He said in an interview that his character has become less popular since the Debbie pairing began, which he seemed a little unhappy about. I don't think it's just that (I think making him Moses' father was dumb, and he doesn't have the same relationship with Finn or April that he once had), but it doesn't help.

 

But he was just terrific on Thursday when Ross told Finn. I'm going to have to put that scene on Youtube if no one else has. He really impressed me.

That new copper was a total babe.

 

The focus on Sandy has me fearing that worst. Betty has left me, Sandy absolutely must remain.

 

It pisses me off immensely that Debbie is such a tw*t about Kerry. Debbie Downer constantly hating fun.

(if she seems subdued in that interview it's likely because a nasty tabloid story popped up this weekend about her getting nailed by a crew member and the girlfriend she didn't know about being furious about it)

 

Spoilers, obviously.

 

Today's episode was decent (mostly liked seeing the older characters), although the scene with Ross going off in the Woolpack was very good.

I'm not sure. I have a feeling it was the article.

 

(I'm always annoyed at anything she says about Chrissie though - Chrissie is not a "victim")

 

Around 1,000 people signed a petition to try to get STV (Scotland's ITV) to not show the episodes, due to similarities to what happened there a few years ago. I guess we'll see if STV agrees. 

 

Throwback Tuesday:

Help!

I am a SERIOUSLY addicted newbie, having just found EMMERDALE on youtube this month.

Following a friend's advice, I started watching the highlights of the Aaron story, and have gotten through hundred of clips from 2009 to 2015.

I adore Aaron, Paddy, Chas, and so many of the characters, and want to start watching full episodes from as far back as I can find them, not just the Aaron clips. (I must say, however, that the Aaron and Jackson story and its aftermath was responsible for getting me hooked, and had me crying my eyes out for weeks. I understand why people want to both throttle and protect Aaron; watching him screw up his life through bad choices is infuriating, but watching him suffer is just agonizing. I love, love, love his relationship with Paddy, and when Aaron called him "Dad," I lost it.)

Anyway, I also want to find detailed storyline and character background information, so I can figure out how those darned Dingles are related (LOL), and understand the past relationships of all the characters better.

Does anyone know of good websites where I can find in-depth character biographies and explanations of how the families are related? Synopses of past storylines? Full episodes going back as far as possible?

I don't know much about the show's current state in 2015, but the writing and acting from the Aaron and Jackson era was great, and I hope that I won't be disappointed in EMMERDALE's present storylines.

If anyone can direct this neurotically-obsessed new fan to EMMERDA:E websites, I would appreciate it.

    • Randy (Doug's friend who works for Joey) -- Joey told Randy weeks ago that Joey's plan was to get Doug into so much debt that Doug would be forced to get Vanessa's real estate holding turned over to Joey, to use for money-laundering.  That's been the plan all along, which the viewers knew.  The only thing new is that Joey finally told Doug this. I think Joey is written badly.  I also think Jon Lindstrom is doing "Now I am going to act menacing".   But I don't really feel the menace.  It's too overdramatic and it doesn't feel like a real person.  Jon is a fine actor on GH, so I don't know what's happening here -- the entire BTG mobster premise is badly designed/written.  I don't know if Guza pushed for a mobster storyline?  Or did Jon?  (Jon wrote a novel about Hollywood mobsters). It just doesn't fit.  It feels (to me) like this storyline for Jon was just shoved onto the canvas but it doesn't fit all all. Monday's scene of Mona coming into the "casino" to check up on where Leslie supposedly lost money in the slot machines -- and Randy explaining to Mona that there are no slot machines, there is nothing but the card room.  I had to laugh because they had characters comment that it's just a card room and not a casino -- the show is now acknowledging that there's nothing there.  If they are going to do this, then have it make sense for Fairmont Crest residents to visit a high-end glamourous casino, and not a random room with one table. So what money is Joey laundering? A while back, Joey told Vanessa that he knows about her sexual philandering because owns the escort service that she'd been using. But I don't care...  I'd just prefer that the entire mobster storyline go away. 
    • I caught up this past weekend. The show is better written, but I have been bored with the show. I did notice it ranked in the top 5 again this week, so that's a good sign.
    • I can't take this show seriously. I truly miss WJB writing this show. Bradley didn't inherit his dad's talent.
    • Maybe if there had been a good close up or two
    • I haven't had a chance to view the interview, but I'm glad Mike didn't get the part of Derek.  Derek is a badly written character. Any Ben Gavin screenshot from yesterday's show?
    • Wait, what? So, Martin’s not running for President anymore? Just like that?  I didn’t expect this storyline to be long term but I would’ve liked to see it play out for a little while longer, or at least until Martin’s secret was revealed. And definitely not fade out with a whimper. Sort of like Naomi’s lawsuit against Bill’s firm; what was the point of it all if it was just gonna wrapped up so easily and (probably) forgotten about?  Eva is still the breakout character though. I’m looking forward to seeing where she goes from here with everyone, especially if the twist that we’re all suspecting turns out to be true.  And I did find the gambling storyline interesting finally, now that we know Joey’s endgame. I’d like to see it play out and to see what happens to everybody involved in it.  As for Derek/Ashley… I wonder how it would’ve played out if they actually had cast Mike Manning as Derek. Yeah, the writing isn’t there but I imagine that Derek would have more of a personality lol and I also imagine that it would’ve made Ron Carlivati’s head explode
