Nathan's back! :D

Thanks to Lucy Pargeter's Twitter, it looks like Paul is returning for Jimmy and Nicola's wedding.

Fun fact, that I cannot wrap my head around ... the actress who plays Edna Birch played a prostitute in "1984." I need to watch that film again to see if I recognize her. LoL

I think there's a lot of potential in Jackson if the writers invest in him and don't just use and dump him like what happened with Spike on Hollyoaks. As he is now he's too good to be true but that can easily be changed, look at who Marc played on Hollyoaks! I think they should just bring him into the show on his own, not as Aaron's love interest, and let people get to know him. He has a lot of potential.

They're right not to rush Aaron into a relationship, although I wonder if they ever will, since Emmerdale can't get away with a lot.

As for the David story,

I still wonder if Ryan is ever going to have a "dark side", as was promised a year ago.

I think Sutton works so well with Alice Coulthard. Their scene last week when they tried to talk about her dating Nikhil and she was still too hurt to talk with him about that -- good stuff. I wish they could find out they aren't actually brother and sister. He and Katie just don't work.

I kind of thought Sutton would be leaving soon, but if they can find something for him I hope he stays.

Absolutely brillant. What more can you ask from Danny Miller. He was amazing in this epidsode. I cried my eyes out. He played it perfectly. BSAQ are looking extremely stupid because he topped another performance. Outstanding. Standing Ovation.

You'd probably hear a lot of, "Well he used a tear stick" or, "People only praise him because he's playing a gay man," or whatever. Some of the best performances never win awards, and this was one of his best performances. He really nailed those courtroom scenes but the scenes before the courtroom, when he was trying to avoid showing any emotion and when he couldn't bear to let Chas hug him, were what got to me. That and when he was in court and kept staring up at Jackson.

So many of the scenes were just about perfect. The reactions in the courtroom, the Dingles talking afterwards and Cain warning Zak about what not to say (the Dingles are much better now that the DINGLE LAW!! seems to have been phased out). I do wish Gennie had been there.

The acting in this story from so many people has been incredible. The Emmerdale cast never gets enough credit.

I love the Aaron/Adam scenes too. WHat a wonderful friendship they have. And it never gets too soppy.

It's truly an ensemble story, and one of the best I've seen on a soap in years.

    • While I criticize their hiring, I fully recognize that they didn't hire themselves. TPTB hired the actors and wrote for them. And no, no one would've been able to step into Bernau's shoes. Pilon at least conveys a certain Machiavellian menace . RR is just wrong for the role, but the subsequent writers all seem obsessed with pitting Alan and Phillip against each other over women. The Lewises, no matter what you think about them, only passed one woman 'round. Alan and Phillip passed around three---Blake, Beth and Olivia.    There is a moment when Van tells Alan--if we marry, don't screw me over or you'll regret it. So I wouldn't doubt that Van would've been the trigger in Phillip's takeover had Maeve stayed. Instead, Henry ends up tipping the scales, while Josh kind of gums up the works (I guess, I haven't watched all of it, I don't think most of it is up.) If they wanted a triangle, they had one--Alan/Van/Ross. With Alan and Ross' history, it practically would've written itself. Maybe our thinking is wrong...maybe Long would've put Van and Ross back together, and broke them up to set up the triangle.  I do think they were flirting with the idea of Rick/Chelsea after Johnny left. There's a point when Mindy comes back to town where Chels thinks Mindy doesn't appreciate Rick enough. I just think that it would've been too weird, having Rick fall for another one of Phillip's ex's, and Mo being her sister and his stepmother. Y'know I am all about any story that gets Van away from ****. Developing amnesia, becoming a bad lounge singer named Panessa who performs poetry in the park. ANYTHING. Did Roger and Billy ever have a conversation after Billy got out of jail? I know Roger told Vanessa he'd been paroled, but I'm not sure they truly crossed paths again. Part of that's timing, but I also think TPTB really just didn't want to bring up that past directly.
    • I picked a random episode from the beginning of November. Visually the show does look great. I was shocked to see quite the love scene between Claire and Holden. The LA bar set looks fantastic and there were EXTRAS! Still not a lot of characters featured in the episode. Liked some of the new music cues.
    • I saw the Lull scenes on X today. Why did they paint Lunacy into a corner? LY has been a gift to the show. Unless she's moving on, I don't get it. So Brad takes Luna out of the show and leaves us with Will, Electra, Remy and Deke for the younger set?

    • Even on mute, it looked all kinds of ewwwww to me.    That said...BILLY FLYNN though. MMMMmmm. I was not expecting all of that under those saggy clothes. 
    • I feel like they finally noticed in the viewing and online opinion that Dani and Andre are where the lightning in the bottle is FINALLY, SORRY, ASHLEY and started to run with it.   That said...I do still worry because it's clear MVJ wants to play Dani/Bill since they were one of the main A stories...helped by Timon and Karla also having great chemistry.   I honestly think they were not counting on a full blown triangle where people are taking sides. Go 'head, Karla Mosley!!! 
    • Like I said before, I was worried, but Jazmen really does have a thing for taking breakdown writers that are not my favorites and making lemonade out of lemons. I'm glad he's sticking around.   That said...I think today was the first time I found him having slang in his scripts jarring. Uh oh. lol. 
    • Count me in on not wanting Bill/Dani to be end game. It takes two to tango, and I think that Dani wasn't this wounded bird in that marriage especially when it has been implied that she's been mentally unbalanced for sometime now (and I think that could be part of the reason Naomi is just damn angry all the time). Dani will break Andre's heart in the same way that Bill broke her heart.  
    • I really hope the writers truly notice that Dani and Andre work and change plans. At the end of the day Bill was still a serial cheater and married his daughter’s best friend. Eva and Kat is my favorite rivalry on soaps.
    • You and me both. As it should be! Watching right now and just getting my life cuz their absence on my screen has been felt.
    • I would take her back as executive producer immediately (although, I do feel like Sally McDonald is doing well as co-executive producer). Josh Griffith as head writer is the most troublesome, but demos and ratings are solid, and that is what the suits look at for this soap, so unless a major slump happens, no changes will come. Plus, under Phelps, we did win Outstanding Drama Series twice (2014/2015) after a seven-year spell of not winning. But right now, I do believe where she is is right where she belongs, and I feel like she's happy being where she is.
