I didn't mind her either, but she'd lost purpose about 5-6 or more years before Sammy left. I admire her for taking the choice to quit.

 

I get tired of "killer Robert" when nobody says "killer" about the other characters on the show who have killed or almost killed people, so I'm glad he said something. I really think it's one of the reasons he doesn't win any awards. 

 

Anyway, Patsy Kensit wants to go back to Emmerdale. I wouldn't mind it.

I'm glad she quit too. There was nowhere else Katie could go. The character did all she could do. Or at least what the writers would allow her to. 

 

And I (too) grow tired of characters calling Robert a killer when half of the village have murdered or attempted to murder people. Especially anyone with the last name Dingle. 

 

YYAASSSS!!!!! ^_^ Bring Sadie King back! She is one of my favorite Emmerdale characters. But I need her ass back at Home Farm dripping in jewels and furs. I need her married to some rich loser with a scandalous, rich family with tons of secrets.

Totally echo everything you said. But...

 

BIB: ED likes to avoid that kind of thing these days. I think that's why a lot of HF families fail, b/c they are never allowed to be the rich, scandalous characters they need to be. The Whites are better than the Maceys in that respect, but no where near the level of rich and scandalous as they should be. By scandalous, I mean the inter-family skeletons kind. So, I don't have faith that Sadie would be written like she should be.

I have a feeling if she came back it might be for a Jimmy story. Knowing ED and Jimmy in recent years, she too would have his long-lost child. 

 

Home Farm looks and feels out of place and cheap these days. I really miss the cozy old office set, often with a receptionist (the best being Edna). The current perpetually empty office (we see [!@#$%^&*] SAM in there more than we see anyone else) and vacuous mansion (with no location shots whatsoever) only solidifies the out of placeness. Then there's Chrissie the perpetually whining victim, and Lawrence the sap. You know I never would have thought John Bowe would have sexual chemistry with men, and maybe the show has no plans to ever go there with him and Bowe may not even want to go there, but I wish they'd just try an actual triangle with Lawrence, Bernice and a man. Hell, if it were me, I would have had him sleep with Robert while Chrissie was away. 

 

As for Lachlan, unless he gets intense therapy I don't want to see him at all. The actor is more than capable, he's actually very good, but the attempts to whitewash him are not enough for me.

Mann guys I'm really worried about Jai. But at the same point I totally wouldn't bat an eye lid if he died.... Damn those David and Eric scenes are heart breaking. Loved Eric reading all these fools a few days ago.... I can't believe Debbie is married to David in real life...so unfair. But still my boo Ross is waiting for me and Kirin is looking so good these days

    • I see people saying this a lot but I always thought both things were plot points with a specific purpose. Martin running for president (something that would've been years down the line) was just to give us an opportunity to learn about his secret and that it involves Anita and Vernon. Naomi's lawsuit was used to develop her relationship with Bill and highlight his health issue. Those cases are almost always settled out of court so I didn't find anything odd about that, it was all about Naomi and Bill. I do wonder if Mike might've had better chemistry with Jen Jacob. At this point I feel he's right there with Derek in terms of being a weak link. He's a better actor but he doesn't have chemistry with anyone. These are the two characters I really hope they get a handle on in coming months.
    • From the original report, via Variety (December 2020): ❝ The project is currently titled Pine Valley, named after the fictional Philadelphia suburb that served as the setting for All My Children. In the new series, a young journalist with a secret agenda comes to expose the dark and murderous history of a town named Pine Valley only to become entangled in a feud between the Kane and Santos families. ❞
    • Yes; plus, it's supposedly the home of the trauma Alexis experienced when they were in that storyline, etc., a.k.a., another recycled and redressed set. Wouldn't surprise me, especially since Melgar did the "GH Live!" episodes and those weird-ahh outros we got. Although, given that Melgar has been more aligned with the views of ex-Jax, part of me feels like she wouldn't be asked back.  Probably because of Luke, and if Laura accepts Sonny, then the audience automatically will, too. I mean, because she does means you do, right?! Right?!
    • Yes, Portugal qualifying was definitely a shock. I'm not crazy about the Ukrainian entry either, but that was always going to qualify for obvious reasons.  I was a bit surprised that they had the video message from Cèline Dion already in the semifinal. I would have thought they would save that for the final on Saturday.
    • Of course. With my luck Frank would probably bring Lily back from the dead and pay Lilly Melgar to do a cameo with Sonny instead though.

      Seriously, I know I am late to the party, but why are Sonny and Laura bff?  They've always been friends or friendly although I never considered them to be super-duper close.  I always thought Laura mostly tolerated him for Luke's sake.  The way the show is pretending they've had this decades long tight knit friendship is just weird and OTT.  
    •   It's just so much fun!   She really was what made the show come together. I remember thinking what a mistake it was to write her out temporarily. I wonder how I'll feel during this rewatch, but I'm fairly certain her absence contributed to the show ending after season 5.
    • Thank you @Paul Raven The Kay/Kill stuff sounds like fire.   @soapfan770 I saw someone asking about old episodes you had... in case anyone has old tapes but not a VCR, DM me, I am willing to convert them for free.
    • I think Krista is too hot or her. I think the current actress works bc she comes across so basic. Thats not a dig but she feels very normal and relatable as an average suburban woman. I think if Krista was in the role, Id want more out of her but I dont think Jan is meant for bigger things
