His character wasn’t needed anyway anymore with that bloated cast. He’s better off on another show

Hey I LOVE reading your Dingles rant. Don’t get me wrong there Belle is the only one carrying them and the entire show right now. I enjoyed them when Cain had an affair with Sadie or when Debbie was with Jasmine. They had some great storylines in the 2000’s til early 2010’s. But I hated them in the 90’s. Zak was disgusting but he became more humanized and likeable as he got older. I liked Lisa and Zak in their older days. The tribute episode was well done though.

Now I remember. I mean I watched them episodes when I was very young and remember that they were boring and it reminded me somewhat of a Pete Jennings rip off. Thank you so much @JAS0N47 for the information. Very kind of you. I did liked Emilio in a way but he felt more like a pretty face than an actual character. Like I said earlier he was likeable but that’s all. I have to admit that I’m a die hard JnJ Fan so that plays a factor in it. I’m biased. @carolineg wow I didn’t knew he was on the Fame show. I remember in early 1990 when Sarah was introduced back to the show that Emilio and Sarah were dancing on a professional level and singing. It was funny lol

Didn’t she had two brothers or am I mistaken? Emilio and another one but I can’t remember his name. That whole family was so damn boring. Emilio was likeable I will give him that but was it worth it to drag out the Jack/Jennifer storyline? Hell nah lol

I actually liked Mike and April BUT the thing that really hurt this couple was the Nick angle and that it dragged on for so long. If they would’ve cut that Nick part a bit shorter and gave them a proper relationship it would’ve worked much better. I mean he wasn’t bad looking and a decent actor overall.. AND he had chemistry with the cast especially Eve.. Like some said before they tried so hard to work them as the new IT Couple of days

It’s weird that it’s just here that the Dingles get so much hate. When I look at Facebook, Instagram etc. The Dingles seem really beloved. some even say without the Dingles there is no Emmerdale lol (which I find ridiculous) BUT they are very popular in the UK

The actor retired from acting so I’m glad he came back and will take whatever HE is willing to give us lol

That’s how I felt about it too. What was the point? But between the 1989-1992 there were a lot of storylines and abrupt endings to them where u thought: what was the point of caring ? and about Mike.. I always wondered why they never made him more prominent with a family? I am a die hard Carrie and Austin fan but why not moving on from them and making Carrie and Mike a couple with a family? everytime I think about Mike it’s only the abrupt exit and his long dragging romance with April and his shirts or the Carrie and Mike thing. Lol I thought when they teased his return that it would be longer. I was so dissatisfied:( but it was good seeing him again True! And this was one of the few storylines keeping me glued and Shane’s running around town with amnesia with Rebecca Downey lol only two storylines that I loved of 1989-90 and John/Roman with Isabella

Thanks to the replies guys. i remember when i started Days back then Nick/April/Mike were a thing. I remember they threw them at us in nearly every episode. when they finally moved on from April and Nick and gave April and Mike their happy end Mike left the show. I was really mad as a child. Like what the actual hell? We waited for April and Mike to happen for so long with the obstacle that was Nick just for Mike to leave so randomly and abruptly? Still doesn’t sit right with me lol i collect old magazines and I do notice that they were kinda forcing the Nick/Eve pairing on the readers. They did have chemistry I will admit and Nick became a bit more likeable after his villain arc ended. BUT I’d rather have a pimp like Nick being a romantic lead with staying power over a damn serial killer with a tumor like Ben Weston lol

Phil and Harper’s affair is the longest dragged out affair on shorty that no one actually cares for from the audience. Such a flop! and that weird and dumb Drew/Nicole thing thrown in didn’t helped either. Ugh

The time jump was such bs. Hollyoaks struggled a lot this year and not just because of reducing the episodes and axing fan favorites. The JJ-Frankie storyline is as really something “new” for that soap genre and well done. BUT NOW they made the abuser JJ sick so Frankie will struggle to go on to get him behind bars. I don’t know what they were thinking with this and what they will do with this now but it’s a slap for all fans of that storyline that wanted real justice. I mean do they want us to feel sorry now and redeem that dude that abused his sister? This storyline alone is a reason now for oaks to be cancelled next year lol Mercedes is sick too. Ugh. Great acting overall and with the right material Jen delivers and shows she can be more than a slapper. im not really feeling oaks anymore which is a shame

I love this show and enjoy the classic episodes so much right now. But you can tell that since Covid the writing was definitely on the wall. We got some good stuff here and there but the overall Charme was lost and it felt a bit lifeless. cant wait to see how they wrap it up this show

Was Nick Corelli popular ? I mean the show intruduced him weirdly during the early 80’s as a pimp and brought him back so randomly in 86. They did have him so many screentime and storylines with Eve + his tumor or whatever illness he had + his triangle with April and Mike. so I assume he must’ve been pretty popular with the audience?

Oh no another big loss for the soap community:( at least he was 95 and has such a long life.

This was the most tasteless bs I’ve ever seen on soap operas and they are all in a bad shape. But this was distasteful… I get what they were aiming for but it was just off. I mean I’ve been to the UU fan event and love this show but this AI thing made me worried. what if we don’t need actual soap stars anymore and create them all together with AI? and adding some Margot offspring’s? Ugh

Only time I loved some of the Dingles was during the 2000‘s when Debbie (which I hate normally) in a Lovestory with Jasmine played by Jenna Coleman. Charity‘s first exit. Belle and Lachlan‘s story and belles mental illness. Belle Dingle is the only Dingle worth keeping I wish they would’ve built more to the King Family. i don’t think it’s their actors fault to be honest. But we will never get rid of them coz the people from the UK will always love Cain and the Dingles and vote them as best family at every award show there is

But why? They rehired him as another character in 05 or 06 if remember correctly.. Gosh I always love hearing Abe talking and giving advice to other characters for years

Wow I didn’t knew Wayne was fired. That makes me even more upset about Roman becoming a secondary c-character. i loved Wayne as Roman during the Salem slasher storyline between 83-84..

Some probably for John’s funeral I assume

I know the dingles hate around here BUT Belle‘s character is kinda carrying the show on her back right now tbh. BUT since the shocking episode of the „showdown“.. The story of Tom and Belle has been a letdown and the writers adding more and more bs to drag Tom’s demise out til Christmas. You can really tell. It started as an awareness storyline and people actually caring for it but now it’s too far fetched and ridiculous. Not even Meena‘s storyline became that dragged out like this. I really wanted to say Kim is carrying this show on her back too with her little revenge on Will but this year it definitely has been Belle. BUT they really have to end this storyline coz it lost its momentum they built up and gave us last week

No offense… BUT she always looked like she never wanted to be there anyway and was phoning in her scenes since like Billy miller left. The last 5-6 years she had no big storylines that were memorable or even interesting. I loved Kelly since the Port Charles days as Livvie but her character has been dead weight for years. She has no chemistry with Dante and her scenes with her family seemed like she was bored and zoned out. I was more upset about Stuart Damon’s axing or genie Francis.. hell I was even more upset when they let go of Steve and Kayla at the end of the 00‘s from Days OFC it’s upsetting to lose a job after 2 decades BUT was it really a blindside? She could’ve taken the paycut and still be a part of this show.. it’s not the 00‘s or 80‘s where soaps have big budgets anymore.

Martha (Belle) her post really hit me hard.. Last time I was really feeling John‘s character for real was when Belle was framed for Charlie dales murder by Jan.. Drake really played his hard out when he thought his baby girl killed him. I know some may not liked his take on the character here and there but I really enjoyed him very much. He created so many chemistry over the years with his co-stars.. he will be missed so hard

Rest in peace.. What a shocker i never expected this He was still a better Roman (fake Roman) than the current one

I have to say that her character has been dead weight for far too long to be really upset about it even though she was there for 2 decades. I loved her back in the day but something was missing for years with her character. i have to say I was more heartbroken when they got rid of Alan Quartermaine/Stuart Damon

Thank u so much
