I Am A Swede

I guess that could work. But if they are going to do that (and I won't be holding my breath) I hope they do it soon, so Annie could get reunited with Joe before she dies. Lovely! Back when the show was actually good!

^^ In other news, Frazer Hines has expressed interest in returning as (the unfortunately deceased) Joe Sugden. https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/emmerdale/a27175249/emmerdale-frazer-hines-joe-sugden-return/ I don't know how serious he is, but it's an intriguing thought, despite the less than stellar return of Kim Tate. But it would be quite hard to explain his whereabouts for the last 24 years, since his supposed death in a car crash in Spain.

I would get excited that Victoria gets a story, even if it is a rape story, if I for a moment believed that the show would give it the attention it deserves. It will probably be a special hour-long episode, and then back to the regular program, Kim vs the Dingles..... I don't understand why they refuse to give Victoria more to do while giving story after story to Debbie and Belle. Isabel Hodgins is just as good an actress as Charley Webb and Eden Taylor-Draper, and Victoria as a character has such a rich history to mine stories from. It's baffling why she's constantly relegated to the back-burner.

Kim's estranged son James will arrive in the village in the not so distant future. https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/emmerdale/a27078514/emmerdale-spoilers-alexander-lincoln-jamie-tate-gossip/ There's already speculation about romance with either Debbie or Belle.... What about Victoria?!! They keep neglecting her! I realize of course that the drama would be in James getting involved with a Dingle, but at the same time that's so predictable

I agree with this completely. With everything that's going on around the world, sometimes I feel that, for my own sanity, I should just cut myself off from everything as much as possible. But at the same time I want to believe that it will get better. It has to.....

After the fiasco of Kim's return last fall I didn't think it could get worse, but boy did they prove me wrong.... This is so, so bad.... Kim's legacy has gone straight to hell, and this once iconic character is now reduced to a joke. It's sickening and I hate it. Hate, hate, hate it!! The sad thing is that part of the show is actually decent, but the other, bigger part is bordering on unwatchable. If I was in charge I would cut more than half of the cast (Kim, Graham, the Dingles, Paddy, Liv) and rebuild the show with the remains. The only Dingle I would possibly keep is Charity. (I know, strange coming from me, right? ) But of all the Dingles I think she would benefit the most from being separated from the rest of the clan. Maybe that could give the character a fresh start. The rest of them have to go though. Every single one, including their partners (except Robert of course, since he is, after all, a Sugden, and like with Charity there may be hope for him away from the succubus also known as Aaron)
