In Emmerdale Aaron continues to struggle after Anthony’s death, but fans are calling for a different route for his storyline.
With April having been found, many viewers want her friend, Dylan, to be a permanent character. And they even know who could take him in. Aaron.
In last night’s episode (February 6), Dylan was standing in the hospital corridor watching April reunite with Marlon and Rhona. And something tells us this won’t be the last we have seen from him. And with fans calling for more storylines for Aaron, could this be a new pairing in the Dales?

Emmerdale Aaron to take in Dylan?
In Emmerdale Aaron has always been someone people can turn to. And he has a history of taking people in to help them.
He, himself was taken in by Paddy when he was younger. And then when Liv came back into his life, he was quick to let her move in with him.
Not just that, but he even let Gerry move in with them when he had nowhere else to go. And he turned into a mentor style figure for the young boy before his death.
Having a family around is something that evidently means a lot to Aaron. And when Robert went to prison and Rebecca took Seb to go live with her, Aaron was gutted. Then to make matters worse, he lost his sister. So could Aaron be ready to take on the parental figure role once again? Fans think so.
Taking to a Reddit thread, fans discussed why Aaron would be the perfect candidate for taking Dylan in.
One wrote: “He [Dylan] could come in and be fostered by Aaron. It would give a nice continuation of his own relationship with Paddy. And it would give Aaron something interesting to do. He would be able to understand him more since he had such a [bleep] childhood himself. Personally, I think Aaron would be a great ‘dad.’”
Another backed up the idea, adding: “I agree. Emmerdale is in need of more teens. And Aaron needs a good story. I think it would be cool to see how he would handle raising a teen.”

Fans want Dylan and Aaron friendship
A third pointed out that even if Aaron doesn’t foster him, there is still a great chance of the pair forming a bond. As the Dingle could help him in other ways.
They wrote: “If Aaron doesn’t foster him then he can still give him a job at the scrapyard. He could have some kind of big brother / mentor role.”
However, another fan pointed out that they can see another Dingle couple taking him in.
The user penned: “I think Lydia and Sam should foster him. With Samson and Esther gone, it would give them a little more purpose. He seems like a good kid, so he wouldn’t really be a problem other than having trouble building trust with others.”
Either way, it’s clear that Dylan would fit in with a lot of characters in the village. And fans are very eager for him to stay. Especially as April could do with a solid friend in her life at the minute.
