True. Now seeing it, Julie could've lasted a bit longer if she was tossed back in Lisa's orbit and not tied to Caleb. I assumed that the Julie/Caleb pairing following was strong that fans might not've been for it. Would you have kept Caleb or written him off? I think that Julie hooking up with Jef could've been good too as Emily had horrible material throughout the mid to late 90s until they had her have an affair with Tom. I thought her pairing with David and Diego were dreadful and did the character no justice. Out of Emily/Diego pairing, the only good thing that came out of the story were the scenes with Em/Margo. That's it. Ooo. That would've been interesting (re: Carly/Julie). I think it would've been nice (like I did on the fanfic I did for a short time here) if they had went ahead and folded BRO and had Lisa, Carly, and Babs create a new fashion empire/conglomerate together or under WorldWide as a subsidiary. It would've put all the former town vixens together and building friendship. If Lucinda was involved, it could've possibly revived their friendly rivalry, which at times could've provided comedy with them trading barbs. So much could've been done with this show in the last 15 years that could've set it up to still be on-air now if P&G was open to it.

Where do you think they could've taken Julie had she stayed? Plus, with Carly already on the scene already taking her crown, would you want Julie reformed?

@DRW50, these episode are setting up for Julie/Caleb's departure aren't they?

Now you know it'd be too good to be true if Chas secretly protested the wedding. You know they are gonna have everyone be all for them, which is annoying. Even for me as a gay man. I want someone close to them to be an opposition for awhile. These week truly has highlighted (like you said) how much of a gap there's gonna be without Ashley. I feel like we are losing a patriarch on the show and all that's left is Eric. I guess many would include Zak in that too, but I've never viewed the Dingles like that. Losing Ashley is gonna seriously be like losing he moral compass. I would've been down for more characters dying too. IDK why they didn't kill Lachlan. To this day, I get pissed he's still breathing. I wish his ass would've drowned in that trunk; however, that would've resulted in another situation of Robert being pegged a murderer and I am over that bit. You already know that I hope they don't make Pierce nutty. Just have him breakup with Rhona and move that. Again, that man is too sexy to be tossed aside. Pierce can become the village manwhore, which is a role suitable for him as long as he's naked at all times.

I enjoyed them as when I started watching, I really didn't know much of their backstory; however, I grew to understand why long-term AW fans were offended by the romance. Carl had done too much to Rachel and Mac for her just to fall into a romance with him. I do think that they built them up well enough to win over a bulk of the fans, who'd originally protest the romance.

Idiot. He's gonna get Trump supporters shot up on election day listening to him. Sounds like a win-win to me. I agree. I hope they know that some people in inner cities are itching for something like this to pop off. Just itching for a reason to put a bullet in someone.

Idiot. He's gonna get Trump supporters shot up on election day listening to him.

Now Emmerdale need their asses beat tonight. While I still enjoyed the episode, it was obvious that James was gonna be the victim. It killed me to see poor Ashley push himself to try and remember the accident, but I knew once he saw Emma, it'd all come back. I think he is onto her. I just hope that Emma doesn't get word that Ashley might've remembered the accident and start pestering him. I do think that's what is gonna happen. I'm sorry but Pierce was sexy as hell tonight. That slight deranged look he shot at Paddy when he told him he was not needed was sexy as hell. He could look at me like that anytime. Crazy men like that know how to put it down in the bedroom but I digress... Robert diving in the water to retrieve the ring was romantic but stupid as hell. Ain't no way I'd do that. That ring would remain there until they retrieved the car from under water. So odd seeing Moira (of all people) being the one to convince Emma to go back in there. Did she go through with squeezing the tube to give him oxygen or did she run out b/c she couldn't push herself to do it? I do wish that they would've did more with Adam in this episode as James was his father. Given that Adam just lost Holly, lost John (who he thought was his dad) a few years back, and now lost his biological father, it would've been nice to have seen Adam have a moment with James before he croaked. Maybe it'll be addressed in future episodes. I hope so. I'm so excited about what's to come.

Thanks, @DRW50 for sharing the link! It was interesting to see how the scenes were constructed.

God Trump is horrible at this Al Smith dinner/roast. No humor at all.

It's okay, I'll wish him dead for the both of us. Unfortunately, I don't think I could be that lucky.

Wow. Emmerdale once again set the bar REAL high. The shocker for me has to be that James survived all of that. They better not have killed my Ashley off now too! Those scenes with him and Arthur discussing if Ashley will forget him (again) broke my heart. It only got worse (re: my heart breaking) with the scenes of Ashley forgetting he was at Dotty's christening were heartbreaking. Who knew that Arthur simply writing that reminder of Ashley's arm would serve as a catalyst of epic proportions. I knew Emma was gonna push James off that cross bridge. I just knew it. However, James was an idiot to tell Emma on that damn bridge that he was over her. How stupid. He should've waited until they were on solid ground to say that crap. At first, I thought Ashley was gonna be victim, which he might still be, but now I am thinking that Paddy might be the one to fall on the sword. I'm at a crossroad with that decision if it comes to fruition. Yes, Paddy gets on my last damn nerve and sometimes I wish his ass away, but IDK if I want him to actually die. I know Aaron's dramatic ass ain't dead. He has 9 lives.

You all know that Heather and Tamra are uber pissed that Shannon is first seat. You just know it!

I thought this one would be the strongest of the self-contained episodes, and generally I think it was. Gillian Kearney was great, and Bill Ward gave by far his best performance as James, especially in that dinner scene, which was chillingly good. Little things like the I DO NOT note he wrote in a fit of anger became a major part of the episode in interesting ways. I also liked that it wasn't as much of the camp crazy lady as I thought it would be. And that scene when he was trying to escape where he tried to chide her for not being happy that he had settled for her - it really showed just why she snapped and just how cavalier he was toward her, because he's so blinded by Moira. I'm glad they didn't try to whitewash him. I'm glad they didn't whitewash him too along with making this story be a typical deranged woman story. Emma's descent into madness has been good.

Wow. This episode with James and Emma was intense. However, I cannot pity James b/c he had numerous times to finish Emma's ass off. He could've shanked her ass with the jagged bottle remains after he hit her with it. He's just too stupid for my liking. I thought the outdoor scenes and it being foggy were gorgeous and ominous. I do not see things boding well for James.

I think she's delusional to expect to be paid the same amount as Teresa. Teresa has been there every season. Thats 7. She's earned her raises; Danielle has not Yes Danielle has! She made NJ the entity it is now, @Cheap21!

Danielle said she'd come back. She just wants to be paid the same as Tre, which I think is reasonable. The second people get wind that Danielle is back, the ratings are going to soar. Danielle was RHONJ the first 2 seasons. God I hope she resigns. I miss my deluded queen of NJ.
