Nathan's back! :D

Thanks to Lucy Pargeter's Twitter, it looks like Paul is returning for Jimmy and Nicola's wedding.

Fun fact, that I cannot wrap my head around ... the actress who plays Edna Birch played a prostitute in "1984." I need to watch that film again to see if I recognize her. LoL

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;">Sian Reeves has revealed she has become the object of hate as people confuse her with her villainous Emmerdale character, Sally Spode. The West Bromwich-born actress, who filmed her final scenes as bunny-boiler Sally months ago, has been taken aback by the amount of confrontations and abuse from strangers.

"I've even had it from members of staff on trains, including one stewardess who came storming up to me, looked me in the eye and said, 'My husband absolutely hates you' - I've had people coming up to me and pretending to stab me with a pair of scissors and some of the abuse has actually been quite personal," she told the Daily Mirror.

Sian, whose alter-ego terrorised vicar's wife Laurel in the ITV soap, added: "When it first happened, I thought it was being done in a tongue-in-cheek way but then I realised there was some real hatred in people's eyes."

'Emmerdale' actor: 'Aaron won't change'

'Emmerdale' actor: 'Aaron won't change'

Emmerdale star Danny Miller has said that viewers should not expect to see his character Aaron Livesy undergoing any dramatic personality changes over the coming months.

Aaron's current gay storyline will reach a climax next week as a court appearance sees him speaking openly about his sexuality in a bid to avoid a custodial sentence after being accused of a homophobic attack.

Despite Aaron reaching the turning point following weeks of self-doubt, Miller told DS that there will be no overnight solution to his other personal problems.

Speaking of Aaron's relationship with mom Chas (Lucy Pargeter), the actor explained: "Funnily enough, he does eventually start to soften towards her. It's about four or five weeks after the trial.

"We don't want it to happen too much, though, otherwise he'll be changing just because he's come out as gay. We don't want to change his character - he'll always be the same person he is, it just so happens he's gay. I think it's working really well."

Asked whether Aaron's love interest Jackson Walsh (Marc Silcock) will remain in the village, he replied: "I don't know. It would be too convenient for Aaron to settle down and be happy with the first guy he meets, though.

"It'd be too unlike Aaron to be all lovey dovey with someone and change the way he is. The key to Aaron's journey is that he'll be staying the way he is - bringing people close and pushing people away."

I think there's a lot of potential in Jackson if the writers invest in him and don't just use and dump him like what happened with Spike on Hollyoaks. As he is now he's too good to be true but that can easily be changed, look at who Marc played on Hollyoaks! I think they should just bring him into the show on his own, not as Aaron's love interest, and let people get to know him. He has a lot of potential.

They're right not to rush Aaron into a relationship, although I wonder if they ever will, since Emmerdale can't get away with a lot.

As for the David story,

it sounds a bit like a mini-story that won't go anywhere, but could work. I don't know much about the actress. David is so gorgeous and the actor is very good when he has the chance.

Sutton promises more Ryan in 'Emmerdale'

Tuesday, May 11 2010, 11:35am EDT

By Kris Green, Soaps Editor

Emmerdale actor James Sutton has promised that viewers will be seeing more of his character Ryan Lamb in the coming months.

The 27-year-old told DS on the red carpet at this year's British Soap Awards that there is a "massive" storyline on the horizon for him and his screen family.

He said: "We have massive, massive [stuff] coming up. The back end of this year, me Lyndon Ogbourne, Amanada Donohoe, Alice Coulthard and Sammy [Winward]... there's a massive storyline for all of us."

Speaking of the ITV soap's current state of play, he continued: "Everyone's really, really happy and loving their job. And Gavin's really pleased from speaking to him... There's a real buzz and everyone's really excited and happy... It's a really lovely place to work right now."

I hope Sutton isn't just blowing smoke. I'm kind of disappointed they're putting him back with Katie, but either way, it will be good just to see him again.

I still wonder if Ryan is ever going to have a "dark side", as was promised a year ago.

I think Sutton works so well with Alice Coulthard. Their scene last week when they tried to talk about her dating Nikhil and she was still too hurt to talk with him about that -- good stuff. I wish they could find out they aren't actually brother and sister. He and Katie just don't work.

I kind of thought Sutton would be leaving soon, but if they can find something for him I hope he stays.

Absolutely brillant. What more can you ask from Danny Miller. He was amazing in this epidsode. I cried my eyes out. He played it perfectly. BSAQ are looking extremely stupid because he topped another performance. Outstanding. Standing Ovation.

You'd probably hear a lot of, "Well he used a tear stick" or, "People only praise him because he's playing a gay man," or whatever. Some of the best performances never win awards, and this was one of his best performances. He really nailed those courtroom scenes but the scenes before the courtroom, when he was trying to avoid showing any emotion and when he couldn't bear to let Chas hug him, were what got to me. That and when he was in court and kept staring up at Jackson.

So many of the scenes were just about perfect. The reactions in the courtroom, the Dingles talking afterwards and Cain warning Zak about what not to say (the Dingles are much better now that the DINGLE LAW!! seems to have been phased out). I do wish Gennie had been there.

The acting in this story from so many people has been incredible. The Emmerdale cast never gets enough credit.

I love the Aaron/Adam scenes too. WHat a wonderful friendship they have. And it never gets too soppy.

It's truly an ensemble story, and one of the best I've seen on a soap in years.
