Hey I LOVE reading your Dingles rant. Don’t get me wrong there

Belle is the only one carrying them and the entire show right now.

I enjoyed them when Cain had an affair with Sadie or when Debbie was with Jasmine. They had some great storylines in the 2000’s til early 2010’s. But I hated them in the 90’s.

Zak was disgusting but he became more humanized and likeable as he got older. I liked Lisa and Zak in their older days. 

The tribute episode was well done though.

If you mean Debbie, it's been confirmed she's not coming back. Whatever happened backstage with the show and Charley Webb clearly took precedence even over an occasion like this.

There have been much worse retcons. It seems like she's just sad because he loved his family and was a patriarch and so forth. Given her own issues (like a drunken father and her horrible relationship with her son), I can believe it. I'm glad they find ways to humanize Kim.

That's a relief.

It's been revealed who the mystery visitor to Zak's funeral is.....

90s legend returns to Emmerdale after 28 years and she has changed a lot

My question is why? Like Kim, this character had a "good" first run and a satisfying end. So why ruin it and bring her back.

The tribute episode made me realize that Emmerdale has the best younger cast currently out of all soaps right now (not just UK Soaps) and the soap itself still has some life in it. They just need to stop dragging storylines out til Christmas. 

I really love my Belle and have decided to start a rewatch of 2016 to 2019 with Lachlan and Belle!

2015-2018/19 was such a strong period for this show! It just reminds me that Belle got two psycho‘s

I wonder if they thought there were too many brunettes in the Dingle family. 

I have no real interest in watching but from what I've read she seems like generic trash the "good" Dingles can look down on. A waste of time. Tina was one of the most nuanced members of the family.

I've read that Tina is only back for a short stint, and that makes it even more puzzling why they even bothered?

  She's been gone for almost 30 years, so why bring her back now if it's only for a brief visit?

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind one bit if it is just a short stay, but it just makes no real sense. Tina hasn't bothered with her family for so long, so why now? And if they were gonna bring her back it would have been more interesting if she had been very un-Dingle. You know, an upstanding, law-abiding, successful member of society. At least it would have been something different.

    • It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes. 
    • The Amanda pregnancy was a blunder. Amanda and Sam were AW's best bet for a starcrossed supercouple. Young love destined to be turn apart by outside forces and misunderstandings . Battling for years to finally get together. Instead AW had them married and pregnant within a year.  
    • It is his fatal flaw.  He's smart, cute, and loyal.  But, a total chauvinist pig.  We're looking through a 2025 lens, but April's from a wealthy family, (that she recently met), she should be allowed to contribute to her own home. Especially if Draper is going to work for the Crime Commission, rather than joining Mike's private law firm (did I get that part correct?) How about smoking while the baby is in the room?  It all looks nuts by current standards. Raven was married to Geraldine's son Kevin, but had an affair with Logan (whom Geraldine also considered like a son). Raven got pregnant by Logan, then Kevin died (long story short).  The part you need to know is that Raven was bored being a mother to Jamey (check out my member name).  So, she starts going out to Elliott's club and leaving Jamey with April.  Logan is not happy that Raven keeps leaving their baby all around town.  And thus, Geraldine is not pleased with Raven either. Draper and Logan are frequently rivals in the courtroom.  FYI --- Draper is also Raven's step-brother (her mother married his father).
    • There is a time... till the old storyline is cleaning up... where it's still kinda annoying. For me it was. That's a personal opinion. But in 10-20 episodes more... you'll find yourself enthralled. It's not even begun. I'm so glad to hear your reviews! And excited of what's to come for you! 
    • Carly also has Nikki (Nicholas) with Lawrence. The easiest way to remember Chelsea is to think about how she was buried, stillborn, premature in a swamp and came back to life.  Or you can just remember her running over Bo/Hope's kid Zack.  Kind of ballsy to name her kid Issac if you ask me lol.
    • That's right Anita! Let her have it!

    • This is my other blind spot -- the children of Bo Brady's past loves.  Melanie:Carly as Chelsea:Billie -- but it is tough to keep them straight I dipped out during the Daniel of our Lives period of the show.
    • Yeah.  Let's just move on and talk about Jagger....lol 100% agree on the Sonny situation.  Mostly because I want Sonny to get a murder charge so he can just go live on an island with Brenda. I think Tracy did do a lot to explain Jason's perspective on AJ's murder.  I truly think that's how Jason justifies it in his own head. I don't think he was lying about his feelings.  They are just wrong.
    • I will never get over Sonny killing a fed in cold blood and everyone just shrugging when it wasn’t Alexis.    And then last week you had Jason white washing Sonny murdering AJ in cold blood to Gio.  
    • I thought it was impolite to stare directly at the car crash.  Consider it like polite cocktail chatter while our hosts bicker in the kitchen
