Truly one of the greatest pieces of acting ever recorded in soap history! Danny Miller and Pauline Quirke are simply phenomenal! Devastating and brilliant! I watched this on its first airing and cried like I'd lost my own family member and I've watched it a few times since that cold winter's night in 2012 and it never fails to affect me.
agreed, and im re-watching in 2017 (my partner lost battle with cancer aged mid 30's) this was so well done - Marc deserves to come back into soap with regular spot - long enough now, actor needs a big break
Every time I watch this it breaks my heart. The raw emotion behind the performances of the three characters is beyond words. Jackson's final words to Aaron "Please don't forget me" and the anguish in Aaron's face as he gave him the drink - it's just too much. Danny, Marc and Pauline were incredible.
Again, it's amazing how your perspective can change given time. When this was first aired, I remember thinking how selfish Jackson is, how little he cared for the people he loved to put them in this position. Needless to say, the years have passed and I've learned a great deal more. And while some could adapt to this type of life, I know in my heart that I'd be like Jackson, unable to continue suffering for the rest of his life. I also have a greater understanding of just how much Aaron loved him to do this. It takes a lot to overcome your own selfishness and help someone find peace. The acting throughout is just phenomenal. From that desperate plea of Jackson's to him asking Aaron not to forget him. Also, I have to say, Adam is a friend in the truest sense. No matter all the nonsense, he's got Aaron's back no matter what.
I've re-watch this storyline going on my 3rd time now and still, this episode gets me into heavy tears, I never want to be put in a position of what Aaron is embarking on.
The hardest thing is when someone you love the most puts you there. How can you refuse?... No matter how much it hurts you, how do you expect them to go through so much and harder pain, with no such thing as a promise of ever healing?...
Haha this is my third time as well. Because I'm so hooked up into Robert and Aaron and I want to see more Aaron while waiting for the new episodes. And I have to say, Aaron have never put so much love to someone like he had to Jackson.
As a writer myself I have to congratulate whoever wrote this story line. I was executed to perfection, it had a natural pace and nothing was force. Everything that has happened since Aaron and Jackson met (or since Aaron tried to kiss Adam) has been building up to this conclusion. I can say a lot about this story line critically but I'm not gonna. And the actors that play Aaron, Jackson and Hazel, BRAVO!!! They did an amazing job of bringing their script to life!
Two people I''ve known well have committed doctor assisted suicide due to unfathonable pain in the past year. I saw this clip years ago and re-visted it today. It's simply devastating. I'm a 75 year old man but I'll be in tears for the rest of the day.. The acting job of these three was incredible.
Oh man, haven't seen this in ages! In a couple of minutes, I remember everything about them. Also remembered my state of mind when I initially watched it. I was a wreck. I cried for days. Marc did an excellent portrayal of Jackson. Now it makes me wanna watch their whole relationship again. Sigh...
I still can't believe Jackson made Aaron or Hazel do that! It destroyed Aaron! Aaron had enough messing with his head and then he has to deal with this! He's not even 20 years old and he has carry around this on top of the rest that he's had to go through in his life! On top of what his dad did to him, his abandonment issues, etc.! This is too much! Too much for anyone to have to go through in his life! Jackson had no right making them do that! If you are so bad off you want to die, fine, but don't take the people you love along with you! Don't destroy them! Aaron has been through hell, he has enough issues to deal with, but having this on his hands, killing someone..even when they wanted you to kill them, especially someone you love, it's to much for anyone to deal with, especially a guy that's still technically a teenager! Jackson prepared everything else, why couldn't he have had a flipping table or some type of cup so he could drink it himself instead of having Hazel and Aaron hold the cup and pour it down his throat!
Lydia Lovato ? Not sure what you are asking? But if you are asking how he died, he got Aaron and Hazel, Jackson's mother, to kill him! Assisted suicide because he couldn't do it himself because he was paralyzed from the shoulders down, could only move his head and neck! He was in so much emotional and psychological pain and Aaron and Hazel couldn't help him! They tried so hard to help him see that his life was worth living, even paralyzed from the neck down! They couldn't watch him waste away in spirit, mind and body! I don't blame Jackson for his reaction to being paralyzed from the neck down! I don't blame him for wanting to die! Not sure if I would have the same reaction because I'm more of a thinker than a physical person, but Jackson was a hands on doer sort of person! He couldn't handle being paralyzed for the rest of his life! And some people can't! The only thing I blame him for, and hate so much that he did, is dragging his mother and Aaron into this, basically forcing them to go along with it or watch him waste away in pain and misery, and making them be the ones to kill him rather than figuring out a way to keep them a clean in this and psychologically unharmed as possible! It was all about Jackson and how he felt and what he wanted! He didn't think twice about how this would affect the one that actually killed him, psychologically! If he did he, he would have made a decision on how to do his suicide without putting his death directly on their conscious! He put his blood on their hands and fucked them up in the heads! I am pissed at Jackson for that!
They would be the only two that would do it though because they (storyline) were that close to him. His dad wouldn’t have done it he’d have had him sectioned and made it 100 times worse for him psychologically,, he had no one close enough in the storyline, that knew his struggles and understood it. No one would want to live like that, I’d beg for that release of death as well.
Let´s get this straight: - Pauline: perfection - Danny: perfection - Marc and Jackson´s last words: perfection - Writting: perfection Best episode ever on tv? NO doubt
I'm crying a river and my tears are made of blood.. Just..THANK YOU to all who made that happen, surely my heart is broken but I've learnt a valuable lesson!
People saying "boring", "they should go to jail", "Jackson is selfish" and people that are not capable of undertanding these characters situations and suffering, need to get over it: this is not the typical crap and superficial soap, it´s above all that. British soaps and specially Emmerdale are good tv, not basic shows Pauline, Marc and Danny were superb. They need to win not only some awards like they have done to date, they need to win every possible awards in the UK
l'acteur qui a incarné le rôle de Jackson dans cette merveilleuse série a fait preuve d'un grand talent ...Ce passage m'a fait tant pleuré ,personnellement , j'ai une amère nostalgie pour cette épisode de ma vie.Thank you for sharing this unforgettable and sad moment .
I'm watching this again, and still after all these years I cry. Some of the greatest acting ever in any Soap ... and Aaron was so young and yet so brilliant. The brilliance of his acting elevates all the other characters to some of heir best ever work. I contrast the incredible dialogue and writing with the rubbish that were getting in Emmerdale now. Aaron's acting is still brilliant but the story-lines and dialogue today are just a pale imitation of these past great days.
@sanyrub LOVE that you've ALWAYS been focused on praising the performances of the actors involved in this continuing storyline and NOT about "what's missing" or "wrong" or "lacking". A great observer of what's onscreen and not what's inside your fantasy.
Whatever you think about assisted suicide - this was done w/ EXCELLENCE!! I am floored by the quality of acting, direction, & writing. It actually opened my eyes to see how someone could assist a loved one who wants to die. Jackson's obvious plea and pain for an end to his life was heart breaking - and I'm not even his BF. I am in awe of this episode. This is cinematic quality - way beyond what I've come to expect w/ a soap! The imagery was beautiful and direction superb. I have to watch again!
OMG, this must be the best episode ever. The acting, the writing, everything was fantastic. I really really hope that Marc Silcock will be awarded for his wonderful performance throughout this entire storyline and especially in this episode, same goes for Pauline Quirke. Danny brillant as usual. This show is among the best I've ever seen on TV in my entire life and believe me, I've seen a hell of a lot.
Bravo to Danny and Pauline (and Marc) for reaching inside of me and pulling out feeling after feeling. Anger, pity, sadness, disgust, happiness... Many times characters, events and stories only effect you on the outside and are only in your thoughts for a day or so. I know this will be something I think of forever. Even though Jackson is only a fictional character, I hope he is resting at peace.
Crying buckets here, completely heartbroken. But god those actors deserve applause... I may not agree with what they've done with the storyline, but that acting was incredible.
It killed me to see Jackson (Marc) go like this.... But it would've hurt even more to watch him suffer through depression and self-hate..... I wouldn't have been able to go on as long as he did as a tetraplegic....😔😞😭😩
thank you thank you thank you so much for uploading Aaron/Jackson's story, and thanks for uploading it so quickly - you are a star Lots of love from your biggest fan in Denmark :D
few weeks ago so many of us were getting fed up with the never ending story line, today we all are crying like babies. Well done to the writters and congrats to the actors for their outstanding work.
ED producers, thank you for giving us Jackson Walsh. At the same, I so f**king hate you guys for taking him away from Aaron, from us. I'm a broken man now. RIP Jackson. :(
Stunning performances all round. The acting was so believable that it nearly broke the cage I purposefully built around myself so that I don't cry my eyes out. Farewell Jackson, I was already mourning your loss months until this incident but there's something palpable about the reality of it facing you head on.
I'm a sniveling wreck right now - I had no idea a soap would get to me like this. It seems a bit masochistic, but thank you so much for sharing this with us
Even with the spoilers in the comments section leading up to this episode, I'm still in shock and emotional over this scene.I guess nothing can really prepare you for something like this...but still, much credit to the actors, writers, and director.
This storyline is so emotional and its so upsetting and hollyoaks is one of my favourite TV soaps ever and I met Danny miller who plays aaron and I loved it
Jackson wanted to be put out of his misery he would of lived with bad depression and misery for the rest of his life. He might of even died of a broken heart although it was a really hard tough thing to ask of Aaron and his mother but I understand why he wanted to go as he wanted to die as who he was.
This is as sad and painful to watch now as it was when I watched it first when it aired. At the time I wasn't fond of the storyline because I was expecting to watch a romance like McDean (Hollyoaks) or Chrolli (Verbotene Liebe) but now I can appreciate how brilliantly written and acted this whole storyline was.
And I want to clarify that I haven't been completely on board w/ the direction this story has taken. And there is a part of me that is relieved to see it finally come to an end. But irregardless of how I've felt about the writing, displays of affection, or repeated storylines - I can't argue w/ how WELL this was done. I was completely engrossed in the drama and imagery of it. And I can honestly say that, my bias aside, there's really no arguing with the excellence of how this last bit was told!
EMMERDALE for the win!!! This is so superb I have no words. Can´t oscars be given to a soap? I cried the entire 11 minutes, at times rivers. And after ending the video still crying. This is going to be in my mind for a long time
I think this is a wonderful storyline. I can understand why Jackson wanted to die. What Aaron did was very difficult. I can understand why he did. I asked my son if he thought I could do something like that for someone I loved. He thinks I could. I would find it as difficult as Aaron did. I am sure I will watch this storyline several times. I don't like soaps normally. There is usually to much drama.
i have watched aaron's storyline forever up to a little after the funeral. I love these characters and connected severely deep with them. I still think they did the wrong thing, I would have told him to give it at least a couple years and then if he still wants to go through with it, we'll talk. Life is about sudden change, not always for the better, and it's about adjusting to it... man how I envy those who are watching this for the first time.
So here i am 2 month later.... I just realized that Aaron is moving his body back and forth the whole time, somthing that abused children do alot to comfort them selfs... Just noticed and it really hurt....
Dang dude.. I do this a lot. I thought it was just because it was (and still is) comfortable. I guess what happened to me when I was a little boy really fucked me up.
Aaaand it was at this point I stopped watching soaps regularly. They could have avoided all this and for once had a positive gay relationship in a soap, even if Aaron and Jackson just left the area to have a good life together, but oh no, tragedy HAS to engulf them, and then wrap it up with euthanasia as well. All in the name of sensationalism. In spite of the coyness in which their relationship was portrayed, it was obvious that Jackson was good for Aaron, and could have saved him from his bad boy ways. I was left so distressed by this storyline, and so were my parents. But all kudos must go to the actors, Danny Miller, Marc Silcock and Pauline Quirke, all of whom knocked this out the park.
OMG i have cried so hard that my nose is running, if this doesnt win hazel and aaron an award then i fucking give up. her laying beside him singing to him, Aaron having to do it cause she can't, thinking he killed Jackson, omg this is hard, I WILL NEVER WATCH THIS AGAIN but i love you Jon for all that you did for us with this story, from beginning to end you have been there. you are my hero!! *sobs*
They really delivered...all of it. It's just so sad, and I'm actually glad that I've seen it and it's over. I was starting to feel gittery about watching today. I still can't believe how bad it got! I was blown away. How horrible. There is a lot more drama to come before they can even get to begin healing in any way. But I am glad that the actual death scene is behind us now.
It's been 2years when I first watched this" Amazing" storyline. I still haven't seen a storyline from an American soap opera that can come close to being this powerful.
I rarely post on this channel now (Since Im watching Jon's full ED eps) because of all the QQ about this not being "gay" enough or "how dare they talk about assisted suicide" But I have to say that it was one of the best dramatic performances on a soap I've ever seen. Anyone not crying their eyes out needs to have their heart checked. And this is what soap operas are all about. Causing you to be emotionally attached to the characters is the point. Well done to Danny, Marc and Pauline!
Jackson - Marc Silcock, where is he today, Sept 2021, loved him in Privates, being reshown on BBC atm... great ex actor, such a shame his career faded so soon.
my heart stopped for a second,it brought sad memories for me,..i feel very sick about this but i know its a story that need to shared.i don't think i can go further with watching the series...am done.nice work to the actors
Even though I knew the direction the story was headed I certainly didn’t think they would go through with it. I was hoping for some miraculous recovery. This is so depressing!
This and if you have watched EastEnders Christian and Syed's storyline when Christian kisses Syed's forehead on Syed's Wedding day. Why most of the Gay storylines are so tragic?.
Wow. This was just so incredibly sad. So much pain and suffering for Jackson. For Hazel and Aaron too and it will go on for some time I'm sure. The scene with Hazel holding Jackson tore my heart out. Amazing acting. Bravo, Pauline. I don't know if Jackson's decision was right or wrong but I do believe that because of his situation he had the right to make that decision. I can't blame him for wanting to end the torture of his quadriplegia. Not everyone can endure it.
I been waiting for months for this.This episode was amazing the acting from Marc,Danny,Pauline was amazing.I am glad the whole episode was about Jackson the main focus.I cried and cried i can't stop this so emotional to see.Hazel she couldn't kill her son her crying it just felt so real it was so heartbreaking.Aaron decides to do it.The kiss was so touching.Jackson saying don't forget me.Sobs.Aaron is going to blame himself for a very long time for killing Jackson.
Watch Aaron's storyline they said. It'll be fun they said.
Ledraali I know right now I'm sad and it's all their fault
This is my second time watching it and still gets me. I'm sorry they didn't tell that there would be heart breaking episodes.
unmachined his storyline with Robert up until now broke my damn heart. Way more heartbreaking than this
They lied.😭😭
@@kylie9687 Same still can't believe Robert is gone. I'm watching the story line on 2017 right now
This is the most touching, well-acted, incredible story-line I have ever seen. These actors are simply brilliantly talented.
Truly one of the greatest pieces of acting ever recorded in soap history! Danny Miller and Pauline Quirke are simply phenomenal!
Devastating and brilliant! I watched this on its first airing and cried like I'd lost my own family member and I've watched it a few times since that cold winter's night in 2012 and it never fails to affect me.
Bi-Costal Teacher Still brings tears to my eyes.... Every time.
agreed, and im re-watching in 2017 (my partner lost battle with cancer aged mid 30's) this was so well done - Marc deserves to come back into soap with regular spot - long enough now, actor needs a big break
Bi-Costal Teacher true it’s one of the best acting scenes in emmerdale
so Aaron lost Jackson,
and he lost Robert,
poor boy , im sad for him
So good to know I'm not the only one rewatching this
What happen to Jackson? And Robert?
Now he seems to have a new mate, I hope he will be luckier.
Guido.
@@Guidogregotti New Mate reminds of this one right here!
@@melissashelley2391 Jackson is dead, and Aaron helped him to die, and Robert is in prison for having murdered someone else.
Guido.

Danny Miller was 20 years old in this scene. He's only gotten better (somehow) since.
I've re-watch this storyline going on my 3rd time now and still, this episode gets me into heavy tears, I never want to be put in a position of what Aaron is embarking on.
The hardest thing is when someone you love the most puts you there. How can you refuse?... No matter how much it hurts you, how do you expect them to go through so much and harder pain, with no such thing as a promise of ever healing?...
this is my third time around too. I swore I wouldnt watch beyond the accident but, well, here I am ;( It really is wonderful television though.
Haha this is my third time as well. Because I'm so hooked up into Robert and Aaron and I want to see more Aaron while waiting for the new episodes. And I have to say, Aaron have never put so much love to someone like he had to Jackson.
This

I'm crying a river and my tears are made of blood..
Just..THANK YOU
to all who made that happen, surely my heart is broken but I've learnt a valuable lesson!
‘Please don’t forget me’ 😭😭 I’m in tears
People saying "boring", "they should go to jail", "Jackson is selfish" and people that are not capable of undertanding these characters situations and suffering, need to get over it:
this is not the typical crap and superficial soap, it´s above all that. British soaps and specially Emmerdale are good tv, not basic shows
Pauline, Marc and Danny were superb. They need to win not only some awards like they have done to date, they need to win every possible awards in the UK
Very touching to show Paddy holding and singing to Leo as he stares down towards Jackson's house as he is dying and Paddy doesn't realize it.
l'acteur qui a incarné le rôle de Jackson dans cette merveilleuse série a fait preuve d'un grand talent ...Ce passage m'a fait tant pleuré ,personnellement , j'ai une amère nostalgie pour cette épisode de ma vie.Thank you for sharing this unforgettable and sad moment .
always when i see this episode makes me cry !!!!
OMG. I have never cried this much with any other fiction. I have been crying my eyes out for many episodes now and this was just heart breaking.
I never cried so much over a show, and for so many times.
If you don't continue to watch Aaron's storyline up until his exit then you will miss out on so much ...
This is the most heart-wrenching episode !!
Thank you to the uploader and the amazing cast and crew of this show. I dont know what else to say.
I'm watching this again, and still after all these years I cry. Some of the greatest acting ever in any Soap ... and Aaron was so young and yet so brilliant. The brilliance of his acting elevates all the other characters to some of heir best ever work. I contrast the incredible dialogue and writing with the rubbish that were getting in Emmerdale now.

OMG, this must be the best episode ever. The acting, the writing, everything was fantastic. I really really hope that Marc Silcock will be awarded for his wonderful performance throughout this entire storyline and especially in this episode, same goes for Pauline Quirke. Danny brillant as usual. This show is among the best I've ever seen on TV in my entire life and believe me, I've seen a hell of a lot.
I cried so much when I saw this on ITV :'(
10 years later and this is sitll one of the most heartbreaking deaths in Emmerdales history😍😢😢😢
Simply astounding. This has got to be one of the most brilliant tv moments I've seen in years. Incredible.
I've never cried so much at a soap in my life
RIP, Jackson was the best of all for Aaron
Still not ready for this.
It's too much.
Too much.
I can't.
can't stop crying, just a wonderful episode, great acting!!!
Bravo to Danny and Pauline (and Marc) for reaching inside of me and pulling out feeling after feeling. Anger, pity, sadness, disgust, happiness... Many times characters, events and stories only effect you on the outside and are only in your thoughts for a day or so. I know this will be something I think of forever.
Even though Jackson is only a fictional character, I hope he is resting at peace.
Thank you so much for uploading that was intense fan from USA!
Crying buckets here, completely heartbroken. But god those actors deserve applause... I may not agree with what they've done with the storyline, but that acting was incredible.
This is single handedly the saddest moment on emmerdale of all time. Nothing will beat it. RIP Jackson Feb 2
Standing ovation...
Nothing more to say... Is too heartbroken
It killed me to see Jackson (Marc) go like this.... But it would've hurt even more to watch him suffer through depression and self-hate..... I wouldn't have been able to go on as long as he did as a tetraplegic....😔😞😭😩
*hug* There there.
thank you thank you thank you so much for uploading Aaron/Jackson's story, and thanks for uploading it so quickly - you are a star
Lots of love from your biggest fan in Denmark :D

Fuck I'm tired of crying....
Haha that cracked the hell out of me laughing haha. I wish I was watching this with you :) Then we can both be asleep after crying so much :D haha
ummmh at least i wont be crying alone. you very nice
please, excelent actors, aaron, Jackson and his mom, so excelent, i can´t stop crying
I'm a sniveling wreck right now - I had no idea a soap would get to me like this. It seems a bit masochistic, but thank you so much for sharing this with us
Even with the spoilers in the comments section leading up to this episode, I'm still in shock and emotional over this scene.I guess nothing can really prepare you for something like this...but still, much credit to the actors, writers, and director.
The most saddest death I've ever seen on a soap 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
please don't forget me....OMG....I'm in bits now!
i cant breathe watching this so heartbreaking
This storyline is so emotional and its so upsetting and hollyoaks is one of my favourite TV soaps ever and I met Danny miller who plays aaron and I loved it
Aaron loved Jackson so much. He did what Jackson wanted despite knowing it would destroy himself. He put jackson above himself.
Jackson wanted to be put out of his misery he would of lived with bad depression and misery for the rest of his life. He might of even died of a broken heart although it was a really hard tough thing to ask of Aaron and his mother but I understand why he wanted to go as he wanted to die as who he was.
This is as sad and painful to watch now as it was when I watched it first when it aired. At the time I wasn't fond of the storyline because I was expecting to watch a romance like McDean (Hollyoaks) or Chrolli (Verbotene Liebe) but now I can appreciate how brilliantly written and acted this whole storyline was.
Saddest episode I can remember :( outstandingly phenominal performances from marc, danny and pauline xxx rip jackson
And I want to clarify that I haven't been completely on board w/ the direction this story has taken. And there is a part of me that is relieved to see it finally come to an end. But irregardless of how I've felt about the writing, displays of affection, or repeated storylines - I can't argue w/ how WELL this was done. I was completely engrossed in the drama and imagery of it. And I can honestly say that, my bias aside, there's really no arguing with the excellence of how this last bit was told!
Touching, romantic, sad....
OMG the acting was amazing.
I had to trun away because I could not watch part 2. Very good acting .
EMMERDALE for the win!!! This is so superb I have no words. Can´t oscars be given to a soap? I cried the entire 11 minutes, at times rivers. And after ending the video still crying. This is going to be in my mind for a long time
Thanks for accepting the video response :)
Great acting, long silences, the showing of a new life with a life just lost. Everything was perfect ...well perfectly depressing.
This is the saddest thing I have ever saw
i had to keep pasuing the video i couldnt cope/
Sorry but this is the best show I´ve seen in my life on tv. Best episode ever next to the train crash! EPIC Can´t oscars be given to a soap?
I think this is a wonderful storyline. I can understand why Jackson wanted to die. What Aaron did was very difficult. I can understand why he did. I asked my son if he thought I could do something like that for someone I loved. He thinks I could. I would find it as difficult as Aaron did. I am sure I will watch this storyline several times. I don't like soaps normally. There is usually to much drama.
i have watched aaron's storyline forever up to a little after the funeral. I love these characters and connected severely deep with them. I still think they did the wrong thing, I would have told him to give it at least a couple years and then if he still wants to go through with it, we'll talk. Life is about sudden change, not always for the better, and it's about adjusting to it... man how I envy those who are watching this for the first time.
So here i am 2 month later.... I just realized that Aaron is moving his body back and forth the whole time, somthing that abused children do alot to comfort them selfs... Just noticed and it really hurt....
Dang dude.. I do this a lot. I thought it was just because it was (and still is) comfortable. I guess what happened to me when I was a little boy really fucked me up.
Aaaand it was at this point I stopped watching soaps regularly. They could have avoided all this and for once had a positive gay relationship in a soap, even if Aaron and Jackson just left the area to have a good life together, but oh no, tragedy HAS to engulf them, and then wrap it up with euthanasia as well. All in the name of sensationalism. In spite of the coyness in which their relationship was portrayed, it was obvious that Jackson was good for Aaron, and could have saved him from his bad boy ways. I was left so distressed by this storyline, and so were my parents. But all kudos must go to the actors, Danny Miller, Marc Silcock and Pauline Quirke, all of whom knocked this out the park.
Ed happened, and he was quite positive, despite them moving to France. Robert is happening too, although it's not entirely positive.
i completely lost it when Hazel started singing dream a little dream... i actually started sobbing and gasping for breath
The kiss broke my heart and been crying since
This is a lot of emotions.... Some tears and a lot of emotions.....
OMG i have cried so hard that my nose is running, if this doesnt win hazel and aaron an award then i fucking give up. her laying beside him singing to him, Aaron having to do it cause she can't, thinking he killed Jackson, omg this is hard, I WILL NEVER WATCH THIS AGAIN
but i love you Jon for all that you did for us with this story, from beginning to end you have been there. you are my hero!! *sobs*
Marc, Danny and Pauline we're outstanding here, so emotional. RIP Jackson :(
very hard to watch but amazing acting by all involved
Finally everybody see the reality! Best tv show ever!!!!!
They really delivered...all of it. It's just so sad, and I'm actually glad that I've seen it and it's over. I was starting to feel gittery about watching today. I still can't believe how bad it got! I was blown away. How horrible. There is a lot more drama to come before they can even get to begin healing in any way. But I am glad that the actual death scene is behind us now.
It's been 2years when I first watched this" Amazing" storyline. I still haven't seen a storyline from an American soap opera that can come close to being this powerful.
this storyline is so depressing up to a point where I'm actually really glad that it's finally over.
I rarely post on this channel now (Since Im watching Jon's full ED eps) because of all the QQ about this not being "gay" enough or "how dare they talk about assisted suicide"
But I have to say that it was one of the best dramatic performances on a soap I've ever seen. Anyone not crying their eyes out needs to have their heart checked. And this is what soap operas are all about. Causing you to be emotionally attached to the characters is the point.
Well done to Danny, Marc and Pauline!
WOW!!! I know it's sad and everything, bt im soooooooo GLAD it's over!!!
Jackson - Marc Silcock, where is he today, Sept 2021, loved him in Privates, being reshown on BBC atm... great ex actor, such a shame his career faded so soon.
my heart stopped for a second,it brought sad memories for me,..i feel very sick about this but i know its a story that need to shared.i don't think i can go further with watching the series...am done.nice work to the actors
Even though I knew the direction the story was headed I certainly didn’t think they would go through with it. I was hoping for some miraculous recovery. This is so depressing!
this is literally the first video of Aaron storyline im watching(well incl. part 1) and i am bawling. their fucking acting is next fucking level
That was very emotional. I cant stop crying.
It was hard to watch this... I'm shivering and the tears are welling up. I need to see something cheerful now! :-(
This and if you have watched EastEnders Christian and Syed's storyline when Christian kisses Syed's forehead on Syed's Wedding day. Why most of the Gay storylines are so tragic?.
Thanurshan Solan I don't know, but I'm tired of gay people dying in movies or TV shows!
Wow. I'm speachless. Definitely the most difficult subject matter to digest.
Wow. This was just so incredibly sad. So much pain and suffering for Jackson. For Hazel and Aaron too and it will go on for some time I'm sure. The scene with Hazel holding Jackson tore my heart out. Amazing acting. Bravo, Pauline. I don't know if Jackson's decision was right or wrong but I do believe that because of his situation he had the right to make that decision. I can't blame him for wanting to end the torture of his quadriplegia. Not everyone can endure it.
I kind of stopped watching after the accident. But then I came back and goodness. These actors were brilliant. Even if they made me cry ;_;
I've haven't cried this much since I saw Titanic the first time.
I been waiting for months for this.This episode was amazing the acting from Marc,Danny,Pauline was amazing.I am glad the whole episode was about Jackson the main focus.I cried and cried i can't stop this so emotional to see.Hazel she couldn't kill her son her crying it just felt so real it was so heartbreaking.Aaron decides to do it.The kiss was so touching.Jackson saying don't forget me.Sobs.Aaron is going to blame himself for a very long time for killing Jackson.
I can't even lie this clip made me tear up... omg
