I Am A Swede

The uploaded old episodes are into 1976 now! This is incredible. There has been so very very little of 1976 available before.

Emmerdale won the Serial drama category at the National Television Awards, beating Casualty, Coronation Street, EastEnders and Hollyoaks. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx289zw7rkeo

I can't think of better news to start the day with! 🤩 It sounds like the debate went better than I even dared hope, and then Taylor Swift's endorsement as icing on the cake.

I guess this is how Steve Urkel reacted to the news that he helped Family Matters beat Dallas

I think Larry Hagman could stand being beaten by Being beaten by must have hurt though....

The scary thing is that there are enough of them to give him a bump in the polls. Any other politician (if you can refer to Trump as that) would have been dead and buried if they acted like Trump and said the things he does. It is still (and always will be) a mystery to me why nothing he says or does seem to hurt him in any meaningful way.

So, I watched the scenes where first Charity and then Cain were told about the abuse Belle has suffered, and while they were performed well enough it was very hard to watch especially Cain's reaction. It just underlined for me what a massive hypocrite he is. He has spent practically his whole life in Emmerdale wreaking havoc on people's lives and resorting to violence every chance he gets (from what I gather he's about to do it again to his own son) so it falls flat for me. Charity is not much better than him either. This is unfortunately what you get when you make characters like this the center of your show, and it's why I have such a hard time caring anymore. So many characters on the show are unsympathetic and have such a vile history that even stories like this or Lydia's rape backfires because they involve characters I can't stand and characters who have no right passing judgement on anyone else.
