It's a deal! 👍

Of course I disagree. Aaron is a Dingle, and one of the worst ones at that. He is a black hole that sucks the life and energy out of everything. A whiny, obnoxious, self-pitying waste of space. Or as they're called in Emmerdale: Dingles! The first original farm is a part of my first memories of the show, and brings me back to my childhood. I loved that kitchen. It was such a warm and comforting place. Grandad in his chair in front of the fire, with Annie and/or Dolly putting the kettle on/doing the ironing or some other domestic chore. I still have a nostalgic pull towards Emmerdale, which is why I can't give it up completely, even though the Emmerdale I loved so much is dead and buried.

I remember that when they left the old farmhouse Annie was in Spain and they didn't tell her about it. So when she came home she went to the old farmhouse, opened the door and walked into an empty building..... She was very upset that they didn't tell her about having to leave the old house. It was after all the house where she and Jacob had lived and raised their family. So she stayed with Kathy and Chris until they gave the new house the Emmerdale Farm name. I could be wrong, this is more than 30 years ago after all, but I think this was one of the reasons Annie moved to Spain permanently.

As far as I can remember the land was the same, but the original farm house had to be deserted due to subsidence in the early 1990s (I would say 1992-93 or thereabouts). At that time the family moved to Hawthorn Cottage, the house that first Matt and Peggy, and then Joe and Christine lived in. But to please Annie they renamed it Emmerdale Farm. But sometime in the early 2000s Jack had to sell up due to money issues. They then moved into a cottage in the village.

No, no, no, nooooo!! Keep Aaron away from the Sugdens now and for evermore! I don't want him anywhere near them, polluting them with his presence ever again!

Hill Street Blues was such a fantastic show, one of the all-time best in my opinion. It's so sad to see faces you grew up with leave us one by one....
