Emmerdale fans have been left convinced that Aaron Dingle could be set to get a shock storyline twist with a secret love child
Emmerdale‘s Aaron Dingle, played by Danny Miller, might be heading towards a surprising love child plot twist, according to soap fans.
Since his first appearance in the Dales back in 2008, Aaron has quickly become one of the show’s most cherished characters. He’s been at the centre of numerous major storylines, from affairs and his romance with Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) to stints in prison.
Recently, the drama escalated when Aaron, haunted by his own past abuse, violently attacked paedophile Anthony Fox (Nicholas Day), leaving him dead.
Believing he was responsible for the death, Aaron confided in his boyfriend John Sugden (Oliver Fainworth), who helped him cover up the crime. However, it was later revealed that Anthony’s estranged daughter Ruby (Beth Cordingly) was the actual killer, much to Aaron’s relief.
Now, fans are speculating about a potential paternity twist for Aaron, suggesting he may have a secret love child from his past – and this child could be a familiar face to viewers. On an Emmerdale fan page on Facebook, there’s been a whirlwind of speculation about the soap’s recent addition, Dylan (played by Fred Kettle).
Following his introduction as April Windsor’s (Amelia Flanagan) erstwhile homeless friend who had vanished for some time, viewers are buzzing with theories that he might be connected to the Dales in a significant way – possibly being Aaron’s secret son, reports Leicestershire Live.
One viewer speculated: “I’ve been thinking the soap could easily retcon a few things and introduce someone as Aaron’s long-lost kid. I’m surprised they haven’t done it before.”
The soap enthusiasts are nodding in agreement, with another adding: “You’re right they could. It would definitely be interesting! He’s been with women before.” Another piped up with: “I thought maybe the homeless lad April was hanging out with?” A fourth contributed to the excitement: “Oh yes Dylan! You might be onto something.”
