Members Bright Eyes Posted November 24, 2010 Members Share Posted November 24, 2010 I don't know if I even want to watch Viv die because it'll be all about that hag Hazel. Why is it so popular to despise/loathe/abolish history? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ben Posted November 24, 2010 Members Share Posted November 24, 2010 I still find the show watchable, even if certain stories suck. IMO, the show still has something that others, like Corrie, have yet to get back. I wish they would pace Chas' revenge better, instead of rushing through it. I'd like to see more scenes of her conflicting emotions, and trying to deal with the fact that revenge really isn't helping, but is something she feels she has to do. Also, who exactly is that moustache man that has popped up randomly and hangs around w/ Lisa? Why so I have the strange feeling that he'll start hitting on her sooner or later. This story with Jai/Charity/Debbie/the Dingles must be the story that TPTB said they had to put on hold when CW took maternity leave, last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 27, 2010 Members Share Posted November 27, 2010 It looks like there might be a very sad announcement coming from ITV later today. There isn't a lot being said but...I'll just link to the Twitter and you can read. I hope that this isn't as grim as it reads http://twitter.com/Llewscribe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 27, 2010 Members Share Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) I'm not sure I understand those Tweets. Is he saying or insinuating that Gavin Blyth died last night?

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 27, 2010 Members Share Posted November 27, 2010 Sh!t! Looks like Gavin Blyth did die. Susie Hill from the Daily Star said that the the Emmerdale folks are in the process of releasing a statement on it... I wonder who will replace him and be the next Series Producer... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 27, 2010 Members Share Posted November 27, 2010 It's so awful. This type of thing has almost never happened with a soap -- I'm not sure it ever has with a UK soap. I guess they will have to pick someone close who can implement planned stories. I feel so terrible for his loved ones, and for the cast and crew, especially since they lost Clive Hornsby only a few years ago. I had my share of complaints about some of Blyth's decisions but there's no question that he brought acclaim and relevance and increased viewing figures to Emmerdale, after a time when many had written the show off. It's not easy for a soap to return after being dismissed as irrelevant or as played out. It's a big loss, and just shocking, and I hope he is at peace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 27, 2010 Members Share Posted November 27, 2010 I wonder how he died, he didn't seem that old. I guess the upcoming official statement will tell us more, but I wonder if he had any preexisting ailments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 27, 2010 Members Share Posted November 27, 2010 He was only 41. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s12/emmerdale/news/a290172/emmerdale-producer-blyth-dies-aged-41.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted November 27, 2010 Members Share Posted November 27, 2010 Just read this on another board and I am completely shocked. This is just heartbreaking and depressing, especially for his kids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted November 27, 2010 Members Share Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) That is horrible! Horrible. And very sad. How far in advance is Emmerdale filmed and written? Edited November 27, 2010 by Sylph 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted November 27, 2010 Members Share Posted November 27, 2010 My guess is that it's written until, at the least, early January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LondonScribe Posted November 27, 2010 Members Share Posted November 27, 2010 A suggestion coming from the DS boards (by way of linked tweets and articles) is that it was lung cancer... But yes, 41 is no age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 27, 2010 Members Share Posted November 27, 2010 Yeah, this article says he was only diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago, I guess it must have been very late stage by that point. http://www.clicklancashire.com/news/national-news/128635-lancashire-born-emmerdale-chief-dies,-aged-41.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ann_SS Posted November 28, 2010 Members Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) RIP Gavin. He was so young and was married with three young children. They must be devastated. I'm not completely shocked. A week ago, poster on Digital Spy said that her father had been in the hospital with Gavin who was doing quite poorly. This reminds me of when Marland passed away. I hope that Emmerdale does not meet the same creative fate that ATWT did after losing Marland. Edited November 28, 2010 by Ann_SS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
