Emmerdale to reintroduce Aaron Livesy's father Gordon as Gary Mavers takes over the role

Can Gordon get back in his family's good books?
By Daniel Kilkelly


Gary Mavers will be Gordon Livesy, Aaron Livesy's father

Emmerdale landlady Chas Dingle will get a blast from the past next month, as her ex-husband Gordon Livesy returns to the village.

Former Peak Practice actor Gary Mavers has been cast in the role of Gordon, who will reappear on our screens in early December.

Gordon is the father of Chas's son Aaron, but he's been out of the picture in recent years.

Aaron harbours a lot of resentment towards his dad, so it's bound to be an explosive reunion when father and son come face-to-face again.

Fans may also be curious to find out how Gordon's return affects Chas, who's endured a difficult few weeks in the village following Robert Sugden's shooting.

Chas is currently under the mistaken belief that she has a stalker after she repeatedly caused damage at The Woolpack while sleepwalking. Could Gordon's presence improve things for Chas, or will he only make things a whole lot worse?

Gordon was previously played by actor Gerard Fletcher in a handful of brief appearances between 2003 and 2008.

Bringing the character back to Emmerdale will now allow the ITV soap to delve back into the past of Chas and Aaron, with a busy few months ahead for both of them.

Speaking in September, Emmerdale's producer Kate Oates teased: "We have a big storyline coming up in the New Year for Aaron and Chas which will be a new subject for Emmerdale, so I'm looking forward to that."

Liverpudlian actor Mavers is best known for playing Dr Andrew Attwood in Peak Practice. His other TV credits include the role of DI Will Manning in Casualty.

I'm really pleased by the return of Gordon, good casting too & delighted Aaron is going to be having a story line separate from Robert it's been a while, and looking forward to learning of his and Chas' past and why Aaron had so much resentment toward him when he moved back to the village when Danny Miller took over the role all very intriguing indeed as will Paddy's reaction and the rest of the Dingles.

Not seen tess's surname anywhere so it could very well be livesy married to gordon livesy!!

[maidmarian]

could he be tess husband

Gordon was married to Sandra -after Chas-
They had a child in 2006. Aaron was living
with them in 2008 when he had an argument
with Sandra and gave her a black eye. So
Gordon sent him back to Chas to live with
her!
I supposed theres been time for divorce
and remarriage since then!

look forward to seeing what brings him back. A lot to explore there.
