Aaron returned to the village in October and lashed out at many of his friends, family and former allies.
He was particularly unhappy to be reunited with Chas, believing that her affair with Al Chapman sparked the chain of events that caused the death of his sister Liv last year.
Last month, Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw tipped Chas for a big storyline in 2024, which could prove to be a turning point for her and Aaron.

Shaw told Digital Spy and other media: "There's a huge story coming up for Chas in the new year that's going to be shocking for all her family, friends and villagers around her.
"We know that her and Aaron have got quite a strained relationship at the moment and Aaron's really pushing his mum away.
"This could be the story that maybe brings those two back together and bonds mother and son again. That's all for us to find out in the new year."
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
