Storylines[]
1993: Arrival, relationship with Mandy, depression and departure[]
Irish sixteen-year-old Aidan is first seen in January 1993 as an apprentice footballer for Walford Town FC.
However, just as everyone in Albert Square thought they had seen the back of Aidan and Mandy, Mandy persuades Aidan to return to Walford again in June 1993. Upon returning, Mandy and Aidan are homeless so they break into Pete Beale's vacant flat and attempt to claim squatters rights, which only lasts days before Grant and Phil Mitchell remove them leading to Aidan hitting Grant in frustration.
In October 1993, they both find employment at the First Til Last grocery store on Bridge Street but, when the job falls through, they begin to go into decline. Soon after, Aidan hears that his grandmother has died but because they are unable to reach him, he only discovers the news on the day of her funeral. Aidan learns on his return that Richard Cole has started a smear campaign in his absence, wrongly accusing him and Mandy of being behind a series of robberies around the Square. Everyone begins to turn against them, Grant even roughs Aidan up when he accuses him of stealing from The Queen Vic and Aidan becomes increasingly ill and depressed.
Mandy had found them a new squat in the boiler room at the top of a tower block on the estate that Mandy grew up on. After reading that his parents are disowning him, Aidan's depression gets so bad that he attempts suicide on Christmas Day 1993 by contemplating jumping off the tower block. He says he is going back to Ireland for good, without her, to reconcile with his parents. Mandy tells Aidan that she loves him as he walks away but he carries on walking away to head to the ferry port, never to see Mandy again.
In 2011, Mandy returned to Albert Square after seventeen years away and asked Ian Beale if he ever heard from Aidan and Ian said no.
