Emmerdale fans react towards Aaron Dingle's vile taunts to Paddy as he struggles with mental health issues

Emmerdale fans have been left shocked as Friday night's episode unfolded.

Emmerdale actor Danny Miller has admitted he never would have made his surprise return to the ITV soap earlier this month if it wasn't for his wife Steph. The 32-year-old quit playing Aaron Dingle in 2021 and in the two years since, he and Steph have got married and welcomed two children; son Albert, two, and daughter Edith, who was born in August. Danny also enjoyed a stint in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! castle when Albert was just weeks old, and emerged from the show as the winner.

It's been just weeks since Danny Miller made his return as Emmerdale's Aaron Dingle, but his character has wasted no time in making his presence felt in the village. Aaron's shock return came as part of the annual Super Soap Week and bosses managed to keep the scenes a total secret until they aired on ITV. Danny, 32, has now shared his joy at returning to the Dales and revealed to OK! that his character won't be taking any prisoners.

Emmerdale fans have decided they 'know' who killed Craig Reed - and it's not one of the Dingles. A major new 'whodunnit' kicked off in the Dales on Monday night (October 30) after Craig's lifeless body was seen sprawled out in a field at the end of last week.

On Tuesday, October 24, she rang into work for Tom and said he wouldn't be coming in, only for her boyfriend to explode at her.Though Vinny Dingle warned Belle people deal with grief in different ways, fans on social media are worried the clues are pointing to something more sinister.

Emmerdale star Isabel Hodgins has had her fair share of dramatic storylines since she joined the ITV soap in 2006 as Victoria Sugden. From accidentally hitting the late Vicar Ashley Thomas with her car to losing her true love and enduring a traumatic assault. While she's faced many challenges it looks like love is on the horizon for Victoria as she grows closer to Jacob Gallagher after it becomes obvious that they both have feelings for each other.

In the last couple of years, studies have shown that the state of mental health for LGBTQ youth is tumultuous. The Human Rights Campaign earlier in 2023 declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ Americans, and the rights and mere existence of queer and trans youth have been the basis of many legislative and educational discussions of late.

Emmerdale favourite Samantha Giles has announced she will be leaving the ITV soap later this year. The actress, who plays Bernice Blackstock, made her first appearance in Emmerdale over 25 years ago, but has confirmed she's now departing the soap for good.

Emmerdale viewers were excited in tonight's episode, 18 October, as resident bad boy Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) finally got involved in Lydia Dingle's rape storyline at the hands of evil Craig Reed. Sam Dingle (James Hooton) continued to struggle with how best to proceed in the aftermath of discovering what had happened to his beloved wife Lydia, becoming upset during a routine visit to Home Farm. Realising that Sam needed the help of his family, Will called on Cain and told him to come and speak to his brother.

Emmerdale viewers have slammed the return of a former show favourite, accusing the soap's bosses of giving him a "personality transplant" and saying "why bring him back?". Last week's episodes saw Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) unveiled as the mystery man being held hostage in an abandoned farmhouse by Cain and Caleb in Emmerdale last week.

Emmerdale star Rachael Gill-Davis is delighted to have - sort of - ticked off one of her bucket list items upon her return to the fictional Yorkshire village. The actress reprised the role of Gail Loman in the ITV soap earlier this year after first appearing in the role back in 2019.

When Emmerdale newcomer Gail Loman arrived, fan theories about her backstory flourished online. First it was rumoured that she was Zoe Tate’s secret daughter, then fans feared that Gail had an evil plot to infiltrate the Dingles by getting a job in the Woolpack. While her character was getting a grilling in online forums, actress Rachael Gill-Davis was enjoying the speculation which began since she first arrived in the Dales back in May.

Emmerdale fans think they know who will end up helping Lydia Dingle bring Craig Reed down after he denied raping her during a confrontation at his office. Viewers have been left heartbroken for Lydia after she hid what had happened to her at the hands of her childhood acquaintance.
