I know that Stockholm syndrome is a thing and everything but can the writers stop punishing Daz?

Does this apply to Amelia? Dobbing Daz in with the cops? Would this be part of Stockholm syndrome?

i didn't think stockholm syndrome for her, did she meet beth online?

i wouldn't be surprised if amelia and beth were made a couple as emmerdale loves the gays

Are David and Marlon trying to compete for the title of 'Prize Idiot' - David continually gets himself into awkward situations and seems to have no ability to foresee where his actions will take him. - Marlon become a babbling idiot whenever he is in Jessie's company or indeed at the mere mention of her name. Personally I find him paired with Jessie as unlikely as Laurel and Bob, it's like musical chairs/relationships, as though the writers feel everyone in the village has to be paired with everyone else at some time. - For me it is ceasing to be funny any more.

Is it wrong for me to dislike Sarah so much, after all she is a child, a spoiled brat of a child, but somehow I feel I should be more forgiving.

Daz brings Amelia back and Dan and Kerry's reaction is not to say where did you find her but to tell him to go, and then they and the police continue to be hostile to Daz and arrest him, without asking him his side of the story.

I really believe that the scriptwriters have writer's block and are in a perpetual state of drunken stupor when they further think up and develop this particular storyline........

The whole storyline of Daz as Amelia's father and then her running away with new friend Beth was awfully done and now she lies about Daz, why?

[Son of Cain]

Your guess is as good as mine, in fact I cannot even hazzard a guess. I suppose the scriptwriters will come up with a reason, even if it is unbeliveable, when they get over their writers block and come out of their drunken stupor. They continue to show the police as unbelievably stupid, particularly DC Smee who I imagine would trouble finding her way home at the end of the day. Doctors and medical staff do not fare much better with characters more often than not being abusive to them, when they are only trying to help. Debbie recently chastising the doctor for sending Sarah home without a new heart. I wonder if she realizes some else has to die before one is available. It really does get a bit tedious to keep repeating these cliches time after time. A rare exception was Paddy and Chastity who even after receiving heart breaking news were still polite and respectful.

Stockholm syndrome?

I assumed it was because Beth told her that Daz killed her father.
