I wish EE hadn't chosen the name Aaron - to me (and I am sure others) there is only one Aaron and he is in ED, but what do other people think of the London version?
I think he looks rather too young to be an incipient gangster, which seems to be what some journalists think he will become, perhaps due to his horrible dad.. It is not the actors fault, but he looks like a young teenager wearing one of his dad's suits, and it is clear he is going to be yet another Cockney geezer pulling the girls. it is just "Robbie Roscoe" now out of school, but still a bully (yes I watched Hollyoaks a few years ago, till the constant murders and explosions got me down). Do they really want (or need) Harvey & Aaron to be another Phil & Ben?
On the name thing why do soaps have to borrow each others characters names when so many names remain unused? - "Aaron" is a somewhat biblical name and neither seem to me to be especially religious or to have come from religious families

In regards Emmerdale Aaron, the vast majority of the Dingles have biblical names so that is not unusual (I know he’s only a Dingle on his mum’s side)
As for EE Aaron having the same name as another soap character, that has been happening for years and there is nothing wrong with that. Why would it be a problem now all of a sudden? As long as people put the name of the soap in their thread title if they want to start a thread about one of them then there will be no confusion
Soaps have used names from within their own show from a past character who had the same name
Emmerdale's Aaron doesn't cry all the time, and hasn't in years and he hasn't been violent in years, either, but thanks for you biased opinion
There is no need to thank me as I am fully entitled to post whatever I like.
I suspect that Aaron (the other one in Emmerdale) probably cries when the camera isn't on him because, let's face it, you don't go from being a big cry baby to Rambo overnight, do you.
I suspect, too, that you do the washing up and sewing in the Mouse household, not to mention the dusting, vacuum cleaning, widow cleaning and gardening, that it's you who creosotes the fence and lives in the shed, rather than Geraldine, that you're fed bread, water & thin gruel, and that you've never been within 100 yards of a saucy minx or sultry temptress. Indeed, I suspect that Geraldine is actually more like Nanny McPhee, that you're sent to bed at 9.30 pm, frequently with a smacked botty, and are raised from your bed with a cold bath at 6 am, to stoke the fires and clean the chimneys.
I thought this thread was about soap characters called Aaron.
You don't deny it then!
I already don't like him and I can't bear the Harvey character. Bad move bringing these characters in. Just should have kept it at Dana.
I dont think its as straight forward as calling Harvey a nasty racist and leaving it there.
I think the way Harvey is bring written is in some ways realistic. There are many people IRL who wouldnt dream of believing they are racist. But dont realise the effect their words and actions can have. Its a very blase attitude and they are not putting themselves in other peoples shoes.
Harvey has made a handful of bad comments and from that some posters on here think that hes going to blow up the square as a terrorist. But there is a huge way to go from making bad comments to murder. Id have to see more intense hatred from Harvey before I belive that to be the case.
Harvey needs to become more self aware about what he is saying and the effects his words have on others. He might think hes a regular good bloke but thats not enough. Aaron is clearly leading him one way while Dana is another.
I watch Neighbours occasionally and there's an Aaron in that too - anyone would think it was a fairly common name (!)
And yes, agreed - I don't think his name being biblical is an issue at all. Lots of biblical names which are just incidentally so as far as the family are concerned. Harvey - and Aaron's mum - may just have liked the name!
Pauline and Arthur weren't religious and one of their sons was called Mark - if that isn't biblical, I don't know what is! Only Jesus registers more so!
Well, Mark is a fairly common name - like Matthew, Luke or John, but names like Aaron have that very old school biblical implication. Mark has stayed in fashion for centuries - names like Aaron have slipped out of fashion, though they seem to be coming back now
Edit - I posted this on reading the first post, only to find that a Mark based discussion had already begun just above. Names come and go.
What on Earth happened here?!
Mo and Geraldine split the domestic work amongst them equally, for your information. Only the other day, he was telling me, that he got her to clean his spark plugs on the car, so he could get her out the way, to prevent her seeing his fondoodling with Manpreet, thereby preventing her from getting upset. Teamwork!
Ah, common sense finally intervenes.
