Members I Am A Swede Posted July 14, 2018 Members Share Posted July 14, 2018 With Michael Parr leaving I really hope they don't kill off Ross and have his heart transplanted into Sarah! Please register in order to view this content I realize that he will be around for some time, so maybe it's unlikely that they're going down that path, but with this show you never know nowadays.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted July 22, 2018 Members Share Posted July 22, 2018 So, did Lachlan kill Rebecca or is he holding her prisoner somewhere? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mikelyons Posted July 23, 2018 Members Share Posted July 23, 2018 Who cares? Haha I'm so angry with Emmerdale that I haven't watched in a week. It's just terrible... Absolutely terrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted July 24, 2018 Members Share Posted July 24, 2018 I care. If he had to kill again, why couldn't it have been Liv?! She's a useless waste of space anyway. Or anyone with the last name Dingle.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 24, 2018 Members Share Posted July 24, 2018 I think it's too easy for him to have killed her. He also couldn't kill her when he tried before. I think she's hidden somewhere. I have enjoyed the show a bit more lately, although it's still not great. I'm happy to see Sam getting more to do in the spoilers... (I know he's not popular here) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted July 24, 2018 Members Share Posted July 24, 2018 Even though he's a Dingle I'm actually quite pleased with the spoilers for him. It's a great use of history for once. (I can't believe I'm actually excited about a Dingle getting more screentime. The heatwave we're having must have affected me more than I expected....

Members mikelyons Posted July 24, 2018 Members Share Posted July 24, 2018 If he kills Liv, I'm all for it. She serves no purpose anymore. Aaron's still always fretting after her as is the whole village. "How's Liv? Where's Liv? Is Liv happy? Is Liv drunk? Liv, Liv, Liv..." Please register in order to view this content I've always loved Rebecca as a character, but if they refuse to write for her or fix this stupid, insipid brain injury, then let Emily Head go off and do something else. I do wish ITV would stop with the hour-long episodes of Emmerdale. 22 minutes is more than enough these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mikelyons Posted July 27, 2018 Members Share Posted July 27, 2018 What are your initial reactions to Matty? I'm very curious to see how others are reacting to this character and his (potential) story... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted July 28, 2018 Members Share Posted July 28, 2018 I have no problem with Matty, but as usual when a soap tackles a somewhat controversial subject it will fizzle out after the initial surprise. In a few weeks Matty will be just like any other character on the show, and his history will be largely forgotten. Soaps are so afraid of any real long-lasting controversy that stories like this inevitably becomes disappointing. I have to say that I don't like the hints of attraction between him and Victoria, but that's for personal reasons. I want Victoria to start having babies to expand the Sugden family, and unfortunately Matty cannot provide that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mikelyons Posted August 3, 2018 Members Share Posted August 3, 2018 Wait, so the only non-Dingle or Dingle adjacent person at Robert & Aaron's engagement party is Bernice (who I love)? Diane's in Leeds and Victoria's working? I can't with this show... I don't care about Graham. Why is he getting flashbacks and a special episode? Joe Tate serves zero purpose. He needs to leave town and never return. This storyline has been an epic flop. Without him seeking revenge on Charity, there's nothing remotely interesting or engaging about him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted August 3, 2018 Members Share Posted August 3, 2018 Haven't you learned that the only ones this show cares about are the ones named Dingle. The rest are just fillers..... Please register in order to view this content And yes, Joseph's return has turned into a big fat flop. Not surprising though, since we can't have anyone oppose the all-powerful and mighty Dingle clan now, can we? They must be on top and on the winning side all the time, and anyone who dares to do or say anything against them must be made to see the error of their ways and join the rest in singing their praises.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mikelyons Posted August 3, 2018 Members Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) It’s been a hard lesson to learn, but I’ve learned it. I’m actually shocked and disheartened by the dramatic shift in tone, style, pacing, and storytelling that has overtaken the show in the last year. There’s so much darkness, zero levity, and it’s insufferable now. Probably the thing that has annoyed me the most is how they handled Moira learning about Matty and having trouble coming to terms with the news. Moira’s no saint, but she’s always loved her kids and done the best for them. I was firmly on her side because he lied and avoided her for two years when she needed him the most.

Members I Am A Swede Posted August 3, 2018 Members Share Posted August 3, 2018 To me that was less about Moira and Matty and more about giving them a chance to portray Cain as the voice of reason and tolerance in an attempt to whitewash him after his involvement in the whole sordid affair with the acid attack on Ross. Just like Sarah's illness, in my opinion, is not about her but a not very subtle way of trying to make the audience more sympathetic towards Debbie. (It's not working on me though. I still hate that bitch with every fiber of my being) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
