The death of Ben Tucker (Simon Lennon) has sent shockwaves through Emmerdale, with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) being left broken by the sudden loss.
Meena Jutla (Paige Sandhu) murdered Ben after he discovered her killer secrets but while Meena couldn’t give a toss, Liv Flaherty (Isobel Steele) is feeling guilty considering the way she fought with Ben before everything that happened.
Aaron pleads with the police to tell him that Ben’s death wasn’t murder. The police inform Liv that they’ll need a statement from her too.
Aware of the potential significance of her troubling encounter with Liv, Lydia struggles with her secret.
Back at Mill Cottage, Aaron is convinced that Ben’s deadbeat dad was the culprit, but is disappointed when he hears that he has a solid alibi.
Hearing Aaron mourn his lost love, Liv’s guilt mounts over her recent actions towards Ben.
But will she come clean to Aaron and can he forgive her?

‘Aaron is a character our viewers took into their hearts and have followed his rollercoaster journey for years. Danny will be hugely missed and we wish him all the best going forwards.’
