Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[Son of Cain]

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.

Charles is a sanctimonious hypocrite who is always preaching about forgiveness but does not always practice what he preaches.

Suni - I think it is more likely that he is scared if he tells them, they, particularly Ruby, will blame him for what happened to Nicky.

I agree about the BIB but I don't recall actually hearing him preach.

What an incredibly disturbing episode. Poor Belle.

She need to get out of his control and divorce him quickly, while she is still alive and able to.

belle or mandy or lydia will probably end up killing tom

I kind of like the idea of him being gored in a field of wild bores. But before that, he will have a knife wound from each and every Dingle. And one from me in good measure.

Do not kick the pig.

[lizann]

aaron will sort out ethan and tom

tom using suicide threat to get back in with belle

would sam have other nieces and nephews from tina and nathan

Although it might be considered an important story to tell, I am not getting much enjoyment or relaxation tuning in these days to see Tom getting more and more depraved, hurting Belle, and knowing that the poor dog's days are marked Fatal Attraction style, if my gut is telling me correctly.

But my heart is with Angelica at that juvi center and I wish we could have scenes with her. It is still pretty bizarre that Cathy got off scott free (well, with a huge burden to bear), while Angel is incarcerated. We saw Cathy doing the driving most of the time. I still don't even understand when or why they changed drivers. But I want to see less of violent Tom and more about sweet Angel keeping her head above water as she goes through her sentence. I actually wish we could have scenes where Belle returns to the center to visit Angel, talk through situations, and to help her to deal with it all.

Usually when a character is sent to "the chokey", as Dennis would say, it is because the actor wants to leave, or their contract is not being renewed, unless they are a long serving major character like, Cain or Sally or David in Corrie. Not sure which in the case of Rebecca Bakes. If or when see Angel again I suspect it will be after her release and she will probably return with a new head. As for Belle, I think she has more than enough to deal with in her own life at present. Cathy probably escaped "the chokey" because she was not leaving the programme rather than for any reason that made sense.

[ccahill2]

Thanks for that. Actually that's a lot like what an American soap that I watch also does. I just didn't consider it with a child.
