Damn. Sayonara Wylde family, you will be missed. However, this will just cause more radical speculation on how exactly they all will depart. The worst part is, I really wanted a damn custody battle. We haven't a good one of those on a soap in forever. Le sigh.

I hope this doesn't mean the end for Ryan and Faye. (Crosses fingers, very very tightly!)

Just the opposite. All the actors have left on their own accord, unless you believe differently?

I hope that this was his choice, because Emmerdale would have been foolish to get rid of him. He was a great love-to-hate villain, yet he was also charismatic and handsome and just plain entertaining.

I guess Faye and Ryan will be leaving soon. They could take Will in but I'm not sure what stories they would have. It depends on whether they think James Sutton is enough of a draw on his own.

I'm going to miss the Wyldes :(

I wouldn't be surprised if Lyndon was encouraged to leave. Without Nathan's family around, the writers probably couldn't figure out what to do with him. Unlike Nathan, Faith and Ryan have connections with the people in the village so they may be safe.

Ryan has the garage but Faye, other than her relationship with Jai, has little. I wonder if they will survive.

I think they could have done a lot with Nathan, made him a real brat with an edge to lord over the village, like Chris Tate. They haven't had a lot of other interesting new characters (the Bartons are OK but they cast poor actresses as the daughters, and the Sharmas seem to have little storyline...Eve also seems to be a poorly defined character).

I don't think Kim or Zoe (who probably should return) will ever be back.

I think either bring Declan's family in, or bring people in who will stay long term, or just burn it to the ground. The Kings never fit in there and the Wyldes never had a chance to breathe or have any type of fun the way the Tates sometimes did.

I haven't watch Emmerdale for very long so I have no idea who Chris Tate is. However, there is no way that could see Nathan lording anything over the village without his mother to back him up. Nathan is a stupid cruel rich boy. It is impossible to believe that anyone in the village would be afraid of him. If Nathan had not set up Ryan, it might have been possible to believe that they could build a sibling relationship that would give Nathan ties to the village, but as things are now, I can understand why the writers would struggle to write for him.

I disagree. That scene where he bragged to Cain that yes, he had set Ryan up and that he was quite proud of himself for doing so was just the ounce of sadistic psychosis this show needs. The writers could turn it where, after Maisie and Natasha are gone, Nathan is against the village. Everyone takes their pot shots and basically blacklist him. It could come to the point where he swears his revenge, swearing that he will be revered and respected. He could get an ally in Eve once she truly shows her tremendous bitchy claws once and for all. Eve is just asking to get rich so that her inner Kim Tate/Sadie King can finally be unleashed. They would be a wonderfully sexy evil couple. And on and on ...

I just wonder which new characters will end up staying around. Aside from those I mentioned, I thought Jackson had potential, but after the show made it clear they had little interest in him beyond plot device, then obviously he isn't staying around.

The show has brought in some interesting new people but most of them seem grafted on and I wonder how they will fare in the long term.

That's too bad, he's a talented young actor (and doesn't have the "cutes" that a lot of child actors have), and he could have been interesting in a story with Ryan, if he had to go live with Ryan and Faye.

I have no idea what they are going to do with Ryan and Faye now.

Regarding a big future story, someone posted this at Digital Spy before it was removed:

      Thanks for posting this, fascinating read. It's clear how ambivalent Wyndham is about Justine. IMO, it reads like she agrees that the end of the storyline was bad, but reading between the lines I think she thought she was doing good work for the meat of it....which was not the case. As bad as the writing for most of that story was, it was truly made worse by her embarrassing performance. After the story concluded she kept falling back into Justine ticks, when she wasn't phoning he scenes in. Not to play Freud, but was it to tr*ll her critics?

      I wonder what Dana and Hayley's first scene will be like. Dana has fear/contempt for Bill, but I can imagine Hayley being curious to meet her.

      Daphne was just FANTASTIC today. I know people wanted histronics and it may still come but she was pitch perfect today. As much as I like Maurice she's gonna need someone just as strong now and it's just not him

      Today's episode was one of my favorites so far! TT's Anita standing up to Dana was perfect. I was surprised with how restrained Dani was, in some scenes, I forgot she was there. The ending "Amazing Grace" montage was brilliant. I like how Vernon's reason complements Anita's emotion. DD was terrific portraying her mixed sense of betrayal and humiliation. I liked her comment about how she condescended to Dani after her breakup with Bill, unaware that she was also married to a cheater. I am going to miss MJ as Ted and I don't agree with the criticisms of his acting. His conduct on social media is a different story. I agree that BC's Martin has come into his own. He and MM have also discovered some chemistry which allows them portray a believable couple. Eva is the most empathetic character for me. Seeing get locked out of the apartment was heartbreaking. I also liked that the writing for Kat has been much more nuanced than one might have expected just weeks ago. I liked the expression on Kat's face at the end when she was embracing Nicole. Kat has probably never seen her calm, poised mother so upset. CM's face portrayed a sense of discomfort now that the carer/child roles have been somewhat reversed. I believe now more than ever that Kat is Ted and Dana's child. Eva is Ted and Nicole's child. Dana switched them as insurance - if Bill came after her to take or harm Eva, Dana would reveal that Eva was actually a Dupree, giving her some protection. She would also be secure in the fact that her birth daughter Kat was ensconced in the privilege and security of the Dupree family. The way Dana raised Eva - "weaponizing" her instead of nurturing her as a loving mother - also aligns with this theory.

      @Paul Raven - thanks for reviewing the content for accuracy.  You know, the nice thing about AI is that you can teach it things, so I am having it review the classic AMC Tumblr to increase its accuracy.
