Totally insightful post. Aaron's behaviour is not about unrequited love for Adam, it is a fear of committing to another relationship when the last one ended so painfully. He also feels obligated to Adam because Adam was there for him when he needed him to be and he completely understands what Adam is going through because he has gone through it himself. Anyone questioning Aaron's feelings for Ed needs to take a look at the expression on his face when Ed says it is over. He is completely gutted.
Yes, FINALLY. ED LET HIM HAVE IT. I am like you are sick of Aaron finding an excuse to pretend like he doesn't care for you & putting all his energy into Adam.
Well in a scene with Edna this summer in 2014 Edna figures out Aaron is IN LOVE with Adam. Aaron liked Ed but he would do ANTHING for Adam the whole France thing was proof that Adam is the man Aaron has always loved.
totally agree..I think their friendship has gone way past mere friendship/romantic stage even if they wanted if to be which they don't.Adam has seen him through some pretty horrific times going right back to when Aaron messed with Carl's brakes ( before chas) wanted anything to do with A. that he wants to be there for his mate the one time that he truly needs him is completely understandable and his feelings for Ed are oh so obvious when he had to text Ed telling him he'd be late
I can't blame Ed for what he said, I mean he's right, he wants to spend time with Aaron and show him how much he care and want him to come along with him to France but all Aaron cares about is Adam and Ed is also right that Adam has other people around him. I seriously think the only reason Aaron is being hesitate is because Adam has been there for him for him during the biggest trials of his life and I guess this is his way of paying him back by finally being there for him, which I can understand but at the same time, he is being kinda selfish to Ed as well.
He wanted to go with Ed but he has more loyalty to Adam because of, like you said, Adam being there for him fro everything. I do feel sorry for Aaron. Everyone is turning against him even when he is doing his best. Adam is the selfish one. He is letting his friend fro it all away because of his mistakes. Aaron "loves" him. (Not loves in that way) and is willing to do that. Tbf I would as well. A boyfriend or girlfriend can be replaced but friendship as strong as theirs can't be very easily. Lol. But I agree.
I was so happy to see Ed finally put Aaron in his place. Aaron has been taking Ed for granted for too long! If Aaron isn't interested, let Ed go because Ed can choose from many other hot guys who will be totally into Ed.
Did any one else see how FINE is in those sweats, and damn he looks like he's packing alright. Aaron you need to run to France with all he has going for him.
Poor Aaron. Without Adam as an excuse, he'll have to face that he's in love again & feels guilty about it. He needs to know that loving Ed is not turning his back on Jackson. He'll always love Jackson & their brief time together, but 50 yrs together would've felt just as brief. Jackson will always be with him & part of who he's become. Jackson's role was to prepare Aaron for the rest of his life. He owes it to Jackson to be happy. Adam, be your dad's son & tell your best friend these things.
channel - jaydawg125 episodes 136 and 147 As I was saying episode 136 Aaron is actually thinking about Adam when he is watching him and Scarlett kiss - not that he wants to be straight and be with a girl. Episode 147 Aaron talks about Kyle and Adam and that he had feelings for Adam, but wasn't in love with Adam. (So he was actually sexually attracted to Adam.) I'm just saying these things because I didn't get it at first and there are some comments on here about their relationship.
There is a scene where Aaron is outside Paddy's house watching Adam and Scarlett walk down the street kissing and I thought he was looking at them because he wished he wasn't gay and he could have that kind of relationship. However, later on Paddy asks Aaron if he liked anyone before and he talks about Kyle and he comments about his feelings for Adam. (I tried to find those clips, but it takes too long. If I find them I will come back and comment on here again.)
I read that interview where he said he's glad he won't have to kiss another bloke,but Danny also said he had no problem with it and talked about the first time he had to kiss on camera.The trolls who don't like Danny's acting or looks sure like to spend their watching him.
You are so right about the trackies lol. ED missed some great chances to show some eye candy for us all by introducing a rugby player. Why no shirtless shots? Why no training/sweating shots or sliding through the mud shots? They could have done so much with Ed. Coupled up with Aaron would have been a much more fitting exit-story for him.
Aaron is torn between Ed and Adam but he is not being honest with himself or Ed.Adam is not just Aaron's friend he has unrequited strong feelings for him. Aaron may like Ed but he does not love him.Aaron is probably afraid of moving to France because his life is in the village. Adam means the world to Aaron too bad the writers never made them a couple.
I belive Aaron and Adam are truly best friends but I also think Aaron is in love with Adam but he knows nothing romantic will ever happend. I also belive that Aaron likes Ed and is attracted to him but I don't think he is in love with him at least not yet. Honestly I think Aaron and Ed have the odds against them they might have some good times for a while but I don't see a Big future for them. Thanks for posting
Bravo Ed all the points you lost you got them back. There is only so much a man can take and you've taken a lot form Aaron way to get your pimp card back lol.
Oh he's interested alright, but like someone mentioned, he's scared, and he still haven't forgiven himself... I am convinced though that he does go to France and that he leaves happy and hopefull for the future. And I really hope he comes back every now and again for an episode or two, Aaron Livesy is the reason I started watching this show and it will not be the same without him (not that that's gonna keep me from watching should someone very kind choose to start uploading the full show again..
I guess it's sort of great that Aaron realizes how he has been treating Ed lately; because if he keeps on making excuses for himself and pushing Ed (just like the times when he's first with Jackson) then he's pretty much going to have a quite miserable life which I don't know why the producers have to make him dealt with that!! But at the same time, no matter how much I like Ed I think he has made a smart decision: Just End it right there and let Aaron makes his moves instead of him!!
Agreed. I like Aaron. But Ed should have moved on a while ago. This is now set up for Aaron to come to his senses with the help of the entire village, and call Ed and ask if the offer is still open...
OMG!!! Ed is just way to hot in those grey sweats WOW!!!! side note, glad Ed stood his ground because he really likes Aaron but it's only so much a person can do if the other person is not showing the interest back and I think Ed just had enough and just going to move on with his life
I don't know if he is or isn't I don't know him personally. I just don't like that word being put out there lightly because it makes some people shut down, dont want to anything else. This also not to take a way from what anyone feels. This is a chance for us to enlighten this person.
I wish Adam and Aaron had a scene where Aaron can admit to him that he loves him. Aaron liked Ed but I disagree that he loves him because he does not know him.Adam was the guy that Aaron loves too bad it is unrequited. I wish Adam was bisexual and then maybe he and Aaron could have a future together.
I don't even begin to understand this comment. I went to University in Yorkshire and met locals of all creeds and colours so the assumption that Ed must be from out of nowhere is nonsense. And in what sense would a white love interest be better? Would it make him a better person? Be a better match for Aaron, because heaven forbid he could have anything in common with a black guy. One good thing is that no one else posting here shares your views. That should tell you something very important.
Why exactly would a white love interest be a better choice? Also, both Jackson and Flynn were random characters who had not appeared on Emmerdale before they became Aaron's love interest. So, what's your point?
I'm black and I am confused by what you mean by 'true racism.' Racism is racism no matter whether it is expressed in words or deed. No one should ever delude themselves into thinking that one is less important than the other because they spring from the same sources - intolerance and hate. The person who made the comment that these posts relate to needs to understand that their viewpoint was indeed racist, that it is unacceptable and that they need to work on changing it.
I find Danny lacking any chemistry with Ed or even Jackson in a "romantic loving" way. There is more with Adam and that is what is so confusing. Maybe it is played that way but scenes with Ed are flat and i see not even a "one night stand" attachment. Did they sleep together? maybe as brothers would - that is the way they are treating each other IMO. Danny needs a love life to bring this one to life.
Now that is a good question but i m sure he's not going to care because adam doesn't look black. By the way all I want everyone here to be aware of is, that if you use the word racist to lightly. It can have a more negative affect then his statement.
weren't you complaining that it made no sense for aaron to be grieving for such along time,that a 20 yr old didn't behave like that.now that aaron is with a guy you're complaining cuz he's not white.dude you are not dealing with a full deck.
Ed is so fine...how anyone can play around with his emotions is beyond me. Ed can get any guy he wanted....why wait around for Aaron?? Just go to France and find a hot French guy to.....better stop myself.
that's it???!!!! I want some more...pleaaaaaaaaaasssssssse the end will coming soon...It's not enough...Aaron, please go with Ed, he's into you, don't you see that??I know you love adam, but he's not for you, he is just your best mate..Wake up!!!
I find it odd that the Emmerdale producers picked a black guy to be Aaron's love interest when the dales is predominately white. A white love interest from the Dales would be a better choice than some random black guy from out of nowhere.
This comment also goes to jordanjamesx...you need to just go somewhere with your racist comment...no one really cares what you think. Ed is so much hotter and personable than any white guy they've had on this show. That random Black guy is going places, but aaron is not! I'm glad that they're representing different races on this show!
Ok I am a black male and what he said was sad but to say that it was racist, Minimizes true racism. I've seen true racism and its nothing to take lightly. Also jordanjamesx love is random, you never know where or when you may find it.
Wow this time the usual troll got finally told by everybody. Now racism? It was being too much but now these trolls totally lost the plot. True colors always come to the surface
I don't want to defend his statement, I don't agree with it. I also be leave that he has a close mind. But if Ed was fat, bald, or had some going on with him that some of us may not like in a mate. Would there be this much out rage. But please do not take this as I agree with him or defending him. Just because he may not be attracted to black men doesn't make him a racist.
Could someone PLEASE send me a "random black guy" like Ed. Or... 2 scoops of random white guys like Jackson or Flynn. Just please make them predominately... "gay". Adam/types (pretty/straight) give me hives.

All that sounded so good! I felt happy only by reading it :) Go Aaron. I wish everybody could get something like that
Yes, FINALLY. ED LET HIM HAVE IT. I am like you are sick of Aaron finding an excuse to pretend like he doesn't care for you & putting all his energy into Adam.
Well in a scene with Edna this summer in 2014 Edna figures out Aaron is IN LOVE with Adam. Aaron liked Ed but he would do ANTHING for Adam the whole France thing was proof that Adam is the man Aaron has always loved.
Andrew....I liked that storyline with Edna and Aaron last summer as well,
Looking back that was a very weird scene considering him supposedly being in love with Adam never came up again or led to anything.
ty much for uploads hun!
thanks for the post.
I know me too! :( I totally get how Aaron could feel torn between his best mate and the bloke he likes.
totally agree..I think their friendship has gone way past mere friendship/romantic stage even if they wanted if to be which they don't.Adam has seen him through some pretty horrific times going right back to when Aaron messed with Carl's brakes ( before chas) wanted anything to do with A. that he wants to be there for his mate the one time that he truly needs him is completely understandable and his feelings for Ed are oh so obvious when he had to text Ed telling him he'd be late
Interesting how all the farm hands just walk into the main house whenever they want to. lol.
LOVE HAS NO COLOR IT IS THE BEST GIFT FROM GOD.
you ROCK... and roll!!!
What was the last thing Ed said on the bus. Something about worth it.
They are both good actors and both beautiful .Will miss them .
have to agree with you since ed showed up this is the first reference to his race i've seen and with that certain tone
About time!
Hope Aaron can finally open his eyes
I can't blame Ed for what he said, I mean he's right, he wants to spend time with Aaron and show him how much he care and want him to come along with him to France but all Aaron cares about is Adam and Ed is also right that Adam has other people around him.

(Not loves in that way) and is willing to do that. Tbf I would as well. A boyfriend or girlfriend can be replaced but friendship as strong as theirs can't be very easily. Lol. But I agree.
I don't think anyone in their right mind would blame Ed. Aaron's brought this on himself.
I don't blame Ed!
I was so happy to see Ed finally put Aaron in his place. Aaron has been taking Ed for granted for too long! If Aaron isn't interested, let Ed go because Ed can choose from many other hot guys who will be totally into Ed.
I agree when you love someone just set them free
Did any one else see how FINE is in those sweats, and damn he looks like he's packing alright. Aaron you need to run to France with all he has going for him.
Aaron is so pale. If he wore a white shirt, his face would disappear. He needs some sun.
I hate Ed , watching this in 2020 and Gah what an ass, in this era of Emmerdale , Cain looks like a sweetheart compared to him !!!!!!
Poor Aaron. Without Adam as an excuse, he'll have to face that he's in love again & feels guilty about it. He needs to know that loving Ed is not turning his back on Jackson. He'll always love Jackson & their brief time together, but 50 yrs together would've felt just as brief. Jackson will always be with him & part of who he's become. Jackson's role was to prepare Aaron for the rest of his life. He owes it to Jackson to be happy. Adam, be your dad's son & tell your best friend these things.
I was typing to fast what wanted to say was they don't want to hear anything else . And I don't want to belittle or take away from how others my feel.

Its a wonder there isn't more liver issues all the beer they seem to drink.
oh .. you naughty person .. how the heck did you notice that .. hehehe
I'm sorry, but Aaron deserved that...
There are a bunch of Indian characters in Emmerdale and what colour do you think they are?? Green is it?
There is a scene where Aaron is outside Paddy's house watching Adam and Scarlett walk down the street kissing and I thought he was looking at them because he wished he wasn't gay and he could have that kind of relationship.

Right on - I'm what used to be called a "mulatto" - by today's terms a half-breed and it still hurts. So thumbs up to your comment. :)
ROFLMAO - I haven't heard "Negro, PLEEZ" in ages. Good show! - 5 thumbs up!
I read that interview where he said he's glad he won't have to kiss another bloke,but Danny also said he had no problem with it and talked about the first time he had to kiss on camera.The trolls who don't like Danny's acting or looks sure like to spend their watching him.
this comment goes to jordanjamesx, what is your issue? Two comments with the same tone.

I'm getting a feeling that they're gonna do that cheesy airport scene....we all know which one ;)

PlatypusRising55 clear and astute statement, have to totally agree, point take nothing more I can say.

Aaron isn't a very good friend....poor Ed.

Ed is acting like a child! He needs to get over himself!
Why exactly would a white love interest be a better choice? Also, both Jackson and Flynn were random characters who had not appeared on Emmerdale before they became Aaron's love interest. So, what's your point?

I kind of understand Aaron.... But i hate how he treats ed! I hate that he does not allow him self being selfish
AIN'T NOTHING COMING BETWEEN ME AND MY MISTER GO GET HIM ARRON.
You know I would atleast care if Ed knew Aaron for a while, but I find it is completely rushed and half assed.
Now that is a good question but i m sure he's not going to care because adam doesn't look black. By the way all I want everyone here to be aware of is, that if you use the word racist to lightly. It can have a more negative affect then his statement.

Sweet baby Jaysus!!! smiley Ed is HOTT.Seriously annoyed Ed is of the scale Gorgeous *fans self*
Ed is definitely packing. That glimpse of his sweatpant as he is about to leave gives a great view. Nice
I find it odd that the Emmerdale producers picked a black guy to be Aaron's love interest when the dales is predominately white. A white love interest from the Dales would be a better choice than some random black guy from out of nowhere.
Oh god, pleeeeeeease let them kiss and make out (oh, I mean, make up) tomorrow.
Sighting 3:39

Am i the only one who don't like Ed an is watching this in 2019?
I dont either hes always rude to Aaron , even being nice to him. Ed didnt deserve Aaron
Ok I am a black male and what he said was sad but to say that it was racist, Minimizes true racism. I've seen true racism and its nothing to take lightly. Also jordanjamesx love is random, you never know where or when you may find it.

can't stand Ed and his selfish self. yeah push aside years of friendship for a 2 week pseudo relationship.
@Kate B. You must have no friends who would do anything for you.
All this collusion...
Could someone PLEASE send me a "random black guy" like Ed. Or... 2 scoops of random white guys like Jackson or Flynn. Just please make them predominately... "gay". Adam/types (pretty/straight) give me hives.
This is 2012. Hope you are not a young and/or gay person with such racist views in 2012.
