Emmerdale - Chas/Aaron ages?
Hi does anyone know how old Chas, Aaron and Gordon are supposed to be in Emmerdale? How old was Chas when she gave birth?

Chas married in 1991, so she must be around 40-42. (The actress is 38.) Aaron is around 24.

Aaron turns 24 at the start of Jan, the character is almost exactly a year younger than Danny Miller.
I always thought Chas was around 16 when she had Aaron but knowing she was married implies she was a bit older, I'd still say Chas supposed to be early 40's 43 max |

I thought Cain was the eldest out of him and Chas, and I believe he just turned 40 in the show, so that'd mean Chas was around 38/39.

Chas was born Dec 1976, making her 39 and had Aaron when she was 15. .http://emmerdale.wikia.com/wiki/Chas_Dingle According to this she married Gordon in 1991, she would have been 14/15????? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingle_family http://emmerdalepastpresent.wikia.com/wiki/Chas_Dingle Quote:
Chas was born on the 19th December 1976 at Hotten General Hospital to Shadrach Dingle and Faith Dingle. She was the younger sister of Cain Dingle, whom Shadrach believed to be his son unbeknown that his brother Zak Dingle had an affair with Faith in 1974. Chas met Gordon Livesey when young and gave birth to their son Aaron in January 1992. Gordon and Chas separated and Chas left Aaron to live with his father and his new wife Sanda.

I don't think the show knows any better than us what age she is lol
Cain is 41 with a birthday in November and is the oldest but Chas (birthday in February) has a (soon to be) 24 year old son she had whilst married, nothing about it adds up. |

I don't know where wikia got December from but Chas celebrated her birthday in February this year and her passport was shown on screen with a ridiculous d.o.b of February 1978 making her 13 when Aaron was born, which is just not compatible with her and Gordon's backstory, by the time they both got to marrying age, they should already have been divorced
If they put her birthday somewhere in the later half on 1975 that would make her almost exactly a year younger than Cain and 16 when Aaron was born, which just about works with her backstory. |

Back in 2009 they bumped Aaron's age up (can't remember if it was by 1 or 2 years) - this was so that the character could be old enough (18) in order to do the coming out storyline (had to be seen to be old enough to go to a gay bar).
Of course - this also then reflects on Chas's backstory - she was supposed to have met Gordon when she was at business college. It would seem the show paid no regard to what the changing of Aaron's age would do to the backstory of Chas - even more pertinent now if they are going to re-visit it. |

Chas has always suffered from a typical case of too much history for her age, at least in my opinion. She has a business degree, has been in the army, worked as a stripper for several years, was married to Gordon, had Aaron and got divorced all before coming to live in ED in her mid 20s.
And of course the fact that she was a young teen mum and bride never comes up when she (or anyone else) talks about her life, or people accuse her of being a bad mother, or not being there for Aaron as a kid. It will be interesting to see if and how they explain all this now that Gordon is back, but I assume it won't be mentioned. |

I expect her backstory is going to get even more confusing now that Gordon is back not less

She had a line about soldiers a little while ago that totally disregarded that she had ever been in the army herself.
1978... no offence but to look at her you would put her around 1968 not 1978. |

Who says they were married before they had Aaron? They could of married when Aaron was a toddler or something.

To be honest, that is what I always believed. I thought Chas had Aaron while she was at school, married Gordon once she was old enough, left years later and became a stripper before turning up in Emmerdale.
No matter what way you look at her back story makes no sense. |

She could have been married at 16, either by getting parental permission and marrying in England, or eloping and marrying in Scotland where parental permission would not be needed. She might have been pregnant when she married. So if she' s 40 she could ( just) have married and had a child in wedlock in 91. There only has to be 9 months between her and Cain, as well. They could well be stair step kids with barely any break between the pregnancies.
It could certainly do with a bit of clarification though. Maybe they' ll suddenly start celebrating her birthday

![]() That would allow fora year and a bit age gap between her and Cain, and for her to have given birth in 92 or slightly earlier. They might have to retcon the year she got married, or could it be a good old fashioned mistake on the website? The problem has been caused by ageing Aaron up by a year or so when he reappeared, so they will have to ' fudge' things a wee bit with Chas I suspect.

Chas's backstory is the definition of 'overwritten'. I'm surprised she didn't manage to win the Nobel Peace Price in between getting her degree and beginning her stripping career.

Have to hand it to her, getting her degree when she had so much going on in her family life ![]() I suppose they could argue that she was at college at 16? Maybe an FE or sixth form college? I had a friend at university who started at 16, having got good enough Highers in 5 th year but the they have a different system in that there England... Either way, Chas packed a lot into her mid teens
