Come on now, don't knock Urkel. He was the breakout character that saved Family Matters from cancellation.

A quick, painless death is always better than long, slow torture.....

Ugh, Steve Urkel....

One of the worst characters ever created for any tv-show throughout history.

So they have Taylor say "I can tell Finn is struggling with his conflicting feelings for Sheila"

HUH? We have NOT been shown no such thing, Finn hasn't been shown to be struggling with anything regarding Sheila 

Remember that Taylor is a world-renowned psychiatrist. So she sees things we mere mortals don't see.

I know you were joking! That aside, don't you just miss Debbie Dingle--the Queen of the Dales?!

Wash your mouth with soap. These are the Queens of the Dales.

I just adore you, @I Am A Swede. This is just me messing with you. I can just imagine your reaction of disgust though. It just has me cracking up.

I know. I probably should have added a  to my post.....   

ETA: I'm not kidding about my hatred for the Dingles though. I don't think I have ever loathed any fictional character as much as I loathe every single one of those creatures.

I was looking back in this thread and came upon this.... I miss these days so much.    

Emmerdale was such a good show back then.       And now it's gone straight to hell.....

sure. I highly doubt it's anything worse than what characters currently on the canvas chilling have ever done in the past and never answered for.

Well, let's see.....

She shot Taylor, Brooke, Stephanie, Finn and Steffy; she tried to drown Lauren in a hot tub; she held the Forresters, Lauren and James hostage at gunpoint and threatened to kill them; she kidnapped James and held him prisoner in a basement; she deliberately killed a man with bees; she ran Li off the road; she held Finn captive; she tried to pimp out her own daughter Mary/Erica to Rick; she poisoned Stephanie with mercury; she kidnapped Brooke and Ridge on their honeymoon; she tampered with Brooke's non-alcoholic champagne; she threatened to harm Thomas when he was a baby to keep Stephanie away from James

And that's just on B&B. You can add her crimes on Y&R to that list.

Seriously though, I don't know where they got the idea that the Dingles were the best family. I am behind on UK soaps, but I doubt they are the best. I would've assumed that everything going on with the Beales lately that they would've won this award but whatever. 

Congrats to the Dingles aka the first family of Emmerdale! 

You better watch what you're saying!!

I was just coming in here to troll you about this. 

 

Aren't they just the best family in soap history?!

she never burned down a building with people in it just to build another building with their name on it, and granted she chased someone off the road... but they didn't die. Thomas killed Emma Barber, or are we gonna pretend that never happened? And she never killed anyone by drunk driving. 

let's get a grip, here. Sheila is not better or worse than your average soap character in this day and age where Sonny Corinthos is the patriarch/patron saint of GH. If we're gonna get on a high horse and demand characters pay for their crimes or whatever, let's round them all up. LOL

I'm not comparing Sheila to characters from other soaps. You said, and I quote "Sheila is nowhere near the worst of the worst, let alone the worst of the current cast."

That's what I was responding to. And Sheila is, by far, the worst and most evil character on B&B, now and throughout history. Do I really need to remind you of all the heinous things she's done? Yes, other characters have done bad things, but compared to Sheila Carter they're practically saints. That's not to say I didn't enjoy her reign of terror the first time around. Kimberlin Brown played her to perfection and her confrontations with Susan Flannery's Stephanie were absolutely riveting. But that was 25-30 years ago. Now Sheila is a tired cliche, and she should have been put out to pasture long ago.

can we please just have Sheila go to therapy, already and integrate her into the families/cast? This is a tired joke, at this point. Bill, Thomas and Taylor are running around like upstanding citizens, even after the trainwreck they wrote each of them into in the past. Let it go. Sheila is nowhere near the worst of the worst, let alone the worst of the current cast. Let her live, already. 

O yes, she is. She is by far the worst of the current cast, and the worst on B&B ever.

Yep, SINN fans have peaced out as have Taylor fans, 2 huge fan bases right there

I guess Liam hasn't been on enough to blame him this time....

Emmerdale was a different show back then, less salacious and more grounded. It's such a shame what it has become in recent years.
