Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[Perdita]

Those were some nice scenes between Moira and Ruby. Beth Cordingly has some really huge acting chops. She's so beautiful but isn't afraid to get dirty or ugly.

I am so glad that Charles called the police. It's a bit ironic after his own secrets, but it's the only way for Ethan to move forward. I'm just surprised that he directly called the police rather than calling an attorney (or what the equivalent is in the UK) to have them make the connection.

Lawyer or Solicitor is the equivalent name for attorney in UK

When you make confession to a priest it's supposed to be in cofidence. Useless priest.

As for fraudster Frank, it was an accident

Ethan did not confess to a priest, he confessed to his father. Pretty sure Charles is a Angican vicar, not a Catholic priest, so the confidence of the confessional probably does not apply.

Frank's death may have been an accident, in that they did not set out to kill him, but it was still an unlawful act that happened during the furtherance of a crime. Probably would be seen as involuntary manslaughter, or unlawful act manslaughter both of which carry custodial sentences, and the dreadful mother and daughter were quite happy to see someone else get the blame.

Get outside of Emmerdale, are you kidding, is that even possible. Did you ever watch "Under the Dome".

All vicars are priests

Fair enough. Can we stop them being refered to as murderers then ???

All vicars may be priests, but not all priests take confession. Ethan was not speaking to Charles as a priest in a confessional, so should have no expectation of confidentiality.

I cannot recall if I have ever referred to them as murderers, usually I say they were responsible for his death.

ethan is very clean from staying in a barn

Many do though

Maybe it's because I was a newer viewer who didn't know the history of the characters, but I still have a harshness to Charles for planting the necklace on his father, who died with everyone believing he was a thief.

Maybe it's with that lesson learned that he turned Ethan in, but it all came across very hypocritical to me.

I don't know why Suni hasn't told Ruby and Caleb how heroic Nicky was, racing to come to save him from those who attacked him. I suppose it has to linger so the story could drag on and they won't realize that Ethan was helping him to save Suni.
