About Aaron Livesy:

At first glance Aaron might seem a harden, snarky, and curmudgeon misanthrope. But actually under his hard shell beats a heart of gold. Aaron is loyal to a fault, would do anything for those he loves, and is always there for those in need.

Aaron is the only son of Chas Dingle and her ex-husband Gordon Livesy. Chas overwelmed and not equipped for motherhood leaves Aaron to be raised mainly by Gordon and his second wife Sandra. Aaron visited Chas a few times in Emmerdale, but their relationship over the years stayed mainly estranged.

Aaron reemerges as an angry, bitter, violent teenager who is arrested for possession of drugs. He has driven Gordon and Sandra away with his behavior and Gordon kicks him out. Aaron moves in with Chas and the rest of the Dingle clan.

Aaron clashed with pretty much everyone in the village. Starting fights and causing all sorts of trouble. He starts working at the local garage as a mechanic and looking up to his uncle Cain, the resident bad boy. Chas starts to date her boss, the local vet Paddy Kirk. Aaron initially doesn't take to Paddy and takes the micky out of his wimpish ways. However, Aaron eventually starts to bond with Paddy. Chas and Aaron move into Paddy's cottage.

Aaron starts up a friendship with Adam Barton around this time, which starts off very rocky. Considering Aaron almost burned down the Barton's barn and tried to get Adam's father John sent down for hitting him. Aaron agrees to drop all charges after the Dingles and the Bartons learn that Aaron attempted to use the situation to blackmail Adam's sister Holly for sex. But after some time, Aaron is forgiven and Adam and Aaron become best friends. It's a friendship that will have long lasting affects on Aaron's life in prominent ways over the years.

After a holiday abroad, Aaron discovers that during his absence from the village, Chas has cheated on Paddy with her longtime on/off love Carl who Aaron also despises. Chas has left her job at the vets and moved in with Carl, leaving Aaron furious. Aaron chooses to side with Paddy who he has grown to look upon as a father figure and continues to live with Paddy. Aaron tells Chas that he hates her and wants nothing more to do with her.

Aaron stays hostile towards Chas and grows closer to Paddy. Aaron's behavior starts to improve little by little under Paddy's guidance. While driving back from a concert with Adam, they have a minor run-off-road collision. As Adam starts to inspect Aaron's injuries, Aaron tries to kiss Adam. A shocked Adam pulls away and confronts Aaron. Frightened that everybody will know his secret, an embarrassed Aaron tells his friend that he did not try to kiss him, and that Adam must have misunderstood the situation. Adam is unconvinced and expresses disapproval when Aaron enters into a relationship with Holly.
