Sucks that we're losing the actor that plays Lachlan, as he's quite talented. I hope he turns up somewhere else very soon. 

 

I liked the actor, but I found the character to be so repulsing that I couldn't bear to look at the actor at times early on. It was hard to separate the two. I see him having a bright future, but I won't miss Lachlan White at all. 

Neither will I. His character’s fate was sealed after what he did to Alicia. 

 

Speaking of awful behavior I wonder if at some point either Diane or Victoria will say “Well, what Chrissie did to Andy was horrible but she didn’t deserve THAT!”

They better f-cking not!

 

That's why I am glad her a** is dead. 

Hah, me, too, but that IS something that Diane or Victoria WOULD say. I hope Andy is at least mentioned this coming week.

I never really cared for Andy, so that isn't something I would hold against Chrissie.  

I just hope that simply because she's dead all the other nasty things she did will be forgotten and people will mourn her or Lawrence. Most of the villagers didn't care about them when they were alive anyway.

They did care about what she did to Andy, though. She framed him for doing something Lachlan did and he got sent to prison! And some might hold her indirectly responsible for the helicopter crash. Of course she didn’t cause it but her actions started the chain reaction.

Why didn't you like Andy?

What's there to like? He was an obnoxious child whose thoughtless behaviour was at least partially responsible for the deaths of Vic Windsor and Sarah Sugden. When he grew up he and Katie behaved completely childish when they decided to have a baby just so they could be together when they were clearly too young. Then his impulsive and reckless behaviour caused him to shoot and almost kill Jack Sugden.  He slept with an underaged Debbie Dingle and got her pregnant, thereby forcing the Sugdens to be forever tied to the Dingle family. His feud with Robert later caused the death of Max King.

When he finally got together with Katie he then proceeded to cheat on her with their lodger, Jo. After Katie left and he got together with Jo he started to abuse her, finally forcing her to flee from the village.

 

All the character did was cause pain and suffering, and I'm not particularly sorry that he's gone.

Good job with listing all the bad bits but he was never an actual “villain,” just a young  guy who made a hell of a lot of mistakes! He’s a decent person who sometimes reacted badly to things.

I never said that I considered him a villain. I just said that I didn't particularly like him, and listed some of the reasons why. The one that was portrayed as a villain was always Robert. I really resented the way Jack almost always sided with Andy when the two fought. It was especially infuriating how little consideration Jack seemed to have for Robert's feelings towards Andy after he found out about Andy's involvement in Sarah's death. Jack had no trouble forcing Robert to leave Emmerdale after the accident that caused Max King's death, yet he went to extreme lengths, even going to prison himself, to keep Andy around.

HAH, Diane mentioned in tonight's episode what Chrissie did to Andy. i knew that had to happen sooner rather than later.

 

Lachlan: Everybody thinks I'm a psychopath.

 

I wanted to yell at the screen "But ya ARE, Blanche, ya ARE!"

 

 

Congratulations to Emmerdale Farm alumni Lesley Manville on her Academy Award nomination!  

 

Lesley played Rosemary Kendall from February 18th 1975 to April 13th 1976, and appeared in 77 episodes.

I was going to ask if you knew her character. I guess you do!

 

I don't think I've ever seen any of her episodes. 

 

I think this may be the first Emmerdale actor to get an Oscar nod.

And she was once sister-in-law to Laila Morse via Morse’s brother Gary Oldman. Their son Alfie had both parents nominated for an Oscar today!
