Aaron to hand himself in to the police on Emmerdale?

Emmerdale's returning bad boy Aaron Livesy will consider life on the straight and narrow when he contemplates handing himself in to the police.

In just-released stills from an episode to be shown next week, Aaron (Danny Miller) is seen hovering in the doorway of a police station, looking tense, anxious and indecisive.

His close friend Adam Barton (Adam Thomas) will also be seen pleading with Aaron not to turn himself in and, thinking he has succeeded, he's shocked later to realise where his friend has gone.

Aaron is considering taking the rap for Adam over his involvement in the botched crime job that resulted in Donna Windsor's (Verity Rushworth) death. But will he be able to go through with it? And will Adam let him take the blame?

The scenes will screen on Emmerdale on ITV on Wednesday, August 27.
