Plus this is a huge retcon on Aaron and Gordon's past. A potentially decent new character has been sacrificed on altar of Aaron to keep the miseryfest going. |

It would have had more impact if it was somebody other than Aaron. Aaron storylines are just one cry session after another that they lose the impact and investment from the audience after awhile.

I think it's good they are raising the issue, regardless of what character they give the storyline too. Having said that Danny is a great actor and will no doubt do the storyline justice.

Hate this. Aaron in Emmerdale, Brendan in HO, etc.... does every gay character need to have sexual abuse in their childhood?? This just reinforces some awful, enduring connotations, such as homosexuality being the result of trauma. Bollocks.
Not to talk about the blatant retcon, but whatever. |

Aaron is messed up anyway so it's fitting I guess that he has a dark past.

Anyway, there's no doubt that if there is an actor who can do justice to such a storyline, that's Danny Miller. He's going to knock it out of the park (he already did it tonight), and that's probably why they decided to tackle this kind of storyline with Aaron. |

Agreed. He arrived in Emmerdale after attacking his step mother.
I'm struggling to see this retcon that people are talking about. I'm not sure if any of what we saw tonight contradicted anything we've seen before. |

Yeah, he said it, and that's good...still, there is still so much ignorance out there and so many people who think along that lines that having these kind of storylines repeatedly doesn't help at all. I just wonder whether it was really necessary.

Chas has been likeable for the first time in years since hooking up with Gordon. So it's a shame they have decided to fritter him away on this retcon of a plot. Gary Mavers is a good actor as well. I am most offended by them using this to reunite Aaron and never-interested-in-guys-before-2014 Robert.

It is a ridiculous storyline that a strong boy - and I would think he was a very strong 12 yr. old by his build - could be overpowered time after time by a weedy chap like Gordon; and that he wouldn't have told somebody, his teacher, his best friend, his step-mother. Typical Kate Oates' rubbish; I will pleased when any vestige of her reign in Emmerdale is wiped out. .

This storyline will be interesting and i'm glad it is Aaron, it explains a lot of his back story.
Danny Miller and Ryan Hawley were fantastic last night. |

I like Chas and Gordon together, why oh why did they have t ruin it by claiming he is a peadophile? awful decision, and one that will probably make me stop watching yet again if it means that Aaron and Robert get back together, he KILLED Katie and dragged Aaron into it, they must never be together again, in fact, the Robert character needs to be killed off.
Are we supposed to warm to him because of last night? no thanks. Keep Gordon and Chas together and turn the story into a placed memory kind of thing, Aaron himself says he doubted for a while if it even happened, save the character of Gordon and let Chas have some happiness. |
