EastEnders has hinted at a possible romance for Tiffany Butcher-Baker and newcomer Aaron Monroe.

Former Hollyoaks star Charlie Wernham has joined the cast as Aaron – the son of new character Harvey, and the brother of Dana.

Aaron will immediately catch Tiffany's eye when he arrives in Walford to reunite with his family.

As Tiffany tries to get Whitney to open up about her situation with Gray, she's interrupted by Aaron who is asking for directions.

At the cab office, Aaron surprises his dad Harvey, much to his delight, but Dana isn't quite as happy to see him.

As father and son catch up at The Vic, Aaron gives Harvey some bad advice and rudely snaps at Dana for not taking their dad's side, upsetting her.

Aaron then sets his sights onto Tiffany – much to a protective Liam's disapproval.

Aaron tells Tiffany that he plans to be in Walford for a bit, but she later tells that Liam it's too soon for her to be dating after Keegan.

Undeterred, Aaron later tells Harvey that he is planning to stay in Walford for a while and he's spotted someone who has caught his eye.

Biting the bullet, Aaron decides to ask Tiffany out for a date and she eventually agrees. But is she really ready to move on from Keegan?

Speaking about Aaron's spark with Tiffany, Charlie said: "Aaron is the sort of person that would enjoy the fact there's an ex on the scene because he's a bit of a wind up and he does things just to get a kick out of it, he's like a bored kid sometimes.

"Tiffany is a great character and Maisie is a brilliant actress so I think it's a good idea to get the two of them flirting, they have a really interesting dynamic. Obviously I'm on Aaron's side and will say they make a good match. I think it's very different from what Keegan and Tiffany had, I think he'll be the underdog!"

EastEnders airs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on BBC One.
