"There are some books... I need to check what books they are. I think Ross is quite a bit older," he told Radio Times magazine. "I think Jeremy, Ross's son, he's 16 or 18 or something. And I think when we left Ross, I think Jeremy might only be ten. I'm not quite sure."
The beloved series, which is set in the 18th century, aired its final episode three years ago in August 2019. Ahead of the season five finale, Aidan spoke to the BBC about the show's ending. "When we started Poldark we aimed to complete the majority of the books that we could, which would likely take us up to series five.

"Hitting that mark and returning for the fifth series was always the goal and we are proud to have achieved that."
Fans of the actor need not worry though, as they'll soon be seeing Aidan on screen again soon but in a very different role.
ITV's upcoming thriller, The Suspect, which begins airing on Monday 29 August at 9pm, sees Aidan star as Doctor Joe O'Loughlin, whose seemingly perfect life starts to unravel after the body of a young woman is found in a shallow grave in a West London cemetery.

ITV teases: "As a successful author, Doctor Joe's opinion is much sought after and when he meets DS Devi he’s only too willing to offer help with profiling and his expertise.
"Now known for his risk-taking and rule-breaking does Joe have more to hide? His recent diagnosis with a degenerative condition could explain his behaviour. But as the investigation into the woman’s death gathers pace, we start to ask, do we know the real Joe, or does he have a secret life? And has his work as a clinical psychologist allowed him to develop a criminal mindset? Or worse?"
