(241) Aaron & Jackson - 12th November 2010

[@ryanje8147]

Jackson: "I'm sick of it !! I'm sick of it already and it's only just started !!" Very powerful line.

[@bigbangsbabiesbts8278]

Everytime I watch this scence, I can't stop crying. The acting is amazing by both actors.

[@were-all-human9427]

100% agree - I just don't get why writers write Aaron out for a few weeks, over and over again... so many fans must drop Emmerdale and never come back - ive done this many times - he holds this soap together.Also don't get why Jackson, Marc Silcock, doesn't seem to get much acting work - have scouts never seen this storyline- they must be mad - he was great in Privates - Emmerdale BRING Marc back, doesn't have to be with Aaron (hey Dallas did it)

[@JackieSwain-z6u]

Marc Silcock is a great actor. Bring him back. Please

[@louisemacallister6561]

My heart broke for Aaron and Jackson in this scene. Everything that happened just ripped them apart and it's tragic to watch.

[@ladybirdellis]

OMG!!! American gay story lines are pathetic compared to Emmerdale and other European soaps. Love the great acting and wonderful realistic drama. Bravo.

[@samanthapetrelli]

Marc is a magnificent actor!!! Broke my heart again today.

[@Suvitar234]

I had to watch this twice before even reading any of the comments. And I dare say I´ll be watching some more times during the weekend while waiting for happier episodes which I´m sure we´ll have. Aaron and Jackson got me crying again. This is so well done and very realistic.

[@ryanje8147]

Sad story line obviously but it was kind of funny around :36 when Cain made that big sigh after Chaz asked him to talk to Aaron.

[@Sarimar]

This is the episode we saw in Finland tonight and it just broke my heart into little pieces. I've watched the whole storyline and there's a part of me that wants to stop watching the whole show because of what is going to happen. But then there's another part of me that wants to keep watching because oh my god, Danny and Mark are so talented and brilliant.

[@johndobson8075]

agree, and I live in uk ! only watched this on utube for this storyline, very powerful. have stopped/started many times, is very gripping. Nothing like "Days of our Lives" from USA, or Chrolli (German) or Elias Story (Europe) etc all have their part to play, but this on Emm is best Ive seen. ITV should though have kept Marc long term with Aaron (Danny) and given them a (+) LGBT story - be a leader in prime time - missed opportunity

[@smallwonder21]

I am in love with Jackson.he is really a great actor.he deserves some Awards for his performance.

[@darquenite]

I have never seen this storyline before this video...but I literally almost cried.

[@sammrrik]

This is simply heart-wrenching... I recently came across this storyline just two days back and I just have to say this is the best gay plot that I have seen so far... I was in tears... Danny is just a brilliant actor... His expressions are just bang on...!!!... The relationships that Aaron shares with everyone has been beautifully portrayed... But I wish they had taken different turn with Aaron-Jackson's story iine... It breaks my heart to see Jackson and even Aaron like this...

[@pilskadden]

i think this is one of the best A+J episodes so far - well maybe except for 220 and 221. So well written and so full of emotions, it leaves me speechless every time.

[@steluvjamie]

Jackson's words were like daggers to the heart. If only Aaron could realise what he feels for Jackson is actually love.

[@MavenCree]

Do you want me to start singing? LMAO!

[@sammrrik]

Keep up the good work Danny, Marc, Pauline and Dominic... You are are shining stars... And kudos to Emmerdale for such an amazing story....!!!

[@yournewsecretcrush]

The writing is amazing! I'm stunned. I cried more than I did on the last clip. So sad for both of them. I can't imagine what Jackson is suffering through. Unbearable obviously. I feel so bad for Aaron ... something said to me like that would almost kill me. I'm sure he feels bad enough. I do think Aaron loves Jackson, but he's scared. He's scared to say words which he has probably NEVER said to ANYONE in his life. Rejection, realistic or not, can cripple someone from admitting love.

[@sammrrik]

Need to thank Emmerdate, their writes and all the actors involved in this storyline because this has been one of best storie's that I have seen so far... Its really heart-breaking and can actually break anyone in tears... The story is so intense that it just makes you think about life really deeply and makes you ponder of what would you have done and how would you have reacted if you were in either Aaron-Jackson's shoes... Credit for this brilliant plot goes to the entire team... Just Amazing...

[@MajorAlenko]

Jacksons just trying to push Aaron away, which he has done. you can tell he loves him thats why his doing it.

[@TheWinglessFlight]

"I thought that was just something we did in public to look cool." "We are cool." Paddy and Marlon. Need I say more?

[@teogarno]

This seriously made me cry. And I'm not one to do it easily.

[@pump066]

OMG this is no ordinary soap stuff, and these guys then and the mum, some fantastic acting.Only british television can produce this level of theater in an everyday drama.Hope these two will make a film together someday, you do not see interaction like this very often.Bravo

[@pandorlla]

Poor Jackson, a person can put up with a lot when they think it's just temporary, but when faced with the rest of your life you can't convince yourself that if you can just get through it everything will be fine again.

[@Hahuh09]

"EVERY INSTINCT IN MY BODY WAS TELLING ME TO RUN A MILE MY FRIENDS SAID I WAS MAD.... BUT I WANTED YOU SO BADLY" god jackson you are breaking my heart right now i know everyone loves danny (so do I) but lets give Marc some credit....he is so amazing

[@XxEmilexX]

awwwww!!!!!!! This is such a good storyline!

[@jelj1961]

the pain that both aaron and jackson feel at this moment to papable. my heart is ripping apart for them both.

[@b4804514]

Well it does not get any better than this love hate stuff- excellent job writers and actors. It was painful but necessary to get to what the cord is of this relationship is between them. This situation has grounded both of them in a reality that is impossible to imagine - i can't wait to see what the writers have in store for us as this could go in so many different ways for the both of them. It is nice to know it will be written with care and not end in a bad dream

[@Duddums]

This episode was so sad. Poor Jackson! Poor Aaron!

[@alwaysuseless]

Hurtful as it was to Aaron, I'm glad Jackson said everything he felt he needed to say. Now is not the time for him to bottle anything up. I hear his pain & anger as being ultimately not about Aaron but about himself, his condition now & what he wanted and couldn't get and now believes he'll never have. Aaron loves Jackson, but he couldn't let himself be in love with him, and now it's too late for an "I'm in love with you." At least for now, the ship has sailed on that one. THIS IS HARD BUT REAL.

[@samanthapetrelli]

I really wanna see more of Jackson like today, instead of only Aaron's reaction and how Aaron's is been affected by this. Marc, you are AMAZING !!!

[@savioy]

Just sad... Crying...... :'(

[@lotuscat66]

Powerful scenes and amazing acting. Wow. Jackson’s pain is so raw. I empathize with his rage. Tragically cut down at such a young age. He feels so out of control and helpless and angry at himself mostly. So, what better way to punish himself than to lash out at Aaron who he loves the most? Hopefully, Aaron won’t give up. He needs all his strength and determination to not give up on Jackson. On a side note, I’ve fallen in love with Hazel. She is such a lovely mother to her son.

[@donnorbri]

jackson is lashing out at the people he loves , which is only natural

[@marcojacksonlvr]

(cont)It's very tragic if you think about it..most of us go through life with just getting our hearts broken, but poor Jackson not only got his heart broken but paralyzed from the shoulders down as a result of HIS love for Aaron. If the writers do intend on A being IN LOVE with Jackson, it's not right now..maybe in the weeks/months to come he will fall in love with Jackson after seeing how brave and courageous he is tackling his unfortunate circumstances.

[@jasminecrawford42]

Damn Aaron parallels Robert so much in this story and Jackson parallels Aaron in that story. Well other than it rings quite hollow in this story unlike Robron as I have not seen much unbridled if any passion. But A+ acting and characters has kept me engaged.

[@lexi219]

How so?

[@misshuntress821]

Just because we like Robron doesn’t mean we don’t love Aaron. He’s such a fantastic character, and the growth he’s had is amazing to watch!

[@johndobson8075]

Jees - fck - last 5 seconds - Aaron man, don't walk off a bridge - Jackson is hurting and lashing out - - - - so sad - I may be 7 years late, but this is so well acted

[@ansuhmayram]

this speech had lasting impacts on aaron

[@1Hugi1Channel]

I know it was the pain speaking and the fear. But still it was crule.... Poor Aaron.

[@msteareader]

That was emotional. I HOPE that Jackson really doesn't blame Aaron. Aaron really needs his BFF.

[@Kassie0ate0a0cow]

I love the brother and sister relationship of Chas and Cane !

[@mandy00025]

Omg, so heartbreaking ...

[@chryslerv]

arghhhhhhhhhhhhh, hurts so bad... : (

[@cmaj129]

couldn't imagine being in Aarons place right now. i know that has got to hurt somethng fierce but, we all know Jackson didn't mean it. He's just feeling sorry for himself being so helpless. I know Aaron will be back and help him back on his feet because there is a great love there

[@mkmz690]

Despite all the harsh things Jackson said, you can't really blame him for being so upset. His world has been turn completely upside down and there's nothing he can do get away from it. I know he didn't want to intentional hurt Aaron the way he did but his frustration was really bottled up. The only thing I hope is that Jackson's word about still not saying "I love you" have really made Aaron think about how he truly feels about Jackson. Although I don't think Jackson would it believe right now.

[@robertn800]

The more times I watch this, I think Jackson did exactly the right thing lashing out at Aaron. If I were in Jackson's situation, I could not stand being around someone I loved, who didn't love me. Especially being in such a humiliating state. You would know they were there out of pity or guilt, not love, and who could stand being around someone you love being around you who is not helping you because they love you. It could only make you feel more like a burden and chore than a lover. Aaron go.

[@dipsyhappy]

When he got the question "why are you here?" Aaron could at least have said "because I care about you", even though is not exactly what jackson wanted to hear it's much much better than "because you need me", he could even had said "because I need you" like he has said before.

[@AS-wj1du]

Didn't realise how much Aaron suffered after Jackson died. He'd got better after they were together but after he died, he was tortured again and self destructive, hurting himself. If Jackson was around, he'd never have been like that

[@thunderbush1]

Jackson is depressed, angry. He doesn't want the man he loves to be condemned to a life as a carer and not be able to give him the physical love he wants. I am hoping and wishing that there's going to be a happy ending too.

[@youpumpertube]

I haven't watched this show since Danny left. Has Aaron come back as a guest yet?

[@youpumpertube]

That's too bad. He's the only reason I'd watch it again. Thanks for the answer.

[@wgaines94115]

I believe as hurt as Jackson feels, he said all those awful things to Aaron to push him away, because he really loves Aaron.

[@melshorse]

Jackson loves Aaron;and he does not want young Aaron to be a lifetime care giver.

[@ryanje8147]

I thought it was very sweet and thoughtful to go to Aaron in the lounge and try to encourage him regarding Jackson's mood. She seems so nice. Are all the nurses in the UK like her? I hope so.

[@L00P..]

I had to spend a fair time in a hospital on different occasions and always the nurses in the UK are brilliant in that respect. Chatty, thoughtful, funny and encouraging. :)

[@jodezak]

I will come back later and post.. for obvious reasons.. My eyes can't see the screen. I have to collect my thoughts here. :(

[@Caglehead268]

I had a very similar scene with my first boyfriend when I was hurting that he didn't love me or want me in the same way.. i know it's nothing remotely comparable, but it really hurts to see Jackson hurt so badly that he wants the guy he loves out of his life.

[@sanyrub]

@yournewsecretcrush It seems u feel and understand all this storyline as much as i do. I´m in awe since March!!xx

[@robertn800]

I think of Elizabeth Kübler-Ross's book "On Death and Dying".In her studies she found the second stage of the 5 stages of Grief is Anger. That's where Jackson is, He feels dead. His anger is directed to others, and himself, but to Aaron the most. because Aaron hurt him the most.Jackson is the kindest person, of course he didn't wish Aaron had died and doesn't blame him for his accident.Jackson will be sad he said those things and want to seen Aaron tho he reminds him of what he'll never have.

[@pilskadden]

I think Jackson's reaction is very realistic. His whole world has just collapsed, he is mad at being in this situation and takes it out on the people around him. Poor Aaron though, he looked really gutted.

[@contagieux]

I'm just heartbroken. I know its only a story but this story is tearing me apart. Must it always be a tragedy? Aaron has been through so much, I don't know if anyone in real life could cope with what he's been through. I hope something good is ahead because this story line makes me feel really sad. I love them both and want them to be together.

[@stvnrbbns]

I think that jackson doesn't really feel this way. He is angry for certain. however, I think that he is probably doing this to force Aaron to move on. he is trying to force him away so as not to burden him or tie him down. Aaron is after all only 18. I believe that Aaron will be persistent at everyone's urging and you will see Jackson come around. It will somehow have a happy ending.

[@samanthapetrelli]

@Sophieepie You are not the only one Soph, can't wait to watch monday's episode.

[@samanthapetrelli]

@jodezak I agree. And I know a lot of people are trashing the writers, but I trust them. They are getting exactly what they want: a story that make people getting involved. And yes, awards for both our boys. *today Marc stoled the spotlight*

[@1lisai]

aww poor aaron

[@SteffyPlum]

Just saw this .... with tears in my eyes and shivers down my spine .... Jackson is trying to deal with this and right now he is mad at the world and anyone who gets in his way. I think that right now J may hate Aaron but I also think he's trying to make it easy for Aaron ( or so he thinks). He does not want Aaron to stay outof gilt for what happened ...And Aaron with the I love you thing...Aaron was true to him self and said: i don´t know if i love you..and i can´t lie..NOT TO YOU.

[@sobelius]

The nurses comments about stages of grief were the most important and "realistic" comments in the episode. Also, Jackson has to go through this if any change in his condition is ever going to be meaningful (that is, if and when the soap writers allow him to move again). Same for Aaron. Luke and Noah pushed each other away but never so eloquently and never with such clear pain - I blame that on the American soap writing style. I'm upset this is where things are but hoping for a ray of light.

[@AS-wj1du]

He also thinks Aaron is there out of pity because he couldn't say he loved him before. And still can't but Aaron does love him. He's just scared. That's why he pushed him away later. Didn't stop till he left. Aaron did come back to him after he pushed him away. He said he loved him and probably regretted not saying it before

[@yournewsecretcrush]

cont ... Aaron feels it I'm sure, but he doesn't want to say something he is unsure of. He won't like to Jackson, which I think is extremely noble. He won't force himself to say something he can't realize yet. His fear is in control. Hopefully he'll overcome this. And I freaken hope Jackson overcomes his issues (physical state and all) soon too! So sad :-(

[@hearditman]

I can totally see where Jackson is coming from. How long has he been toying with the idea that he'd made a BIG mistake with Aaron? We learn that his friends have been telling him to get out of the relationship too. Hazel, on a couple of occasions, did like wise. He gave him second chance after second chance and then.......... He will be hating himself too. I wouldn't blame Aaron but I understand Jackson's anger and frustration.

[@AOP25]

@ttortier20 well protecting him from going through pains in the future! He wants to set Aaron free because he doesn't want Aaron to stick with a man that doesn't even know what will happen in the future. That's why he's saying all those things to Aaron, he cares so much about Aaron that he doesn't want A to go through all the tough times with him in the future!!

[@lucyjones4817]

I feel sorry for Aaron and Jackson 👑👑

[@jodezak]

@jodezak continued: Jackson needs someone with strong continence and strength and someone who wants to be there caue HE can't live without him and someone who is willing through hard times and good .. to stick by him no matter what. Jackson * iE the writers* have done this in hopes to get Aaron to come out ofhis comfort zone and realize he does love him. It wont happen right away.. but at Holidays I am hoping for a reunion :) jodezak 9 seconds ago

[@a308936]

DA-YAM! It was inevitable someone was going to mention the words Jackson finally said. It was just a matter of time.

[@lydiamaroon]

my heart beaks for Jackson!but the thing is "IFs" don't get anyone no where!

[@jarabaa]

Each episode more painful and gripping than the last. Leaves you feeling completely ... pole-axed, as they say here in Britain. Totally selfishly I feel: please, enough. This is agonising. But at the same time I remember : this is a realistic story. This is what happens in the world every day. It is true-to-life and well acted. It is strong, compelling drama, I have to say. Let it continue...

[@marcojacksonlvr]

@nyser1Cheers mate!! OMG I can't believe you said that!!!! I swear I was thinking the exact same thing..no joke...I love getting other people's point of view. That's what makes us grow and learn. I truely find it fascinating how we all perceive things differently and that's ok, if not we would all be robots:)

[@flipboidex]

Uh-oh, I sense a love triangle drama story between Marlon, Paddy, and Rona...

[@Kassie0ate0a0cow]

@pianomist I know Jackson doesn't mean what he said: he just wants to stop the heartache for aaron so he can move on... ;(

[@erzan]

Only one word describes my feeling 'NOOOOOOOOOOOO!'

[@MajorAlenko]

up untill the end, Jacksons telling Aaron to go, and when that doesn't work he blames him just to push him away

[@Justmylukc]

I think Jackson was only trying to push him away because he doesn't want him to be with him like that.

[@1dave68]

well to be honest this was always going to happen as Jackson was being to calm like in denial and these guys are doing this story brilliantly and Jackson was always going to vent and as usual its always the one you love that gets it in the neck Aaron over the next few weeks wil come to realise he does love him and needs him as much as Jackson needs him. Aaron will leave him for a few days to give him space but you will see next week he cant keep away from the one person who loves him for him

[@frankduke2]

u know jackson doesnt mean it look at his expression

[@DistantCousin]

@robertn800 Yes, I think a lot of fans on here have got carried away and treated this like the romance of the year - but as you point out, looking back at the facts, it really WASN'T. Aaron was just finding his way, was certainly not mature enough for a full on relationship. Jackson just happened to be the one to help his transition.

[@robertn800]

Did a mini marathon of A&J episodes this am.I think I can count on one hand the number of times Aaron acted affectionate to Jackson. Even if he was confused or something after their first time, he was surly, distant, and couldn't even give J a peck on the cheek. He treated J like a one night Trick. He broke important promises to J,didn't even get a Birthday present and ruined it. didn't want people to think of them as a couple.The first time J broke up, he put his stuff in a trash bag.

[@superxx57]

As of now, I have nothing else to say, mainly because Jackson said it all...

[@yournewsecretcrush]

@sanyrub ... tell me about it!

[@sanyrub]

@hearditman At least you made me laugh with that one! I needed it after spending all Sunday like a total mess as a result of watching Thursday and Friday epis this morning

[@lesgaybitrans]

Jackson was very hard on Aaron... but i can udernstand. He is not an angel, he is a human and he wanted to burst. But Aaron won' leave him im sure. let's see how the writers will handle this!

[@CourtneyB8150]

God ive never really liked Jackson but thus just puts the icing on the cake. What a bastard!!

[@1Hugi1Channel]

Oh no Aaron..... Oh god.... Thats so hard.....

[@hearditman]

@AlanRM1000 The bromance theme has been around for years. Think of alias Smith and Jones, Bodie and Doyle and the worst offenders Starsky and Hutch. The love that dare not say it's name!

[@marcojacksonlvr]

@nyser1 Believe it or not, I actually think that statement of wishing Aaron dead was probably one of the the most honest and primal emotion by Jackson. The writers are not only showing how Jackson blames Aaron for his paralysis but also how angry he is at Aaron for changing his nature,remember after the suicidal/fumes comment, he stated "how sick is that" (how he's feeling), meaning he realizes wishing that is wrong but that's what he's been reduced to b/c of Aaron. So sad but also very real :(

[@nyser1]

@marcojacksonlvr Well, I was actually responding to @Misstaralouise1994's concern/upset at Jackson "wishing Aaron was dead" - a reference to the suicidal/car full of fumes comment. You raise an interesting point though. I imagine that there were kernels of truth in the emotions expressed, but I can't agree that Jackson meant every word he said. The emotional turmoil is speaking and that's understandable, but Jackson makes his goal clear: "I want you to leave me" and he pushes until he gets that.

[@theberry575]

OMG i cant believe Jackson just said all that to Aaron! =(

[@frankduke2]

even though he said somethings quite hurtful i did not get the sense that jackson meant any of it u could see it in his eyes he didnt mean it, hes just lashing out at everone bc well he feels like hes suffocating and theres nothing he can do about it literally

[@Barnesi94]

My heart is breaking AGAIN, honestly those two are gonna make me have a heart attack at this rate AND I'M ONLY 16!

[@robertn800]

so intense

[@robertn800]

I do feel sorry, that this reinforces what Aaron said about himself that everyone who's ever cared about him has gotten hurt, Paddy, Clyde (who else?) and now Jackson. That's a lot of guilt to carry.

[@RohlenFalwethYT]

I really can't do it... It's too much... One of the most dramatic and most painful storylines, if not the most.

[@Its_Chimerical]

Haha I love PB & banana =D

[@gclover916]

@iddoogier68 I agree with you. I also have to think that this wouldn't be the best time for Aaron to admit his love for Jackson. It would seem like he was only saying it to make Jackson feel better. I hope that Aaron finally tells him, but on his own terms and not when Jackson prompts him to answer that way.
