THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THESE ! I am not from the UK but I am obsessed with Aaron's storylines, and after Robert left , it seems that everyone has given up on showing the stories! There is still so much to be told, with Liv and now Ben! simply thank you
My first boyfriend was a guy who gay bullied me pretty badly. I am 50 now and we haven't been together since my freshmen year in college. both of us moved on years ago, but we are good friends to this day. The thing is, he was freaked out that he had intense feelings for me. It took him a bit to work it out, and after we had made peace(with significant pressure from mutual friends to lay off me lol), became friends and he was dating my ex girlfriend....he made a massive pass at me one night while we were camping. Shortly after him and my ex gf broke up peacefully. She was awesome about the whole thing. The thing is that I got it even then. He was tortured and took it out on others, I was tortured and took it out on myself. While he didn't beat me up, he was pretty cruel and trashed my rep publicly. The healing that came from that fumbly first night in the dark and what followed changed both our lives for the better. I was a band/theater geek track runner, a high GPA'd student with a passion for marine biology and he a varsity football captain with a serious artist, nerd, and engineer side. I am short and dark, while he is tall and blond. Now I look back and it seems like a fairy tale, no pun intended, but it wasn't. That forgiveness on my part and courage on his part with empathy on both parts has lead to a life long friendship and two lives that are way better for it. He lives 12 hours away with his wife, while I am currently single by choice though my ex a very open gay US Marine veteran and I have been rekindling a lot this year. My former high school bully is hetero leaning Bi. I'm just plain gay. We exchange facebook messages regularly(I just chatted with him today). Why am I writing all this? Well... because I hope the writers use this story to bring needed healing for both characters and perhaps bring Aaron's story full circle to a healthy stable place with real joy for a while...something he really has never had. Frankly I couldn't stand Robert because he was so long term pathologically deceitful going WAY back. It's something Aaron really isn't. I know for drama and realism's sake it might be a bumpy icky road for Ben and Aaron, but the opportunity for a truly positive hopefully message is here. Something we could all use right now(especially gay viewers as it usually doesn't end happy for us on tv), and that Aaron deserves it(after some grief from Ben of course lol I mean it is a soap.)
Actual on screen chemistry... loved Robron but it took a bit of time for it to feel realistic, only last 6 months of them where you could see the actors had bonded and they had affection that them added to them on screen, but this is nice chemistry, I’m making an assumption the actor playing Ben is gay as the flirtation seems very well done. And let’s face it, it’s hard to go up opposite Danny, he’s one of the best actors on screen in the U.K. and in a soap, he always impressed me with his level of emotion, I’d love to see him really go for something that’s not a soap however not a criticism.
In Aaron's defence.... the vllage is the size of a shoe box, it might actually be a coincident he keeps bumping into Ben..... God, I really hope this isn't gonna turn into a vigilante story. I get it, Aaron was an absolute arseholle to Ben and I can't really blame him if he wants to get even but can we just hold up with the writers using Aaron as a punching bag, just for a year or so? Just to have a change of pace if nothing else, I'm tired of watching Aaron in absolute misery or not having a stl at all.
@@libby1977 And what is the common theme of all those storylines? Absolute misery on Aaron's part. Suicide attempts, assisted suicide, heart break and devistation, self harm, depression, jail, childhood trauma and sexual abuse, then some more jail time and heartbreak. Oh, and he almost got killed or died a couple of times. Yes, Danny gets alot of storylines but not a single one of them has been happy for longer than 5 minutes. Every relationship he's had has end up with him deep in depression. THAT's my point. I'm tired of it. I want to see Aaron have a nice, trouble free year where he's not being used or abused in some kind of way.
he's going to try to drown him, or at least seriously enough to get his 'revenge' - you can see it a mile off, but then it will be followed with another weird relationship. Eastenders have gone the same route - messed up, ex-bully gay characters - would be nice to actually have a gay character who has had a normal life rather than have some victim/dark backdrop. We are not all tortured souls, certainly fewer of Aaron's generation and younger are though they'd argue gays have never had it so bad..... Look forward to the day when being gay isn't even something that needs to be mentioned or thought about rather than the way it is today which is just one of many ways to somehow inherit more social credit/victimhood.
First off Aaron, the term is victim, Ben was your victim. Secondly, I can't help but think Ben's going to make Aaron fall in the water or something when they go Kayaking. Please don't be the case. Lastly, take it slow Aaron, don't rush and don't be rushed.
You can see the revenge plot instantly. Another no good relationship for Aaron. The victim is not going to fall in love with his bully/abuser. Ben is going to want Revenge on Aaron for the horrors he put him through. Be better if they just tried to be friends and give Aaron someone to focus on that is not Robert, and to make amends. I predict a Kayak "accident"any day now. Ben is already projecting anger . Aaron will simply never find love in Emmerdale and the writers will constantly create story lines that will have Aaron crying. He's so good at crying. He gets awards for crying. We must make Aaron miserable so we can see him crying. All gay relationships must be miserable and end in tragedy, At least in Emmerdale.
@@j04370859 Except that's how it works. Bullying, especially violent bullying, leaves scars that just don't heal quickly. Aaron, for all his troubles, did cruel things to Ben, so bad that Ben wished he was dead. So no, I don't think (at least I hope) they don't gloss over what Aaron did too quickly. At least have Aaron try to atone first before tossing him into a relationship.
please give Aaron a happy storyline
Ben reminds me so much of Jackson

Igor Araujo Almeida I’m also not from the UK and I feel so grateful to have the chance to watch even more of Aaron’s storylines!! 💖

This is such an uplifting and relevat comment.
@@danivanutti thank you! I couldn't help but spill my guts after tonights episodes...hit home hard.
I love your story and I hope they do something very similar to your story
I like them I think Aaron will feel for him cx
I'd like them to take things slow and be friends first...
I want them to just stay mates.
I feel like Aaron doesnt have much friends and not just bc theyre both gay they should make it a couple

Milk Sips Simon Lennon (the actor that plays Ben) is straight
tbh I dont see any, they seem kind of flat together
Lass who plays Liv is getting really good

If stl means storyline, he deffo isn't short of them. Even Danny said he can't believe how lucky he is to get so many

@@remruna3538 ah mate I agree w you on that. I thought you meant he gets no storyline which wouldn't be right

Does anyone know the name of the song playing in the background?
First off Aaron, the term is victim, Ben was your victim.
Secondly, I can't help but think Ben's going to make Aaron fall in the water or something when they go Kayaking. Please don't be the case.
Lastly, take it slow Aaron, don't rush and don't be rushed.
Give me back my Robert
RIP robron Hello BeRon
It’s Baron actually the new Dub Shipped name for these two
I don't trust Ben I'm sorry I had to say it 😔😔. Aaron I hope you won't let your guard down on this one
Well, it's not as if Ben doesn't have good reason to fuck over Aaron. That said, I hope it doesn't go down that road, but it is a soap so...

Why does Aaron keep getting put into abusive relationships?
It's happening far too quickly & smoothly , something's not right.
I think Aaron will fall for him and ben will use him and do something horrible to get revenge
likely but along the way to a real romance is what I'm guessing, their chemistry is too good and the new actor is excellent.
I don't think so, he knows Aaron's changed and he knows why he acted the way he did.
