I hope to god its not Carl that dies. He has so much more potential at being one of Emmerdale's most complex villians in its 40 year history. Might even rival Kim Tate as one of the best.

I actually think it might be Declan, seeing as SB said that the person dies "has it coming". Isn't Declan trying to swindle Megan off her money ? Maybe he meets an unfortunate demise.

Characters I'd axe are

Brenda Walker - No way to go and pretty much does nothing.

Priya Sharma - Similar and seeing as Alicia is coming back soon and will likely get with David, presents no other avenues left to explore.

Declan Macey - Only to introduce a new family into Home Farm

Cameron Murray - Dragging Debbie down and is just an uninteresting character

Alex Moss - Dull character and dragging Victoria down

Sean Spencer - Don't like the character at all

Ali Spencer - Don't like the character, Too shouty and show off

Rishi Sharma - No point in having him

Robbie Lawson - Poor villian. Kill him off or send him off to prison

Kerry Wyatt - If she isn't developed by Mid 2013, get rid of her

BRING BACK

Kim Tate, Nathan Wylde

Chas is overexposed anyway. Regardless, she did not kill Carl, Cameron did so if anyone is going next, it is him.

I have to say that I don't mind them killing off Carl. His violent death feels like karma. Too bad EE won't do the with Phil Mitchell.

If they needed to go there I would have done it based on his behavior toward his family, mroeso than the sudden violent obsession with Chas. The whole story of Carl was that he was so screwed up and weak he inadvertently caused harm. The end didn't seem like him.

So, they did it. They killed Carl, and made him and evil, attempted rapist to boot. More character assassination from SB.

What a horrible story. Cameron should have died. Carl should never have been ruined and written out. This story is so predictable. Chas thinks she killed Carl, and Cameron will let her believe it (or some variation), while Jimmy will be the number 1 suspect, due to his cuts and bruises from the fight with Carl. rolleyes.gif

The Gennie/Nikhil scenes were great. They had some good character interaction during the birth, with Val wanting her to mess the carpet so she could claim it on the insurance, and Lizzie the blind woman, being the only one not to have had a drink and fit to drive her to the hospital. laugh.png Sian Reece Williams did a great job in those scenes.

IA, too much Debbie. Her giving birth in this episode wasn't necessary, IMO.

I quite liked the Declan/Katie/Megan/Robbie scenes. Maybe it was b/c something was happening. Although, when Katie was recapping everything, she forgot to mention how Robbie attacked her, which is what started her and Declan's revenge on Megan. I guess Katie is the villain in the story. rolleyes.gif

The Live episode was produced well, and the acting was good, shame about the suck-y writing.

I think people are kind of over live episodes. I guess this is about what you could expect for Emmerdale. They were on the road to stronger ratings a few years ago but sort of threw that away with Viv's and Terry's shameful exits and the Jackson story, among others.

I feel like Emmerdale and Corrie are lucky they haven't lost millions of viewers the last few years.

    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
    • Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means. 
    • Oh, really? I think we're really getting close.  What does "apparently" mean to you? To me, it means that this is something I think has happened but not something I absolutely positively know to have happened. When I use a word like "apparently" as I have here, I am doing so by intent. Can you think of a better way to communicate that?
    • Wow...I was not expecting a montage.   I know SilkPress did not!!! Poor Eva.  Lol. Funnily enough I missed that.     
    • For the record, VW thought having the twins at their ages was absurd & who wanted that story, was some group of fans, who wanted her & Carl to have a chance at having children together. Not any fans that I knew of, but supposedly they existed. 
    • Brandon Tartikoff saved NBC primetime. Brandon Stoddard got ABC Tuesday to rebound and put an end to the Aaron Spelling hit factory.
    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
    • We can only guestimate based on other characters. Chelsea was said to be 23 in the first episodee and based on Marttin wanting to run for President in the next election, he's about 30/31. Eva and and Kat are somewhere between that  so Id say closer to 25 or 26
