Since getting back together and married to his soulmate Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley), Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) has largely been in control of his demons and has been looking forward to a future with a family unit around him in Emmerdale.
But all of that is about to be ripped away from him when the death of Lee Posner means that Robert has to leave the village one way or another. Whether he escapes and goes on the run or ends up enduring a lengthy prison spell remains to be seen but either way, everything that they have fought to build up over the years is cruelly shattered.
Inevitably, this leaves Aaron in a very dark and vulnerable place. With a history of aggression, depression and self harm, the popular character will hit self destruct and return to his old ways – getting himself into serious trouble.
Worrying the likes of mum Chas (Lucy Pargeter) and sister Liv (Isobel Steele), is there any way back for Aaron as he heads over the edge?
Speaking to Inside Soap, Emmerdale’s producer Kate Brooks revealed: ‘When a big character like Robert exits, there is huge story potential in terms of kicking off the next chapter for Aaron.
‘Robert leaving is going to hit him hard. He is the love of Aaron’s life whom he adored, and has kept Aaron anchored and on the straight and narrow. So when the rug is pulled from underneath his feet, it really affects Aaron and it makes him behave in ways that he wouldn’t normally.’
She added: ‘I think we’re going to see the Aaron of old, before Robert came along and straightened him out. We have loads of great stuff for Danny and Isobel, as they try to navigate their world without Robert in it.’
