Finn Barton

[london_beckham]

Emmerdale has pushed him aside a little because Aaron in Robert. Not to mention that stupid short lived relationship that he had with Darren I liked to see him be focused on more in a story of his own.

He won't be having one for the remainder of Oates tenure, and then it will depend on if the new producer likes the character or not.

I'd like to see more of him, not necessarily with a major sl but at least interacting with Vic and his brothers more.

We can live in hope

Agree they should do more with Finn, I don't see why having Aaron/Robert around & involved with each other means the producers can't give Finn a relationship or story lines along side them, Kate Oates seems to view him as a not much more than comedy character. These skits with Jimmy are ridiculous & rarely funny, I miss his relationship with Val though & why did they go to all that trouble of building up Finn/Darren only to end it just like that for such silly a reason it was a waste of time. Lets see what the new producer does with him.

I agree I think that Kate brought some story lines to the show but I'm looking forward to the new producer.

I disagree Finn has already supported the other barton storylines he needs his own storyline and a good one. The show sending wrong message that a show can only have one gay storyline on the show. Although I will say Lawrence storyline is interesting I wish Finn would get with Lawrence.

I think Finn has too much of a baby face for ED to put him with someone of Larry's generation.

There doesn't seem to be any major storylines for Finn Barton at the moment. He is just included in minor scenes as one of the characters within the general comedy set (Jimmy, Nicola, Rodney, Kerry, Bernice, Marlon and Paddy).

Finn graduated from university around 2013 but has since stayed in Emmerdale in mainly unskilled paid work. One reason for not leaving Emmerdale for a better life is known to be shortage of money. I'm guessing that he may have an outstanding student loan too. He has had various gay relationships and one-night-stands with mainly young men (Simon, Brad, Aaron) up to 2014 but no-one during 2015 as of yet. However, he did previously have short-lived crushes on the older straight characters of David (then 31yo in 2013) and Declan (then 45-46yo in 2014) but these didn't last for long. With this history, it seems unlikely that Finn would be sexually attracted to Lawrence. Except for Robert, there doesn't seem to be anyone of the right type for Finn to have a relationship with within Emmerdale so a young man from outside Emmerdale is needed for a workable storyline lasting for more than the short-term.
