'Emmerdale' Danny Miller: 'Not guilty verdict would be worse for Aaron'

Emmerdale star Danny Miller has admitted that a guilty verdict would be the best option for his character Aaron Livesy at his forthcoming murder trial.

This week's episodes of the ITV1 soap see Aaron's future in jeopardy as the legal case surrounding his boyfriend Jackson Walsh's death is finally examined in court.

Earlier this year, Aaron helped Jackson to die after he repeatedly insisted that he no longer wished to continue living with his spinal cord injury, which had left him paralysed from the neck down.

However, as the trial develops, Aaron slowly finds himself agreeing with the prosecution's case until he finally decides that he did the wrong thing.

Speaking to Emmerdale's official website about the possible outcomes for Aaron, Miller commented: "If he was found guilty and he went to prison, I think he'd be alright because at the end of the day, he would just keep his head down and I think he would just know that he deserves to be there. And he wants to be there - to be punished for what he's done to Jackson.

"If he's found not guilty, it will be a slippy, slippy slope for him because then he has to begin life outside of prison without any punishment - and adjusting to life without Jackson."

He added: "I think it would be worse off for him to be found not guilty than guilty."

Emmerdale's trial verdict will air in Thursday night's double bill.
