It sounds like it's going to be very dark as the actor has said that's it's going to be challenging to go to the places you need to in your head.

Any ideas what it could be?

I have really grown to like Aaron, he is a sensitive young man and Matt's acting is improving- having seen the cast pic of Ned Willis- I would love them to be an item even though Aaron is with Nate right now.

I agree, I love Aaron now and I think he's great with Nate (looking forward to him returning).

What could his dark storyline be?

Dark and Neighbours has never really worked, well other than Paul's nut job son killing the Bishops.

I tend to agree - on Neighbours words like 'drugs' becomes ''stuff' so I'm not sure how dark a storyline can go now. Also, wasn't it implied that Rebecca was raped by her ex and that's how she became pregnant with Declan? I'm sure that was implied, but it was never said outright.

However, a lot was implied in the scene with Terese and Ezra (we found out that he tried to attack her) and some of the stuff with Nate has been quite dark, so I suppose it depends on what it is to how much they will show.

Yeh, but he's left the street at the moment after he attacked Dennis Dimato. He was talking about his issues and said to Aaron that he needed some time away to get his head together. I remember reading about a year ago that Meyne had been allowed some time off in November to do a play, so that's why he's left temporarily.

Haven't they changed the rating recently though? So maybe they can get away with a bit more now.

The ratings are descriptive not prescriptive. If Neighbours started doing edgier stuff, which they could do if they chose, the Australian rating might be reviewed and perhaps upped to PG. They could still go to air in their current timeslot on eleven with a PG rating, so there's nothing really preventing it as far as Australian broadcasts go. However Neighbours steadfastly stick to G rating content, and it is still rated G. Perhaps because this is what they are known for? (When they went into the crazier revenge plotlines with guns and bombs on planes, the ratings dropped.) Perhaps the producers have sold it internationally under the G content premise?

Personally I think that it was Susan Bower who personally chose to play it super safe and over cautious. She was probably more restrictive than neccesary.

Hmm...

I do think it's got a bit edgier in recent years so I'm optimistic that this dark storyline will actually be dark.

I'm unsure whether Matt saying that it's going to be challenging means that he's going to have to show a mean side to Aaron, or whether he'll showing a more vulnerable side to him.

They may have done because they've started using words like 'crap' which they never said before.

Aaron has vastly improved now one of my favourites

I think putting him in scenes with Paul and now Sonya has helped with that alongside Nate, Mark and Tyler.

Wow - it only took 4 posts for someone on DS to link a dark story for a gay character to the term "abuse storyline".

I was thinking just the other day how much Aaron has improved and that i actually quite like him now.

Maybe it is partly as shallow as putting him in a suit and giving him a 'proper' job - he seems like he has more substance to him now.

Could it be something to do with Tom (was it) Quill that appeared last week? He was obviously taken with him, said he was rubbish at asking people out, perhaps his interest turns obsessive or dangerous?

Domestic abuse in same sex relationships is a big taboo but neither Aaron or Nate live together - if Aaron and Nate lived together they could go down this route. I am not sure what the dark storyline will be but Aaron is lovely.

I assume it's in the future and not going to involve Tom Quill? (I think that's his name!)

It may involve Nate. Nate is back in time for Explosion week.

I think it would be great if they did this. Neighbours does seem to be slowly shifting from its cutesy image slightly. I needed someone to pass me the smelling salts yesterday when Aaron's new boyfriend alluded to needing the toilet in the Waterhole. And they seem obsessed with sex now!!!

I hope this storyline has nothing to do with the explosion. From the timings, I assume it's something that is being filmed now so will be on screen July time?

Has anyone heard any details yet?

Does anyone else think that Tom is alive and will get revenge on Aaron? Maybe this will be the dark storyline? I can see a revenge plot happening rather than him being found dead.

I'm glad him and Nate are (kind of) back together

I haven't seen today's episode - I wonder what will happen with Tom?
