Given the current amorality, probably a cannibal holocaust. 

I can barely stomach the current show but I've seen other fans saying that the Ellis scenes are being clumsily edited out of episodes, presumably due to the ugliness behind the scenes. What a mess. I hope this Meena story was worth it.

i start to hate those annoying producers and staff that take care of Emmerdale.. They lost a lot of viewers. They have an audience that still is mad at The Meena Show (even though some love the actress like I do).. and they make promises and teasing and teasing.

bruh get one story done before annoying the audience with idea u are not even able to fulfill . I’m really worried about those big tested storys for beloved characters! And when I hear that they already planning storys for 2022 to take into 2023 I am getting even more angrier. I hate that women in charge! I kinda miss Emmerdale from a decade ago lmao

there are some people returning!… and in the same sentence: but we are not sure yet!

This is how this whole show feels by now: we have great ideas and storys but we are not sure how to delievering them! Not even the bold and the beautiful is as annoying as Emmerdale since November

Hudson went on to describe one particular stunt they have in the pipeline as "epic", but promised that "at the heart of" the episodes, "the best-loved characters in our show are really going to be tested in some big emotional stories."

The best-loved characters from this show are either dead or long gone!! (And not a single one of them was a Dingle)  

 

"We're determined that we'll keep our audience on their toes for the whole of 2022," Shaw added. "Obviously we want October to be epic and it absolutely will be, but we won't be resting on our laurels until then. Some of what we've got planned for the first half of this year will undoubtedly go down in Emmerdale history as some of our finest moments."

I will stick with Emmerdale until the end coz  I grew up with it and even watched more then 6590 episodes out of those 9260 lmao 

But as if they are capeable  of pulling off a big 50th like Corrie did in 2010 but maybe they will surprise us…

I made myself a promise: If they kill off Kim i will quit this show for good! 
and if they would kill off Will and Paddy but I could tolerate it coz Kim would be still there! I know people are not big fans of Paddy but at least he is funny a lot of times!

I mean ED hurt my feelings at the big 40th when they killed off Carl King

Personally I think it was a mistake to bring back Kim. She had a great run originally, and one of the best, most iconic exits ever. All that was ruined when they brought her back.....

However, now that she is back I would be deeply disappointed if they kill her off. That would make her return even more pointless than it already is.

This re-shuffling by ITV has received some criticism. For years there has existed a kind of gentlemen's agreement between ITV and the BBC to not put their soaps (Coronation Street, Emmerdale and EastEnders) directly opposite each other. Now this is seemingly over. The question is, what will this mean for the soaps and their viewing figures? Will this lead to the death of one (or more than one) of them? BBC has recently invested in a costly new set for EastEnders, but with the show already struggling in the ratings, can it survive being in direct competition with the ITV soaps?

EastEnders is boring anyway for the last 2 years. I don’t think Grants return will save it lmao

Now with Meena on a break U can really see how clueless the writers are with all the other storys and characters.

Mackenzie like forcing himself on Dawn in front of Charity and Vanessa and kissing her. Like what the heck was that? That was so not Mackenzie and out or character.

The Pub Story he run its course in my opinion. I don’t even care enough for the new mystery buyer tbh

I mentioned years ago here that one of her kids, possibly with a family in tow, should be the new owners. Her and her other child could come accordingly. And how great would it be if the Skilbecks had already returned and most of the Dingles ran out of town (I'd keep Sam/Lydia/Samson+Sarah/Jack Sugden+possibly Noah as a Tate, let Kim get her claws into him).

    • This. I'm also reminded of something from the old Cinema de Merde website, something I've tried to carry with me. "(paraphrased) We will not let our dislike for a movie impede our efforts to engage with it."
    • I just edited a DAYS episode 8-27-90 with Eve, Nick, Julie, John, Izzy, Victor, Bo, Carly, some young guy named Chad, Johnny Corelli, business men/thugs from a movie that is going to be made & from a construction company, little kid friend of ShawnD's, ShawnD although he is at the bottom of a long narrow hole & is either asleep or unconscious. Full closing credits with voiceover: Next on Another World: Vicky, posing as Marley, will she be able to fool Jamie? Then, on Santa Barbara something about Mack & Gretchen, whoever they are. 
    • It's a sweet scene. I'm requesting Love of Life, please.
    • Paul, as for me, in general I am VERY interested in reading these. So, from my POV, you could post one every week & I would be all smiles. As for what shows I would be interested in: everything but Valiant Lady, Portia/Life, 5 Daughters, Another Life, that's it.   
    • I have read numerous places on line that Leslie/Dana may somehow be connected to one of Anita's old band mates that she obviously has issues with.  They were both from Chicago and Leslie/Dana stated she gave birth to Eva there.  If this is true it could add another dimension to this storyline.
    • Not only that, but Tony, Annabelle, and Jim had zero skin in this game. The Fishing Trip story had a huge impact on the Reardons and Annabelle because it was about THEIR relatives and how what happened to them shaped their own lives. People directly and indirectly affected by this--i.e. Alan, Amanda, Philip, and even Lujack--weren't involved in this at all, either because they were off the canvas or involved in other stuff. I mostly admire Long's talent for using the past to enhance her stories in the present, but this one was a huge turkey. We saw Brandon old and decrepit dying on screen. Even if we were able to suspend disbelief, why wouldn't he have wanted revenge on Lucille, who tried to kill him? If he wanted to go live with his Barbados squeeze, who would have cared about that by then? In the end, it had little to no impact on the larger story because they were too chicken to bring in that branch of the Spauldings into the main story (until later).  Just a really bad storyline that mainly existed to stretch out the GL stints of the actors who played Tony, Annabelle, and Jim.  
    • Agree to disagree as to Lois's return. Moving from the specific to the general, IMO, successful: Tracy, Lois, Lulu so far & Lucas so far. Questionable: Lucky. But I do not believe that having a romantic partner at all times is the be all & end all of things.  Reminder about how we got from there to here with Rena: Everything was a part of the great unknown, whether they'd like her or vice versa, so they by intent signed a 30 episode deal. Before they even got to the end of those 30 episodes they knew they really liked each other a lot & so they with mutual satisfaction (we think) agreed upon a handshake open-ended deal, which as far as anyone knows is how it still stands. What is good about that? Neither side has YET wanted it to end. What's bad about that? Maybe it is a little weird.  Now, it seems to me that Lois is not going to have time for anything or anyone at all EXCEPT the fallout over the GIO reveal for the upcoming future days & weeks & I do think she is going to take the brunt of a LOT of people's anger. In a way that has begun this week with Tracy being SO UGLY to her.  About Jason & romance. They're not writing any. If I understand what he's said from that podcast they never had any intention with either Anna or Sasha. Also, if they had wanted to write either of those, he would've been against it, although he realizes it's not up to him. (Finola has expressed same at fan events, etc.) (Others who have similarly stated their "preferences": Sonny does not want to be with Carly. Carly does not want to be with Sonny. So, these preferences Jason, Anna, Sonny, Carly, they all work out & none of them is having the show want those pairings either, so, again, works out.  About these writers & romantic couples, they spent a year blowing up every couple that existed. Now a few months has gone by & they have YET to create even one new couple. The only thing that has come close is Lucky & Liz. 
    • I find it hard to believe that they actually watched the same version of "Steel Magnolias" that I did. Are we sure they didn't watch the horrible re-make?

      Oh dear lord, did you have to remind me of that?!! That was definitely not Sally Field's finest hour, and Abby (Maura Tierney's character) was surely one of the most depressing characters ever written for tv or film. I'm not sure she cracked a smile even once during all her years on ER.  
    • I always thought Lois was such a unique character and considered her supporting her first run.  She was in a lot of different places on the canvas, but I don't think she had more focus than Brenda or Robin at her peak. With Ned basically out of the picture Lois doesn't quite have enough ties on the canvas to make her relevant and the show has done very little to give her new relationships and friendships.  She's stuck in the Q mansion most of the time. Oh, I agree it's a problem across the board for GH.  The only stable couples on the show are Brook Lynn/Chase and Portia/Curtis.  Unseen Olivia/Ned and Kevin/Laura are happily married I suppose.   Eventually I am sure Liz/Lucky and Dante/Lulu will get their romance, but is there any other couple that's even rootable?   I can't recall an era when Jason, Carly, and Sonny were all at such loose romantic ends at the same time.   Which is fine.  However no other romance besides Willow/Drew is being focused on.
