List of Emmerdale characters introduced in 2011

Flynn Buchanan, played by Ryan Prescott, made his first on-screen appearance on 31 January 2011. Flynn was introduced as a love interest for Aaron Livesy (Danny Miller). The character and casting were announced in January 2011. Prescott landed the role of Flynn shortly after graduating with a performing arts degree. He began filming his first scenes in late November 2010. Prescott told ''The Champion'' that he had been recognised from being in ''Emmerdale''. He said "The storyline in ''Emmerdale'' was so big already that it's brought a lot of publicity, I signed my first couple of autographs the other day which was weird." He added that he had enjoyed his time on the set. In August 2011, it was announced Prescott would be returning to ''Emmerdale'' for a one off guest appearance in September 2011.

Flynn meets Aaron in a gay nightclub in Hotten. Flynn spots Aaron playing a game of pool with his friend Adam Barton (Adam Thomas). Flynn challenges Aaron to a game and wins. Adam buys Flynn a drink along with Aaron's. Flynn makes a pass at Aaron and gives him his phone number. Although Aaron initially rejects him and goes home, it is later revealed that Flynn has sent a text to Aaron asking him out for another date. The two continue to date over the following weeks when Flynn comes back from a trip away and has an awkward meeting in The Woolpack with Aaron's ex-boyfriend Jackson Walsh (Marc Silcock) who had asked Aaron to introduce him to Flynn. The following week, however, whilst they are on a date, Aaron begins to feel awkward and tells Flynn that he still wants to be with Jackson and regrets ending their relationship. Flynn tells Aaron that he is glad that he was finally being honest with him. Aaron ends his relationship with Flynn and reconciles with Jackson. A few months later, Adam spots Flynn on a night out. They go over to see Aaron and Flynn tells him he is glad to see him. They talk about Jackson's death and Aaron leaves Flynn alone in the bar. Provided by Wikipedia
