John then asked Kathleen to leave them alone for a moment, as Aidan told him: &#8220;You!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Why? Why did you have to start talking?&#8221; John told him, sparking fears he was going to do something bad. &#8220;I loved you, more than you ever did me,&#8221; he told Aidan, &#8220;I tried to show you how much you needed me&#8230; I saved you. It was only because you were too weak that it ended like us&#8230; It wasn&#8217;t like that &#8211; I save people. It&#8217;s what I do, it&#8217;s who I am.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">John then went on to tell Aidan about Aaron and how much he loves him.

I wanted something painless so you&#8217;d just drop off but my mum wouldn&#8217;t leave me alone so this is all I could grab,&#8221; he said before silencing the machine and injecting the liquid. However, at the last minute, he couldn&#8217;t do it &#8211; but Aidan suffered a cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">It has now been revealed that Aidan is played by an actor called Geoff Dignan, but he slipped back into a coma after the heart attack. Whilst he&#8217;s not dead, does this show Aidan&#8217;s days are numbered in the Dales?<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">John recalled previously of what happened between him and Aidan: &#8220;I tried my best to save him. I told him I could but I was lying, I had to. I could see the fear in his eyes. I held his hand as he slowly slipped away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Aidan thought I could save him and I let him down. I can never forgive myself for that.&#8221; We also know that John has tried to save multiple people, including Nate who eventually was killed by John in a shock twist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Like this story?
