Emmerdale: Discussion Thread

[Bright Eyes]

I found this on the DS board. They should make it a Christmas tradition. I love it.

These days a Christmas tradition on Emmerdale would be an orgy followed by suicide.

[DRW50]

Kelly's going soon. I guess she came back just long enough for Emmerdale to trash her character. Fun.

That's what I was thinking. They salivated at being able to ruin another legacy character. And what pisses me off the most is that my pipe dream for Scott to return (moreso to see the absolutely sexy Ben Freeman on a regular basis) is cut significantly.

Maybe next they'll say Robert use to molest Victoria. WATCH!

2 down, 2 to go!!!!

Now just shut Home Farm down and start culling other wastes of space.

[Bright Eyes]

Aw, you use to believe Declan had some good potential for the show. Have his family ruined him for you?

[DRW50]

The family but also the decision to make him into yet another smug and cold bully. Emmerdale already has about 10 of those, who needs more?

So which characters would you dump?

I'd get rid of every teenage character who isn't named Victoria. I would also get rid of Bob, Hazel, Brenda, Katie, Jai, Leyla's sister...

[Bright Eyes]

What a can of worms ...

First, I'd want to keep Kelly and Eve.

Exits (other than those already announced): Alex Moss (the new farmhand), Cameron, All the Maceys/Bartons, Hazel, Bob, Brenda, Jai, Alicia, Leyla, Lizzie, Amy, Sandy, the King's, Nicola and Rodney, Aaron, Pearl, Rhona/Marlon/Paddy & Katie.

On the fence: Cain, Zak, Charity, Chastity ...

Of course, this wouldn't all happen at once, but gradually as I brought in some past characters who would fit nicely back in the village. Like the remaining Windsors, Biff Fowler, Zoe and the children, Kathy and her family, Steph, Bernice, Robert, Paul, Tina, Daz, etc ...

And yes, I'd recast if I must. I'm cutthroat, yo!

The fun never ends in Emmerdale. The latest rumor going around is that

I also read a rumor at DS that the show planned to give Nathan the story about stalking Katie and setting fire to the village, and that's why Lyndon quit. If so I like Lyndon even more now! What a trashy, sick story to give a character that you could have used for years and years.

If they wanted to utilize some history why not bring in Sam Skilbeck, Matt and Dolly's son. He should be in his late twenties now (being born around Christmas 1982).

[DRW50]

The people running Emmerdale now don't seem to care about its history. If they did then the Skillbecks would be back. I would also say that Matt's twins with Peggy weren't really dead.

[Bright Eyes]

Hallelujah, it's official.

Though this still leaves many, many unwanted folk in the village, at least this barricuda of annoyance will be gone forever.

Very exciting news! Emmerdale Volume 3 will be realesed on May 30th! On this we'll get to see the following storylines:

"Henry Wilks plan to modernise and intensify farm operations, and the resulting conflict with Matt Skilbeck and Jack Sugden; Peggy Skilbeck's tragic death; the arrival of doctor Clare Scott; and the ongoing tribulations of the teenage Joe Sugden. At the Woolpack, meanwhile, Amos is desperately seeking staff, and the return of barmaid Alison causes more than a little friction."

Oh, and Carl, one of your favourite Hollyaoks actors joins Emmerdale next Thursday. Matt Milburn, who played Joe Spencer (R.I.P) I can't wait to see how they underuse and waste him like they do with more than half the cast.

Really? I barely get through Emmerdale a few times a month. I dread to think how they will ruin him. He was great on Hollyoaks. Fun and goofy, yet capable of seriousness when he had a chance. I hope Emmerdale doesn't fail the way they have failed so many others.

Who is this new guy being brought in for? What's the point? A new love interest for Katie?

I'm quite happy with all the soon-to-be cast exits; they're either pointless, underused or underdeveloped and don't bring anything to the show being stuck on the backburner for months, so it's good they're going.

That's: Scarlet, Eve, Roz, Jackson, Hazel, Mia, Declan's Dad (forget his name).
