I love Aaron when he speaks with such authority. The young man has earned his stripes. He can be completely clear, grounded, insightful, and to the point. Not even Jerry could resist the truth of Aaron's words. Danny Miller's performance made me want to cheer and cry all at the same time.
The conversations in the rooms seem so natural not like all over the top and dramatic so its so realistic when hazel was asking Jerry about his life it made the whole situation seem really hard.
Brilliant. Danny Miller is a superstar. When he stood up to Jackson's Dad, I got chills. That is actually the first passion he has shown for Jackson when you think about it. Yeah, he loves him, no doubt.
I am just floored at the level of top notch drama being shown on here and this is a soap. I think Jerry's revelation and turn around is way too quick but not unexpected given time constraints of the format. Still, high marks to all the actors and writers who really seem to bring their A game on this one in ways we would never see on American soaps or even most drama shows.
@JESSJUSTJESS Yes, it gave Danny Miller another chance to shine. I've bloody appreciated (and regrettably relate to) his portrayals, from coming out to Paddy, the angers, self-recriminations, and self-deprecations inherent in the character to the public coming out tears and now that first sense of personal worth and power. Brilliantly written, and carefully played.
I think the thing that amazes me most about this is just how still Marc is in this. we all talk about danny and his emotions but WOW being as still as Marc is .. just fabulous. It isn't easy to be that superstill in a scene. You might have an itch or a hair in your face but if you look he is like a board! Danny is emotionally fan flippin tastic yes but lets not discount marc here!
I think all has been said and now, except Aaron saying that he loves Jackson. I was expecting them to long the tension between Aaron and Jerry. That Jerry wasn't going to give over or see sense quiet early on. I liked how Aaron got to Jerry though, it was nice to see him fight back. I don't know tho, I was just expecting more.
But Aaron's not truly a violent person. All the emotional upheaval in his life has made him use violence as a defense mechanism. He figures if he's an ass all the time and acts hard then people can't hurt him, but underneath it all he's just a little boy who craves the unconditional love that he should have received as a child from the two people who should have loved him the most but he didn't always show that. Not saying the violence is ok, but it's understandable.
@JESSJUSTJESS Yes.. the writers really know the right things to say and directors know the way to direct danny in how he performs it. Danny Is brilliant in this as his temperament has shifted to that of knoledge and understanding now. :D So happy he showed up at Jackson's Bedside but now the real tough question remains.. Will he continue to stand by him even if he does have damage to the brain and parylyzed?
@JESSJUSTJESS Yes, this. It's exactly the kind of remorse my father always issued - after the fact and short-term only. Jackson will have been heartily tired of feeling his worth demeaned by his own father, and will likely not freely give him another chance. Jerry may yet wind up bitter and alone, especially if he screws up with 18 month old Josh!
@JESSJUSTJESS I actually had to do that for one of the drama's I was in ... I did some school / church/ town theater and know it isn't easy to do that :P
I'm glad that Aaron went to see Jackson but I would have still like to see a little restraint to going to see him as he does believe that it is his fault. I wanted to see the guilt build up inside of him. For him to be more worried about what he has done. Just to of had a quilty (how do you spell the word that's meant to follow?). I would have liked to have seen him crack under the pressure when seein him up close for the first time. Not just all right mate like it's quickly been forgotten.
You know... I really hope we in teh future get to see Jackson's new brother. See that interaction with him. I know it wont be easy if Jackson ends up paryalyzed but i know will be filled with Love :D
@JESSJUSTJESS Millions of meditators around the world sit perfectly still for hours. With a little training it is not a big deal. And I don't mean to suggest that sitting still is what meditation is about. Also, Marc only has to be super still when the camera is on him--a few seconds at a time. Making his heart stop was probably difficult, though. :-)
Aarons speech to Gerry was both great and sad. The way he speaks about what Dads do with their sons, its like he wishes his dad was like that, after all 2016 we find out Aarons Dad was f****** b*******
@JESSJUSTJESS Jerry will need a bit more fleshing out when Jackson wakes up for me to decide if I can like him. It's not the regret he's experiencing now, but the follow-through, that will determine it. I'll set small store on his words to Hazel. Just a smidge, mind.
@VoxNocturn Only thing.. If he does have brain damage.. if he wakes up... there might be a chance that Jackson might not recognize him.. that would suck yes but quite possible :( I hope it isn't that bad :(I want him to come out so aaron can that too and Jackson knows and takes him back anything else would be jsut too damn depressing
@JESSJUSTJESS Oh absolutly! Its not only bigotry in teh gays but also In ethnicities and religion .. and so on.. I think even if there was one person watching this storyline who wasn't well informed.. they should be by the end of this storyline
@Jendall1 I am not from there but I would say for the age group.. I am putting money on his acting ablitiy and bests even american actors as well. Some A-Lister actors can't cry on a dime one min and laugh thenext second. I tell you he is going to be huge in teh world. I hope Marc does just as good cause he has huge potential as well. :D
@JESSJUSTJESS "degenerated in the level of conversation" - don't you regularly? I mean really, Jess - anybody can tell that Jackson's the more relaxed of these two young gents. Aaron's working on it but still needs a lot of practice.
actually he is breathing by a breathing apparatus. * soap world* yes but In real life he is acting like he is breathing by that thing and not regularly. :D
I love Aaron when he speaks with such authority. The young man has earned his stripes. He can be completely clear, grounded, insightful, and to the point. Not even Jerry could resist the truth of Aaron's words. Danny Miller's performance made me want to cheer and cry all at the same time.
Wow! Amazing, thought - provoking stuff. Excellent script, sublime acting, and Aaron is so loveable!!
The conversations in the rooms seem so natural not like all over the top and dramatic so its so realistic when hazel was asking Jerry about his life it made the whole situation seem really hard.
"He's not a bad bloke, just ignorant" - I like Hazel, just so straightforward
It makes so much sense now as to why Jackson reacted the way he did when Aaron hit him a few months back...
Brilliant. Danny Miller is a superstar. When he stood up to Jackson's Dad, I got chills. That is actually the first passion he has shown for Jackson when you think about it. Yeah, he loves him, no doubt.
Cheers to the soap's writers and producers, what a great story line!!

The best job so far by the actor playing Jackson yet, just lying there. LOL.
great acting ... I love aaron ..
This is an awesome story.

@Jendall1 I totally agree with, what a great scene!!!
GO AARON!!!!!!!
I think all has been said and now, except Aaron saying that he loves Jackson. I was expecting them to long the tension between Aaron and Jerry. That Jerry wasn't going to give over or see sense quiet early on. I liked how Aaron got to Jerry though, it was nice to see him fight back. I don't know tho, I was just expecting more.
luv how aaron twigs bout jerry hittin jackson and why he hates violence!
yes but remember, Aaron is a violent person as well....let's not forget how he beat up Paddy and so many others.
But Aaron's not truly a violent person. All the emotional upheaval in his life has made him use violence as a defense mechanism. He figures if he's an ass all the time and acts hard then people can't hurt him, but underneath it all he's just a little boy who craves the unconditional love that he should have received as a child from the two people who should have loved him the most but he didn't always show that.

SNAP Boy you go. Don't back down. And BTW Gay is normal. WE are 12 % of the population. We are just like everyone else.

I know right... there is just not comparison. They found a real diamond in the rough
wao!! cheers for you aaron!!!
