They knew what they were taking. Adam stole it from Vanessa with plans to flog it off, but Pete and Ross wouldn't help him sell it so he took it with Robbie, the only person that Adam hasn't been a huge bitch towards.

I can't answer the last question as it's been a serious worry for me as well. It's looked horrible for awhile now.

Wait a minute!! They're killing off Donna?!!

I haven't been keeping up with news about Emmerdale recently, but just found out about this!

And of course she brought Marlon's baby back with her! Another Dingle brat! I swear that family multiply faster than rabbits! If they thought they could get away with it they would probably change the name of the show to Dingledale!

I hate that whole family. It was a sad, sad day when they showed up.

Things like this actually make me glad I stopped watching this show!

It was revealed she was going to die pretty early on in her return. I agree with you about most of the Dingles over populating the show, but the Donna story (which ends next week sad.png ) has been my one of my favourites of the year in soapdom. Verity Rushworth has owned so awesomely.

I have such mixed emotions about this upcoming week. Donna's exit is going to be must watch TV, as the whole brilliant storyline has been so far. But then we also have that smug git, Aaron, forced upon us as well. It's going to be hell having to sit through Aaron be some sort of guidance guru to Adam and whatever else they have planned for him will surely make me want to wretch. The only way to make up for his return will be if they actually write for his friendship with Victoria, which they are probably way too scared to do because it proves how much of a mistake it was to make Aaron gay with all the chemistry they share.

I haven't been watching lately but have they finally invested in Victoria? To be apart of the core family and young, I've found it odd that none of the current regimes have really invested in her. The last time I remember Victoria having a big story was when Daz was on the show and that was what .... back in 09?

I agree with both your sentiments on Victoria. She hasn't gotten a story since Daz left, who I would love to see return. Still, yesterday's episode was a great Sugden moment and at least this way she has a been a very strong supporting character. I like think they are just waiting. For what, I don't know. I'm more surprised the super talented Isabel Hodgins hasn't quit, yet. I hope she never does.

I only remember Verity giving good work toward the end of her first run so this really impressed.

Too bad about the woodentop Barton. Runs in the family...

Can't wait to hear why her brother and sister won't be at the funeral.

    • The thing with Martin (for me) is that he should have been Anita and Vernon's kid. I honestly think he would have been fine being an older or younger brother to Dani and Nicole. It also would have made his relationship and kids feel more realistic. A handsome salt and pepper late 40s/early 50s congressman who settled down and adopted kids to fit an image for politics. Not that he didn't want this lifestyle but it is what he needed to do to get ahead. Also, we don't often get older characters playing LGBT roles not just on daytime but across most media. It would have been a refreshing take. As an alternative, Sam and Ty could have been Martin's kids from an earlier marriage a la the NJ governor that was outed. We could have also seen parallels between Vernon and Anita thinking back to how they handled Martin coming out compared to the way they accepted Chelsea.  As for Martin being Nicole and Ted's kid, I do wish in this case he was not tied to a marriage and kids, so that he could date and sleep around like any other character on a soap.  Yeah, I didn't get it...but what I did get is that girl is a bit crazy like her mama.  Vanessa and Joey talking about the poker table...get these people off my screen.

    • Unpopular opinion, but I didn't think the show should have reunited Billy/Vanessa at all until the final stretch of the show. When watching the 1989 episodes when both Vanessa and Billy return after being off the show... I liked that Vanessa had moved on from him and that the show was hinting at her wanting to reunite with her first love Ross while looking down at Nadine for being the one Ross was dating.  And I loved the twist where Billy and Nadine teamed up to keep Vanessa/Ross apart.   This was an interesting concept that sadly the writers dropped with the show deciding to make Vanessa pine over Billy between 1990 and 1993 when they finally reunited.   To me, Vanessa pining over Billy seemed out of character. At least once Billy was carted off to prison in 1994... she and Billy divorced and stayed divorced until the final months when they finally found their way back together.  During the years when they were divorced, I liked that they had maintained a friendship and connection.. with viewers (like my late mom) wondering if they would ever decide to make it work again. I wish the show had tried that with Josh/Reva because by the time of the final episode when they rode off into the sunset, I didn't care because we'd been through the make up and break ups between them for over 10+ years by that point.
    • I break down the primetime soap era (start of Dallas to end of Knots Landing) as  Up to Spring 1982: Building the foundation. Fall 1982-Spring 1985: Peak. Fall 1985-Spring 1988: Tanking. Fall 1988 onward: Off the rails plus budget mode. Of course individual shows vary and I've broken down each show in their threads.
    • I’m ready for Portia and Curtis to divorce and get it over with. Portia cheating with Isaiah would make for a fun love quadrangle with Jordan.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.  
    • Omg I was so annoyed. Like girl calm down. Coming on way too strong. Omg I forgot about this
