Oh Carl, what about Victoria?
I agree with Ben, though the rape with Lizzie is interesting to me. The worst thing is Zak leaving his family, which I just couldn't believe, especially after how he viewed Shadrach etc ...
I also didn't like Debbie sleeping with Jai and the David story is just weird. I think the John/Moira stroy could be good but I just don't see or would never want to see Moira hooking up with people like Ryan, Carl or Andy. Or John hooking up with basically children in Scarlett and Mia. I think the point could be understood without that ickiness. Also, Carl just went through that story with Lexi, what would be the point in watching it again?
As for the Kings, I'd write them all out, that includes Nicola and especially Rodney.
The strongest point I felt was the Ashley story, which is very Emmerdale FARM to me.
Question: After Debbie figured out Cain and Charity were her parents, was she still close to Emily?
