Do you think This is something to do with his charity?

Thanks.

Danny is usually very good when making private comments to not say anything that could give us clues about what happens in Emmerdale.

I think there's a shoving match between Finn and Kasim hence why Aaron involves himself so I think it would be odd for them to be back together at that point. I think Finn is playing games with Kasim tbh trying to make him jealous and coming up with plans to win him back or whatever.

Why is Kasim even hanging around? No friends, no job, no home, just WHY is he hanging around a tiny village?

I don't think Robert is deliberately making Aaron suffer for his friendship with Rebecca: I think Robert is pragmatic, and their friendship will only endure, frankly, while there is a profitable use for cooperation – if one or the other finds they are not getting anything (in financial terms) from the other, the friendship will fade away. As Robert pointed out last night to Aaron he was only interested in Chrissie because of her money, he loves Aaron even though he doesn't have very much.

I really feel though, in any relationship, if one party cannot fully trust the other they should not get married. Pierce has behaved far, far worse than Robert, to cite just one example.

I don't want to start another otiose “my lad is treated worse than your lad” argument, but I think it has to be said, that “Aaron's” problems have been well explored since 2010 and very well performed and written, but we should all remember Robert is experiencing his first committed relationship with another man, so he is very much in the situation Aaron was with Jackson, but nobody seems to take this very seriously or sympathetically. I should imagine it must be quite a shock or revelation, and that he needs to have allowances made. Let's remind ourselves where Aaron started out:

I've always wanted a long engagement (and would actually have preferred the proposal coming later this year rather than last) but really can't see them postponing the wedding, if only because of Lucy's maternity leave, because surely you can't have an Aaron wedding without Chas!!







To be fair though Lucie she could probably run in to a burning building and rescue Liv and Aaron and Scrappy too and even that might not be enough for you to even just tolerate her




I'm with you both on Bex.

And I hadn't heard about an announcement from Danny - when is it meant to be made??

Does he think he can bring it up? Robert made him promise that was the end of it yesterday and it wouldn't be brought up again. So Aaron probably feels like he's in a catch 22. He's feeling that way again but doesn't feen able to bring it up and explain why so bottles it again. It only comes to a head because it builds up so much and he finds out Robert lied about what he was doing, otherwise i do think that Aaron would just bottle it and bottle it to try and keep the peace and pretend it's fine.

I don't mind if he takes a break because that means he more likely to stay in the long run

Announcement being made at 6pm, apparently, exciting news for him but we probably wont be that excited he said.....

TBH thought I was thinking last night, I think it's getting to the stage now where ED might actually address Aaron's mental health issues properly so we may be looking at a stay in a rehab or something, and Danny takes a break for a while - maybe there's a small project in the pipeline which he needs time off ED for and this storyline would be the perfect opportunity for that?

Ah I dont know.

Who knows?

I think if Aaron tried to sit down and talk about it and explain how HE couldn't keep on like this either Robert would take notice. It doesn't have to be an ultimatum, but both of them are free to walk away and Aaron would be in his rights to do so as would Robert.

We all know Robert would fight tooth and nail to keep Aaron in that scenario. Obviously that's not the direction they want to go with this story at that stage.

By the time the crisis talks arrive it might arise then but Robert's immediate reaction to the police doesn't strike me as someone ready and happy to walk away from his relationship.

But even if Aaron does seek professional help unless something drastic happens (which I would not want to happen) I really can't see it warranting an in-patient stay (he certainly wouldn't fit NHS criteria at the moment anyway)

Just off to check Danny's Twitter......

Yeah my only problem with this is Aaron just not saying anything because he doesn't want Robert to think he doesn't trust him. I think I'd understand that if Bex was say.. Carly.. someone with no history & no feelings towards Robert. But Aaron surely must see that he's every right to voice how uncomfortable it makes him feel by Robert having a friendship with his ex flame who has admitted having no problem stealing Robert if she could. Aaron keeping this bottled up is more frustrating for me than the rest of it. I'm really looking forward to them having this out once again.

I dunno, if leaving or even taking a break, would be an "exciting" announcement for him. It would be a bit sad for him also. I think the bit about us not being so excited is not necessarily a negative, more just that it's something that impacts him personally more than it being a dig deal for anyone else.

Plus yesterday in an interview he mentioned working with Ryan for years to come.

He had good reviews for 'Cruel Summer' and the film was shown at an international festival in Barcelona, back in the summer. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if he hasn't picked up a significant role on the back of it, possibly outside the UK.

If that's the case, then we're probably looking at 6 - 12 months out of Emmerdale at the very least. The worst case is that he leaves for good.

I love the days where the thread has big in depth discussions like this

I really doubt it because that would be exciting for fans too.

He could have picked up a big award nomination or something though.

He doesn't need time off for that!: Liv and April (bless them )will "cure" him by reading The Ladybird Book Of The Bonce (probably of more practical help than the woeful "Mindfulness")

it could be exciting if there's a small project coming up for him, something he's always wanted to do maybe?

Taking a little break doesnt have any kind of impact on his words about wanting to work with Ryan for a while yet.. He could still be in ED for years, he could still be there when he's 40, so could Ryan... doesn't mean he wont get an opportunity to go out and try new things and I think ED would be more than flexible for that, within reason, as others have done this kind of thing before too.

It's no doubt charity/football related, probably thier fixtures for the season or something, but it doesnt hurt to speculate.

I think a break would be 3-4 months max. Dominic only took 4 months off and managed to fit a movie in.

Yes i bet it will be about OUAS. Though they or daniel haven't tweeted the same thing, which usually happens if an OUAS announcement is being made.

His personal trainer also said there was big stuff coming up for him this year. Speculation is fun

Duncan interview coming up in ten mins with Danny

If this storyline ends off with Aaron going to prison then I reckon about 6 months... If its GBH he's charged with that's usually the standard prison term for it, its what he would have got for hitting Jackson had he not came out in court. it could be 3-4 though, released early for good behaviour or something..

Adam only got a few months for Arson with Intent to Endanger Life, so you have know.

I bet Joanie gets about 4 years for hitting a copper and Lachlan gets let off for what he did, as Thomas Atkinson has upcoming SL's. Justice in ED makes no sense.

I wonder if the interview is new or the same as the radio times one. I know that the same interview often gets sent t every outlet.

It would be exciting for Danny Miller fans, but not for Aaron & Robron fans.

If it were to be a big award nomination, then why would Danny say "You probably won't be as excited as I am"?!

I hope Aaron doesn't go to prison. They will be having to rename the block "The Aaron Dingle Wing". Aaron's problems sometimes irritate me, but I don't wish prison on him, especially if the increasingly batty "Finn" is responsible for it

I am glad by the way, that Aaron didn't call Robert "babe" that's far too "Sean Tully" or "Christian" for Aaron. I think "Rob" or "mate" is more in character.
