You weren't speechless over my 5000000 word post above that? :lol:

It is a bit odd isn't it. Just shows how many different genres and phases Emmerdale has gone through over the years.

That was when soaps used to release videos all the time. Did you ever see any of those where the Dingles went to Venice, and then to Australia?

Carl, I absolutely love your longer posts. And trust me, reading them, they don't seem long at all. And again, no, I wasn't even aware any other videos like The Woolpackers existed. Number 5 on the UK charts? I'd expect Corrie and EastEnders to do that well, but the 'Dales. Color me shocked.

Regarding Terry: That has to be a testament to the actor, at least in part, to be on the show for 15 years without any strong family ties, basically working as an individual for most of his run.

With you mentioning his previous close ties to Zak, I don't see why they don't play that relationship up more, with Gennie being his step-daughter and all.

And again, being a newer viewer, I would have never guessed Viv/Terry had such a history. This is all very fascinating to me.

And something I forgot to respond to before ... I totally agree about Moira, I don't really like her much either. But yes, that scene was Eve was pretty darn good. Smart bitchiness is always fun to watch, instead of just meaningless insults. Though I did love, a few weeks ago, that line Nicola had about Viv's children being a thug, an adulterer and ... what was the last one?

Anyway, I'm off to watch Episode #3 on YouTube now.

Tuesday's show:

It was quite amusing that John/Moira ever thought they could win against Cain. Even though Cain was technically in the wrong, I feel the Barton turmoil is payback for not knowing their place. :lol:

Now, I simply must ask, where the F.UCK is Charity at? I miss her. :(

YES, WE GOT AN AARON/VICTORIA SCENE! Why the hell was it so short? Do the writers not see the GOLDMINE they have in their friendship. The two actors are one of the best soap pairs to come around in LONG LONG time.

And Vivian. God, I feel so bad for her. The writers do a great job of showing her humanity and her cow-ness all at the same time.

Hmm, I really hope they don't close the Wylde shop. I don't want Doug/Layla's relationship to end anytime soon. They're always a nice treat together.

Regarding Nathan, I've been wondering why he hasn't pulled the blackmail card yet, but alas, his little good son act will quickly be coming to an end. :)

It's a good idea you have there. Cain basically has become Viv, a fussy old gossip. I do like that they are trying to show another side of Cain through his support of Aaron. I just wish they'd figure out what to do with Charity and Cain.

I'm glad they may be closing down that village shop, it's always seemed out of place to me. I hope they won't just put Layla and Doug at the candy factory, I don't like that place, who wants to see people standing around wearing those caps on their heads? It reminds me of Silkwood.

I loved Natasha's line about wanting to see Declan in jodphurs.

The actor is available, since Kingdom was canned. I guess they could recast though. I don't know if I can see him with Gennie, he usually likes the more hot babe type.

Did you know that Nicola took his virginity.

    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
    • That's a great point. I wish the writing could find those nuances.
    • After all Lulu's been through with her coma and missing years I can get her being on the sensitive side especially when talking to her mother.  I was thinking it was more a culmination of everything than just this one particular problem. 
    • I see her moral dilemma, too, and I don't think Lulu was out of line. I just felt it was overboard for her to break down in tears over her dilemma.
    • I also think the fact Lulu chose abortion and Brook Lynn chose to give a baby up for adoption instead when they were in similar situations adds another layer to this.  The writing doesn't really state this, but I can see Lulu slightly spiraling about thinking she could have an adult child out there if she made a different choice.  Both woman made the right choices for themselves at the time, but I can see both making parallels to their decisions.
