Gordon Livesy (Gary Mavers)

I really want the writers to stop treating Aaron as a boy and start treating him like a man. It seems odd to me this storyline so what if Gordon and Chas get together? If Aaron was 16 or something i could see him being upset and all. But i think the actor Danny Miller is turning 25 in January. I am not sure how old Aaron is on the show?Aaron is in his 20s shouldn't he start to have a life of his own separate from Chas? The writing of Aaron is weird look at Adam sure he is Moira son but he married Victoria and moved out. Why is Aaron still living at the pub? The writers I am hoping finally make Aaron independent he needs his own space and his own place. I just hope the writers do not infantalize Aaron they have done it too long. The writers need to mature Aaron and make him grow from a boy to a man. The crime stuff I hope Chas does throw Aaron out but I doubt she will. Aaron getting into trouble with the law is a broken record. Are the writers going to keep him being a thug or is he ever going to grow up?

A lot of young people stay in their parents home
well past the age they would have left a generation
or two ago. Quite a few are in their 30s.
Previously they would have left home to marry
get a flat //flat share/ move to another town
for a job.
Some do move if they go to uni in a another
town but a lot now go to uni near home.

many theories why -but mainly ecomonics.

Re Adam -it might be a marriage to Vic-
but just seems like change of carer to me.
Im sure he go back to Mum - if marriage
broke up.

it is true more and more people live with their parents well into their 30's maybe longer as they cannot afford property of their own

Victoria was very lucky to be able to strike a deal with Betty to purchase the house, and yes Adam needs a carer - can you imagine him in a 'lads' house at all???

that all said where is Andy living now?

he was the tenant of the house that Finn and Emma have taken over?

I think Ross is now the tenant, meaning when he splits with Debbie he can go back and kick Pete out.

This maybe true BUT I would like to see Aaron develop a support system beyond this mother. I find it highly uinrealistic a 20 something gay man has NO GAY FRIENDS. And that' s the part of the story that is dumb, someone Aaron's age would have a gay friend or two. I wish the writers would make Aaron and Finn pals or at least more friendly with each other. They are around the same age, both gay and live in a small village. But constantly putting Chas into Aaron storylines or vice versa is annoying now. Aaron needs to develop his own identity the writers make him seem like he is 12 years old instead of viewing Aaron as an adult. Big deal with Gordon and Chas get together the writers need to find a way to make Aaron be his OWN MAN.

Somsone in the real world Aaron's age living close to a big city like Leeds would probably be more immersed into the gay scene. So why has there not been more visits to Bar West or other gay bars. No bathhouse scenes? Come on Emmerdale! And that' s the part of the story that is dumb, someone Aaron's age would have a gay friend or two.

I can see what you're saying & I agree largely but soaps do tend to keep people's friendships within the village & rarely go beyond that, I would of liked to of seen Finn/Aaron become friends or al least have Aaron have more friends and a bigger support network other than Chas/Paddy/Adam, but Aaron is close now to his mum after being estranged from her for many years & he feels the need to look after her as much as anything else hence him feeling desperate to get the pub for her etc..

This storyline with Gordon is supposed to explain why Chas & Aaron are the people they are so maybe there is a reason for these things that have yet to be explained.

i think gordon will have an affair with diane bond over their cancers so cheat on chas
