I Am A Swede

Love it, love it, love it!! http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/emmerdale/news/a849618/emmerdale-fans-react-debbie-ross-acid-attack/ Oh, and did I mention that I LOVE IT!

Why does it always snow when Christmas is over? Who cares about snow then?

You're right! I forgot about Shadrach (or at least I really tried to... ) Chris was such a complex, fascinating character. There's no way that they will be able to make Joseph anywhere near his father. The writing is so much more shallow now, like the characters. The Tates were such exceptional characters, all of them, that it's no wonder that no-one has been able to live up to their legacy at Home Farm. Which is why it's so sad that someone like Kim is mostly remembered as the super-bitch of Emmerdale. She was much more than that, and it's a shame that all the other aspects of her is overlooked.

I wish I could say that I'm surprised, but I'm not....

^^ A joyous occasion, the death of a Dingle, turns into a nightmare with the introduction of two more members of that wretched family! And even worse, it would eventually lead to the introduction of the worst character this show has ever had....

So much nostalgia....

This is another marvelous performance by the same couple. (Can you tell I really like them? )

Ice Dancing has always been my favourite discipline in figure skating. This is one of my all-time favourite programs, Gwendal Peizerat and Marina Anissina dancing to The Man in the Iron Mask. It still gives me chills. So beautiful.

To be honest I don't really care if he goes down with a bang, a whimper or a marching band. As long as he goes down. He's a menace, and as long as he's in the White House the whole world is in peril. It may sound dramatic, but he's so volatile and unpredictable it genuinely scares me.

Congratulations to Emmerdale for winning Best serial drama at the 2018 NTA Awards. http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-42776760

GS win number 20 for Roger Federer! When is he going to retire? I wish someone else other than him or Nadal (or Djokovic) can win the rest this year. It's really starting to get boring.

That sounds simply awful. I don't know why these shows have become so full of nastiness and mean-spirited people. Is it supposed to be hip or trendy or something? Self-centered individuals without morals are being treated as heroes while qualities like kindness, honesty and decency are sneered upon and characters who have those qualities are being treated as losers.

Absolutely wonderful. Just like early Emmerdale Farm it depicts real people and presents realistic situations. I don't know what Coronation Street is like nowadays, but I suspect it mirrors what Emmerdale has become. A show that has strayed far away from its roots and is now filled with sensationalism and over-the-top storylines. It's very sad.

I hated this! When each presenter talked directly to the nominees.... it made me cringe.

Is it even possible to be worse than Sharapova? She doesn't grunt, she screams!
