It's very true to life though - falling in with a bad crowd, and so on. I do think he is basically a decent person so hopefully it won't go on too long. 

 

I just hope this will mean more Leyla...

 

Emmerdale has such believable teens, especially compared to the 30-year old Louise on Eastenders.

I agree. That's one thing that I love is that teens are teens on this show. 

 

Speaking of teens, oh Gabby! She is a hot mess but she is a character that every person knows growing up or can relate to.

 

One thing that I am loving too is that there are no teen pregnancy stories! Praise God!

She turned 31 earlier this month but I don't want to be mean...

 

I know. I was sure we'd get one with Belle, or with Jacob and Gabby. I'm so glad there's been a break so far. The last was when Gemma had an abortion in 2013. That's a lifetime for modern soaps.

I'd be happy with a teen being addicted to drugs story over having a baby. 

 

Mind you, I don't mind teen pregnancy as it is an epidemic, but I hate it has been made a staple and some twisted right of passage of young girls on soaps.

 

I didn't mind Gemma's pregnancy back in '13 b/c it ended fast. 

 

I'm not worried about the teens on here getting pregnant anytime soon. *knocks on wood*

 

EastEnders, on the the other hand, I am.

On the positive side, this may make it easier for those in the US to see Emmerdale. On the negative, I’d say if you want to save anything from Youtube or Dailymotion or wherever you might want to do so quickly.

If it is easily available in the US I hope people will get to see Ashley's story, if episodes from this year are available. It reminds me so much of material Marland or Agnes Nixon or Bill Bell would have done...far more than anything on American soaps in years.

    • I have a feeling it was either coincidence or it was an idea whose time had come. Remember Bill Bell was also into the psycho-sexual. So it was happening more than one place. Pete Lemay began disagreeing with Irna quite early on. He shut up & listened at first, naturally because he had to learn the basics. But, as soon as he had, they began to have arguments, disagreements. They both were devotees of character-driven but the similarities stopped pretty quickly. Bolin as far as AW was concerned was nuts & bolts, or more $$$. It was all about the numbers. And the numbers were great, double the ad revenue & that went to the network. As far HTSAM was concerned, that was her baby, no one else's. It is so funny to me that Lemay started this by accident.

    • What did you all think of Hogan/Patti compared to the stuff with Liza and Sonny? Did you buy anything about Sonny and Bela? Has a recast ever decentralized a character as much as Sherry's exit did with Liza? Or do you think that would have happened even if Sherry had stayed?
    •     I think the three comments pretty much summarize my thoughts. The green is not pleasant. I think I know where they were going with it, but it doesn't translate on screen.  The bar at Uptown is actually pretty good. It's my favorite part. I totally get it having an East Coast vibe. I used to frequent a place like it and while I wouldn't necessarily call it pretty...it was a bit Kitsch but it had a vibe. This place is lacking the vibe. I know it's not easy to hire extras, but even having a karaoke night in the background or live music would change the whole feel.  Vernon and Anita having breakfast there was a great idea. Another place besides the country club where they could talk. However, why were they using country club china at an establishment like Uptown. It just seems a bit confused. I don't understand what it's supposed to be. 
    • Add me to the list of people who like Tanisha Harper as Jordan I never understood any of the criticism of her, to be honest. She's gorgeous and she's solid in her role. Sounds like a soap staple to me.  
    • Thanks for the walk down Memory Lane!   (Can you imagine what the synopsis for 2024/2025 will look like 50 years from now?  It'll basically just be a flowchart of who was the CEO of which unseen corporation, lol.)  
    • Yes . Its time to get these folks outta their clothes lol.
    • To all the fans of Paul and Lauren on The Young and the Restless:

    • Leslie is extra but she's told the truth about what happened back then. They were in love, at least he led her to beleive they were. I never go the impression that she was crazy or a hot mess when they were involved. From the bits that we've heard, it seems more like she got bitter and jaded over the years but when they had their affair? She was all good   Ted shouldnt stress getting Eva anything. Like he just go her an apartment, no to mention a job. I think his continued attention and presence in her life mean more than material things he could buy   June definitely knows those kids. She was lying bc she doesnt want to answer what happened to said kids
