Emmerdale discussion

Jackson :bawling:

He really needs to go;). I think Marc Silcock is a much better actor than Danny Miller by far but can't see what else they can do with Jackson?

is it true that James Suttons leaving?

I hope this means hes coming back to Hollyoaks :)

[Kerry]

Seems so

[Kerry]

Michael McKell has insisted that his twisted Emmerdale character Nick Henshall did not intend to hurt anybody when he started the village's recent blaze.

The police detective was the arsonist behind January's inferno, which claimed the lives of long-standing residents Viv Hope and Terry Woods.

However, speaking to Inside Soap, McKell explained that Henshall was trying to make amends for a tragic incident from his past when he started the fire.

The actor commented: "Henshall's wife died in a blaze while he was a constable, but the attack was targeting him. Some bad guys tried to take revenge on him for an investigation and Henshall couldn't rescue his wife.

"Because he felt powerless to help, he invested his life in his career and actually became a very good cop in the process."

He continued: "When he set alight Katie's cottage, he only wanted to start a little fire so he could be a hero and she'd need him. However, her mobile phone was switched off and the landline was unplugged because of all the crank calls he'd been making. He didn't intend to kill anyone."

Henshall's behaviour grows increasingly unstable in next week's episodes as Katie (Sammy Winward) discovers the truth about him - leading to a shocking hostage situation

[bbfan1991]

About time Sammy Winward got a serious storyline to show off her acting abilities rather than the usual love plot, sure she will do a grand job:).

I'm glad that soon it seens that the Aaron/Jackson storyline will take a backseat and the focus will be on the start of Kelly's return etc:D.

[Kerry]

Getting bored of Charity and Cain now

[bbfan1991]

Getting bored of Charity and Cain now

I love them together:blush:, at the moment they're growing apart and need a break from one another...

It seems that Derek's next target might be Lizzie?:shocked:, i've also read in the spoilers that Lisa makes her hardest confession so she must finally decide to expose what a vile person he is:).

[Kerry]

Well Cains just made a break.....

[Kerry]

Coming up [CONTAINS PICS AND SPOILERS]

Henshall plot cimax (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s12/emmerdale/news/a304141/in-pictures-emmerdale-henshall-plot-climax.html)

[Callum]

Looking forward to that! My original plan was to stop watching when the truth about Henshall came out because I already watch EE and Corrie but I'm enjoying it again recently. Seems to have gotten better.

[bbfan1991]

I really don't like Katie but I felt sorry for her tonight:(, Henshall is so creepy. Brenda has a lot of apologising to do to Andy;).

Sammy Winward impressed me tonight, i've always rated her but hopefully now they will give her more main storylines than just the tedious love plots or triangles because she is capable of doing more than that:).

[Kerry]

I just hope she doesn't fall back into Andy's arms. It's likely she will :(

[bbfan1991]

Yeah that will happen for sure. I think Chas is just fab:D, her scenes always mesmerise me!

Val/Diane work so well together too:). I actually miss Viv, they should have waited till Kelly came back then killed Viv off as it would have much more impact IMO...

[Kerry]

I like Val. She always makes me laugh. Love her newfound compassion for someone other than herself in Amy too. Even though it'd never happen. Fostering someone takes months and months. Social services don't just let kids stay with anyone!

[bbfan1991]

Val's great:D, selfish, scheming and OTT but deep down she's caring and got a heart of gold. I really like Amy too, she's a teenage version of Val:p.

I know, they get things done quickly in soapland:shocked:.

[Kerry]

Ooooh voiceover lady just said a tragic outcome. I'm guessing Henshall gets shot!

[bbfan1991]

Ooooh voiceover lady just said a tragic outcome. I'm guessing Henshall gets shot!

Maybe but i'm thinking suicide?

[Kerry]

Maybe but i'm thinking suicide?

That was my first thought

[Kerry]

Actually yeah, cheesy gunshot, Andy runs in, Katies there :sleep:

[bbfan1991]

Go Katie:), for once I am liking her!:shocked:.

[bbfan1991]

LOL they withdrawed:rolleyes:.

KAYTEH!!!!!!

[bbfan1991]

I got it right:D.

PS the older policeman is the actor who played Les Hunter in Hollyoaks:).

[RichardWells]

I know she gets a lot of stick on here but I actually think Sammy Winward is a great actress when actually given something meaty to work with.

Tonight she proved just how good an actress she is.

[Kerry]

Sammy did well tonight :)

[bbfan1991]

I know she gets a lot of stick on here but I actually think Sammy Winward is a great actress when actually given something meaty to work with.

Indeed and hopefully the producers don't keep giving Sammy the endless love plot storylines for her character now:p.

[Kerry]

Oh God, tarts back

[bbfan1991]

Oh God, tarts back

Eve, lets just say she won't want be near Chas again:laugh2:.

Lisa confesses soon:):D.

[Kerry]

No, Kelly :joker:

Glad Lisa tells all

[bbfan1991]

No, Kelly :joker:

Glad Lisa tells all

Oh I like Kelly aside from the fake tan:blush:, she's outrageous.

[bbfan1991]

The Dingles are bloody fantastic!:), can't imagine what t'Dales would be like without them.

Cain's attempts to intimidate Jai continue to be unsuccessful, he decides to change tack and target Nikhil instead.

Relations between Cain and Charity hit an all-time low in the coming days when the hardman informs Jai that the feisty blonde used to be a prostitute, declaring that it proves she'll do anything for cash.

However, Cain fails to put off Jai - prompting Charity to gloat as she tells her ex-partner that she has no more secrets and there's nothing else he can do to drive a wedge between them.

Not one to be deterred, Cain turns his attentions to Nikhil and orders the businessman to have a word with his brother or suffer the consequences. Making sure he gets the message, the bad boy leaves Nikhil bound and gagged in a bin!

Poor Zak. He doesn't know what to do with himself :(

[Kerry]

Awwww will Jackson and Aaron be back on then? :)

[Scarlett.]

Poor Jimmeh

[bbfan1991]

I like Jimmy:D.

Amy really is coming into her own:blush:, the sooner Faye gets lost the better!

[Scarlett.]

I agree, same with Ryan too lol

I hope Jimmy remembers, felt sorry for Nico tonight

[bbfan1991]

I agree, same with Ryan too lol

I change my mind because she's so marmite:blush:.

I love the Debbie and Chas combination:D, Chariteh will soon get jealous of it LOL..

[Scarlett.]

Charity should be shot lol

[bbfan1991]

Charity should be shot lol

How DARE you!:nono::joker::laugh2:.

[Scarlett.]

and then Cain should be shot

[Kerry]

Sick of it being the Charity and Cain show

[Scarlett.]

Emmerdale needs to move on from certain characters, namely Aaron and Jackson

[bbfan1991]

Emmerdale needs to move on from certain characters, namely Aaron and Jackson

Yes:sleep:, they bore me together! although I can't fault their Dingle storylines;).

I would like to see a big storyline for Pearl, axe Turner because he's pointless and I would bring back Charlie (I liked him despite what happened).

[Kerry]

Aarons done nothing but cry and judging by the upcoming rumours will do nothing else but cry either

[bbfan1991]

Yep. Though can half see him leaving

I think Danny Miller's been getting too big for his boots:p.

[Kerry]

I think Danny Miller's been getting too big for his boots:p.

Yeah, thats why I think he'll be gone

[bbfan1991]

Yeah, thats why I think he'll be gone

Theres better actors than him in Emmerdale e.g. Steve Halliwell yet he hardly gets a look in at the awards:(.

Grr Ella and Mia, wish they would leave:bored:.

[Kerry]

Mia the Saturdays wannabe

[Kerry]

I think this Jimmy storyline is silly. Whats the point? I take it theres going to be one? No doubt involving Kelly. Yawn if he still thinks she's his wife

[Callum]

Given up on Emmerdale, I don't dislike it but watching three soaps is too much for me. The storylines are getting rather absurd too, this Jimmy one is silly and I can't bear watching the assisted suicide one just to see Aaron crying his eyes out every minute. Plus like someone else said, it's turning into the Charity and Cain show, they are so overused.

[Kerry]

Forgot to mention - PADDY'S HEEEEEEED!!!!!!!! :shocked: :joker:

[Kerry]

Loving the confidence of this new guy. Debbies ex squeeze

[Kerry]

Jeesus, Emmerdale practically went into reverse tonight. Talk about a non-episode!

[RichardWells]

I didn't realize how good a serious actress Pauline Quirke is though.

[Kerry]

I didn't like her in it at first. Now never want her to leave

[bbfan1991]

Jackson and Aaron=:sleep: I couldn't give a toss about these two now.

I'm liking Cameron too.. the dynamic between him, Debbie and Cain is good..

Loving Chas and Alicia:).

[Kerry]

I nearly fainted when Emmerdale went off with Aaron and Jackson smiling

[bbfan1991]

I know:shocked:, Jackson has obviously remembered to eat his greens...

[Kerry]

So, is this kid of Kelly's actually Jimmy's or just another scam of hers?

[bbfan1991]

So the DNA test today was fake?

Yeah and Kelly enlists Eve to help her to get a picture of her and Jimmy together, they kiss next week;).

Shocking spoiler time..

Amy and Cain kiss:shocked:, I really like Amy so this could actually surprise...

[Kerry]

Eve (Suzanne Shaw) is leaving Emmerdale

[joeysteele]

I watched it this week for the first time in weeks, I cannot believe the loss of memory story is still running with Jimmy etc; how boring.

Going down the drain further is Emmerdale.

It's a ridiculous storyline

[joeysteele]

It's a ridiculous storyline

It is,you are right. I mean, I would be trying every possible therapy under the sun to try and get my memory back. It really is a waste of time for a storyline, should have been nipped in the bud weeks ago.

As I said, I just found it incredible it was still going as a storyline,It's a mystery how the producers think it still has legs.

[Callum]

Had a quick look at Twitter tonight and the hate towards Kelly is unbelievable. I knew she wasn't a fan favorite but everyone seems to hate her. I'm not a fan myself, she's a rubbish actress.

Is that what happened last night, I really hate this storyline so much that if Emmerdale is on for one of the other Students I cannot watch it.

It really is a ridiculous storyline,he doesn't even talk to anyone medical anymore.I wold never be away from doctors or counsellors trying to get my memory back.

I know it's only a soap story but for goodness sake, it's gone on ages.

Yeah agree with you.
I have stopped watching .Yes it's only a soap story but the fact he is not seeking any professional help in trying to regain his memory for the sake of his kid/s is unbelievable.
Nicola is usually such a feisty character she would have dragged Kelly,Jimmy and the child in for DNA testing the moment she was told the child was Jimmy's.
I have gone from watching Emmerdale to grabbing the remote to change the channel minute I hear the theme tune

Exactly,he hasn't got his memory back, yet they have him making vital decisions as to his future.

As you say, unbelievable and its just a farce now.Time to hit his head again I think and hope it restores his full memory,that scenario cannot be any more daft than the current storyline and its long, boring, drawn out nonsense week after week.

Oh crumbs, she annoys me too, has Jimmy remembered any other daft thing yet?

I really can't take Emmerdale at the minute,really stupid storylines and badly researched ones too.

No, no silly Jim-bob today.

You've not missed much. Just Rona still annoyed with Marlon as he's told so many people already about the baby's disability. Erm, Ryan leaving. Mia's mother (forget her name - so interesting) eyeing Adam again. About it

Thanks Kerry, That's another storyline I am tired of, Rona's baby.I think Mia's Mother is Ella or something like that.

No. I'm addicted though :bawling: (or too nosey to miss anything more like!)

[Kerry]

Oh Lordy. The memory is coming back more now :rolleyes:

[Kerry]

More leaving >

Roz (non-character), Dermot Macey (non-character) and Eve (common knowledge now I think)

[joeysteele]

Oh Lordy. The memory is coming back more now :rolleyes:

One way or another I wish they'd end this storyline now, too ridiculous.

It's a shame. Emmerdale is usually the more believable soap

Emmerdale seems to be going down the pan again

It has had some good storylines, I think you should write for them Kerry.

Very kind. Not sure I'd have the patience!

[Kerry]

Surprised they found him guilty of the other woman but not guilty of Lisa :(

Hope Zac and Cain are circling the prison doors once he's released....... :devil:

[joeysteele]

Surprised they found him guilty of the other woman but not guilty of Lisa :(

Hope Zac and Cain are circling the prison doors once he's released....... :devil:

I wasn't surprised,a jury has to be 100% sure, the 2nd woman reported it right off, Lisa took a fair while and had conflicting evidence in that she didn't say who it was right off even to her Granddaughter.

If enough jury members have doubts as to the intent there then they would have to acquit on that one.
I had a friend watch the trial sections and just on what she saw, not really watching the programme before much, she said had she been on the jury she would not have said guilty on Lisa's evidence and the time it took her to report it.

As to Jimmy, oh for goodness sake, his memory is coming back but still he doesn't go to get or even see if there is now further professional help to encourage more of his memory to return. This is a truly stupid storyline.

[Kerry]

Hazels funny :D Probably her I most enjoy watching right now. To think, I never thought she'd fit in in a million years

[Kerry]

I've really enjoyed Hazel/ Aaron/ Jackon's trip away :) Especially the skydiving :laugh:

[Kerry]

If Jackson wanted to die so badly, why didn't he drive himself off the railway station platform? OK, I understand he wants a peaceful way out but everyone was saying "NO" and he had the perfect chance

Morbid - I know

[Scarlett.]

Emmerdale's getting better, the Jackson story is brilliant

[Kerry]

I'm dreading it. I'll be in floods (again!) if/when it happens.....

[Scarlett.]

His reaction after the skydive nearly had me going, because I knew what he'd be thinking that night

[Kerry]

His reaction after the skydive nearly had me going, because I knew what he'd be thinking that night

Yeah. Very moving

I had to have a think when my daughter asked why he wanted to die. Tough question!

[Scarlett.]

Aye, another thing I'm happy about is they're finally giving Victoria more screentime

[Kerry]

Aye, another thing I'm happy about is they're finally giving Victoria more screentime

I wondered if they were trying to make her "Vicky" when she was called it yesterday :laugh:

[Scarlett.]

Lol probably, less long winded xD It's weird she's the longest running female character (albeit played by different actresses)

[Kerry]

Lol probably, less long winded xD It's weird she's the longest running female character (albeit played by different actresses)

Really? Wow

[Scarlett.]

Aye lol, it was Viv, but she got toasted lol

[Kerry]

Aye lol, it was Viv, but she got toasted lol

Making me think how quick the recent(ish) characters come and go :/

[Scarlett.]

They need a new big family like the King's at Home Farm

[Kerry]

They need a new big family like the King's at Home Farm

Yes, hating Declans clan atm taking over the village

[Scarlett.]

Declan's family are so boring following the Wyldes, Kings and Tates

[Kerry]

Dull as dishwater. And if Ella is it ... ? Does something with Barton boy I'm likely to puke

[Scarlett.]

I think he...has sex with the older woman D:

[Kerry]

I think he...has sex with the older woman D:

:D

I know it's not abnormal but the whole "I'm shagging you both" thing is cringey

[Kerry]

Talking of bed/sleeping, I'd better head there.

Night Chewster :) x

[joeysteele]

It's a very sad storyline with the really heaviest bit to come I think,hope they do it well researched and sensitively.

[Kerry]

It's a very sad storyline with the really heaviest bit to come I think,hope they do it well researched and sensitively.

If Aaron was so against killing him he'd have phoned the police by now or the hospital and had Jackson sectioned. Suicide, afterall, is a crime and Hazel agreeing to it is murder

It's such a horrible and sad situation though as you said :(

[Kerry]

Ella/Adam - *vomits*

Jimmy regaining his full memory - *rolls eyes skyward*

[joeysteele]

Ella/Adam - *vomits*

Jimmy regaining his full memory - *rolls eyes skyward*

The minute Jimmy appears I am off to get a coffee or something,even now with so much of his memory supposedly returning, he still doesn't go for any medical help or other possible help. Its plain daft,the most stupid storyline for a long time in a soap.

He now knows the Kelly character whacked him over the head and still he believes all she says as to her child being his son and still speaks to her,absolute and pure nonsense. Childish storyline and pathetic acting to boot.

No, she left a few months ago.

oooh the last time i proper seen it was when she had a big breakdown in the pub

Glad they didn't do an entire silly labour scene. Stupid doll baby that they used though

[bbfan1991]

Sad ending but i'm not as moved as I thought I would be:shocked::(.

Pauline and Marc have been great, better than Danny Miller who will get all the recognition:bored:.

What a relief it's over!

[hotleggs]

I think it was really sad :(

[Callum]

Very sad episode. Hope Pauline Quirke wins an award for her performance as Hazel, so moving.

[bbfan1991]

I feel for Hazel but it was what Jackson wanted, people may be outraged etc but it was his wish to die and IMO I don't think anyone should have made a decision for him to stay alive.

Jackson could have seeked more help and might have seen there is a way to cope had he have been more positive!

[bbfan1991]

Very sad episode. Hope Pauline Quirke wins an award for her performance as Hazel, so moving.

No chance, they'll nominate Danny Miller instead:(. Have to admit he was good but not in the league of the other 2 IMHO.

[Kerry]

If I'd been sat watching it I may have been more upset but I was making tea at the same time so distracted :joker:

[bbfan1991]

I timed it to be done right after Emmerdale but I still had to keep checking the oven

[RichardWells]

God those villagers are really pissing me off.

Judgmental pricks.

[joeysteele]

I think in stark contrast to the very stupid Jimmy's loss of memory storyline, this one with Jackson, Aaron and Hazel has been acted brilliantly.

Really first class and someone needs to get an award for this one.

[Kerry]

Pauline (Hazel) wow. Full credit to her

Interesting mixture of views around the village

[joeysteele]

I wasn't sure I was going to like her in Emmerdale but Pauline has played this part,particularly this week to perfection, brilliant acting.

[Kerry]

I wasn't sure I was going to like her in Emmerdale but Pauline has played this part,particularly this week to perfection, brilliant acting.

I was dreading her in it and for the first couple of weeks I didn't take to her. Now I think she's brilliant in it. She fitted right in

Emmerdale aside though, she's a wonderful actress :)

[Kerry]

Nasty Ashley :mad: :(

[Barbie]

Its annoying that Danny Miller will once again get all the recognition for this but Pauline and Marc were amazing and better in these scenes. It seems he is the golden boy, yes he is a good actor and has done some good storylines but lets face it he was outshone in this one.

[joeysteele]

Nasty Ashley :mad: :(

He gives Priests a bad name doesn't he, of course in Emmerdale he has pre-conceived ideas on this matter of helping someone die.

Awful to think that anyone in this plight who wanted a Christian funeral,could be denied one because of Church prejudices.
I am actually surprised that Hazel indicated Jackson had left hymns and things for his funeral,(or did I get that bit wrong),as I recall in a past episode when Jackson was going on about wanting to end it all she was saying it wasn't right to end someones life before their time and he said don't go all religious on me,you know I don't go in for any of that.
I expected a humanistic funeral to be planned.

Anyway, back to Ashley it seems he is another Priest who seems to have closed his ears to the part of Christianity as to, not condemning,not judging and always forgiving.

[Kerry]

What gets me is his own father did the same thing as I gather but he forgives him as 'she was dieing anyway'. So was Jackson, inside. He just didn't have the means to do anything about it.

I'm not saying suicide is right but in certain situations, who wants life and constant misery? Not being able to do a thing for yourself? I can't think of much worse TBH :(

I have to agree with you,I personally couldn't have likely done what Hazel and Aaron did in Emmerdale but I would never condemn anyone in real life for doing it.

Sadly though it highlighted in part the bigotry of the Church and moreso the fact that Priests bring their prejuduces and hang-ups into their Ministry and force their view on others that they should be helping.That is completely wrong.

[Kerry]

I bet Ashley does the service

[joeysteele]

I bet Ashley does the service

It seems to be heading that way. Rightly so, he is the Parish Priest,he should do it, his own prejudices aside.

Knew Aaron would get charged :rolleyes:

I can't stand Aaron:mad:. I feel for Hazel tbh!

Poor Debbie:(.

I hope Chas/Carl and Chariteh/Cain get back together because there is too much chemistry but they're always on and off which is a pain.

Knew Aaron would get charged :rolleyes:

Likely so because he has previous convictions too also of course his stating he held the drink to Jackson's mouth.

Good acting on this one though, what I find questionable is how quick the CPS have made the decision to charge him its a serious charge and they likely would have needed months to reach their decision especially in light of the circumstances and this possibly being a mercy killing.

[bbfan1991]

The river will run out of water by the time Aaron has finished crying:joker:.

He does seem to shed tears very easily,I bet if an award does go to Emmerdale he gets it too for this storyline.

[Kerry]

Awards never go to Emmerdale :(

[joeysteele]

Awards never go to Emmerdale :(

I know, that's sad because they have had some good storylines, I think this storyline will get something though.

[bbfan1991]

Awards never go to Emmerdale :(

Hopefully with this storyline they will, I hope Pauline Quirke or Marc Silcock get something because they have been the real stars of this storyline.

Danny Miller finally got the award he was throwing his toys out of the pram for so should miss out IMO:p.

[Kerry]

Oh did Danny get an award?

Pauline Quirke deserves something. She's been amazing. I thought I'd hate her in it but totally eat humble pie on that one

[joeysteele]

I thought she was a misfit for Emmerdale too Kerry but as Hazel,Pauline Quirke has played a blinder on this storyline, superb acting.

I either didn't know or forgot :joker:

Wonder what hold that lad has over Amy. Hope Zac sorts him :devil:

[joeysteele]

Another great performance by Pauline Quirke as Hazel. She looks really distraught playing these scenes.terrific acting, totally believable.

Her weightloss and lack of makeup make it very believable too.

[Kerry]

Don't like trial storylines. They bore me :(

[flamingGalah!]

Funny how quick they have trials like this in soaps, in real life they would be many months later...

[Kerry]

Funny how quick they have trials like this in soaps, in real life they would be many months later...

And last weeks

[Jords]

Oh my days been really getting into Emmerdale recently :shocked:

Layla/Jakey/Alesha storyline is really good cant wait to see further developments but I really feel sorry for both sisters :/

And always found Aaran a great character from what Ive seen cause mum loves the soap. Him dealing with assisting suicide on Jackson is being portrayed really realistically, EE would have just sent him on the booze by now!

[Callum]

I wish Leyla wasn't leaving :(

[bbfan1991]

I have to switch off any scene with Aaron now, can't stand him. Even the lovely Chas can't make me warm to him.

I'm on Alicia's side over Jakey. Leyla has irritated me for a while now and I can understand how she feels but she made a sacrifice for Alicia and has left it too late for regrets now.

I wish Sandy wasn't leaving:(.

[joeysteele]

I agree bbfan1991, Leyla as a character has become rather unpleasant.

[Jords]

I wish Leyla wasn't leaving :(

Nooooooooo!!!!! I dont want her to leave :(


Why did she actually give Alicia her child? -confused-

[bbfan1991]

Nooooooooo!!!!! I dont want her to leave :(


Why did she actually give Alicia her child? -confused-

Alicia can't have children naturally:(.

[Kerry]

I think their mother also had a part in forcing Leyla to give up the baby to Alesha. Some shame thing. Alesha's husband is the biological father afterall

[RichardWells]

God Aaron is really peeing me off now.

He got found not guilty.........grow up lol.

[Kerry]

I'm guessing a Laurel/Marlon affair

Total guess but they keep teaming them up. That or another Marlon infatuation

[Kerry]

*sigh* yep - infatuated :rolleyes:

['Conor]

omgz

that girl in that Emmerdale Daz add

is nom :amazed:

[Kerry]

Kelly? Adele Silva?

Google her. She's often wearing next to nowt as a model :joker: (as I've just found out lol)

['Conor]

shes so hot -drools-

but my mate Emma who is like obsessed with Emmerdale hit me for fancying her, because apparently shes a bitch :suspect:

[Kerry]

I can't stand her in the show. She is a bitch :D

['Conor]

is she a good character though

[Callum]

is she a good character though

She was alright when she first joined the show but when she returned earlier this year, I didn't know a single person who liked her.

[Kerry]

is she a good character though

She's not actively in it at the moment. But hmmmm..... I never rated her character

['Conor]

i dunt watch Emmerdale :bawling:

[Jords]

Chaz :love:

The filming in the car was different I really liked it but the 'crash' was a bit underwhelming LOL

[Kerry]

Chaz :love:

The filming in the car was different I really liked it but the 'crash' was a bit underwhelming LOL

Yeah the filming was different. Only thing I didn't like was how Chas was all dazed and could barely walk then the next ripping Cain and Aaron apart :joker:

[Kerry]

Had an awful feeling this was what the Sarah storyline was :(

Andy and Debbie face a heartbreaking race against time when Sarah needs a bone marrow transplant. (i.e leukemia - cancer of the bone)

Apparently Andy and Debbie may decide to have another child to save her

[Kerry]

Glad Mia now knows what a bitch her mother is

[Kerry]

Interesting yet very good and believable storyline with Aaron self harming

[Barbie]

Interesting yet very good and believable storyline with Aaron self harming

Another interesting topic yeah, shame its always Aaron though, getting bored of his antics

[Kerry]

And his bloody miserable face....

[Kerry]

This Bonnie and Clyde crap - Dear Lord

[Kerry]

Creature of habit that I am, I'm still watching this. But Marlon and Laurel are making me want to sit and pull my teeth out for more entertainment. It's cringey

[Mrluvaluva]

It's a while since there's been a post in this thread....

"Emmerdale's elder abuse storyline comes to a head next week as Laurel Thomas witnesses husband Ashley lashing out at his frail father Sandy.

Upcoming episodes see Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) finally realise that all is not right between the pair, which leaves Ashley agitated as he wonders where his wife's concerns have come from.

As Ashley (John Middleton) quizzes Sandy (Freddie Jones) about whether he's told Laurel anything, the village vicar becomes increasingly threatening towards his dad - before finally snapping and hitting him.

However, a shocked Laurel is standing in the doorway, having seen everything.

Laurel subsequently demands answers from Ashley and a furious showdown leaves their marriage in tatters.

Meanwhile, a tormented Sandy stays at Edna's (Shirley Stelfox) for the night - and she's shocked to learn of Ashley's abuse.

The next day, Sandy and Laurel both return home to face Ashley, who desperately apologises for his behaviour.

However, as Laurel makes it clear that she has only returned home for Sandy's sake, Ashley fears that he's lost her forever. Is there any future for their marriage? And can Sandy ever forgive Ashley?


DS (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s12/emmerdale/scoop/a375611/emmerdale-ashley-sandy-abuse-to-be-revealed.html)

[bbfan1991]

The storyline has been upsetting to watch, although it is about an issue that sadly goes on in the real world. I feel sorry for Sandy and Ashley is getting more nastier, glad he gets found out soon.

Laurel is driving me mad by not spotting anything, this is realistic as has happened in real life cases of elderly abuse.

Ashley's character has been ruined by this storyline as he was not like this before and if they aim to redeem the character after the damage might already be too much to repair.. Andy is still not forgiven for his treatment of Jo by some viewers!

[waterhog]

bbfan - i think that to - they have totally ruined ashley - i do hope they can correct his bad ways but i have a feeling he has gone to far now.

[joeysteele]

I am really glad this is coming to a head now, it is a distressing storyline because sadly it likely does occur a fair bit in reality.

I find Ashley's character a very cold one, if he was a real Vicar,I doubt I would ever feel I could approach him just for his general well known comments.
Thank goodness this storyline is hopefully coming to a close and the one thing I hope it has done is open some eyes in the real world as to the abuse of elderly people by at times some of their closest relatives and also by those in charge of their care in residential homes too.

It's been hard to watch, so cruel and demoralising for the character Sandy,no one deserves to be treated that way.

[waterhog]

i think its be hard to watch because its the least thing we exspected ie man of the cloth. dose need closure.

[bbfan1991]

I am really enjoying this Chas/Cameron thing:blush:. I like Debbie, although her and Cameron have no chemistry at all.. I blame the writers for this and not the Actors!

[bbfan1991]

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s3/coronation-street/scoop/a376477/corrie-outrage-enders-rejection-edale-arrest-oaks-phoebe-secret.html

Edna calls the Police and Ashley is arrested for abusing his dad, Sandy:).

[Mrluvaluva]

That is good news. I would not have wanted him to get away with it. I wanted somebody to give Ashley a slap. :tongue:

[bbfan1991]

That is good news. I would not have wanted him to get away with it. I wanted somebody to give Ashley a slap. :tongue:

It is good news and he is forced to confess to people in the Woolpack too, double whammy:D..

[waterhog]

whats going to happen to poor sandy now ? where will he go ?

[bbfan1991]

whats going to happen to poor sandy now ? where will he go ?

He goes into care apparently:(

[waterhog]

i love sandy - i even done a poem on him - something like will you get randy with me sandy - this is a sad day for emmerdale if he dose leave.

[Mrluvaluva]

Ashley needs a good slap! (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s12/emmerdale/i403653-8/emmerdale-ep-6216-19-04-12-ashley-finally-snaps.html#a375162)


Looks like Sandy gets a smack in the face by Ashley (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s12/emmerdale/i404651-8/emmerdale-ep-6222-26-04-12-sandy-snaps-at-ashley.html#a375382)

[waterhog]

ashely is going off my xmas card lift -

[joeysteele]

It will be good at last to see that this storyline is moving to the full knowledge of how badly Sandy has been treated.

I hate to think that this even goes on and that elderly people are treated so badly by their loved ones, I know it goes on sadly,so I am really pleased to see this rather 'disturbing' storyline open up more from tomorrow.

[waterhog]

joey - trust me - this is very very tame what sandy is having to go through - allot worsse dose happen - and even in care homes to - so dont think they are all safe.

[joeysteele]

joey - trust me - this is very very tame what sandy is having to go through - allot worsse dose happen - and even in care homes to - so dont think they are all safe.

You are right, My parents took an elderly friend out of a residential home she was in because of the abuse she was getting in there.

That is what has disturbed me as to this storyline too, because in reality the situation would have been far worse than we have seen, as you say this has been tame.

[Mrluvaluva]

Quite ironic Ashley was trying to make his own world perfect by being totally selfish and now it's all going to fall apart.

[waterhog]

and the main point is - he is a man of the cloth.

[joeysteele]

I tried very hard to but couldn't feel an ounce of sympathy for Ashley tonight. I am just relieved this storyline is more open now, for many reasons I have found it very hard and disturbing to watch

I don't usually get really involved in soaps but I was really egging Laurel on tonight.

[waterhog]

me to- and it felt like i was against god - silly hey - the good came through.

[Mrluvaluva]

ITV has slotted in a one-off Sunday episode of Emmerdale later this month.

Emmerdale will air on Sunday, May 13 at 7.30pm as Zak Dingle's breakdown storyline continues.

The extra episode makes up for the 8pm edition lost on Thursday, May 10.

[Mrluvaluva]

Didn't see this coming

[Scarlett.]

Why is Zack rolling around in fields wittering on about 'them' following and burying money?

[Mrluvaluva]

He has mental health issues.

[waterhog]

he is ill - poor zak - brill actor.

[Mrluvaluva]

Val is back soon also.

[waterhog]

we saw that tonight - i see deckland is on a slippery slop with robbie - this is his ticket to stay -

[bbfan1991]

Chas and Cameron are caught out by Gennie:eek:.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s2/eastenders/scoop/a386232/enders-rage-corrie-suspicion-edale-discovery-oaks-ally-naked.html

[Scarlett.]

Does anyone else really miss the days of Viv, Terry, Betty, Shadrach and the rest? Nowadays Emmerdale seems to take itself so seriously, leaving little room for comedy and fun, it reminds of of how Corrie was in the late noughties. Even the Dingle family are all doom and gloom these days, it's so disappointing to see, especially due to how good the show was under Gavin Blyth.

[Mrluvaluva]

Yeah, it's taking itself a bit too seriously these days. Soaps need those light hearted touches of comedy, I think, to create some light relief amongst the story lines.

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, even EastEnders does light hearted storylines these days. I wish Emmerdale could get back to it's best, but it's going to need a lot of work. I put the blame on Stewart Blackburn, but mainly on Steve Frost/November, both of them have ruined what Gavin Blyth built up. Soaps are meant to be escapism, Emmerdale doesn't seem to be getting that.

[Scarlett.]

RAyi_sIJu60

Emmerdale is back in great shape IMO

[bbfan1991]

Chas/Carl need to get back together, great scenes last night and the on screen partnership Tom/Lucy have is fantastic. No-one has the upper hand in moral highground where these two characters are concerned.

They need Chas to find out that Carl killed his father because of her.

omg - i never used to watch it when this hapened - omg/

[Mrluvaluva]

I was thinking to myself tonight how I wish Dan was called Dave. Him and Chas make a lovely couple.

[waterhog]

me to - i like him and his innocence and he is so funny.

[Scarlett.]

W0NmpX9fgKs

[Mrluvaluva]

So there's two births, two weddings (whether they are fulfilled remains to be seen), and one (possibly two I have heard) deaths during the live episode on Wednesday.

[Scarlett.]

I'm betting one of the deaths is Carl, though I hope it's not Carl lol

[Mrluvaluva]

Carl and Chas? Maybe Declan gets slaughtered?

[Scarlett.]

Carl and Chas would be crazy, it'd be a hell of an end to their saga lol, maybe Carl will be a red herring, could be in an accident, but live, while someone else dies (Cameron maybe?)

[Mrluvaluva]

I wonder how things are going to end between Declan, Megan and Robbie?

[waterhog]

splitting is for sure. if not one leaving for good.

[Scarlett.]

I enjoyed tonights episode, cant wait to see what happens next

[Scarlett.]

Happy 40th anniversary Emmerdale Farm!

[bbfan1991]

Happy 40th anniversary to Emmerdale, the cast and crew will do a great job for the LIVE episode tomorrow:). I hope the weather behaves for them LOL!

I still think that Cameron will be the one to die, i'm hoping that it will not be my favourite character Chas.

[Kate!]

I heard hints though the the death leaves everyone devastated. Cameron wouldn't get that reaction?

I reckon Ashley Thomas, the vicar!

[waterhog]

thats a good one - and he has not been in it to much as of late.

[Scarlett.]

So where tonight left off

1. Jimmy and Carl were left bloodied up after a punch up (Possible deaths?)
2. Katie and Declan were outside Home Farm getting ready to go to the party (Could something happen on the way there?)
3. Chas and Dan just tied the knot (Could Carl still go into the church?)
4. Debbie was on the way to the hospital (What if the baby/Debbie dies?)
5. Gennie went into labour (Possible birth death?)
6. Cameron was hanging around Mill Cottage (Could he finish Carl off? Or vice versa?)

Find out tommorow!

[Scarlett.]

Not long now!

[Cherie]

it wont be Carl too much of a red herriing...might be Chas or zak
