Emmerdale viewers slam Aaron Dingle prison drugs storyline: 'World record addiction rate'
EMMERDALE viewers have ridiculed Aaron Dingle's drugs storyline on Twitter.
Emmerdale’s Aaron suffers drug withdrawal symptoms in prison
In the closing stages of last night's episode, Aaron (played by Danny Miller) accepted a joint from his cellmate.
And, tonight the character already appeared to be suffering withdrawal symptoms as he was seen shaking, sweating and begging for his next hit.
In some surprising scenes, Aaron asked for more cannabis from homophobic thug Jason, who had beaten him up just days before.
By the end of the programme, he was delivering drugs to other inmates in order to support his habit.
Those watching at home questioned how it was possible that Aaron could be addicted so quickly.
This prison storyline all seems a bit rushed
One social media user asked: "#Emmerdale how is it that Aaron has one 'special' cigarette and now he's practically an addict?"
"World record drug addiction rate, less than 24 hours. #emmerdale," another remarked.
Someone else tweeted: "Lol. Aaron had one joint and now he's acting like a full on crack head! #emmerdale."
While a fourth commented: "Aaron becoming a drugie seems to have happened rather quickly. This prison storyline all seems a bit rushed. #emmerdale."
However, others were concerned for the popular character's welfare.
One viewer said: "My heart is breaking for Liv Aaron is clearly taken aback by Liv's words @Isobel_steele @DannyBMiller #Emmerdale."
While another commented: "The bloke playing Aaron is a good actor #Emmerdale."
Emmerdale continues tomorrow night at 7pm on ITV.
