Coronation Street fans believe they have sussed what is going on with new character Aaron, after he was seen rushing off on the ITV soap.
The teen was seen talking with Summer Spellman on Monday night, as she bravely opened up about her body image struggles.
But he sparked concern when he suddenly looked uncomfortable, before rushing off in the middle of a deep conversation.
Summer had met Aaron at a diabetes support group, where the pair bonded about their health issues.
The teens soon met up in recent scenes, as Summer told her friends she had found someone she liked - leaving her ex Aadi Alahan gutted.
So when Summer met Aaron for a chat, she confessed her fears that she had rejected someone who truly loved her for someone who might not be interested.
But Aaron made it clear he was keen to date her too, and that he wasn't put off by them both being in the same support group.
Things took a turn though when Summer decided to bravely speak about her eating disorder, wanting to be honest with him if they were to embark on a romance.
As the conversation went on, Aaron looked panicked and almost like he was hiding something, before he suddenly excused himself and rushed away leaving Summer alone.
Summer had told him: "I've got issues, hang ups about myself."
Aaron asked if she had body images issues, before adding: "Sorry I'm just being nosy, you've only just met me, let's talk about something else."
Summer then confirmed: "I've got an eating disorder. Suddenly I'm not gorgeous. It's the stress of revising nonstop, I hate how I look, how I feel, everything is out of control."
As she then detailed her eating disorder, Aaron looked uncomfortable before telling her: "Look I've got to be somewhere."
He ran off leaving Summer worried, but viewers think they know why he ran and what he might be hiding.
While some fans questioned if he was put off by Summer's honesty, others wondered if he was actually facing a heartbreaking battle of his own.
Taking to Twitter, one fan said: "I wonder if Aaron has an eating disorder himself."
Another fan agreed: "Aaron has issues too then," as a third wrote: "I reckon Aaron has an eating disorder too."
A fourth fan commented: "I wonder if Aaron has one too?"
