So much for Paddy being his dad, who needs enemies with a "son" like him.

Can't you understand why Aaron is mad at Paddy? He held Paddy in a very high regard and was shocked that Paddy would have an affair especially after the way Paddy went at him for sleeping with Robert, plus Paddy acted so nonchalant about the whole thing like it wasn't a big deal and that he really loved Rhonna.

What about Rhona - do you think she deserves what Aaron did? She's done nothing wrong. Aaron's just all 'me, me, me' and doesn't care what he does as long as he gets what he wants. And what he wants right now is to hurt Paddy and he doesn't care who else he hurts on the way. He's just a selfish little crybaby.

I get your point but do you thin Rhona would be trying to adopt a baby if she knew Paddy was cheating on her? Aaron did Rhona a favor by throwing a wrench into the adoption.

You answered better than I would have done

well if he had any guts he should have told Rhona the truth than run squealing and crying to the Social worker behind the idiots back.

Yes I do think she would, she really wants another child. But besides that Aaron just threw his toys out of the pram like he always does. I was expecting him to stamp his foot like a spoilt little brat. I really wish Robert had done some of us a favour and actually shot Aaron when he had him locked up.

Thank you

Ok, but don't you think Aaron had some right to be upset? Didn't you feel sorry for him on some level even if you don't agree with his actions?

No I don't think he had any right to be upset - what Paddy does with his life is up to Paddy. Aaron is a law unto himself, he just does what he wants, stuff everybody else. No I definitely don't feel sorry for him on any level. On the contrary I dislike him even more now, if that's possible.

Wow ok. I gotta disagree thoug. Especially since Paddy was the one telling Aaron to end the affair with Robert and sent Chrissie that "reign in your cheating husband" note. When you find out someone you love and hold in a high regard and they do something you thought'd they'd never do it can be upsetting because they aren't living up to your expectations and that is what happened with Aaron and Paddy.

Aaron is in an impossible position. It's not his place to tell Rhona, plus he can't betray Paddy. If he told Rhona he'd get stick for that too. He was asked on a child's behalf whether it would be a stable home for them to stay in and now he knows about the affair he can't guarantee that. It's terrible for Rhona but I can understand why he'd put the child first given the background he came from. I do think he should have told Paddy what he did but I imagine he's trying to split him and Tess up. Hopefully he tells Paddy to tell Rhona the truth.

I can understand why Aaron would feel upset to find out Paddy was just a cheating scumbag, perfectly happy to destroy two marriages in the process, (his own and Pierce's), but Aaron's 'rights' don't come into it - god knows he didn't give two hoots about helping to destroy Knobert's marriage, or covering up Katie's manslaughter, or the guy he beat up the other week etc etc etc.

But understanding the selfish little git's selfish feelings is one thing - condoning what he did in acting like a spoilt brat, hell bent on ruining Paddy and destroying Rhona in the process, is quite another. There re no excuses for him this time.....if indeed there ever were.

I completely agree


I don't think his point was to ruin Paddy and Rhona's life, he doesn't feel that a child should be brought into a family that has marriage that is on shaky ground. Honestly I think the only thing Aaron did wrong was not tell Paddy what he did.

Why is it not his place?

It would be much better coming from Paddy if they have any chance at all of making it work. Either that Paddy could agree to forget about Tess and Rhona wouldn't need to know and get hurt by it. Plus Aaron's loyalty rightly or wrongly will remain with Paddy with all he has done for him in the past. It's difficult in that situation what is the right thing to do.

No, no and no. Aaron has no right whatsoever to take the moral high ground and lecture anyone about anything, get upset at their actions or feel sorry when things go wrong. Getting a lecture on good behaviour off Aaron is akin to getting a lecture on peace and harmony by ISIS, and If I was Paddy I'd have slapped the hypocritical scrote so hard he'd have needed surgery to remove the imprint.

Aaron might have seemed a hypocrite in what he said to Paddy but I totally agreed with him. Aaron knows what it is like growing up without both parents and has previously spoken to Paddy that he only seemed to be going along with adoption due to Rhona and not because he wanted to. Now he finds out Paddy is having an affair and it can only end badly thus affecting the children. How can Paddy want to bring a child into a relationship when he is carrying on with someone else and claims he loves her? It will all end in tears and this time it wont be Aaron's.

I don't think he was taking the moral high ground, he felt Paddy was better than this and if anyone is the hypocrite its Paddy for having an affair after all he did during the RobRon affair. Plus Aaron at least loved Robert (no matter how misguided it was) Paddy doesn't love Tess, its all about sex and in that way it makes it worse than RobRon because Paddy is doing it because he wanted something different.

Aaron wasn't married with young children when he had an affair, he was single with no commitments. He played a huge part in hurting Chrissie I'm not denying that but the situation is different.

I know what it's like to grow up without both my parents around too and you know what? It's really not anything to get so worked up over.

Aside from that, I thought Aaron was the best he's been in ages and was firmly on his side with what he did. Although it would have been preferable for him to tell Rhona the truth. But then, we wouldn't have Sally Spode Mk II story. If only he hadn't already been involved with a married man himself... oops.

Of course it was his point to ruin Paddy and Rhona's life. He couldn't care less about the child, he just wants to hurt Paddy and this is the way he's going about it.

I think you're wrong about that and this is going to tie into the secret about Aaron's childhood. I also think the last thing Aaron wants to do is hurt Paddy, remember he is keeping Paddy's secret about Tess, if he really wanted to hurt Paddy he'd have marched straight over to Rhona and let her know what was going on. Aaron loves Paddy like a dad and would never do anything intentionally to hurt him.

Aaron may have been single but Robert wasn't. Aaron knew he shouldn't have gone along with Robert wanting to shag him whenever he felt like it but he did. Aaron showed absolutely no remorse about hurting Chrissie. If anything he took pleasure in it.

If he hadn't wanted to hurt Paddy he wouldn't have said anything to the social worker. He always has his own agenda - me, me, me.
