Aidan was literally one of my favourite characters, ever since he first arrived. His emotion and acting was so on point. His storylines with Maria and Eva, his kidney... can't believe he's gone. My heart is broken. 💔
The scenes where Johnny finds the note and resulting heartbreak are as close as anyone can get to the real thing. Replicating the circumstances which gain ones' entrance into such an exclusive club for those who find suicide victims is, luckily, impossible but tonights' episode did convey as much of the devastation and shock as possible and that was some feat. Well done to all involved.
I know that this Storyline is going to help someone. In the US I don't remember seeing Suicide Storylines but I remember on Degrassi High Archie "Snake" Simpson found Claude Tanner's Body. Then when he becomes a Teacher A Young Man named Rick not only Shoots and paralyzes Jimmy Brooks but takes his own life. He asked his Principal to just listen to him and the man didn't and a riot took place. In the US there was a Soap Actor named Benjamin Hendrickson who played Harold "Hal" Munson on As The World Turns starting in 1985 who killed himself in 2006. He was very depressed and nobody knew then Michelle Ray Smith who played Ava Paralta on Guiding Light (It's Sister Show) had a relative who killed themselves. Kristoff St. John who has been playing Neil Winters on The Young & The Restless was so devastated by his Son Julian's Death by suicide who was also Schizophrenic he tried to take his own life. He got counselling and he's doing much better.
It's when they muffle Johnny's voice, it really hits me. It's the sound of him cuddling Aiden and burying his face into him with grief. It's so realistic and devastating! X
This was a really sad episode, the devastation of all the Conners especially Johnny, Eva etc. Shayne Ward did a really great job as Aidan Conner during the short time I've been watching this programme, and Coronation St for this hard hitting storyline. And of course the message is really important, if your ever feeling the way Aidan did, you shouldn't have to suffer in silence, there's always someone who you can talk to.
Suicidal thoughts are like being pushed to the edge of a building by someone while your pushing backwards trying not to be pushed off, your body is mentally self destructing while everything in your body is telling you to just end it all why your scrambling trying to fight back and convince yourself why you shouldn't, all the while you have thoughts whizzing around your head and you feel like your life is crumbling around you, overthinking every little scenario to the point where you feel like everyone would just be better off without you, like everyone is looking at you differently to everyone else and every comment every movement you make is being judged and isn't normal, I realise I got a bit off track at the end there and was a bit more personal to my struggles
They haven’t yet aired this episode in Canada but I knew this was going to happen. My God, I can’t stop crying. Kudos to all the actors for doing a great job. No one overacted, everyone hit just the right note.
I don't often watch TV, but as someone who lost my dad and a good friend to male suicide I felt compelled to. This may be a soap but it's a reality for so many people. I think Corrie handled this storyline so well and so sensitively! It can affect so many people in real life with being a big killer of males and with so many people suffering in silence. I hope it encourages others to speak out and removes the stigma. It will also help to educate people and get them talking openly about the topic. This episode captured the harrowing reality of the aftermath brilliantly... the reactions of grief, despair, devastation, disbelief, different points of view etc! Remember that nobody is powerless, helpless, alone or unloved! 💞
To all the Corrie actors you are such strong and brilliant actors you are giving a big message away here even if this storyline was hard to make you still pushed your way through it. I have been on this stage where I wanted to take my own life i managed to overcome the negativity but still suffering with anxiety which I find to be very challenging each day.
I know he had very bad depression but what caused it? I know it's something that can just come on you but with Aidan was it anything particular or just came on him.
Man that plays Johnny is an incredible actor. Stole the show. Such realism. Brought back my PSTD watching it. :( No one wants to experience suicide, believe me. :( The damage it does is beyond horrific - a living nightmare the people left behind can never wake up from. It can kill others too and grief is known to shorten people's life spans, ESPECIALLY parents.
Usually I comment on characters and their faults such as cheating and lying but I have to say last nights episode was the best I have ever watched in the 10 years I have been watching corrie, everything from everyone's reaction to Aidan's death to David finally opening up to Shona about Josh raping him. Gail's monologue though was simply great, mental health can seriously affect peoples personal lives and happy that it has become a huge topic in todays society over the last few years. Well done to everyone who wrote this storyline not to mention the fabulous cast that were involved last night, great work guys/girls!!
I have absolutely had so much respect for the writers for doing this, and so much of it is so true to life. The reactions, all of it, it felt so close to home. One thing I don’t think many people thought about was how the news was delivered. Usually you wouldn’t tell someone close to the deceased the specifics, you’d say “They passed away” or “They’ve died” but with suicide, no matter how many variations, people say “they killed themselves” I remember my relative died of suicide and I don’t remember hearing anyone even use the word “dead” or anything like it. It was always “suicide” or “killed himself”... it might seem small, but it’s as if it’s different. When my grandad died of cancer, the word cancer wasn’t used every time someone talked about his death, yet suicide was in my other relatives. It’s so sad to think that’s how they are always remembered. There’s never an encounter with someone who can talk about him without them saying “it’s a shame, he had so much going for him” as though all his other achievements meant nothing. Bravo to Corrie for doing this. Just because people don’t like talking about it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
Omg that was a very sad story line about Adrian's suicide that was so sad 😔 because I had two friends that commit suicide that's why I was crying at that sence RIP Adrian we will miss you (in the TV show) 😭😙
I found this scene truely distressing last night but its good their doing this storyline especially since its going to save soo many lives just wish it wasn't Aiden 😢
I will really miss Aidan / Shayne . But I think the storyline was done in a amazing way . I love how everyone has a different opinion and feeling on suicide , which is shown in Corrie from some finding him selfish to so who know he wanted to do what’s best . I prefer Emmerdale but Corrie is amazing too . Three things have came out of this storyline so far 1. starting conversation in the show and in real life 2. Bringing friendships and relationships closer 3. Helping David
This storyline was dealt with so well. No gruesome details of how or even why he took his own life. Who knows? And thats real. It was real in the sense of not knowing why anyone chooses to do this final action, and the people left behind in utter shock and disbelief with grief wrapped up all together. Amazing build up, in writing and acting over months, even about a year in aidans story before this culmination of his mental health. As a depression sufferer myself and an avid corrie fan especially, I never saw it coming. I however have contemplated but never attempted suicide. I felt Like aidan was someone i felt that i knew after watching 5 times a week on TV . Like anyone i know in real life who can take their own life in an instant and i wouldn't guess they were suffering. 2 years later im still affected by this storyline and sadly 2 men that i know of have taken their lives. The statistics of male suicide are astounding. Stay aware if you can . Its tough in any case. But men are "supposed to be tough" so thats why i think they struggle more. Rip to any who have taken this path xxx
The way they have done this is very well put they have brought a lot mixed emotion from different people but the story line I think will help others see that men do go through this horrible thing to
Just sitting there thinking everything is good not knowing his son dead next door only minutes later Johnny world crashes down on him...acting but damn good acting and very touchy subject but we'll done Corrie
I know this video is about aiden but gotta admit I love the little moment with David and Maria it just shows how much David cares about her and how much of a good friend they are to each other i know it sounds a bit messed but I'm hoping at some point maybe now or next year or somat that they end up together and R.I.P aiden you will be missed
Joe Atkinson still tho its a nice moment for them both and he was there for her whilst she was crying and screaming in the middle of the street lol and yeah it's about time he's finally told someone now I hope shona tells the street or even the police so josh can rot in a cell for the shit he did to David
LornaFitzgerald Fan true she's probably the worst character besides Tracy lol but still a nice moment for her and David it just shows how much of a good friend they are to each other
Avon Blake glad u agree with me yeah Maria is 1 of the worst characters but her and David have always been friends and have always been their for each other i really hope they get closer as the show goes on and I recon that kiss David gave Maria will be the start of a new relationship
I have a theory on how Aidan died. My bet is his gone into the bathroom after writing the letter and hung himself either that or his slit himself. Either way this storyline is absolutely heartbreaking, and Aidan is a very good Actor who is impacted probably so many people. The scenes were very well done and I really hope Aidan gets a reward it must of took a lot for him and his onscreen family to act out this storyline. So many people have died from commiting suicide because they don't speak up or there afraid of how people will judge them. If you are reading this and you are one of those people. Please don't be afraid to ask for help, it might look hard to do but it can save your life and many others. I really hope the Connor family can pull through and try to understand why Aidan did what he did. My childhood hero Chester Bennington died last year after hanging himself and it was very heartbreaking for me because I grew up with the band and thier music. So to watch these scenes knowing that was hard for me. Don't be afraid to ask for help. PLEASE!!!!
I think he hung himself because of Carla and Johnnys reactions.. Very obvious he was dead. If he OD, his first response would've been to wake him up or revive him but he was just like "what have you done". If he slit himself, Johnnys clothes would've been bloody I would think as he was crying on him.
While I don't think how he did it matters, in my mind I always assumed he took an overdose and drowned in the bath, but thankfully the details were never put out there, and that whole episode was extremely well done and for those who say Coronation Street isn't what it used to be, this episode (and Sinead's death) are two prime examples of how good Coronation Street can be without being all bells and whistles 😢😢. Superb acting overall ❤👏👏
Perhaps the days of Oates are waring off if this scene is anything to go by. The pacing and the acting are some of the best on the show in years (aside from Maria's, but give and take). They're handling this subject with the tact and subtlety it deserves. I've never been happier to be wrong. When the Phelan bullshit ends, it's nothing but blue skies for Corrie's quality and merit as a TV show.
Surgé Land Oats produced this storyline though, people can say what they like but if she’s stopped at least one suicidal man through her work she can leave with her head held high in my opinion
Well, the thing is, I have to qdmit I kind of like her mission statement. She says that Corrie, at the moment is a critique of masculinity in society and David and Aidan's storyline do a great job as such. However, she constantly undermines this mission statement with total misogynistic garbage like the Phelan story. Which, as well as a shit storyline with poor pacing and dogshit writing, is also a mqle power fantasy. What I meant was that it's unfortunate that she had to go under pressure before her work was worth the time of day.
I’m not a Corrie fan at all but well done to the producers for spreading a big stigma with men when it comes to expressing their true feelings. My American football team support a mental health charity called CALM and I’m proud to support the charity every year with an annual fundraiser before the super bowl. Once again well done to all involved in this storyline.
People have said Aiden dies of a overdose, now I didn't see him going out like that, and if this very clever on the writters if this was the attention, he did of an overdose, but not of drugs, but and overdose of water, "drown himself in the tub" u can tell from 2 key details the drip of faint tap at the beginning, and of course the not involving the bathtub.
but surely if he drowned himself there would be more water in these scenes. wouldn't johnny's instinct be to pull him out of the water? or at least touch him or something? but johnny is bone dry afterwards.
maybe but it's a small bathroom by the looks of it. there would be at least a bit of water on the floor outside, or we'd hear water splashing. although i suppose they wouldn't want to make it that obvious.
Acting in these soaps are always so laughable, but fuck me majority of the cast in the episode were brilliant. David's acting was top notch and Johnny's delivery when he found Aiden was surreal, you could really feel the pain of a family finding the body of a loved one.
This is so hard for me to watch. When I was 14 years old I was getting bullied really at school and I actually considered suicide. I was just sitting I on my bed holding a knife staring at my wrist. If my mum hadn't walked in just as I was about to do it I wouldn't be here right now.
A beautiful made episode. Very touching and educating one. Many people suffer alone. This opens the debate for mental health issues in a big way. Thank you Corrie for such a brilliant story line
Sometimes men just can't go on anymore... Iv known great people that have ended their time on this earth.. great men that had everything ahead of them but no one knows whats happening in a persons head..
Aidan's suicide is a very sad storyline, but a very important one. Respect to Corrie for always tackling the dark storylines.
NK HHH True :(
Stop saying what ever one else says it's getting boring
Na they did it for shock and views
I’ve genuinely never been more impressed with acting or execution in a soap than in this episode
100% agree
Heartbreaking. His father's screams of: "Baby,Baby!" killed me. Thsi story is so sad but at the same time very important. I'm glad Corrie told it.
He was saying my boy not baby
@@maxieface4 Sounded like “Aidan baby what have you done”
Never realised he said that until I read your comment then listened out for it
Aidan was literally one of my favourite characters, ever since he first arrived. His emotion and acting was so on point. His storylines with Maria and Eva, his kidney... can't believe he's gone. My heart is broken. 💔

Well done to all involved.
Very sad scenes tonight, good to see Coronation Street making people more aware of depression and suicide, Aiden will be missed a lot though :(
I was in tears all the way through this episode. Very sad and heartbreaking. Great performance by actor who plays Johnny.
Possibly one of the most saddest episodes of Corrie ever great job to show how suicide can affect anyone
Brandon Jackson so true 😔
I know that this Storyline is going to help someone. In the US I don't remember seeing Suicide Storylines but I remember on Degrassi High Archie "Snake" Simpson found Claude Tanner's Body.

laminage and now Kristoff is dead too!
I'm honestly devastated aidan had to go this way. But at least he did the story justice. I'm gonna miss him. It was amazing but sad.😢
Johnny's scream got me, that was heartbreaking
So sorry for last lovely men

This storyline breaks my heart. I’ll miss Aidan 💔
That blood curdling moment when Johnny screamed!
was so sad but by far the best storyline yet if this can help people talk about there feeling then we can all save lives
This was a really sad episode, the devastation of all the Conners especially Johnny, Eva etc. Shayne Ward did a really great job as Aidan Conner during the short time I've been watching this programme, and Coronation St for this hard hitting storyline.

I come back to this every time I get back in that mindset.. Unfortunately I still have to come back, even after the years.
I've been crying like a baby after tonights episode
This scene completely broke me😞
They haven’t yet aired this episode in Canada but I knew this was going to happen. My God, I can’t stop crying. Kudos to all the actors for doing a great job. No one overacted, everyone hit just the right note.
They do. We’re a few episodes behind the UK.
I cried so much watching this episode. The most powerful episode I have seen from a soap ever
R.I.P Aidan 😭
Say hi to Kylie & other in heaven of coronation street character 😇😢😭🙁
JOHNNY Walker I know rip all of the fellow Corrie stars😭🙏🏻
This whole episode had me in tears! i couldn't stop crying! The acting was so moving and powerful! RIP AIDEN!
This was truly heartbreaking 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Maria and Eva will be heart broken 💔💔😭😭
I’m so glad he left Eva that ring,
I think it was his way of telling her she was ‘The one’😭😩🤧💔.
So heart breaking..
I literally can't get Johnny's screams out of my head 💔😭
R.I.P Aidan we will all miss you always :(
This has to be the single best episode of Corrie in past years
WOw to see Johnny break down at the thought of leaving his son
Michelle telling Carla that she loved her made me cry😭❤️.
Get a grip!!😡
I don't often watch TV, but as someone who lost my dad and a good friend to male suicide I felt compelled to. This may be a soap but it's a reality for so many people.

seriously kate,could you not tell from Roys reaction that something was up?
To all the Corrie actors you are such strong and brilliant actors you are giving a big message away here even if this storyline was hard to make you still pushed your way through it.
I have been on this stage where I wanted to take my own life i managed to overcome the negativity but still suffering with anxiety which I find to be very challenging each day.
So depressing but I hope men can open up to there feelings after this
We all can but it's having to deal with it through our lives that is the problem.
P Ferreira true but people are too scared to live there lives in this position
@James Bradby Don't give up. Always try during the day. Start in the morning to try to get through.
James Bradby talk to your parents
@James Bradby Yeah do what Joshua said.
I feel sorry for Aidan. His father is leaving for Spain. He can’t see his son. Eva rejected him.
Jamie Holmes he had nothing
I know he had very bad depression but what caused it? I know it's something that can just come on you but with Aidan was it anything particular or just came on him.
Very emotional scenes tonight i was so upset
I’m not a soap fan, but the way Corrie handled the topic of suicide was very well done! 👏🏽
He drowned himself you can hear the tap dripping
You would hear water splashing then and Johnny would of been wet. I think it was either hanging or overdose more likely.
absolutely brilliant couldn't stop crying .
This storyline absolutely broke me - when an actor can reduce you to tears because their acting is so believable....that's brilliant.
I'm probably thinking that Summer is going to be crushed by Aidan's death is she?
Jonathan Kiuvu she will be heavily affected 😔
Lina 17 yeah she will😢😢
given how long I've battled depression and the rollercoaster I've been through, seeing this episode really ripped my soul open
i hope you are alright
I'm shivering :(

Last night 7 million people tuned into this episode, and it really shows.
lee van cleef you try and get 7 million people to watch your shit in this world of ever growing media
This storyline was dealt with so well. No gruesome details of how or even why he took his own life. Who knows? And thats real.

He took his own life because he felt it was the only option, like most people
Thank you for doing this!! Something that happens everyday and finally being talked about, as sad as it is! Corrie done is beautifully ❤
The way they have done this is very well put they have brought a lot mixed emotion from different people but the story line I think will help others see that men do go through this horrible thing to
Just sitting there thinking everything is good not knowing his son dead next door only minutes later Johnny world crashes down on him...acting but damn good acting and very touchy subject but we'll done Corrie
The impact this had on David was huge. Aiden's death essentially saved his because i'm pretty sure he was on the edge of killing himself as well
Kinda feel like Aidan’s suicide became a bit of plot device for David and his trauma tbh. They still dealt with it pretty well though
Poor Johnny & Kate 😪😢
I know this video is about aiden but gotta admit I love the little moment with David and Maria it just shows how much David cares about her and how much of a good friend they are to each other i know it sounds a bit messed but I'm hoping at some point maybe now or next year or somat that they end up together and R.I.P aiden you will be missed

Reece Cook I like Maria, I don’t think she’s a bad character at all. She just needs better storylines
David is so bloody supportive and Daniel xx #davidplattforlife

@SPLice 2K18 No there was no water splash sounds it was either hanging or overdose.
Corrie have done this storyline well
this is a nightmare for his family
Sensational acting from Richard Hawley as Johnny. One of the “truest” stories ever seen on soap.
RIP Aidan😭😭
Why do all the good people die? There's kylie, aiden, and lots more😭😭
This is so heartbreaking
Soap awards going to have a hard job.
This was so real and so well done by everyone involved
Jonny been threw more sheet in family affairs Chanel 5 legend

Was I the only one who burst out crying?
I still cry at This
I cried when I saw it he has tacked his life omg
I was nearly in tears when i watched this
Aidan's suicide is quite sad. my favourite character.
Perhaps the days of Oates are waring off if this scene is anything to go by. The pacing and the acting are some of the best on the show in years (aside from Maria's, but give and take). They're handling this subject with the tact and subtlety it deserves. I've never been happier to be wrong. When the Phelan bullshit ends, it's nothing but blue skies for Corrie's quality and merit as a TV show.
Surgé Land Oats produced this storyline though, people can say what they like but if she’s stopped at least one suicidal man through her work she can leave with her head held high in my opinion
Samia Longchambon was great in the scene when Maria sees the ambulance and breaks down
Well, the thing is, I have to qdmit I kind of like her mission statement. She says that Corrie, at the moment is a critique of masculinity in society and David and Aidan's storyline do a great job as such. However, she constantly undermines this mission statement with total misogynistic garbage like the Phelan story. Which, as well as a shit storyline with poor pacing and dogshit writing, is also a mqle power fantasy. What I meant was that it's unfortunate that she had to go under pressure before her work was worth the time of day.
Surgé Land I like how The Aiden/David story’s tangle with one another, powerful scene here, actually chocked me up a little bit to be fair
Surgé Land Plus I think Oats clicked on with all the Phelan hate, that’s why he’s been off screen for a while nown
please post gail’s speech xxx
I’m not a Corrie fan at all but well done to the producers for spreading a big stigma with men when it comes to expressing their true feelings. My American football team support a mental health charity called CALM and I’m proud to support the charity every year with an annual fundraiser before the super bowl. Once again well done to all involved in this storyline.
I don't get it it says no views but 170 people like it
Well done to coronation street on job well done on the storyline
People have said Aiden dies of a overdose, now I didn't see him going out like that, and if this very clever on the writters if this was the attention, he did of an overdose, but not of drugs, but and overdose of water, "drown himself in the tub" u can tell from 2 key details the drip of faint tap at the beginning, and of course the not involving the bathtub.
but surely if he drowned himself there would be more water in these scenes. wouldn't johnny's instinct be to pull him out of the water? or at least touch him or something? but johnny is bone dry afterwards.
electricmohair well Johnny could have done that in the bathroom
maybe but it's a small bathroom by the looks of it. there would be at least a bit of water on the floor outside, or we'd hear water splashing. although i suppose they wouldn't want to make it that obvious.
Acting in these soaps are always so laughable, but fuck me majority of the cast in the episode were brilliant. David's acting was top notch and Johnny's delivery when he found Aiden was surreal, you could really feel the pain of a family finding the body of a loved one.
Poor Johnny was in pieces seeing some thing so sad happen to his son
This is so hard for me to watch. When I was 14 years old I was getting bullied really at school and I actually considered suicide. I was just sitting I on my bed holding a knife staring at my wrist. If my mum hadn't walked in just as I was about to do it I wouldn't be here right now.
This was terrible I knew it was coming but was still shocking and upsetting
A beautiful made episode. Very touching and educating one. Many people suffer alone. This opens the debate for mental health issues in a big way. Thank you Corrie for such a brilliant story line
😢😢😢😢😢😭
THIS BASICALLY SHOWS YOU CAN STILL HAPPY AS EVER AND STILL TAKE YOUR OWN LIFE - ANYONE WHO SEE'S THIS STAY SAFE ❤️
But he wasn’t happy, that’s the point. He just made out like he was, cos he didn’t want anyone to know what he was really feeling
@@PBL187 ik
Rip Aidan
Now everyone just forgotten him n Johnny 😢
Carla had to hold the telly. too awful what is in my mind right now.
So sad xxx
The note says ‘don’t go in the bathroom’ and he goes straight in there.
To be fair I’d have done the same out of curiosity
@@Rebecca_Bailey Why if the sign says don’t?
@@BiignoseMiidget he knows Aiden has likely hurt himself when he reads that note and wants to see if there is anything he can do.
Sometimes men just can't go on anymore... Iv known great people that have ended their time on this earth.. great men that had everything ahead of them but no one knows whats happening in a persons head..
I Love Johnny I did meet Him in Town
