation..
AARON: Yeah, unlike Chrissie. D'you know that poor cow's actually invited me to her wedding? Nice of her that, innit? Me being her fiance's gay lover.

AARON: I don't wanna ruin your life, you'll do that all by yourself if you marry her, but worse, you'll ruin hers as well.

Can't we just agree that the writers have been very inconsistent in writing some characters?

Aaron is a Dingle. Enough said.

so an 8 month long affair to you boils down to one scene that barely lasted 30 seconds? there is nothing else from which we can draw evidence?

and also what is it he should show remorse for?

Katie dying with everyone hating her and her going to Wylies because he txt her? yeah you would expect him to feel remorse about that and he did and to such an extent he almost killed himself twice.


I really don't get why he should be expected to be wracked with guilt. He is single and Chrissie is not a friend, not a relative, not someone who loved and trusted him. Yeah I would hope feels bad for her but it's not the same situation as Debbie, Ross and Pete for example.

Also lets not forget in the grand scheme of things out of Aaron and Chrissie, Aaron has been hurt and betrayed by Robert far worse than Chrissie ever will.


Chrissie: staged a raid on their home and scared her dad into having a heart attack (which Chrissie bizarrely forgave him for anyway) and had a long affair

Aaron: emotionally abused him, guilt tripped him into thinking he was responsible for someones death, left him to clean up his crime scene, watched him relapse and almost die and still didn't tell him the truth, hired a hit man to kill his mum (ok Aaron doesn't know about that yet) tried to kill his surrogate father, threatened the life of his godson, hit him over the head with a bottle, tied him to a radiator all night, held a loaded gun to his head and shot his surrogate father.

So I can see why Aaron might struggle to muster that much sympathy for Chrissie after being subjected to all that at the hands of her cheating husband. Of course maybe he deserved all of the above as some form of old testament biblical justice for committing the sin of adultery

He isn't a saint but no I don't hate him, he is one of the shows better characters.

I suppose it you think about it Aaron told Chrissie and then Chrissie threw it right back in his face during the reveal

Well sorcha already beat me to it, but I truly believe it's what Jackson would have wanted.

Christ, even reading that on the page makes my blood boil! What an absolutely hateful little sh*t he is.

"I f&cked your husband and now I'm gonna laugh in your face!"

There's really no way round it. He's a colossal c**t. He sure cries a lot, and every tear is for himself. He can't piss off soon enough.

Sleeping with a married man, it doesn't matter if Aaron was single or that Robert wanted him, he still chose to sleep with someone else's husband. He's not as guilty as Robert, but he still should feel immense guilt for playing a significant part in destroying someone's marriage.

He could show some remorse for breaking up Chrissie's marriage instead of laughing in her face. Ok it wasn't all down to him, but just because Robert wanted to have an affair it didn't mean Aaron had to reciprocate! Nobody forced him, he chose to have an affair with a married man all of his own doing. Anyone with an ounce of decency, whether they knew the wife or not, whether they were friends or not, would try to stay out of the way knowing they'd already caused a great deal of hurt and upset and not want to cause any more. Not wander around bold as brass in front of her, laughing in her face and flaunting the fact her husband was having it off with someone else, and not just a cheap bit of skirt but another man, just to make her feel even more stupid and worthless

As for Aaron being more hurt and betrayed by Robert than Chrissie ever will be, I don't think so. Chrissie thought she knew the man she married and has discovered her whole relationship, wedding and marriage is a complete sham, that she had no clue who the man she thought loved her really was, and that all he really loved was her money and status. Aaron on the other hand knew exactly what Robert was, exactly what he meant to him and exactly what he was like. He knew Robert killed someone who was his ex girlfriend and brother's wife without the slightest remorse or thought, if he can do that Aaron shouldn't be too surprised at him trying to kill Paddy and all the other things he's done. He knows full well what he's capable of and choses to ignore it, he could tell Andy the truth about his wife's death but he won't because it doesn't suit him. He's every bit as bad as Robert and sitting there flowing like a water feature doesn't make him any less so.

He must be a good actor to induce all this rage from viewers!

I don't like Chrissie much either. Remember her defence of her woeful son? Shudder.

Aaron is so smug about it that he didn't even have the decency to apologise to chrissie and it doesn't matter if she wasn't his bestie that doesn't mean it is okay for him to show no remorse! Even when he was revealing the affair to chrissie it was like he was shouting at her like it was her fault! If he had some decency he would have told chrissie about it way back but no only once HE was done with it did he want to reveal it!
He is NOT the victim in this.

I haven't had a chance to watch tonight's episode yet, but it sounds to me like Aaron was just in his feelings right then, he has shown remorse and guilt in the past about the affair.
