Members DRW50 Posted April 5, 2014 Members Share Posted April 5, 2014 I don't think we'll see them again, sadly. It's a shame the only time I see Lyndon Ogborune is when he gets semi-naked for a gay magazine. Someone at least put him in soft porn if that's where he's angling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted April 5, 2014 Members Share Posted April 5, 2014 He's shown even more on Twitter (or he used to - I haven't checked in the last few years). For all the talk of gay men controlling the industry, if that were true, someone would have cast him somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted April 5, 2014 Members Share Posted April 5, 2014 Well I might need to follow him on Twitter. But that aside, I do wish that ED would bring back Nathan Wylde. I enjoyed him and Natasha the most out of the Wylde clan. I felt that he had potential to be a good anti-villain for the long run. What I am hoping is that ED eventually brings in an interesting family to occupy Home Farm again like the Tates, Kings, and Wyldes. Declan and his sister have fallen flat and I want them out of Home Farm. I love my Home Farm families to be dripping in jewels, scandalous, blue blood, and filled with family secrets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 5, 2014 Members Share Posted April 5, 2014 The Wyldes were great. It's a shame the show wrote all of them out (I know Amanda Donohoe wanted to leave but the others, I'm not sure) and decided to focus on some sort of misery and cheapness. I've always said if you don't want to do glamour, then burn Home Farm down. I still feel that way. I became so dispirited by what Gavin Blythe and Stuart Blackburn did to the show, I haven't even watched in years. I'm not sure what it's like now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted April 5, 2014 Members Share Posted April 5, 2014 Did Maxwell Caufield want to leave early? Because if not, they could've just kept him (along with Maisie, Nathan, and Will) and just have Natasha shoot (but not kill) him. Then send Natasha off with the door open and make Faye the "lady of the manor" and put her back with Mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 5, 2014 Members Share Posted April 5, 2014 I think he was let go but I can't remember. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted April 5, 2014 Members Share Posted April 5, 2014 Well if that is the case then it seems like they possibly decided to get rid of the family because of Amanda Donohoe's exit. That sucks. They could've kept the Wyldes and left the door open for a Natasha return in the future. But again, I need a glamorous family in Home Farm. I'm over Declan and I'm over these writers trying to make Katie the "lady" of Home Farm. She just doesn't possess the haughtiness and iciness that a "lady" of Home Farm would possess (i.e. Natasha/Sadie/Kim). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ben Posted April 6, 2014 Members Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) This is exactly how I feel, too. Home Farm was made for a rich, melodramatic, scandalous family - not bland, middle class siblings who are too vanilla for Home Farm. Faye should have been positioned into Home Farm after Natasha Wylde left, along with her son Ryan, starting up/carrying on the feud with Nathan and his sister Maisie. They could have slowly expanded on Faye and Ryan's family. Kate Oates said last year in an interview with DS that she feels the days of the Home Farm dynasty is over. This tells me that she has no plans to utilize the set to its maximum potential. I know we are in a recession, but scandalous rich people still exist. I think a proper big dynasty in Home Farm would give the show some much needed life, and a link to its identity of the past. They did burn it down last Christmas. Clearly, they don't want to do what they were famous for, so torched it, making sure it's never mentioned again. Such a waste of a decent set. ETA: Re Danny Miller's return: Terrible idea, IMO. I know he has his fans, but he was clearly not comfortable playing a gay character, unless it was angst and crying, but anything affectionate, and it was all awkward and uncomfortable. I feel this is just to give Chas something to do outside of her revolving door of love interests. I bet they'll pair him with Finn Barton, who's the only gay guy in the village. Shame if they do, as Finn would be better off in a romance with Robbie Lawson - they had chemistry in the few scenes they've shared, and Robbie is on backburner hell, who hasn't appeared since January (and that was for a handful of scenes). He desperately needs a story that will make him likeable. Edited April 6, 2014 by Ben 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted April 7, 2014 Members Share Posted April 7, 2014 I think he wanted to leave, just like Amanda did later. Personally I never thought that either of them would stay long. They were both fairly well-known actors and those never tend to stick around on soaps. They come in for a short stint, bring publicity to the show and then leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted April 21, 2014 Members Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Ben, after watching Emmerdale again since April 1, I'm totally on board with your idea of Robbie/Finn. I agree with all of you that Danny Miller never sold the romantic aspects of his relationships. I can't be sure that Lawson would be different, but him and Finn to have a good rapport. Plus, I never understood how the show couldn't see the off the charts chemistry between Aaron and Victoria. Heck, they probably did and that's why their great friendship suffered once Aaron got into the thick of his relationship with Jackson.

Members Bright Eyes Posted April 29, 2014 Members Share Posted April 29, 2014 The Bernice/Andy scenes today were perfection. He is all man and then some. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted April 29, 2014 Members Share Posted April 29, 2014 Cain and Charity were such a highlight today. Kate Oates has also done a fantastic job and fixing the hatchet job Blackburn did to his character. It will be interesting to see if either wedding goes through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted April 30, 2014 Members Share Posted April 30, 2014 I can't help but want to fast forward to when people find out Andy and Bernice had sex, or an affair, as the case may turn into. Nicola and Victoria's reactions will be strong highlights, but I think Diane's, due to her relationships with both, could be the underdog gem! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted May 4, 2014 Members Share Posted May 4, 2014 Apparently, tomorrow we'll find out that a TV LEGEND will be joining Emmerdale. Can't wait to see who it is. It would be fantastic if the long awaited Grandma Barton was finally cast. I know a lot of people have wanted her to be Joan Collins for years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
