Bright Eyes

I think the Debbie story was her and Nikhil. There had to be a reason for all those scenes. And now they've reworked it for Maisie, IMO. But still I think a triangle with them three would be awesome. I'm guessing those two women after Adam will be Katie and Eve. And as I've said, Adam and Eve is COMPLETELY NECESSARY! Name recognition and all that! Chas was a stripper? Never knew that! I also love her, though she can get a bit annoying at times. And yes, her sisterly/best friend relationship with Charity is awesome. With Priya, I think once Eli left they decided it might not be worth it to force her into something else. I think the Sharma brothers work better without her right now anyway. I wonder what he has planned for Zak/Lisa/Sam?

Oh, so not seeing Charity was also because of contract disputes. Thank God Emma Atkins signed on for good. You can tell he really loves Cain/Charity/Debbie. In fact, I'd say they are his personal favorites. Carl, you must be happily surprised to see that Andy will still have to deal with his past with Jo. Doesn't sound like him and Adele will be lasting though. So he said Bob gets a new love interest, and that Katie's new love interest will be someone shocking ... could he be thinking of pairing them together? Poor Viv. I want her to have a story too damn it! At least Victoria will have a little something to do ... I wish it was much more though. Le sigh. Not integrating Victoria with the rest of the cast more is Blythe's biggest problem. I truly have no idea where the hell he's going with Charlie. Absolutely no idea. I don't think it's as simple as taking her money away. Hmm ... could the Woolpack be getting a makeover? Maybe it will coincide with Emmerdale HD! New titles? I don't know how I feel about that. They really don't need changing at all, IMO! I like what he said about stunts. He seems to really get 'it.' Very excited for what's to come.

Dave was hilarious today. How does Marquess see no potential in him, but he actually prefers keeping around bland, annoying, eye raping characters like Ricky and Duncan?

This actress better be damn good or else this will quickly fail.

Well since she's going to be in the opening, Rae is definitely still with the show. ...

Depressing story of depressing story. Who's writing this? Dena Higley circa the OLTL years?

So, are they killing off Denise or what?

Lucy Pargeter just posted this picture, with this Tweet! Ooh what's goin on in the village ???? My link

So all of last week was pretty much a huge bore. I watch Monday's episode, with the McQueens, and I'm thoroughly entertained. They truly make this show. Um Carl, LOOK what you did. Giving me false hope that Rae was gone ... though this could have been her last episode ... Hmm? Weirdly, I actually kind of liked her today. Tony was such an ass today, but thank God that terrible pairing is over and done with. Wonder what they got planned for Cindy now? Nice to see her move in with Darren.

Sam Mitchell to be PREGNANT! Is she a bitch type? What is she doing in prison?

Ew, ratings talk.

Max really doesn't look that much older than her, IMO. In looks, it's 5 years give or take. How old are they supposed to be anyway? Is Lucas done after this story or are they going to try and keep him around? Loved Lucy get one over on that pathetic tool Adam. Who's the big guy that threatened him? What's his significance? Why does he care about Libby? I do agree about that nurse. Bitch, step the eff off! She needed a slap. Sexy Ryan is being an ass to Janine! Do not like this at all. I have been meaning to say though, Janine (the actress) must smoke boat loads with that damn husky voice. I realized she didn't really have it in the past.

Kevin Sacre is a gorgeous man and a decent enough actor. Getting rid of the last link to the Dean's is just foolish. One of the best families in the show's history are now basically going to be just that ... history.

I didn't think she was returning. However, I have strongly suspected Jake's death for a long time now. It's coming and it pisses me off. I thought he would have just died in whatever stunt Marquess is planning.

That sounds ... dumb.

Rhys drugged Josh? No, I hated Hayley. Zak was best without his terrible family. It better only be for a short term thing.

I think the same about Bart. I hope the actor is strong enough to overcome his unfortunate name. Poor Cindy. I did laugh though of seeing her in that apron. All I could think of is, look who's pregnant! Are you sure Rae is gone for good? Her exit hasn't been announced, has it? I just don't want to celebrate until we could be completely sure. On the other hand, even though Rae brought down Newt immensely, I am still going to miss Nico a hell of a lot. He was a tremendous actor and one of the best criers I have ever seen. I hope he goes on to big things. So I'm guessing Suzanne and Neville will leave town to work on their marriage? Can't get rid of them fast enough. I wonder where Rhys is going to live when they sell The Dog. I hear Darren's flat has a bedroom free? Oh and I love the music Hollyoaks uses. I was happily surprised to hear The xx in the background when Newt drove away.

Bart kind of resembles Guy Burnett a bit.

I've always thought Leyla looked like a Dingle.

Usually I would mind when Cain degrades her, but I feel they write Charity as someone who can give it back to him just as much. She's isn't afraid to stand up to his verbal abuse. I don't know how she way in the past, but other than Chas, and sometimes Marlon, she really has no one. They need to integrate her into the cast better.

Well, it's all based on my own speculation. But there were tons of scenes of Nikhil and Debbie and they were clearly moving toward something there, so maybe Cain would have been involved with their relationship? But yes, Charity is my FAVOURITE character on the show. I could watch her do anything and be entertained so I hope she gets a story real quick. She perks the show right up whenever she's on. And yes, that hair disaster being fixed has done a lot of favours for Emma Atkins. I didn't care much for Cain until Charity came along but do you think them being together hinders their story potential too much?

Honestly, I don't really fault Emmerdale for not showing Aaron/Jackson going further because Emmerdale never shows anyone doing anything but kiss. For the year I've been watching the only other characters that have been in bed at the same time we're Ryan and Maisie Emmerdale really isn't scandalous in the sex department at all. I also like Cain screwing with them. I think Charley's maternity leave kind of put any plans for him and Charity on hold, IMO, cause it seems the second she left their story petered out.

Yeah, it was Cheryl, not Michaela. Carl, you getting old or something? LoL So, everyone's with me, that the reason Rhys was actually pissed off to find his mom with Darren was because he was seething with jealousy, right? RARREN' to go! 2010!

I absolutely loved that little scene with Rhona kissing Marlon in front of Cain, considering Rhona and Cain are married IRL! I really want Charlie to take all of Diane's money. Furthermore, he better not be taking Victoria away. I'll be extremely pissed off. Mmm, finally we get to see some more Ryan and it was nice to see Faye again too. I want more of them please. On a superficial note, Sutton's ass looks amazing in that garage outfit. Wow.
