Thought tonights episode with Aaron and Paddy was fantastic. The actor who plays Aaron gave such a great performance, very heartfelt and emotional, Paddy telling him how much he hated him at first and wanted to get rid of him and now he loves him and thinks of him as a son, it was terrific, and i'm glad they shared that hug, very poignant indeed.

I love the way they are taking on this "gay" storyline, I love that they havent made the guys in the bar camp, and Jackson also. I heard that Aaron comes back and starts to have a relationship with Jackson, or tries to fight it at least and all the while they are showing how difficult it is for guys who are so confused like Aaron.
It makes them realise they don't have to be so typically camp to be gay!
Its brilliant! Last nights episode was amazing!

Emmerdale's Danny Miller has confessed that his alter ego Aaron Livesy will continue to fight his sexuality in the coming weeks.

The 19-year-old actor also revealed the consequences of Aaron's violent outburst in The Woolpack, which is shown in tomorrow night's episode of the Yorkshire soap.

He told TV Times: "If Aaron doesn't admit that he's gay, proving it wasn't a homophobic attack [against Jackson], then he faces six to 12 months inside.

"So during his final plea, he says, 'Jackson came to see me because he's gay - and I'm gay'. It's a massive step, the most unlikely way to come out."

The star added of Aaron's relationship with Jackson: "He's not necessarily in love with him, but he still has feelings for him, and will try to fight for him.

"He's got a way of bringing people in, then pushing them away. It would be too ideal if he and Jackson settled down. I'm not saying that I don't want Aaron to settle down, but maybe in a few years' time."

Emmerdale actor Andy Devine, who plays Shadrach Dingle in the soap, is reportedly devastated after learning that his character is to be killed off.

The actor, 67, had asked to go into semi-retirement after struggling to cope with the filming schedule, according to the Daily Star Sunday.

It is claimed that he was initially told he would be allowed to film scenes when it suited him, and return for major storylines involving the Dingles. However, he was later told that his character would be killed off.

A friend of the actor said: "Andy thought he would be able to come back every now and then, so to find out that Shadrach will leave Emmerdale in a body bag was a big disappointment."

An Emmerdale spokeswoman added: "Shadrach will be leaving the village on his birthday but how he goes remains to be seen. However, it’s not one to be missed."

Devine has been in the ITV1 soap for 12 years.

Emmerdale producer Gavin Blyth said: "Jake is a great addition to the cast. Isaac will be a fun character who will offer some light relief for Hannah as her family face their darkest hour."

Roche will arrive on screen as Isaac in August and has signed a contract with Emmerdale for the next few months.
