Sorry, just sharing that as it reminds of how little effort was made with Tina's return (I assume Jacqueline would have said no but she wasn't even asked...). Feels like she is only back to be the "bad" foil to our "good" heroes. Tina was by far one of the most compelling Dingles (this is only in my opinion in case anyone wants to say they are all terrible) and I won't watch her return just to be trashed for the likes of Cain or Chastity.

Even if they would write them dingles out it would just hurt the show. The core audience would not accept a new family and the dingles being gone just like that.

Cain did change a lot in the last couple of years and got calmed down. Chaz is alright..

Charity itself ain’t a bad character and the Belle focused stand alone episode from September (which should get a British soap award if it returns lol) was so well done. Charity was so understanding coz of what happened to her. She matured so much. The support belle gets without them being the Dingles we used to know is such good change. Cain would’ve got rid of Tom the second he heard about belles abuse. He really got it together.

i actually like the Dingles 2022-2023 more than in previous years again. 
I really believe even if they would take their time and write them out with some effort it would really hurt the show and them ratings which are low already.

I'm sure that the audience would adapt if the Dingles were written out gradually. Of course that would mean my dream of a brutal massacre would have to be abandoned, but I'm willing to compromise on that.....

After all, the end justifies the means, and if the end result would be a villaged cleansed of Dingles then I'm perfectly willing to listen to suggestions.

Another departure....

Emmerdale star Daisy Campbell confirms exit as Amelia Spencer

What strikes me is this comment from her

It's sad that she actually thinks there's no place for her character on the show because she's not a Dingle.... But it's a perfect example of how they have eaten this show alive. 

I would on the contrary say that a character like Amelia is vital to the show, just because she's not a Dingle.

I have a gut feeling that they're gonna tie her departure to the Tom and Belle story. They'll probably have Tom kill her, thereby proving Belle right, or have her kill Tom and go to jail for it. Either way Sam and Lydia will then take custody of her child. I don't for a moment think that she will leave alive with her daughter. We can't have someone take a Dingle baby away from the tribe now, can we.....

Not only her. Roxy Shahidi who plays Leyla is also Leaving and seems to get killed off.

Daisy Cambell revealed that she knew for 5 months that she is going to leave and be axed. Wow. That’s even more heartbreaking after they involved with Tom

@I Am A Swede u are right we can’t have someone leave with a Dingle Baby… Just look at Ross return. The minute he’s back Charity takes the child away from him. I kinda defended the Dingles here and there and I still love my Belle.. But I see that there is no room for another family in this damn show. It’s all about the Dingles. I really admit that they are eating this show alive.. I miss the 00‘s and 2010‘s when we at least tried to have 2-3 more family’s but now it’s always Dingles Dingles Dingles Dingles. I’m getting sick of it myself

I have finally picked up watching the old episodes again after being sidetracked by the presidential election and its outcome... and not a moment too soon. Going back to 1970s Beckindale is like wrapping oneself in a warm, cozy blanket.

I already know the rough outlines of what's coming up, so it was a bit amusing to see Matt and Alison suddenly share scenes with each other. I don't think they have interacted at all before, but I know that they will have some sort of relationship, so I guess this was the first tentative step towards that. It's a bit funny how Alison seems to catch the attention of so many of the male characters. Henry, Amos, Jack, temporary bartender Mick and now Matt.     It will probably be a little while though before anything serious develops between her and Matt. It's only been a short while since Peggy's tragic death, but it was fun to see the very first signs.

Well, knock me down with a feather.... They are actually going to let Amelia leave alive, and she will take baby Esther with her!

  Have I passed into the twilight zone? A member of the Dingle clan will be written off the show? (I know Esther is just a baby, but still.....)

    • I wonder what Dana and Hayley's first scene will be like. Dana has fear/contempt for Bill, but I can imagine Hayley being curious to meet her.
    • Daphne was just FANTASTIC today. I know people wanted histronics and it may still come but she was pitch perfect today. As much as I like Maurice she's gonna need someone just as strong now and it's just not him   
    • Today's episode was one of my favorites so far! TT's Anita standing up to Dana was perfect. I was surprised with how restrained Dani was, in some scenes, I forgot she was there. The ending "Amazing Grace" montage was brilliant. I like how Vernon's reason complements Anita's emotion. DD was terrific portraying her mixed sense of betrayal and humiliation. I liked her comment about how she condescended to Dani after her breakup with Bill, unaware that she was also married to a cheater. I am going to miss MJ as Ted and I don't agree with the criticisms of his acting. His conduct on social media is a different story. I agree that BC's Martin has come into his own. He and MM have also discovered some chemistry which allows them portray a believable couple. Eva is the most empathetic character for me. Seeing get locked out of the apartment was heartbreaking. I also liked that the writing for Kat has been much more nuanced than one might have expected just weeks ago. I liked the expression on Kat's face at the end when she was embracing Nicole. Kat has probably never seen her calm, poised mother so upset. CM's face portrayed a sense of discomfort now that the carer/child roles have been somewhat reversed. I believe now more than ever that Kat is Ted and Dana's child. Eva is Ted and Nicole's child. Dana switched them as insurance - if Bill came after her to take or harm Eva, Dana would reveal that Eva was actually a Dupree, giving her some protection. She would also be secure in the fact that her birth daughter Kat was ensconced in the privilege and security of the Dupree family. The way Dana raised Eva - "weaponizing" her instead of nurturing her as a loving mother - also aligns with this theory. 
    • @Paul Raven - thanks for reviewing the content for accuracy.  You know, the nice thing about AI is that you can teach it things, so I am having it review the classic AMC Tumblr to increase its accuracy.
    • If you begin where they suggested (#6077), it's VERY easy to follow because it's right at the beginning of a new storyline.   Another story is winding down, but it's fairly easy to catch on. The central characters in both stories (the one that's ending & the one that's beginning) are members of the Madison family.  The Madisons have recently moved from Hollywood to Monticello.  The father (Owen Madison) is an ex-movie producer.  The mother (Nola Patterson Madison) is a washed-up, alcoholic actress who can no longer get a part in a film.  Owen has a daughter named Paige Madison, and Nola has a son named Brian Madison.  The Madison family left Hollywood primarily because the daughter (Paige) had gotten involved with a group of "renegade" young political activists who stole some guns to furnish to South American revolutionaries.  Paige Madison is being targeted for assassination by various members of the group (known as "the Tobias gang").  As a result, Paige has a full-time body guard, a former Monticello policeman who resigned from the police force because he accidentally shot & killed a 14-year-old boy who was armed with a cap pistol.  As the new plot (a movie called "Mansion of the Damned") takes shape,  the existing plot about Paige, the assassins, and the bodyguard comes to a conclusion.  The other characters on the show are all playing supporting roles to these storylines, and it'll be easy to figure out who they are and how they come into play.  
    • Anita said to Leslie what I was always going to wonder. Where can a woman like her go from here? Given the circumstances and all.
    • I think she's her daughter but even if she's not, I can see Nicole forgiving her. The Duprees were kinda painting Eva out to be a victim of her deranged mother today with the way Anita was laying it on think on how horrible a mother she was. Even Nicole used language such as Eva being weaponized against them. She's a psychiatrist and can see that this is a clear case of emotional trauma and manipulation. Nicole is in her feelings right now as she should be but I think she will realize that Eva isnt the villian here and is a victim of sorts on her own
    • I do actually. Nicole seems like the forgiving type; plus she is a Psychiatrist. It is probably easy for her to be sympathetic. Absolutely agree.
    • Dana has proven to be beyond unhinged from day one.
