Backstory[]
Aaron met and married Diana and together they have twins, Miles and Sally. They were once a happy family until Aaron became an alcoholic, and abusive towards Diana, causing a strain in their marriage.
Storylines[]
Aaron and his wife Diana had marital difficulties due to Aaron’s alcoholism and domestic abuse.
Diana threatened to leave, taking the twins with her. Aaron ran away with Miles in the night, leaving Sally with Diana as he felt the road was no place for her.
In 1988, Aaron learned of the death of Diana and her new husband Derek Wilson in a boating accident and tried to reclaim the orphaned Sally.
He and Miles tried to track down his Diana’s mother, Mrs. Keating in a nursing home where she had been diagnosed with Alzheimer Disease.
He learned through her carers that Sally had been fostered by Pippa and Tom Fletcher who had moved to Summer Bay.
After he and Miles tracked down Sally in the Bay but after learning about the Fletchers, Aaron decided Sally was better off with them.
Aaron died in 2000 after years of alcoholism caught up with him.
