Emmerdale: Discussion Thread

[Y&RWorldTurner]

That's from Spring of this year, I believe.

Is this before or after he comes out to Paddy? That is a must see episode! Also, has Maisie had her breakdown yet?

[EricMontreal22]

After I think... Only two episodes have aired, and I barely saw him yesterday, so I'm not sure abotu the rest yet (and Emmerdale is the major UK soap I knwo the least about--core characters, etc ). So I can answer better after a few LOL.

The other storyline is some blonde called Charity who likes to steal cars...

Um, Charity is NOT some blond. Charity Dingle (EMMA ATKINS) is the BEST this show has to offer. (She's my favourite anyway) Do not disrespect her.

I think you would like Emmerdale once you got to know the VERY confusing backstories. Of all the UK soaps it's most like a Doug Marland or Agnes Nixon soap. It has the wacky characters and bizarre family relationships of Nixon in particular, although not as much heart.

I think Aaron's first time in a gay bar would be February 2010? March?

This might be his second time in a gay bar LOL he wasn't too comfortable anyway. He met Jackson there who got a bit mad at him... And yeah, when I used to watch Emmerdale when CBC aired it with Corrie ages back, I did take to it more than the others actually--so what you say makes sense. (It does have may fave of the UK soap themes...)

Amello--I quite like her--but she's still some blonde to me right now

This is when the story goes from great to good to alright to ... why is NOTHING happening?

[EricMontreal22]

HAHA Damn. It must be March if Jackson was there--as that's when he was introduced according to Wiki.

I wonder how this and EastEnders will do on Vision. I know a LOT of fans were very upset that BBCanada stopped showing EE--and Vision Network needs far far far lower ratings to keep on. It does seem a mistake to program Emmerdale at the same time as the CBC airs Corrie--but that's just West Coast (Vision Network is based in the East and doesn't time change their programming, so their soap block airs 9pm there, 6pm West)

[EricMontreal22]

I have to say after three episodes, I already find myself getting into Emmerdale--much more than EastEnders (though it's nice to see the older characters I know), and I haven't missed catching up on Coronation Street the past little while at all (I haven't really been too into it Corrie in a long time, I admit...)

[DRW50]

I'm glad you're enjoying Emmerdale. I think you would enjoy the show's past as well. It's a shame a lot of clips have been taken down recently. If you want a few scenes from their earlier years just PM me.

I haven't watched the show much in the last month or two, as I am not overly involved in the stories (I kind of miss the heart the show had a few years ago), but I still enjoy it and will get back in soon.

James Sutton may leave when his contract expires on March:

[BadBoy93]

if he does it won`t be the end of the world.

Either

.He will find work elsewhere

.He will return to Hollyoaks (as John Paul McQueen)

[Bright Eyes]

I love him and all, but I fear what this means for Faye. If he leaves, I can't see them keeping her around.

[DRW50]

I'm sorry but I seriously question what these carefully worked-out plans are. Ryan has barely had any storyline in his year and a half on the show. I also don't know if he is "massively" popular. Popular? Sure. James is a handsome and charismatic actor who does a good job when he gets the material. MASSIVE? I doubt it. He has barely had a chance to do anything on the show other than let us see what a nice butt he has in coveralls.

As for going back to Hollyoaks -- I doubt it. Marquess is dumping anyone and everyone he did not create and he would probably also see John Paul as a part of the past, or a threat to his creation, Bart McQueen, the wizened looking block of wood passed off as a hunk. I also don't know if Sutton would want to go back, especially since Hollyoaks might not be on much longer.

I wonder if they may already be writing her out, she seems to have nothing in the village, even the relationship with Jai is over.

[EricMontreal22]

Thanks Carl--it helps that it comes on as soon as I'm home for work (it's kinda strange to watch a soap that I haven't recorded). I'll prob watch a bit more before I start getting into past clips--I did watch off and on some of the past stuff when CBC aired it a long time back...
