When Aidan hits the bottle, what is going through his mind?
Aidan is completely lost. There is nothing in his head that is saying, ‘Where did I go wrong?’ because it was inevitable and it’s called Karma. But I do think that by telling Eva the truth before the wedding, that he thought that would be the end of it - he never expected in his wildest dreams that she was lying about the baby and that she was co-plotting with Adam to clear out the factory. At that moment he was hoping for a clean slate and now, more than anything, he has lost the woman that he did love the most.
And Adam is making matters worse...
Aidan is a mess because he is trying to figure out how he is going to get people to believe that Adam cleared the factory because there is no evidence there.
What happens when he comes face to face with Adam?
Aidan snaps at Adam because he can see, in front of his eyes, that he has lost the woman that he loves to the guy that he despises. This guy wanted the factory from the get-go so he started a vendetta against Aidan and now Aidan has lost his girl to him too. Basically, it is Aidan’s own fault but he doesn't like that Adam is goading him. Aidan runs at Adam because he has lost everything now so nothing else matters.
Do you think that Adam has underestimated Aidan?
Aidan won’t let this lie, regardless of what happens to the factory. Aidan has got to get some sort of revenge on Adam, not just for his business but for all the people that worked there.
What was it like to film the scenes where Aidan snaps at Adam?
Those scenes are always fun. The physical scenes are my favourite scenes to do, for example kissing scenes that you have to make believable or fight scenes like grabbing someone, hitting someone or being hit yourself. They are really enjoyable and I have been quite lucky with getting to do these sort of physical scenes because Aidan has hit a lot of people!
Aidan tries to pull himself together and suggests starting a business with Alya, is it just business on his mind?
Yes, completely. Johnny gives Aidan a pep talk and it’s tough love so he makes Aidan think about starting a business again. Aidan knows he has already found something good in Alya because she is great with designs. Because he is eager to get things back on track and to prove to people that he can do this, he makes a pass at Alya!
What are his thoughts when he tries to kiss Alya?
It’s the first good thing that is happening to him that he’s had. He is caught up in the moment and he looks at Alya.
What would Luke’s reaction be if he finds out?
Luke won’t respond well to it…!
What has the reaction being like from viewers to Aidan and Eva's break-up?
There has been a great response for everyone’s performances; Sally Ann Matthews, Richard Hawley and especially Catherine Tyldesley and Samia Longchambon. I am blessed to be in scenes with them and I have had a great response for my performance as well.
Have you noticed viewers have been taking sides?
It’s nice to see a bit of a divide. That’s great and it’s something for me to learn that people might not like what Aidan has done at the minute. It’s going to be interesting to see their reaction now Aidan has nothing, whether that is his own fault or not. It shows that the public are buying into the story.
What advice would you give to Aidan if he was your friend?
I would do what Johnny does and give him a pep talk. I would tell Aidan that he is better than this. Whether he will get his girl back and start again, who knows, but I would encourage him to get his business back and get people their jobs back. And that's what he wants to do.
