Emmerdale: Discussion Thread

[DRW50]

Big summer spoilers, complete with a cheestastic photo shoot (Danny Miller will never live those shoes down) and some ridiculously OTT quotes from the ITV soaps guy that sound like he's been reading too much Daytime Confidential. The stories don't do much for me, but we'll see.

I'm still so worried for my beautiful Leyla

Uhh I read that and thought "what about David?"

Oops Alicia is married to David. Leyla is Alicia's sister.

Love the previews. That photo in the third link is HOT

Some spoilers.

Mike Parr looked incredible - so old Hollywood.

The whole cast looked great (Matthew Wolfenden yum yum...), although I didn't care for some of the gowns, and poor Charley Webb looked like a JLo tribute act gone wrong.

Verity Rushworth looked breathtaking, lipstick aside.

Do you have a link to how Wolfy looked?

[DRW50]

It would give a spoiler as it's during an awards segment.

That's okay, I gave up on that once I realized going to DS would spoil it for me almost instantly. Gimme Gimme

I'm totally exhausted but I finally made it through this entire thread this afternoon.

I admit I haven't been a huge fan of Ryan Hawley's but damn, I was impressed by his American accent in that clip from that unsold pilot. He actually pronounced "offered" correctly! Fantastic. That vowel sound (also for words like "coffee" and "office") has been many a British actor's downfall. I vaguely remember the Brit pretty boy who played the son in the doomed NBC series Allegiance f**ked up on his very first line which had the word "officer" in it-he pronounced it "ah-ficer." Heh.

Does. Not. Compute.

[TimWil]

In what way? 😗

I remember when WLIW/Ch 21 briefly aired Emmerdale here in NY on Sunday afternoons. From watching it those few months I'd swear that Dolly Skilbeck was its leading lady character. And a leading lady character named Dolly tickled me no end.

Thanks, Carl!

My boo is looking so yummy in that clip.

[TimWil]

All these posts and not one mentioned Elizabeth Estensen (Diane)'s amusing facial resemblance to Vicki Lawrence? I saw it the first moment I laid eyes on her in the mid 1990s and continue to see it.

I didn't know they aired any of the soaps outside of EE. How long they did they carry it for?

Didn't Corrie also have a brief US run? For the life of me, I can't remember on which network though.

[NothinButAttitude]

I know some people in the NYC area got to see Corrie some.

[BetterForgotten]

I think in some regions of upstate NY, they get CBC from Canada, so they can see the Canadian Corrie airings.

[NothinButAttitude]

Oh I didn't know they could get Canadian channels. That's neat!
