I read somewhere that there’s a further twist to the Emma story. Maybe someone on the ground actually finished her off? And it was someone who Emma didn’t want it to be? I’d really like it to be Kasim but I know it would be highly unlikely.

I do hope that the rumour about a new twist is true, because right now that story is going from bad to worse. Cain emotionally blackmailing Adam into taking the blame for Emma's death is really disgusting. And you have to wonder if he's really thought it through. If Moira is having this much trouble coping with the fact that she caused Emma's death, I doubt that she will find it any easier to cope with the knowledge that her own son is being blamed for something she's done. It will eat away at her mind all the time.

If they had to go this way it would have been better to have Moira turn up and try to stop Emma from killing herself, Emma insisting and during a struggle between them Emma losing her footing, falling to her death. Then have Adam turn up and take Moira away from the scene while trying to remove any evidence she was ever there.

 

 

Well, it’s looking more and more likely now that Lachlan will indeed go postal and murder at least one member of his family.

Who could possibly think that people would want to see something like that? This show has become so dark and depressing.

Happy 99th birthday to the Grande Dame of Emmerdale, Sheila Mercier. Let's hope she'll make it to 100, if her health permits.

The backbone and the conscience of Emmerdale.

 

@Nothin'ButAttitude I don't know if you watch the show anymore but you may enjoy today's episode. You may also enjoy this:

 

 

@DRW50, I'm still watching and that was cute and funny. For a second, I thought it was real that Adam's twin brother was gonna take over the role. 

 

I am gonna miss Adam, & I'm still pissed that I didn't get an Adam/Victoria baby!  It broke my heart to see Victoria pleading with Adam to stay, do the time (even though he's innocent), and come home to a family. It killed me to also see Adam insist that Victoria move on without him. 

 

Might I add too, that I am glad things came full circle with Cain/Adam when Cain uttered "son" to Adam. Those 2 came a long way, and I'm glad that they ended on a good note. 

 

Adam staring at pics of him, John, Holly, Moira, and Hannah made me shed tears too. With Adam leaving is truly the end of the original Barton clan. While Moira is still there, she's more of a Dingle nowadays. Truly the end of a chapter. 

 

 

Today's episode was wonderful. I will always maintain that Adam is Aaron's one true love. 

Yep, they did it. Tom IS Joseph Tate.

Hmm, I don't know how I feel about that. On one hand I'm impressed that they actually remembered he exists, but on the other hand I'm terrified of what they will do to him. I'm sure he'll be a Dingle cheerleader in no time, just as soon as he falls in love with Debbie for real. Please, please, please show, prove me wrong on that!!

Wished they would have brought back James Tate. But this was a decent twist, I wonder if somewhere down the line we'll get to see Zoe. 

With Leah Bracknell's health problems I think that's doubtful, unless they recast.

Bracknell was on Lorraine Kelly’s morning show last week and looked terrific. That was a lovely thing to see. Of course she’s being realistic and knows she can become very ill very quickly but she’s certainly a fighter.

That's wonderful news, and I certainly wouldn't object to seeing Zoe again.  

 

If Joseph stays around and continues torturing and humiliating Dingles it would be a wonderful incentive for me to start watching regularly again. But I know that this show has a raging hard-on for all things Dingle so I'm fearful of what the future will bring. I'm not sure I could stand for Joseph falling for Debbie, or the Dingles in any way getting the upper hand on him. The mere thought of that makes me want to throw up.

Does everyone think this might led to the Tates finally returning to the canvas? Most likely, Kim, Jean, Zoe, and James? I'm all for the Tates reclaiming their home, Home Farm, if Joseph's return is what this leads to.
