Jeff Hordley really paid his dues before Emmerdale. 

Wow. Those scenes with Aaron and Chas were gripping. Just hard to watch. I am glad that this story wasn't dragged out any longer and it's starting to get to the good part--the downfall of Gordon. I hope this just doesn't end in some cliche whodunnit. There's enough violence and murder in the village to last a lifetime. 

 

Good to see Moira address Charity and let her know she is onto her antics. Sadly, I don't think it'll matter because Charity will emerge victorious, and Cain will fall victim of her ... or Moira might fall victim of Pete first. 

Those scenes between Chas and Aaron were amazing. From the ones on the beach where we finally got to see a smiling Aaron(he has a cute one) to the harrowing scenes at the pub. Such amazing stuff.

 

I just hope that after this story he gets a lighter story. I am over dark material for Aaron. 

^I agree 100%! Hopefully the new EP will see that a majority of viewers are over the dark material involving Aaron. 

I'd just be happy if the new regime has Aaron focus his energy in love stories. 

Wow! What stellar performances from Jeff Hordley, Danny Miller, and Lucy Pargetter. All three of them delivered on some very powerful scenes. Ryan Hawley always delivers and it is nice to see Robert be Aaron's support in a subtle, gentle way. At first, I was not a big fan of this story but it actually panning out to be must see for me. 

 

Even though I cannot stand vigilante Cain most of the time, I do enjoy when he goes off the rails for his family. Heaven help Gordon when he Cain gets a hope of him. 

 

Duncan the delivery man pulling one over on Eric, Tracy, and Carly was funny. I wouldn't mind Duncan becoming a mainstay seeing as he is easy on the eyes. There can never be enough eye candy on Emmerdale. 

 

I don't see Nicola being able to settle as a stay-at-home mom. She already looks like she is gonna crack. Either she is gonna pressure Jimmy to get rid the boys or it is gonna cause tension in their marriage. This is something that is gonna snowball into something major. 

The guy who plays Duncan was on some show called Young Dracula. 

 

He also has a few Youtube videos up with his friends. Here's a balloon prank.

 at Nicola wanting to work and Jimmy wanting to be a stay at home dad. Cute and genius. We'll see how long that lasts though....

 

I love the honesty in the writing when it comes to Kirin dealing with being a new dad. Parenthood has to be frustrating. Not everyone is going to take to parenthood easily. 

 

Kudos to Aaron stopping Cain from killing Gordon. Gordon being pegged a pedophile and everyone knowing will be bad enough. 

Holly Barton is returning. I mostly remember that annoying voice. She did have her moments. I'm not thrilled that this will be about Cain and Charity though.

Ugh. Why? I would've rather Hannah come back. Holly is insufferable. And oh great!  Holly will cause Cain to fall into Charity's bed. Just great....

I try not to judge based on other soaps but with a Hollyoaks producer I wouldn't be shocked if she and Aaron end up having a baby or something.

 

There will also be a new Dingle on the way, possibly named Faith. I hope someone tells them there was already a Faith Dingle (Cain and Chas' mother).

It sounds to me that in 2016 the Dingles will be more insufferable than ever before. God, this is going to suck.

Is that even humanly possible?
