I'm so tired of that idiot on Digital Spy who keeps defending Aaron at every turn and bringing up Robert scaring Victoria into mutism 11 years ago (when she stopped being angry with him about it after like a day after the truth about the affair came out to Jack). Over and over and over to remind people of how "evil" Robert is, when it isn't like anyone at that cesspool likes Robert anyway. Aaron is a thug - he nearly killed someone for no apparent reason not that long ago, and he kept quiet about Katie to save his own neck, even when he knew Andy might kill himself.
Why not just own up to this and say you like the character anyway, instead of endlessly going on about evil Robert and poor precious Aaron and how Robert was so mean to Aaron's mommy and daddy and tried to kill them (frankly they've been so awful this year, between hitting Aaron and nearly driving him to suicide, it's hard to keep pushing that narrative)? It's OK if you like a character who is not a saint. And Aaron, regardless of what the show may claim, is not a saint.
The only reason anyone even gives a damn about Aaron outside of some hardcore fans from 5 years ago is because of the Aaron/Robert story, and that's in spite of the show's best efforts to derail the whole thing in favor of boo hoo Aaron and 500000 scenes of the disgusting White family smirking it up and throwing themselves pity parties.
