The 17-year-old star - who plays Oliver Morgan in the Channel 4 soap - has joked he is keen for more screen time with the show's newcomer, who plays buff Sylver McQueen, because he would like to show him what a real ripped body looks like.
When asked who he would like more 'Hollyoaks' scenes with, he replied: "Probably David Tag, so I can show people what a genuine body builder looks like on screen not a pretend one!"
Aedan is currently involved in a hard-hitting abuse storyline, which sees his character Oliver groomed by football coach Buster Smith (Nathan Sussex), and the pair have poured over their scripts to ensure they play out the plot to the best of their abilities.
He added: "There were many things I did to prepare for this storyline. I've worked closely with the charity, Survivors Manchester, speaking with survivors in order to give a true representation of what it may have been like for someone in Ollie's situation.
"I've also carried out my own specific research, and myself and Nathan Sussex have analysed scripts together finding important moments to highlight."
And things look to get worse for Oliver next week when he lets Scott Drinkwell (Ross Adams) take the blame for some of Buster's actions.
Aedan said: "Many things start to unravel for Ollie when his dad [Luke Morgan (Gary Lucy)] finds the pictures he has been trying to hide so badly.
"This spirals everything out of control, as Scott gets the blame and not the true abuser, Buster. It seems that there is no way Ollie could say how it truly is, but hopefully he can speak up and break the silence."
