Danny Miller happy with his Emmerdale sexuality plot
Wednesday, 2nd December 2009.
Emmerdale actor Danny Miller has admitted life became a bit easier when he discovered his character’s forthcoming storyline.
Bad boy Aaron will next week be seen trying to kiss his friend Adam after a car crash.
And Danny reckons now he knows his character is confused about his sexuality that it will be a lot simpler to portray him in certain scenes.
He told PA: "I told Gavin (Blyth, series producer) it's so much easier now when you go on set and people say 'Can you play it like this?' - now you know the reasons why they're asking you to play it like that."
He went on: "You know he's got this ongoing battle with himself. That's always in the back of my head when I'm putting my lines across.
"When I first came into the show he was just this angry teenager who would tell everyone to leave him alone.
“There was no explanation other than he'd had a difficult life with his parents, but there was never a very significant reason as to why he was the way he was.
“The new producer has come up with this idea that he could possibly be gay."
Danny believes viewers will find the storyline interesting as it involves such an unlikely character.
"From my years of watching soaps I don't think they've told this story before,” he added, “… this sexual confusion of such an unlikely character to be sexually confused.
“I think this is quite an interesting character to do it with and portray it with."
