It’s weird that it’s just here that the Dingles get so much hate. When I look at Facebook, Instagram etc. The Dingles seem really beloved.

some even say without the Dingles there is no Emmerdale lol (which I find ridiculous) BUT they are very popular in the UK

I'm not sure that many people here except me hate the Dingles either. But on the other hand I have always been very vocal about my loathing for all things Dingle, so maybe that's why it seems like they get a lot of hate here.   :D

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

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.

Damn, damn, damn!!! All signs point to the return of one of the worst characters in tv history....

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.

When were Kim and Zak ever close? Is this a RETCON? 

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.

They weren't! Kim has never liked the Dingles, so for her to break down like that over Zak's death is ridiculous.   <_<

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.

I don't know anything about the talents of the recast, but I hate that she's so blond. Obviously, I don't want any extra Dingles, but would it not have made more sense do finally bring on Nathan Dingle, who has never been seen?

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 :( Lachlan and Tom.. Poor girl can’t catch a break

No.

What would make sense (at least to me) is to have someone poison the food served at the funeral and kill off all the remaining Dingles.  😈

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.

  • Member

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.
