Aaron Dingle on Emmerdale's massive new storyline and why he nearly quit acting

Emmerdale fans will have been on the edge of their seats since last night, as viewers saw Aaron fight sex abuser Anthony Fox - only to later fear he had killed him.

While the drama was on screen, the real battle was being fought behind-the-scenes as it marked actor Danny Miller's biggest and heaviest storylines since his return to the soap - two years after his debilitating panic and anxiety attacks saw him decide to quit.

Previously the three-time Soap Award winner would struggle so much when filming such dark scenes, he feared he would pass out. But now Danny, 34, admits he’s found a perfect tonic to protect himself and his mental health: His new wife and children.

“I’m not gonna sit here and lie and say, ‘I wanted to kill myself,’ but I certainly thought it would be easier if I wasn’t here," he admitted on Ryan and Adam Thomas’s Mancs on the Mic podcast at the time. Adding about his difficulties on Emmerdale, he added: “They go, ‘Stand by’, and my brain’s going, ‘You’re gonna f*** this up, you’re gonna f*** this up’. I’m sweating and I go, ‘Sorry, you’ll have to cut there’. I had it loads when I’ve got a big scene and I’ve gone, ‘Oh my God, I’m gonna pass out’.”

Two years later, Danny decided he was ready to return to Emmerdale in October 2023. He’d had some emotive scenes during Chas Dingle’s cancer plot. But it’s the new child abuse storyline which has been the real test as Danny is in some major scenes. To recap, Anthony is thought to have been abusing his daughter Ruby, and Danny’s Aaron - having been abused by his own father - feels a responsibility to help bring him to justice. Until, that is, Anthony’s found in a pool of blood and Aaron fears he’s taken things too far.

This time round, Danny’s feeling far more able to cope with the emotional impact of the storylines - thanks to wife Steph, who he married in 2022, and their children Albert, three, and Edith, one. “Without Steph, I wouldn’t be here in Emmerdale,” he tells us now. “Steph is very good at checking in and making sure I am ok, which helps a lot. I know Steph has everything under control at home. She was born to be a mum and she is amazing.”

Danny first met Steph Jones in primary school, but they only became a couple in 2019. Danny proposed at a candlelit beach dinner in St Lucia in January 2021 - a trip Steph had booked for his 30th birthday celebrations. A month later they found out they were expecting their first child together. They had both suffered with mental health issues in the past, and claim to have “saved each other” - a sentiment Danny shared during his speech when they married in Cheshire in 2022.

Now, he says, there are no downside about returning to the soap. “I’ve definitely got no regrets. It was the best decision Steph and I made,” he tells us. “I really appreciate the fact that Emmerdale gave me this chance. I’ve got a lot of friends who are struggling at the moment. I love playing Aaron again.”

Next week viewers will see Aaron tell Ruby he killed her dad - even though we know there are multiple people who could have actually delivered the fatal blow. While Danny is keeping tight-lipped about what will happen next in the abuse storyline, he admits he feels a huge responsibility to get it right, as it's one “people will watch and will be affected by”. He knows what he’s talking about - his character came out as gay in 2010 and it’s helped thousands of viewers.

“I still get people coming up to me now talking about Aaron coming out. Even though it is a long time ago now, I’m still really proud of it because we played against stereotypes and it helped to change perceptions,” he says. “I can remember when Gavin, who was a dear friend and our producer, gave me the opportunity. He told me it would change my life. He sadly died many years ago but I can still remember how proud I was that he’d given me the story and I’ve never looked back.

“So many people come up regularly saying: ‘what we love is the fact that you play this hard man who happens to be in love with a man’. It was a big risk at the time but I will always be very grateful.” The Dingles are Danny’s ‘second family’ and even have their own WhatsApp group. He was devastated when Steve Halliwell, the actor who played Zak Dingle, passed away in December 2023.

“It’s lovely to be part of the Dingles,” adds Danny. “Steve Halliwell, God rest his soul, was the one who made the Dingles who they are today. They are all very loyal. We have that real family feel and we have our own WhatsApp group message.”

Away from the soap, Danny says he is determined to embrace every spare second with Steph and his two kids. Weekends, he says, are devoted to non-stop family activities. “We are always out exploring,” adds Danny. “At the weekend, we pack a lot in with family stuff!”

As well as devoting himself to his family, Danny also takes part in other TV shows when he can. He did, of course, triumph on I’m a Celebrity in the first ever Welsh edition during the pandemic in 2021 and he admits being crowned ‘King of the Castle’ will always have a ‘special place’ in his heart. “I went in with no game plan,” he recalls. “I was so lucky people voted for me. It’s the only time I haven’t watched the series!”

He didn’t have quite so much success, however, earlier this month when he took part on Mastermind, coming last with just ten points. His glum facial expression became a meme on X, formerly known as Twitter, with many berating Danny for ‘sulking’ and being a ‘bad loser’. Today Danny admits even his wife asked him why he looked so miserable.

“Steph said to me: ‘why did you look like that? It looks bad’,” he says. “The truth of the matter is I was embarrassed and really gutted I hadn’t got more points. I can’t hide my feelings! I didn’t want to let myself down and make a fool of myself. But there were smarter, wiser celebrities against me.”

[ryandannyandgalerandy]

Hi, to anyone who is willing to read my post on here. To all the Robron/Robert Sugden fans. Me included. I have read on here(tumblr) everyone's comments and opinions about the return and the future. So I am going to say my piece, both on and off screen. Especially with all the articles that have come out in recent days and Ryan's interviews with people. So here goes, Ryan is coming back to hopefully save a sinking show. The viewing figures over the last few yrs since he left has gone into free fall. The show is lucky if it gets 3-4 million people watching it. Also the shows storylines across the board have been contrived, lazy, long drawn out, ridiculously boring and lack no quality at all. The show has also become a woke tick boxing excuse of what was once a great show many yrs a go to watch. So Ryan Hawley is obviously the" hail mary" the show needs. The rest of cast knows it and more importantly so has Danny miller. He and the producers have been trying to get Ryan to return for awhile now. But obviously this time Ryan has agreed. So he must have been given a lucrative contract to compensate his relocation back to the UK. Also to keep him on the show for good. Also he must have been assured by the producers and Danny of better great quality storylines now and into the future( none of the past storylines that resulted in Ryan deciding to quit the show 6/7 yrs ago, I think his mind was already made up in 2018) This time around we need a complete fresh start of the Robron era. I want the showrunners and also the boys to earn the forgiveness from the fans/viewers for that. They put us through hell for it for many yrs. 2017 onwards. Loosing Ryan. Aaron being this piss poor wishy washy character and more importantly getting the viewers back to the show and watching it again. But I want a lot of Robert on his own with great storylines, Ryan's chance to shine for awhile before we have Robron reunited for good and it will be for good this time. Otherwise there was no point of Ryan returning at all. Robron is Emmerdale's greatest asset! I am so happy that Ryan has been given this amazing response and he seems much happier this time around. I hope the producers have learnt some hard hitting valuable lessons while Ryan was gone and this time around we have top notch great quality storylines with Robert and Aaron also. Because it will be the boys and mainly Ryan who might end up saving the show and the other cast members! We deserve the very best now!! Thanks to whoever has read this.

[mackronrobron]

Robron has my heart so I'm thrilled to have Ryan back, but I do lowkey think Mack is the only other person Danny has had chemistry with since Ryan left. I did think the writers were building to pairing them back when Danny left the show and then again when he returned, but they're probably dead in the water again because of Roberts return. I can't be mad because Robron and I would rather they stayed friends then turned romantic just in time for to leave him for Robert anyway. I do wonder if thats why Danny gave that interview stressing Mack is straight as he knows they're not going there now.

Robron will always be my OTP on this show, I adore them with every fibre of my being. They’re incredible, they’re a mess, they’re a trainwreck you can’t look away from in the best way possible. Ryan coming back is just the cherry on top of some already incredible returns lately, namely Ross and Joe (I really do love Joe, he’s such a prick, it’s hilarious).

I do, however, concur that Lawrence Robb and Danny Miller have insane chemistry, hence why I’m a Mackron and Robron shipper. Even now, with this whole John bollocks, Mack’s face whenever he sees Aaron and John together? That is one jealous bisexual bitch, and I will die on that hill. If they had any balls, Charity would’ve gone back to Vanessa, and then Mack could’ve got with Aaron. Vanity and Mackron would’ve gone so fucking hard.

The thing with Danny’s Loose Women interview is that, had it come at literally any other time, I’d have said it was nothing more than a misdirect. But, with Ryan’s return, I really do think they’ll reunite Robron. Don’t get me wrong, I’m fucking loving the now very real prospect of a reunion, but my daydreams will forever include Mackron. Now, if they weren’t complete and utter cowards (and if this was a post-watershed show instead of pre-watershed), they’d give us MackRobRon. Because it’d be fucking incredible and we deserve it — two bisexual disasters and the biggest gay trainwreck in that entire village? Gimme.

Is Benedict Cumberbatch actually ableist/anti-autism?

Every now and then I hear people mentioning it. When I learned for the first time about what he said and done I was shocked. He may not be my favourite famous person or actor, but he's a well respected man who played many roles I'm fond of. I was deeply upset about this, but one question was lingering in my mind. What about the context? Did he actually said that? Did he still hold those negative opinions or was it just the times. On top of that, how much does non-actors understand what's like to be an actor. Oh, and let's not forget that all of those accusations came from written articles and interviews with him which create catchy biased headlines and commentary.

I happened to be an autistic and a disabled actor myself, so I dig deeper and here it is. Allow me to be the devil's advocate.

First I remind you all that in 2013 the terms like "low functioning" or other subtypes of autism were changed, so it's no suprise that the outdated terms were still being used.

Starting off in 2011 when Cumberbatch played Frankenstein's 'Creature' and Frankenstein. I've seen some people confused whether he played Victor Frankenstein, the mad scientist, or the 'Creature', Frankenstein's creation who wasn't even given a name. He played both, exchanging it with the other actor, Jonny Lee Miller. This isn't as uncommon as people think, although it's not popular either.

Benedict mentioned that the he went with Jonny to see how autistic people act. He also did his own research into stroke survivors as well in general people who had to re-learn how to use their bodies. That's because that's the research they needed to accurately portray a character freshly born in a body of adult and immediately abounded by his creator, who is trying to learn how he and people work.

The part of this video that's important to this conversation is from 00:00 to 01:20.

I recommend also watching this video for a better inside of the character if you don't know the book. This is important because the Creature being autistic coded is not a bad a thing. He is not a monster. You missed the whole point of the play and book.

The Creature is a child in a adult body. The tragedy of "Frankenstein" is that all he wants is to be loved and cared for, but because of his deformations, scary physical appearance and mental disability everyone fears him and threats him as an 'it', a scary dangerous monster. IF YOU THINK THE CREATURE IS A MONSTER YOU ARE BEING ABLEIST.

Clips of The Creature being born are shown while the actors look mildly embarrassed watching themselves on screen. Madeline: I wanted to talk about the immense physicality of this show – you are both learning to walk as adults and it really comes through in those clips and how did you go about doing that? Jonny: We worked with a movement coach Toby Sedgwick, the incredible Toby Sedgwick. We started work the 3 of us (Danny, Benedict and Jonny) and also with Toby and Nick before the rest of the company joined us and it was sort of like a going back to school process really for me and Benedict. We worked on movement in various ways. Movement techniques of using different materials and different substances and it was quite embarrassing and quite a great way to get to know each other and to sort of drop everything immediately… Benedict: Like our clothes! Straight away. Jonny: Two guys pretending to be oil and glass who don’t really know each other very well at all. There’s a lot of water in there as well. Benedict: We talked a lot about about what we were doing as far as the world that influenced Danny and Nick in terms of wanting to do this project. We went to two extraordinary schools for autistic children and there is an element of the movement that reflects that but also as Jonny was saying it’s an evolution of a man who is fully formed so it’s an evolution with a fully grown body, it’s as if a man is born again as an elephant. Sort of backwards. It’s about not knowing anything about what they’ve got but being capable of doing much more than a child so it was about how to stagger that progression and having certain barriers to being fully evolved with certain autistic movements. Madeline: You do see the development of the Creature as he moves on and gets older and learns. […]

Unfortunately the link to the website this transcript was on no longer works, it was taken over, however you can view it using the Wayback Machine.

So, no, in this situation he absolutely was not ableist. That was just actors doing their job, making no offensive comments. And again The Creature is not a monster! He's practically mentally disabled with a development disorder if you tried to diagnose him like a real person. The entire history is about him fighting for his right to be alive and happy despite of how weirdly he looks or behaves.

Two other similar takes on this (Twiter/X) (Carrd)

In the 2014 interview for the Irish Times about his role in "The Imitation Game" as Alan Turing and other achievements he commented further about the role in Frankenstein.

For his award-winning turn in Danny Boyle's Frankenstein, he studied autism so that he might grasp how a fully formed man, with no infancy or childhood to reference, might behave.

“I went to schools and met people, some of whom are very high functioning on the autistic spectrum. I met a 17-year-old who had the mental age of a one and a half year old. Everything was just about bodily functions. Smell. Sexual arousal. Shitting. Whatever. So when I hear people use diagnostic labels casually – Sherlock is autistic, Turing is autistic – it really upsets me.”

He pauses for a nanosecond, then continues to talk: “And it upsets me those 17-year-olds were coming to the end of their care. Because after that they’re supposed to head into employment and earn revenue for their government. Ha. Because from early on you’re empiricised in that Orwellian sense.”

He smiles: “Sorry. I’m getting political.”

A lot of people leave out the last part, which is incredible frustrating considering he talks about a very real problem disabled people experience. As soon as we turn 18 we are suddenly supposed to figure everything out on our own and be useful to society or we'll be thrown out. It's ironic how people who accused him of being ableist here got this negative part so spread out, but not the really important part. The part where he cares for that 17-year-old who society would rather ignore, because they just didn't fit that perfect picture. The part he brings attention to an awful thing that happens every day.

The same year he said, as written in Metro:

Many are drawing parallels between Turing and Cumberbatch’s Sherlock Holmes, suggesting he’s specializing in characters who exist somewhere on the autism spectrum. But Cumberbatch wants them to cut out that nonsense. “Though Sherlock is an immediate comparison, they’re so different. Sherlock is a sociopathic show-off, and Alan was anything but that,” Cumberbatch tells Metro. “I don’t think he was on the spectrum. I think a lot of people are very lazy with that.” It’s a suggestion Cumberbatch has heard raised again and again, and he’s frankly had enough of it. “I think it’s a really dangerous thing to toy with that,” he says. “People talk about me doing that quite a lot and that being a good thing for people who are on the spectrum, which is great. But I don’t go into a job going, ‘Is this autism? Is this Asperger’s? Is this some other form of slight learning difficulty or disability?’ I’m very wary of that, because I’ve met people with those conditions. It’s a real struggle all the time. Then these people pop up in my work and they’re sort of brilliant, and they on some levels almost offer false hope for the people who are going through the reality of it.”

What Cumberbatch is actually saying in both of those is that he is sick of people seeing a genius played by him and immediately stereotype him as autistic, ignoring the fact that it's a very broad disability. Because that's what autism is, a disability. Fun fact, you can have autistic or ADHD traits/symptoms, but you won't get diagnosed if they aren't disabling you on daily basis. The lowest level of autism is "requiring support". There is nothing wrong with admitting your autism is making you disabled. There's nothing wrong with being disabled.

He isn't trying to play a autistic character, he just plays what he thinks is right. People see the geniuses he plays and immediately go "😮🫵 Autistic!" and compare them despite how different they are.

However, the way he says it stinks of that "You can't headcanon everyone autistic, that's a serious condition!" mindset that's oh so present in neurotypicals. I can only assume that what he was trying to say is that it's not good to portray disabilities as superpower, without mentioning the struggles they come with, but even if that was the intention it was poorly phrased. It did come out as disrespectful and in my personal opinion we can be truly mad at that, because we're not something to pity or describe so… oddly?, like that comment about the 17 year old.

I disagree with Turing not being autistic irl, more specifically with thinking people's reasons to say that are lazy, unless he was talking about Sherlock or the movie version of Turing there, in which case, eh 50/50. For example, here's a great article about exactly that, it compares the real life Alan and the movie version and if it is even good to 'diagnose' historical figures. However the movie version makes him more socially awkward, so this could be just being upset as people took another fictonal white, awkward genius and slapped "autistic" on that. It's funny how when characters like this are canonically autistic then it's a stereotype, but when it's a headcanons then suddenly it's okay and you shouldn't disagree with it. Sheldon from Big Bang theory is a great example of that.

To quote another article about how Turing in the move was changed:

The Imitation Game isn’t a plea for greater tolerance of homosexuals, but of people on the autistic spectrum. Its cause is neurodiversity, not sexual diversity. That’s why Turing is portrayed as someone who struggles with ordinary human interaction. He’s literal-minded to a fault and is incapable of understanding jokes. He’s nothing like the real Alan Turing, who was warm, charming and funny; instead, he’s exactly like the main character in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. To make a point, the filmmakers have invented a largely fictional character — a mathematical genius with Asperger’s syndrome. It’s as if they decided that presenting Turing as a victim of the persecution of homosexuals is old hat. So instead, he’s portrayed as a martyr to another, more fashionable cause. His crime isn’t being gay, but failing to be neurotypical.

Now, I’m all for giving more respect to people on the autistic spectrum — my half-brother Christopher is on the autistic spectrum — but not because they’re ‘special’. The Imitation Game commits a similar error to Rain Man, which seems to argue that Dustin Hoffman’s character should be valued and cherished not because he’s a human being with the same needs as the rest of us but because he’s exceptional with numbers. It’s patronising nonsense, and as an argument for neuro-diversity doesn’t bear scrutiny. It won’t surprise you to learn that Christopher isn’t any good at maths.

You can say that I'm being too biased towards the Benedict here, but I think it's only right to give the man a benefit of a doubt, especially how people jumped him after Frankenstein, and say "Hey, was that a horribly phrased thought? Hell yeah, but the meaning could not be so simple as people think." You're assuming the worse here, and I do understand why, considering how we're usually treated, but maybe let's try to assume positively too. At least let's try to be neutral.

I'm not going to dictate if he's ableist or not, that's up to you to decide how you feel, I just hope you can make an educated opinion and that this helped clear anyone's mind, because it did for me.

Oh, and also, this doesn't mean he's a good person now, because he's been a dick to so many people and had horrible opinions on so many topics. This is purely about the ableist accusations.

[no-goodbyes-no-regrets]

i've just seen people finding danny miller's recent comments funny. i really doubt it's that deep, but i guess he has fans and they might take anyone saying anything about him too seriously? i've been on-off emmerdale for ages and everyone usually ignores him or has a laugh when he puts his foot in the mouth. he's harmless

people absolutely would take his interviews SUPER seriously in the past - he even said (more than once) not to believe everything you read in these magazines because things get edited for maximum clicks and hits. Metro/duncan especially is known for the baiting and winding up fans.

but yeah these days most people thankfully ignore his comments or laugh

like calling Mack masculine? The man who danced around in a stolen coat singing Valerie? That man?
