I've heard this too, and that Danny Miller also responded, not thrilled about the embargo being broken. If he is apparently it's just a short-term return. I just hope he won't return to be killed.

 

Don't even put that idea out there!

Spoiler

Well from popping in her occasionally, it does seem like the show is on a killing spree so them killing Robert would not shock me at all. 

 

I wonder whose brilliant () idea it was to do an almost complete rip-off of the "who killed Tom King"-storyline. That's some quality style writing right there.....

They even had the same cop investigate the crime lol

Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon.

So, I guess John might be on the way out now that Robert is back and Nate's body has been found....  Or are they going to jump through hoops to keep him on the show and make us watch two Sugdens fight over a Dingle?    🤢

I'm on the Joe Tate storyline, and Kim Tate continues to be a snarky hoot; Emmerdale's answer to General Hospital's Tracy. I love it.

I really, really, really hope that they don't have Charity offering to be a surrogate for Sarah now that she had to have a hysterectomy. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but when they (Charity and Sarah) had a bad argument before Sarah's surgery it just feels like a setup for Charity to do something like that out of guilt.

Please, please, please Emmerdale, prove me wrong!!   

Is this really happening?! Practically all of the 1977 episodes of Emmerdale Farm has been uploaded to Youtube!  

 

I've finally found time to go back to old Emmerdale Farm, and I'm now halfway through 1974. The first half of the year wasn't the best period for the show to be honest. Mainly due to two irritating characters, Dryden Hogben and Ethel Ainsworth. Dryden was tolerable I suppose, but Ethel must rank as one of the worst non-Dingle characters ever. The whole story with her and Amos was so boring, and made Amos look like an idiot. Thank heaven she's gone now. If I'm not wrong Dryden will leave soon as well, and I can't say I will miss him very much.

Apart from those two I'm loving every second of the show, completely Dingle-free.     It is funny though that Sam just mentioned another family, the Brewers, who sounded more or less like a blueprint for the Dingles. A bunch of small-time criminals and troublemakers. Back then there was no risk of a family like that ever becoming as prominent as the Dingles have become. Back then crime was frowned upon.

Going into the second half of the year we have another sad departure looming on the horizon. I know that Alison will leave in a few months, and I think I'm going to miss her even more than I miss Frank and Janie. Knowing, as I do, that Carolyn Moody, who played Alison, died young, not yet 50, will only add to the sadness of seeing her leave. 

I should have known better than to doubt Emmerdale Farm.   

I was wondering how they were going to make the very rapid breakdown of Joe's and Christine's marriage believable, since everything has been so rosy up till now. But the first cracks have started to show. Christine may have enjoyed playing farmer, but deep down she's used to another way of life, and that's beginning to show. It all makes perfect sense now. And it also shows that her father was right when he warned Joe that Christine likes to do things like this. Go all in on a new interest until she gets bored.

I'm completely in love with the old episodes, and I can't stop watching. I've binged over 40 episodes in just a week. It feels like I'm spending more time in 1970s Beckindale than in the present.

I enjoyed a funny little reference to another favourite early 1970s British tv-series of mine in a recent episode. Franklin Prescott, during an argument with his wife Diana, said something (and I'm paraphrasing) about her enjoying sitting around in her little cottage playing Lady Marjorie.  

 

They're really not wasting any time turning Christine into an ungrateful, spoiled brat. It's almost too sudden, too much of a change from how she was earlier. I wonder if this was always the plan, to have her relationship and marriage to Joe turn sour this quick.
