Emmerdale star Danny Miller on Aaron’s desperation to punish Anthony: ‘The motive is there in plain sight’
Danny believes Aaron has plenty of reasons for wanting Anthony dead
Emmerdale cast member Danny Miller has opened up about why Aaron could be driven to murder as Anthony is killed in the show.
Aaron Dingle has suffered a lot over the years. Now it seems his past is catching up with him. And the thought of anyone suffering the same abuse he did as a child is too much for him to bear.
Emmerdale cast member Danny Miller has revealed just what Aaron’s motives would be for killing Anthony, and whether he thinks Aaron is actually capable of murder.
Emmerdale cast star Danny Miller on Aaron’s realisation
Back in 2016, Emmerdale embarked on a heartbreaking storyline for fan-favourite Aaron when they brought his dad back. After keeping it in for so long, Aaron finally confided in Robert Sugden about the sexual abuse he faced growing up.
What followed was a long and emotional journey where Aaron, with the support of the rest of his family, faced his disgusting dad in court. And thankfully, Gordon got sent down. But, his time in prison wasn’t long, as he ended up taking his own life shortly after the sentencing. Leaving Aaron with even more emotions to deal with.
Now, as Aaron has just realised the truth of what’s happened between Ruby and vile Anthony, he sees red. And wants to get revenge.
Danny Miller explained that while Aaron wasn’t aware of the situation before now, he has ‘always been wary of Anthony.’ And that could be down to ‘an instinct from experience.’
When Aaron spotted the altercation between Ruby and Anthony, he knew deep down what was going on.
Danny added: “He knows the difference of scared looks from his experience. And that’s exactly what he sees in Ruby – he sees himself.”
Could Aaron kill Anthony?
As soon as Aaron realises, Danny explains he is ‘instantly aggressive and destined for revenge.’ Not only does he see it as a chance to defend Ruby, but it’s also ‘his chance to level with Gordon. Who took the ‘coward’s way out’ as Aaron calls it.’
The revelation obviously brings back horrific times for Aaron, and Danny knows his character would worry about how to cope.
He said: “It’s pure disgust and dread as to how he’ll deal with this. And it brings back so many evil and dark memories for Aaron that he had suppressed for many years.”
We know Anthony ends up dead, so could Aaron kill him? Danny seems to think there’s plenty of reasons why he would.
“Having experienced the same abuse and disgusting acts, he never got the justice he deserved or that Gordon deserved. The motive is there in plain sight,” Danny commented.
