Emmerdale: Discussion Thread

[Bright Eyes]

VICTORIA is back.

Jesus Christ. Finally. Okay, so she has no school this year so there are NO excuses for not having her on screen. NONE!

Hooray More Victoria please.

The Characters I Love Are Victoria,Lisa,Cain,Charity,Nicola,Katie,Eve,Jimmy,Scarlett,Genesis,Leyla,Hannah,

The Characters I Hate Are Viv,Sam,Edna,Rhona,Sandy,Adele & Declan

Why do you hate those characters? Just curious.

[Bright Eyes]

Oh look at that, I was right!

[BadBoy93]

I might take Viv & Sam off the list because they arent that bad.

Edna is really one of those characters who annoys me and is at times quite rude. Like when she kept accusing The King kids for things they never did.

Rhonda i just haven`t got use to yet.

Sandy does not do much.

Adele i also havent gotten use to especially when they paired her with Andy.

Declan`s character is also i never liked. Prefered the actor on Waterloo Road.

They're killing off a dog in this way?

Not much shocks me, and I'm certainly no member of PETA, but I hate when shows use animals this way...

Honestly, Clyde is like my dream dog too. I love him more than a handful of characters on the show. And all for Aaron to go back to being a punk? Not worth it. They should have just killed Jackson off since they majorly dropped the ball there and start again.

[DRW50]

I think they knew killing off Jackson wouldn't have had the same reaction. The show has not done anything to make us believe Aaron cares about Jackson.

This isn't new for Emmerdale. Cain killed, I believe, two dogs, to try to hurt people. The Reynolds family dog, and then he poisoned Sadie King's beloved dog, Damon.

What bothers me is that this whole "let's kill someone off to make us pity the thug that cares about them" is so close to what American soaps do, like Todd on OLTL. Between this and the asexuality it's just tough to care about Aaron now.

Starting tomorrow, Vision TV (a Canadian basic cable station that's original mandate was faith based programming--whatever faith) will have a 6pm block of Eastenders and Emmerdale--Eastenders apparently picking up where it ended last Spring when preminum cable channel, BBCCanada stopped airing it. I haven't watched Emmerdale in years, since CBC stopped showing it, so it will be interesting to see where they pick it back up (and CBC airs Coronation at 7--so that makes a good 90 min chunk of UK soaps...)

[DRW50]

Can't wait to hear what you have to say.

I guess soaps are a faith.

[DRW50]

The guy on Emmerdale who is out to get Aaron, he was on Corrie last year in their much praised AA meeting. He's the guy telling the horror stories which repulse Blanche.

They both want Robert Sugden back so ... make it happen already! And wow, they are just horrid at knowing their histories. LoL

[DRW50]

That shirt is so ugly. He should have taken it off immediately...

[EricMontreal22]

I guess Vision TV has given up on so much faith, for Brit programming. Before their two soaps, they have two diff sitcoms a night--mainly old stuff like Father Ted and Last of the Summer Wine but this year they added Ab Fab to the schedule, which is kinda hysterical to me considering their programming mandate.

[EricMontreal22]

Well today much of the episode was about Aaron going to a gay bar for one of the first times--so I guess we're smack dab int he middle of his storyline which would make it about a year ago--Fall 2009 I think? Anyway, I don't mind as I never watched any of it online when it happened...
