Emmerdale - Adam Barton storyline and Aaron Livesy's return

So this is my second post on my blog, as yes people you have guessed it i am sticking in soap land, however i am moving further up the country and focusing this post on Emmerdale. As you may have guessed from the title of this blog it is focusing on Adam Barton's current storyline and the anticipated return of Aaron Livesy.

Adam first made his first screen debut on the 17th July 2009 and was one of the the 5 member of the Barton family who moved into Butlers farm. The Barton family consisted of Moria (Adam's mother) John ( Adam's father), Adam ( himself), Holly ( Adam's sister) and Hannah ( Adam's other sister). This is how the family remained right through to John Barton's death on the 16th February 2012. In the same year viewers saw the departure of Holly and Hannah and buy the middle of 2012 the Barton family went from a family of 5 to a family of just 2.

This only latest for about a year, as in July 2013 viewers and the people of Emmerdale were introduced to the character of Ross Barton. When Ross was first introduced he was initially a unknown character who car-jacked Laurel it wasn't till a few weeks later that the viewers found out who it was and what his connection the the village was. A few months later in October of the same year we were introduced to Ross's father who is that of James Barton who moves into Butlers farm with Moria, Adam and Cain ( who was engaged to Moria). In December of this year the new branch of the Barton family was complete with the introduction of Pete and Finn Barton (brothers of Ross).

Now i have given you the context i am going to fast forward to the last few weeks and the start of one of Adams biggest story lines. 2 weeks ago was Adams 22nd birthday and this is the point that James realised that it was 22 years ago that he had an affair with his brother's wife, Moria Barton. This led to James getting  a paternity test and it leading to reveal to James and us unsuspecting viewers that he is Adams father. At this point i would like to take a moment to apologies if i have just spoilt it for you but to continue it is a vital piece of information. I would also like to put a warning here that what is written below may be a big spoiler to you people who enjoy the land of soap.

So we learn that James is Adams father and the next 2 people to find out is Moria and James girlfriend Chas, who then is begged by Moria not to say anything. This storyline doesn't start to affect Adam until this summer when Adam finally learns that his biological father is really James and not John. This sees Adams life change as he begins to go on a downward spiral.

So now im guessing  your thinking but Sarah where does Aaron fit in to all this. well my wonderful readers this is going to be revealed.

Aaron and Adams relationship was rocky at the start way back in 2009 but through the drug storyline of Holly and many more encounters involving a quad bike and Aaron's gay storyline the grew to become best friends. Aaron departed the soap in 2012 when he was last seen fleeing the police and flying to France because he had taken the wrap for a fire at the garage in the village. This is where this segment finally become relevant, the fire was actually started by Adam as he didn't like the fact that Cain was becoming a more permanent feature in his mothers life. Aaron took the wrap for Adam because he knew that Adam would get a custodial sentence which he didn't deserve.

In the coming months as Adams life starts to take a downward spail, Aaron is due to make a welcomed return to our screens. One question that is on the lips of every soap lover however is why is Aaron coming back to the village?? .... will it be to help his best friend through his rocky time or is it for a completely different reason.

Summer 2014 will be an interesting one in the Yorkshire Dales
