Geoff Dignan, the star who plays Aidan Moore in Emmerdale, has revealed whether we will see the character again in the near future.

Aidan Moore was first mentioned by John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) when his sister Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) discovered the man’s army dog tags. John revealed that he was very close to Aidan when they were in the army, but he sadly died.

Weeks before John and Aaron Dingle’s (Danny Miller) stag do, Vic contacted Connor, an old friend of John’s. When Aidan was mentioned, Connor confirmed that he wasn’t dead, but he was in a coma in hospital.

John managed to create a cover story when confronted by Aaron and Vic, claiming that it was easier for him to pretend Aidan had died, rather than face the fact he was in a coma.

This huge lie was to hide the fact John had been visiting Aidan in hospital for ages. Days before his wedding, John learnt that Aidan had woken up from his coma, therefore increasing the chance of his true self being exposed.

John had planned to kill Aidan, but he wasn’t able to go through with it. Instead, after suffering cardiac arrest, Aidan slipped back into his coma. It was a devastating moment for Aidan’s mum Cathleen but one filled with relief for John, who was in the clear once more.

Following this moment, star Geoff Dignan has revealed whether we could see Aidan again.

On social media platform X, he shared a variety of behind the scenes pictures and wrote alongside: ‘I had an absolute blast playing Aidan Moore in #emmerdale I’ve met great people from the crew to the very talented cast.Thank you to my agent @StarkTalentUK.

‘Who knows what’s in store 4 Aidan, after all it is Emmerdale, he’s woke up once… why not one more time.’

John and Aaron’s wedding was interrupted thanks to Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) returning. He had been released from prison, and was back to try and stop Aaron from marrying his distant relative.

After a confrontation though, Aaron chose John over Robert and they headed off on their honeymoon.

The couple will be in for a shock when they get back, however, as the police now know the body in the lake belongs to Nate Robinson.
