So happy Doug is back and had scenes with all the right people in his first episode. The most important for me being Leyla. Their relationship was one of the reasons I fell in love with this show.

I really, really hope this wedding doesn't happen. I want Marlon left at the altar so bad, I can taste it. I've never hated a character so much.

I don't understand how this show could be so good, but then turn around and give into that horrible Dingle groupthink bullsh*t. Chas has been the worst during this whole Aaron return story and even how she reacted to Megan today, knowing what Charity has done. It's not entertaining, it's straining to watch, especially with how they are writing Edna as if she should be falling over them for forgiveness. It's just gross. In fact, I am more than ready for Chas to get the hell out. I'm done with her and her horrible hair. The Dingles would be best if they only consisted of Zak/Lisa/Sam/Belle. Cain can stay too, as Kate Oates has done a lot to rebuild him like she has with Ashley and, of course, Queen Charity must stay as long as she as a hard comeuppance. She's practically the only real bitch soap operas have at the moment.

Bob going out of his way to sympathize with Ross was such a heartfelt beautiful moment for the both of them. Bob and Brenda have shown such compassion to Ross. I hope they build a relationship between them. It would certainly piss off the horrible Marlon.

I'm going to guess that Declan has finally wised up regarding Charity and is the one that poisoned the wine. Some magazine revealed that someone will soon die. Kate Oates biggest triumph are her amazing climaxes, which haven't been matched by any soap since she took over. I can't wait to see what new hell she has planned.

Ah! I was right about Declan! I am at the edge of my seat to see who dies this week. As I said before, Charity is the last great, classic female vixen/bitch/villain left. I will be at my wits end if she meets her maker. The great thing about the UK shows is the uncertainty. If Emma Atkins has left I will be utterly devastated.

On a brighter note, I love how much they've written Doug to not care for Marlon. When he told Ashley he didn't understand why Laurel traded him in for "that bit of rope," I was LoL'ing like only Emmerdale, always the soap with the best comedy, can make me do.

And, of course, Sandy. He is just such a legend. Everything he says makes me smile.

YOU BLASPHEMER! Charity IS Emmerdale!

I am actually shocked Declan has a fan. This storyline (starting with his breakdown/hitting Megan) is the only time he has ever been remotely interesting. Of course, don't cry yet, there is still tomorrow ...

I think we can both agree, at least, that Kate Oates has given us another splendid climax.

This has been an awesome climax to what was a mediocre story. Declan has only ever been interesting when he turns psycho.

Poor Robbie. Should have taken out Megan instead. Or Pete. Or Jai (some convoluted explanation could have been given for being there). I'm not counting Declan out just yet.

So Robbie and Finn stopped being friends months ago? I wonder if Finn will react to this.

I remember reading about how hated Robbie was for a long long time. Figures that now that fans didn't mind him he's killed off. That's the way of soaps I guess.

I read that the episodes tied EE in the ratings in spite of EE being far more hyped. If so, good for them.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse
