ANGRY AARON
In Emmerdale this week, Liam desperately tries to cover the truth of Aaron’s real result in the gene test in the face of Chas’ probing questions.
But as he hurriedly exits, Chas is deeply concerned as to what he’s implied.
And when Chas asks Aaron a direct question about the gene test, he betrays the truth through the briefest glance.
Aaron, meanwhile, goes straight to anger and denial as he struggles to process his emotions now that his mum knows the truth.
And he makes clear to Liam that he’s crossed a line...
The next day, when Chas asks a visibly injured Liam if Aaron’s fists are to blame, Liam can’t help but acquiesce with her surmising.
But he desperately persuades Chas to stop from immediately confronting Aaron and to take a different tack as a tender moment between Liam and Chas is witnessed by Ella.
Chas’ sensitive approach starts to break through Aaron’s barriers until he eventually confesses that the gene test result feels like a death sentence.
And when Aaron is able to open up about his fears to Chas, they both know he’s made a massive step forward as Paddy reminds him he’ll always be there for him
