I Am A Swede

I do so want this to be good......

As expected, Joseph Tate is alive.... I guess they thought it was clever writing but this makes Graham's behaviour last year completely baffling. Why did he fall apart the way he did when he knew all along that Joseph was actually alive? It does make one wonder if this wasn't the original story, but that they changed it. Much like they obviously changed the original story for Joseph when Claire King agreed to come back as Kim.... Speaking of that. Are we really supposed to care about a feud between Kim and Cain? If it was the Kim of old, then yes I would care. But now, who gives a damn?! I could care less about this caricature of Kim, and Cain is, and has always been, a loathsome thug. The show was quite watchable for a while, but now it's going through a very rough patch....

The big Emmerdale news recently is without a doubt that Lisa Dingle is on her way out. Jane Cox is leaving the show after 23 years, and Lisa will be killed off. It should be sad news that such a longtime character is leaving, but I can't feel any sadness about this. When Lisa first appeared I quite liked her, and for a while she was a voice of sanity (sort of) in the Dingle household. But as the years went by she sadly became more and more Dinglefied, a fate she now shares with Moira, and it has now come to the point where I won't miss her when she's gone. And that's the only sad thing about her departure.

So, Maya and Jacob finally did the deed.... I was beginning to wonder if the show would go all the way, since they've been teasing it for so long now. But if they hadn't it would have lessened the impact of the story. It's a bit funny to read the reactions from the viewers. They feel sick and uncomfortable and want the story to be over.... Well, duh! It's supposed to be uncomfortable and difficult to watch. That's sort of the whole point. It's the best thing with the show right now, and the best story since Ashley's illness and death. To bad a certain bitch from the past is coming back soon, which undoubtedly will push most other stories not involving her or the Dingles to the backburner.

What!!?? 😲 Oh my God, I'm in shock!

An update on Leah Bracknell's condition. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-47332254 It doesn't sound too promising.

What the **** is happening with the world?!! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47295551

I realize that many presidents haven't been exactly young when they've been elected, but Bernie Sanders turns 78 this year. Isn't that a bit too old?

That's quite an understatement. It was, quite frankly, horrible in every aspect.

Ewww..... Thank you very much for putting that image into my brain. Can I send you my therapy bills?!
