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 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.
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.
