I think he was even married to another man, and that was the deal-breaker for Kathy.

 

Has it only been twenty years?! Feels like Charity and Cain have been polluting the air-waves much longer than that.

I have no problem with Emma Atkins, but I cannot stand Charity (or any Dingle) and I have to admit that it's hard to read an article that is nothing but complimentary about her/them.

Asked whether she's keen to stick with Emmerdale for the foreseeable future, Emma replied: "More than happy, yes!"  

 

Interesting that Suranne Jones auditioned for Charity. I wonder how the character would have turned out with her in the role.

I've mentioned something like that happening before, too. Lisa could have been the murderer like Gwyneth was, but now that wouldn't fit. Maybe Faith can take her place? Or Belle, before she offs herself. However, because they have mentioned a plethora of Dingles existing through the years with various extras and short term roles as well, there'd have to be some Dingle event where a plane crash or explosion kills off all the off-screen Dingles. Except for Tina. She deserves a reprieve.

Considering she (presumably) hasn't been mentioned in donkey's years, I like to think she's disowned them all. Maybe she's the killer, then?

 

 

The children can survive, I'm not a monster. Their last names are Sugden which is a good start. Andy can come back and take care of them since we're playing fan-fiction. Daz too, after Adam briefly returns to get closure with Victoria after Moira is forced to turn herself in for Emma's murder by the killer. Adam takes Isaac with him. Scott and Kelly return and change April's name to Windsor. Samson and Lydia are run out of town, getting a rare reprieve from the killer. Ross retrieves Moses. Charity, with help from Jamie, convinces Kim to protect Noah, reclaiming his Tate name once more. Liv can move in with Victoria. Rhona and Paddy get the hell out of dodge with their sproggs. We really just need to make sure the Dingle name itself is squashed once and for all.

 

As for the killings themselves, I would start with Cain. He's done the most damage. He gets the most brutal death. Jasmine returns to help Debbie cope and they reunite, until Debbie is murdered. Jasmine leaves town heartbroken. Sam's death would be gentle. Charity gets the most epic death. Mandy and Marlon's deaths are swift to avoid their wailing for our benefit.  Aaron and Chas die together. Belle's voices come back and convince her she's the killer so she kills herself. End with Zak. 

 

Okay, I don't if know I missed anyone but I think I'm done with this craziness now.

I can agree with most of this, except the bolded part. Liv may not be a Dingle technically, but she is one of the worst, if not the worst, non-Dingle the show has ever had, so she will have to meet the same fate. Preferably in a most gruesome way......

@I Am A Swede this is probably a bit late on Emmerdale for your tastes but someone put up most of an April 1996 episode (I've also put up a few episodes on my Jerry Sugden channel).

Meanwhile, Inside Soap mentioned Kathy...mostly to make a dig at Malandra Burrows (the soap press seemed to have issues with her).

The 1990s were still very much watchable. The Dingles hadn't begun to monopolize the show the way they did later, and back then I still had hope that they would be written out sooner than later.  Boy was I wrong!

I used to wish that Kathy, and other beloved characters, would return to rescue the show, but now I've given up those ideas. The show is most likely beyond rescue by now, and will remain Dingle-infected to the bitter end....

    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. While others may be able to add numerous offenses, the egocentrism to force any conversation off-topic to focus on you is the most egregious act for me.  This is light entertainment, an interactive discussion, not the shallotpeel-hour.
    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so. 
    • I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either. 
    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
