Hey I LOVE reading your Dingles rant. Don’t get me wrong there

Belle is the only one carrying them and the entire show right now.

I enjoyed them when Cain had an affair with Sadie or when Debbie was with Jasmine. They had some great storylines in the 2000’s til early 2010’s. But I hated them in the 90’s.

Zak was disgusting but he became more humanized and likeable as he got older. I liked Lisa and Zak in their older days. 

The tribute episode was well done though.

If you mean Debbie, it's been confirmed she's not coming back. Whatever happened backstage with the show and Charley Webb clearly took precedence even over an occasion like this.

There have been much worse retcons. It seems like she's just sad because he loved his family and was a patriarch and so forth. Given her own issues (like a drunken father and her horrible relationship with her son), I can believe it. I'm glad they find ways to humanize Kim.

That's a relief.

It's been revealed who the mystery visitor to Zak's funeral is.....

90s legend returns to Emmerdale after 28 years and she has changed a lot

My question is why? Like Kim, this character had a "good" first run and a satisfying end. So why ruin it and bring her back.

The tribute episode made me realize that Emmerdale has the best younger cast currently out of all soaps right now (not just UK Soaps) and the soap itself still has some life in it. They just need to stop dragging storylines out til Christmas. 

I really love my Belle and have decided to start a rewatch of 2016 to 2019 with Lachlan and Belle!

2015-2018/19 was such a strong period for this show! It just reminds me that Belle got two psycho‘s

I wonder if they thought there were too many brunettes in the Dingle family. 

I have no real interest in watching but from what I've read she seems like generic trash the "good" Dingles can look down on. A waste of time. Tina was one of the most nuanced members of the family.

I've read that Tina is only back for a short stint, and that makes it even more puzzling why they even bothered?

  She's been gone for almost 30 years, so why bring her back now if it's only for a brief visit?

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind one bit if it is just a short stay, but it just makes no real sense. Tina hasn't bothered with her family for so long, so why now? And if they were gonna bring her back it would have been more interesting if she had been very un-Dingle. You know, an upstanding, law-abiding, successful member of society. At least it would have been something different.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too.
