A slip-up from Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) leaves Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) convinced he is hiding something about Aaron (Danny Miller) in Emmerdale.
The secret Liam is hiding from Chas is that he knows the truth about Aaron’s BRCA2 genetic test. A few weeks ago, after Chas revealed her cancer developed as a result of the faulty gene, Caleb (William Ash), Cain (Jeff Hordley) and Aaron had the test – but Aaron was the one who tested positive.
Because this happened around the same time as Chas’ double mastectomy, and the fact Aaron knew how emotionally exhausted his mum was following the diagnosis, he chose to keep the truth a secret and allowed her to believe his test came back negative.
Due to him being the village doctor, Liam is aware of Aaron’s real results, but hasn’t said anything to Chas because of patient confidentiality.
While Liam respects the rule of not revealing Aaron’s secret, he cares about Chas a lot and in this new video, it appears to get the better of him.
In the pub back room, Liam and Chas are chatting about Eve and how she will need to wait until she’s 18 years old before taking the BRCA test.
Chas expresses her fears and can’t help wonder if the odds are ‘stacked against her’, given her brothers and son all tested negative – apparently.
Conversation then turns to Aaron. At first, Chas believes Liam is being kind and looking out for him, but she then becomes suspicious and realises he’s hiding something.
‘Is there something I should be worried about?’, Chas wondered.
Liam realises his mistake and tells Chas she should forget he even said anything. He stands up and dashes out, but Chas is left puzzled.
Curious, will Chas work out what Liam is keeping from her?
And if she finds out about Aaron’s test results, how will she react?
