Emmerdale confirms Samson Dingle's exit as his sentence is revealed 

Too bad there are still so many left....     But, it's a start. 

 

I can't believe this site actually used this headline

Emmerdale legend jailed for four years in exit story – as another resident is arrested

Legend??!!  LEGEND??!!

I actually did think Samson had more potential as a character than many other Dingles, at least as he got older, but the show doesn't have any real interest unless you are more closely tied to Cain, Chas and Charity.

I get the Dingle hate but they are s popular as the MCQueens from Hollyoaks. They are really beloved if you guys like it or not. That young boy was a talented one and was there for 1-2 decades and he may not be a legend but whoever is growing up on a show without being recast is a legend lol

And Cain is the most beloved guy from this show and people love him lol 

i mean what do u guys call a legend these days from this show? Paddy? Lisa? Bob? 
This show has not many legends tbf

Look, some people, for reasons I can't understand, love the Dingles, and that's their prerogative. I can't tell them they're wrong (even though they obviously are ) because it's their opinion and we all have a right to our opinions. (Even when that opinion is clearly wrong, as is the case here  )

You know, I was actually happy that they were adding a new Sugden to the show, wary but happy. But I should have known that this show would continue to disappoint me... Strange how you never learn, isn't it.

They might as well have made John's mother another Dingle, because he fits right into that mold. They could still have him hook up with Aaron, which obviously was their plan from the start. I mean, inbreeding is nothing new to the Dingle clan anyway. They thrive on it.

There's just nothing in it for me anymore. It breaks my heart a little, but I have to let this show go. I might keep up a little through recaps and spoilers, but I'm not going to invest any more into it.

Farewell Emmerdale (Farm). It was a good run, but, just like in one of your own storylines right now, one can only take a certain amount of crap before it's enough. And I have now reached my limit.

Annie, Amos, Joe, Jack, Grandad, Henry, Matt, Dolly, Jackie, Kathy, Seth and the others will always be with me in memory, and I thank all the deities that they're all gone so their memories will be unspoiled.

Have I died and gone to heaven??!!  There's a Youtube channel uploading Emmerdale Farm episodes from the beginning! Right now they're up to Episode 240 from March 1975!

I'm not sure I dare to give a link (channels like this has been taken down before) but if you search for Classic Emmerdale Farm you'll find it.

    • It seems obvious based on the initial material that Korte was going to take another foolish run at Jason and Carly a la 2021 and hoped Mulcahey being back would make it work, as he wrote such famous material for Steve, Sarah, etc. I think a couple good dialogue scenes came out of them together very early on, but there was never any denying that Steve and Laura have never had and will never have any romantic chemistry, plus the audience doesn't want it. So they pivoted to her with that useless dayplayer (Brennan) and now here they all are, spinning their wheels doing nothing of value on the show. I do think PM had planned to do much more with Jason's sons and that rivalry/friction, but once he was gone so was Jake. I've rarely seen any of the core mob 3 feel so totally extraneous and directionless on the canvas. Not that I mind. Anything that makes Jason easier to get rid of works for me.
    • I just edited the 1998 SOD Awards & Laura Wright won Best New Character for Cassie on GL. Also Philip & Harley won something of some name for them as a couple & when they finished saying their effusive thanks at the mic, Grant picked Beth up & literally threw her over his shoulder & walked backstage that way. I mean, it's great that Beth Ehlers is a good sport, right?

    • nothing. The story was put on the backburner while they focused on other stuff. I think thats one of the issues i have with the show in that it sometimes struggles with balance as stories will disappear for weeks and then reappear (Chelsea's throuple for example)
    • I HATED Infinity (I could care less about Kyle Sampson and his hanger ons and the dumb Lujack video, and Mindy and Kurt were strong armed into being a fave couple and married off way too soon (Jeva didnt get that big of a wedding.) I did like the Fishing Mystery (despite the changing of history..it was murky enough that it could be fudged) and the Cabin mystery started out good ..I thought Tony was hot and I liked Annabelle, it had supernatural elements but they did not overtake the story (i.e. Reva traveling through time..) and I love a gothic mystery.. however, it was bizarre that nosy Nola wasnt in the mix...she barely seemed interested that her sister in law was psychic, there may be ghosts in her brothers house, etc.  I don't know if there was a behind the scenes issue with Brown and Kobe, or if Long just wanst interested or felt tied up writing for Quola.  I would have had Quint blow up in the cabin instead of Hillary but..The big problem that the end result was...boring. Okay so there are black Spauldings..and they disappeared...so what now? Not only was J gross...(I can't believe the actor IS actually just as obnoxious as J) they made Chelle into an airhead horn dog going after her cousin. Yes, by adoption but still her cousin. I wondered why she was not calling Nola "Aunt" when she first arrived, and they barely acknowledge each other ( I would think Nola would glomb on to mothering her sister's daughter, especially with Stacy not in town, much to Ed's chagrin) but it was in service to...this??? Wait until Chele gets all horny for an angel...oyyyy! No one else in town reacted to Nadine's death,, cause Deas had to have his big dumb over the top reaction scene to Deenie's death. I can't imaging watching that scnene and thinking he was a good actor!
    • Happy to see this!

        I know, I'm getting the sense they expected Beaty to stay if they were going the rehabilitation route with Abby. A few weeks ago, when Michelle was dressing sexy for her date with J, she let Abby try on a dress and Rick then taught her what dating was like, and she went in and kissed him. They were clearly setting up the Abby/Rick story, but then suddenly it has pivoted to Rick falling back in love with Annie and trying to convince her not to go to Josh since he and Reva are secretly meeting at the cabin (Annie is getting unhinged here). But with Rick focused on Annie again, it would have left room for Abby to work with Brent, had Beaty stayed (at least this is what I'm assuming based on what I'm seeing). Rick is also now in Blake's orbit - they both just got in a bar fight post-Ross/Amanda kissing and Annie rejecting Rick's advances. They're together and Blake is now coming onto Rick while they drink... uh oh.
    • She is truly in such a delusional state that it's hard to know what's true but I'm sure there are some easter eggs in there. I am very curious to see how they utilize Leslie now that everybody knows who she is. If they do go with a connection to Anita in someway that would definitely be interesting. Anita was the first and only person so far that Leslie seemed intimidated by. 
    • I do get your point about the Q's stuff with Lois back in the day.  I will say there were a lot more Quartermaines and a lot more stupid, corrupted plotting in the 90's.  I think the show went out of their way to make Lois seem almost naive, unprepared for such an insane family The whole idea that Lois had to move far away from Ned and PC to raise Brook Lynn was a bit flimsy for me as well.  I mean, no judgement, but BLQ still got knocked up as a teenager lol.  I appreciated Lois was also hard on Sonny back then.  Lois could clearly see his flaws even if she loved him. Yeah, Sonny, Carly and Jason don't really deserve human connections with anyone but themselves lol.  I always have wondered if the show did want to re-pair Jason/Sam and whatever happened with Kelly happened.
