Cain and Caleb were relieved to learn that they tested negative, relieving them of the worry of passing the gene to their children, including Nicky (Lewis Cope), as well as Cain’s children.
It was a different
story for Aaron, however, who tested positive. According to Danny Miller, ‘More than anything, I don’t think he realises the seriousness of it straight away.’ ‘I think it’s a case of him having to deal with it fairly quietly and privately.’
This led Aaron to lie to Chas. She was hugely relieved to hear that her brothers are in the clear and Aaron couldn’t bring himself to upset her by telling her the truth, so he told her that he, too, tested negative.
‘He’s happy that everyone else is negative,’ Danny reflected. ‘Secretly he’s going along with it that he’s negative as well, when really he’s positive. I think it’s almost like a defence mechanism where he’s like, “I’m negative and if I see it like that, no-one needs to know.” That’s kind of where his head’s at.’
Danny said that at some point down the line Aaron might be able to open up, and there are only two people he would be able to talk to about it.
‘I know there’ll be some sort of conversation with Chas about it at some point. I think she really is the only person – Paddy (Dominic Brunt) as well, probably – that he would really open up to and let his guard down without feeling weak and vulnerable.’
An unexpected departure.
