Emmerdale's Aaron will 'share in hatred' of husband John as dark storyline moves forward
Aaron will finally start to see through his killer husband's lies.
Next week on Emmerdale is set to be a big one, as Aaron Dingle finally starts to see through his killer husband John Sugden's lies.
John has been on a reign of terror over the past few months on the soap, including, earlier this year, killing Nate Robinson, and orchestrating near-death experiences for several characters, just so that he could play the hero.
Most recently, it was revealed that he has been keeping Mackenzie Boyd captive, after fans had worried that the character had been killed.
All this time, Aaron has been oblivious to his husband's true nature, but next week, he will start to grow suspicious, so John will decide to drug him to keep him under control.
As reported by Digital Spy, Aaron star Danny Miller has said that "it's time" for his character to start to find out the truth, "because a lot of people stop me in the streets and say things like, 'how are you not spotting the signs?' like I can't spot the signs".
He continued: "But I think love is blind, is what I've played for the last six months of watching John crumble under all this spotlight and pressure, and Aaron's just kind of going, 'I don't know what you mean, he's great! I love him!'
"So, it's nice that Aaron can finally become one of the viewers, or that of an opinion of the viewers. They get to share in this hatred of John, which is just so strange to say because [John actor] Oliver Farnworth is the nicest man I've ever met and I don't say that lightly! I just love him. He's just been great."

It has been reported that Farnworth will be departing from the soap imminently, and as both Aaron and Robert are starting to get closer to uncovering the truth, the net seems to be tightening around the character.
