I can't really blame David after he was lied to on such a fundamental level even when he agreed to give up everything to move to Portugal. I guess they made it OTT so we would not side with either of them too much, but I don't think he was wrong.

I'm just glad they've shown Adam being rattled, instead of having him slick about it until the reveal.

Yes. It actually makes me feel bad for him somewhat as he is struggling with his own guilt about the affair.

But I seriously have to ween myself back into watching ED regularly as it is giving me everything I need in a soap just from reading recaps too. American soaps have me jaded to the whole genre where I don't like to watch anything soap related. Especially Y&R.

I'm right there with you. Until I got back into it last December I was just limited to The Doctors and soap reruns on Youtube.

Even now, there are big dud episodes (like Monday and somewhat Tuesday this week), but when it's good, it's so much better than any soap on now. US or UK.

I don't feel bad for Adam at all. He's just so stupid.

I agree re Charlotte Bellamy/Laurel. She's just fantastic and the despair in her face. The vitriol she was hurling at her poor daughter. It was just all so real and crazy. And despite it all Marlon was still about to give her a second chance. And you can tell he still loves her on some level.

Ross/Debbie/Zak was good too. My man is just too fine when he's in sweats

More of my uploads (the first one has a lot of present day characters...and Nicky Evans/Roy Glover shirtless), if anyone wants to see them.

Yes! In August a new volume of old "Emmerdale Farm" episodes will be released! Volume number 5, with 32 episodes originally screened between December 1973 and March 1974! biggrin.png

It's been almost 3 years since volume 4 was released, hopefully it won't be that long this time.

How awkward that in a story showcasing the alleged sexual tension of Ross and Debbie, Ross has far more sexual tension with the OAP gangster, Charlie. I know Ross has some daddy issues to sort out but it was glaring today as they talked about "a good hammering" and traded intense looks while having their faces pressed close together.

I'll be sad to see her go, but I love so much about Emmerdale these days it won't hit too hard. Her first couple of years on the show were rough. Leyla's character got hit hard and it merely felt like Alicia was nothing but a replacement, a placeholder. Of course, there was rarely ever anything to praise under Blackburn's noxious tenure. It wasn't until she returned from prison for punching someone in the face (who knew that could happen on a soap?) and returned under Kate Oates' renergized pen that she was anything much to watch. The Priya/David/Alicia triangle was dynamite and it culminated in a classic soap opera wedding that David and Alicia truly earned as characters. I just hope she doesn't leave poor David in the dire straights that Leyla did.

    • The thought has crossed my mind. Tricia Mann-Grant did say in her EW interview w/ MVJ and DD, that Leslie wants to be a Dupree just as bad as she wants Eva to be. I believe now that's the direction they are going in, that maybe she is just obsessed with the family. I could be wrong though.
    • True. But I have always had mixed feelings about that twist. Since I love the Damian storyline which already had twists and turns. Also I could not wait for a new powerful AND BLACK businessman to mix it up at some point with Victor. It just seem like another twist that was added on for twist sake. And also for a character (whether I love him or not) to hijack a new and refreshing storyline so they can be propped.    Once good thing that I can say about JG is that he loves to keep the Abbotts in rotation. So I could see that happening with Diane. I don't think she has mentioned her backstory, either. I would be intrigued. 
    • That's how I feel. Beats could have been played for the past couple months wherein Dante and Gio interacted and had a difference of opinion -- or something. I don't know. I do know that this crushing rant that blames everything on Gio is absurd. -- Reading over all the comments here about characters and couples, it's kind of amazing that we have any show left considering the number of times actors and writers and execs were given influence to make major character and story decisions. Too many cooks in the kitchen.
    • Lol. But Jeffrey was weak to mama. Leslie can go dead because anger is a great motivator via Martin defending HIS mama and just not taking ish altogether. This ain't how it should be. They need not run the show like this. It's too noticeable. The way Eva said mama reminded me of Penny from Good Times. Instead of physical abuse it's mental abuse.
    • Oh, I see! You posted this on the general retro soap thread because of the voiceover.
    • Yeah, I agree. It's part of the reason I have shade picked on Martin's Secret being so on the backburner that it was about to fall off of it. With Dani/Bill/Hayley being the main tale to start us off and backburned and the SilkPress storyline being well paced, but not set to explode until May, Martin's Secret was the other main storyline that could have been developed. And after giving it a nice slow burn to start off, the story upped and vanished in Month 2. That left the show having to rely on mostly B/C stories to stay afloat to various degrees of success. 
    • I loved those scenes, lol. I thought I was watching a stage play. But I do hear what you're saying.
    • Jason47's episode summaries clarify everything. https://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1990-1999-t14806-s150.html The construction company is "AJ Construction" (AJ = Adrienne+Justin).   Jencon Oil was building an oil refinery at the construction site.  This was adjacent to the park. Kirk Geiger played the character Chad Webster. The character Chad was an actor in the movie being made.   The child friend with Shawn-Douglas is his cousin Andrew Donovan. A few episodes prior, Andrew and Shawn-Douglas were at the park playing hide-and-seek. They wandered off where they shouldn't have gone, by slipping through the gate onto the construction site.  Shawn-D fell into the hole at the oil refinery. There were several episodes of trying to rescue Shawn-D.  Finally Carly rescued Shawn-D, but he was discovered to be deaf.  Andrew felt bad, but Bo and Shane both understood that it was an accident.  Carly later taught Shawn-D sign language. Shawn-D was played by Scott Groff. Andrew was played by Bradley Michael Pierce. pics here: https://web.archive.org/web/20070404163013/http://www.childrenofsalem.com/days/kids/shawnandrew/shawnandrew.html Larger context here: https://web.archive.org/web/20080614054207/http://www.bethsdayspage.com/days/riverfrontraider.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20080614054207/http://www.bethsdayspage.com/days/riverfrontraider.html
    • I had a situation last week where I could watch the new episode on Paramount Plus on my laptop, but it wasn't even listed on my TV as an option.
