Emmerdale Spoilers 23rd-27th November 2015

I am very interested in how they handle ashleys vascular dementia storyline as i am the full time carer of my dad who has had that and alzheimers for over ten years. Its about time a soap tackled the subject properly and i hope they dispel some myths and allay some fears of others facing the disease. I am hopeful that its handled sens itively.

Aaron and Lawrence probably will not happen but it would be shocking if it did! Lawrence can give Aaron everything he needs and desires in terms of material wealth. Lawrence also seems sexually attracted to Aaron.
That is bizarre though why get married in such a under pretenses? It is unusual and weird the no sex thing. Bernice deserves more than to be married to a closet case. I agree Lawrence is gay but he seems to be either in denial or ashamed about being gay. Robert figured out Lawrence is sexually attracted to him and Aaron. I remember in the summer robert made a comment to Aaron about Lawrence investing in the scrap yard business. Lawrence likes younger guys I have a feeling the writers are going to pair him with one of the young gay guys on the show.

Aaron has never struck me as a guy who wants money and material things, he seems to fall hard in love

While he did sleep with Finn as a one night stand I just cant see him with Lawrence ever

I think the show could cast an older mature male for Lawrence

What gave you the impression Lawrence was attracted to Aaron? I never saw it like that. Also Aaron wouldn't go after Lawrence. He doesn't seem to care about the material side of things.
I'm really not sure about Lawrence sexuality. In an interview it was said that after the treatment in prison all these years back he doesn't know anymore what he likes. This can be either women or men - or both.

I don't want him to be with anyone in particular - but I really DON'T want to see him with Aaron. Let's see were this Lawrence-Bernice story is going.

Yes I don't remember him being attracted to Aaron either

I think Lawrence is gay but his experience in prison has scared him so much he is afraid of having a full intimate relationship with a male so he is rushing into a marriage with Bernice whom he should be honest with and her with him

I think they should give more info.about his
marriage.
He was married and had 2 daughters.We have
beenpromised that the second daughter would
appear but so far hasnt.

He got married -after prison- I assumed it had
been.a short marriage. But a poster wrote that
he had told Edna his wife had died 3 years ago.
I agree his time in prison has deeply affected him.


So.based on Chrissies age - the marriage lasted
well over 30 years.!! What sort of marriage was it
- for money or respectablity reasons or genuine
affection .Was his wife aware of his sexuality
from the beginning. Children could have arrived
by various means adoption /donor/ natural??

He seems predominantly gay and he did have
an interest in Robert. Chrissie doesnt seem to
have picked up anything unusual in her parents
marriage - as she followed same pattern ?
But not very bright anyway?

Regarding Bernice - I.think it would be a big
mistake.But she likes money and he wants
respectability?
I think they need to explore Lawrences
backstory.Which I think would be interesting
and if nothing else - make people more aware
of the changes since the Sixties!

I thought Chrissie mentioned the other night to Lawrence she knew her parents marriage was different to others so maybe the wife/mother was aware that Lawrence was gay and accepted him

I think she must have done at some stage-
for the marriage to have lasted so long.
But wondered if she was like Edna -didn't
know at the beginning and thought she
was going into a normal marriage and when it
wasnt just accepted the situation.?

I think that most people have at least a small amount of love/hate attraction to other people of both sexes, that's what being human is all about and this issue really doesn't bother me. A new 2015 scientific study has recently suggested that "most women are aroused by both men and women and are 'never straight'", whereas for males "it is usually men who show distinct sexual responses to their favourite sex."

History shows that Lawrence had good feelings for at least Harold but this clearly wasn't conclusive for his sexual orientation as we know that Lawrence got married to a women and had children by her. Harold could maybe have just been a young fling for fun during friendly experimentation at a young age.

We must remember that Lawrence then was at an age when anything during his teenage years other that "straightness" was considered to be abnormal and was suppressed/repressed.

Just because Aaron has lately shown gay interests and that Lawrence has doubts about marrying Bernice should not, in any way, imply that Lawrence and Aaron are suitable for each other in a sexual relationship. Come on. Just like straight people, gays also have tastes and choices about who is "Mr or Mrs Right". Being gay does not, in any way, mean any other gay is the "right one". This is 2015 and humans are not cave people anymore and have moved on a real long way since then. If I was an Emmerdale storyliner, I would never pair Aaron and Lawrence in any sexual relationship just because each have gay tendencies, as this would, to me anyway, be a very shallow reason to pair them on what may be a temporary sexuality issue for each character. Two certainties in life for everyone are that "nothing lasts forever" and that "everything will change".

A lot of what you.say is true but a few points

Lawrence went to prison to protect Harold-
so more than a phase.

The fact of being married and there being
children does not mean automatically
that sex has occurred or that the children
have been produced by normal methods
by the husband & wife!
A % of marriages are sexless and tho thst
wouldnt suit most people -it does suit some.
People marry for many different reasons
including money respectablity and companionship.
We can only surmise at present re Lawrence
and his late wife - as we have very little real
info.

I agree that just because two people are
of the relevant sexuality they will not
automatically brattracted to.each other.

But often in soaps 2 characters whether
straight or gay are paired because they
are unattached and the SWs cant think
of what else to do with them.
Suitability or whether its at all likely
is of no.apparent consideration - which
makes them so.unbelievable!
