I Am A Swede

It's not certain that it will result in a death. (Although looking at it it's hard to see how it couldn't, but hey....it's a soap.) Personally I don't care which Dingle dies, as long as a Dingle (or preferably several Dingles) dies.

The same could be said about practically every character on this show though....

Ouch, this looks painful.... It might not have been my first choice for a casualty (and obviously we don't know yet if it's gonna end up that way), but any dead Dingle is a good Dingle.

Just recently when you open a sub-forum the first (few) sentences of every topic is visible. Is there a way to hide that so you only see the titles, like before? The way it is now makes it hard to get an overview and distinguish the separate topics from each other.

And so, we come at last to the final installment in the list of my top 50 favourite characters in Emmerdale (Farm) history. These 10 were the easiest to pick out of them all. There was never any doubt in my mind that these are my all-time favourite characters and the only (tiny) difficulty was deciding which order they should appear in. Except for #1, that spot was the easiest one of them all. So, here they are, the characters that I rank from 1 to 10 in Emmerdale (Farm) history

At the moment B&B airs 8 episodes per week here. Twice each day Monday through Thursday. But it will probably go back to 1 episode per day soon when we get too close to the US airings. We're only a few months behind now.

Happy 50th birthday Emmerdale (Farm)! This is how it all began, October 16th 1972.

Amen to that!! I'm sure you can figure out who will feature in my top 10 already (though I won't post it until tomorrow), but maybe not the exact order.

^^ Thank you for the tip! On to the next batch of favourites. We're now approaching my top 10 favourite characters in Emmerdale history. But first let's check out the ones ranked 11-20.

I think it was the right choice to have Stephanie and Brooke bury the hatchet at the very end, and not in each other's backs. Just like I think, and I know others don't, that it was the right decision to have Brooke be with Stephanie when she died. Their rivalry defined the first 25 years of the show and it was a fitting end to their relationship. I think the show should have had Brooke evolve after that though, and that's where they went wrong. She should have been allowed to mature into the matriarchal role that Stephanie had.

These are certainly alternative facts!

Talk about re-writing the entire history of the show! Look, I'm on Team Brooke, and she and Stephanie did make peace before Stephanie died, but to say that Stephanie always wanted Ridge and Brooke together is the most hilarious statement ever.

What??!! 😲 Oh no!! I know most people will know him from Harry Potter, but his real tour-de-force was in Cracker. Simply one of the best crime dramas ever, and he was beyond great in that role.

Yes, Kim is indeed the character I was referring to. Her fabulous original run, with its perfect ending, has unfortunately been tainted by her return. But I agree that it has improved slightly since that 2018 run, which was just bad on so many levels....

Onwards and upwards we go. Time for part 3 of the countdown of favourite characters, and now we will pass the halfway point. And just like with Chas Dingle (#42) we now find a character that probably would have ended up higher if I'd done this earlier... But without further ado, here are the characters ranked 21-30.
