Tess' surname is listed as Harris

[Perdita]

Not every woman takes on her husband´s surname upon marriage

I don't remember the previous Gordon

The character was only in ED for 10 episodes
between 2003-2008.
Aaron was living with Gordon & his second wife
Sandra and main reason.for Gordon to appear
was to bring Aaron to visit Chas.

That was until 2008 when after Aaron.had hit
Sandra in an argument - Gordon brought him
back again to Chas more permanently.

Not really noteworthy but seemed pleasant
enough. I do remember thinking at the time
it was quite unusual for a father to have
custody?!

So the SWs have got a fairly blank slate
to write the character on- without a lot
of retcons?

Baby son Aaron Livesy was born by Chas Livesy in 1992. Chas appears first in Emmerdale on 16 October 2002 dressed as a nun for her cousin Marlon's (Mark Charnock) stag night. She is hired by her father, Shadrach Dingle (Andy Devine), and ends the evening locked in the back of a van with Ashley Thomas (John Middleton). She moves in with the Dingles and gets a job as barmaid at The Woolpack. Chas already has a son by her ex-husband Gordon, to whom she allowed custody. However, Gordon Livesy visits Emmerdale in 2003, 2004 and 2006 when he drops off Aaron to spend time with Chas. Aaron hated his mother Chas, feeling that she had abandoned him at a young age. Aaron rejected Chas' attempts to make amends for this and after he deliberately told her about Carl and Delilah's fling, she ceased contact in order for Gordon, Aaron and his new wife, Sandra, to become a proper family. When Louise Appleton later tells Gordon that she saw Chas hit Aaron during the 2006 visit, Gordon is angry and tells Chas that he will stop her having access to Aaron. [See 2006 videos from The Dingles and Aaron Livesy's third return (Part 1)]

Gordon Livesy next appears in 2008 when Aaron is arrested after becoming a drug mule for a local crime family, the McFarlanes. Chas goes to the police station and later visits Gordon to find out what had been going on. Gordon tells her that he had thrown Aaron out of his house after he hit Sandra (Janet Bamford), Gordon's second wife, with whom he has a child. Aaron later asks to go back to his father's house but Gordon says they need a break from him and insists he stay with Chas. Later that night, Aaron vandalises Gordon's office, although he cannot prove it. This is last contact between Aaron and Gordon. [See 2008 videos of this storyline beginning with Aaron's Story 2008 part 01]

Gordon Livesy, acted by Gary Mavers, will return to Emmerdale in December 2015. Daniel Kilkelly of Digital Spy reported on 07/11/15 that Gordon's return would allow the show "to delve back into the past of Chas and Aaron, with a busy few months ahead for both of them."

I often woindered about Chas' and Gordons relationship. She was only 14 when she had Aaron - and still she was married at that age (is it even legal to marry at that age)? And Gordon must've been quite a bit older than her. Doesn't this count as child abuse?

I doubt they'll ever adress this but it always confused my.
