Why Aren't They Doing Much with Aaron?

[Jay]

With all the major cast changes you would think his character would have been given a promotion sorta like Tara is getting but nope.

It's actually kinda getting annoying. It reminds me of how when Coral got half his face blown off or when Maggie just lost Glenn and we barely saw those characters after those 2 events. 2 major events for those characters and they were just ignored. Aaron has had 4 pretty big things happen to him over the last 2 seasons. He lost Eric, He gained a kid, he lost a arm and now he's lost Jesus and maybe we'll get a small line here and there but they never really dig in to his character. Like we've never really had a Aaron focused episode and It feels like now is the time they should start thinking about doing that type of stuff with all the characters either being killed off or written off because someone needs to replace them. People like Eugene, Rosita and Aaron seem like the best choices but at the very least we know why Eugene & Rosita will probably not have a ton of screen time for the rest of the season because Eugene is injured and Rosita is pregnant. Aaron doesn't really have that same issue. Him and Tara should be the ones stepping up right now.

Of the current cast, other than Daryl, Carol and Michonne, who have they done much with? With such a large cast of characters and with every episode seemingly focusing on only one community at a time it’s kinda hard to give characters like Aaron any attention.

Just Tara, Henry and Negan. Judith got a tiny bit.

Look on the bright side, he's not getting killed off. And he had a pretty decent part in episode 7 and 8 and even in the beginning of 9. And there's 6 episodes yet, he might still get a bigger role.

I'm personally glad to see Tara get a big part. All the bandwagon haters and people who say she's "useless and irrelevant to the plot", well, now she's the fucking leader of Hilltop and is getting a big role, so those people can kindly shut the fuck up.

Kang said we will be seeing Aaron and Jesus romance in flashbacks this year.

Tara being the leader of Hilltop is only for her death to make sense when she is piked. But her character deserved more.

Maybe he'll get more after Michonne leaves

You could say that with a lot of the cast though but by and large Aaron has always been ignored much like a few other characters that should have had time to shine.

Gimple should have been replaced years ago.

Tara deserves more? Lmao she had her own bottle episode and most of Oceanside was HER story and now she's leading Hilltop when she should have died years ago. She's a slight improve other Beth at best

Aaron is one of the bright spots at Asz. So they need to show more of him. And please don't turn him into the yes man to you know who.

Wahhhh whine. She's getting a big part because they're forced to, characters are leaving in droves. Bandwagon haters? Sorry but there is no law that says everyone needs to kiss your favorite characters ass. Leader at Hilltop? Hahaha, okay delusional al. That's why when a decision needs to be made everyone looks to Daryl. Now you can STfU with them ;)
