Thanks Perdita ♥

Her and Marlon break up again, for good this time, does she leave for a while to visit her mother but that is not shocking though

[LizzyBizzy]

I hope she doesn't get back with Ashley, even though I think his relationship with Harriet is doomed. I just can't take to either Laurel or Marlon.

[Serena Williams]

This storyline reeks of homophobia so Aaron and Robert cannot become a proper couple. Is Kate Oates stupid or something? Does she not realize how popular Aaron and Robert are? This is such a waste making robert a stereotypical bisexual killer. I am surprised at the homophobia. The gay male characters on emmerdale are treated like second class citizens they never get to find real love. Aaron has a dead boyfriend already Jackson. Finn ex had AIDS. This show is so homophobic. I understand there needs to be drama but I am disappointed in Kaye Oates she has written Robert into a corner.

[10079229]

I find the Jai threatening Rachel and trying to take Archie away from his mother storyline very upsetting. Just have shared custody! I hope Jay really gets what is coming to him.

Are they that popular? I don't like them together. Not that I'm homophobic, but because I hate Robert. I think Aaron deserves someone to make him happy and Robert doesn't bring happiness to anyone he's with-he's a disaster. I wish they found someone good for Aaron and got rid of Robert-or kept him with Chrissie. Why couldn't Aaron and Finn be a couple ??

finn is too quiet and good for aaron not a good match up

Too good for Aaron? And which way is Aaron bad guy? Aaron is only troubled because he's having relationships with wrong men. Finn might be good for him.
What I find strange is, that in a small village like that there's already 3 gay men-2 of them openly. No lesbians?

I did know that- it was connected to Ednas husband.
At the time men could be sent to prison for taking
part in homosexual acts. It didnt mean they were
wholly or predominately gay.

But his marriage was afterward -so assumed he was
now or always had been bi- sexual.

relationship with a woman. Sorry if I misunderstood.

Finn is boring he has no personality the writers have wasted him. The writers do not know what to do with Finn he is too perfect and he needs his own storyline. The show treats Aaron and Finn aa inferior to the lesbians and heterosexual characters. Notice Aaron and Finn have no happy love life. People say soaps need conflict but Aaron and Finn are victims of homophobia. I doubt there are any gay people on the Emmerdale staff.

Troubled Laurel Dingle makes a scene at her mother's wake in Emmerdale tonight (July 20).

The recovering alcoholic is supported by her estranged husband Marlon and her other ex Ashley Thomas as she attends Hilary's send-off, but the day ends up being more difficult than she could have imagined.

Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) struggles when she gets a frosty reception from her sister Caroline, and things get even worse when her nosy sibling jumps to the wrong conclusion that she is pregnant since she isn't drinking at the wake.

When the gossip gets too much for Laurel, she loudly snaps at Caroline and ends up revealing much more than she would have wanted in front of all the guests. How will her family react?

Rubbish. A small village with 3 gays (2 openly so) and the show is homophobic? Just because they don't get to live a quiet, simply dull happy soap-world existence does not make the shows producers homophobic. Would we rather they just bimbled off happily in to a dull, passive existence like Betty? On the contrary, these stories show a willingness by the producers to put gay characters into the same kind of plots / scenes as their straight compatriots. Surely this is the very opposite of homophobia?

Finn is boring the writers refuse to give him an edge he is too weak for Aaron. Robert and Aaron are equals they are both obnoxious and also have fiery personalities. Aaron and Robert are alpha males.

Yes I disagree so what Emmerdale has a few gay characters but what do they do? Ali and Ruby have no storyline at the moment they are just there. AAron and Finn have not had a loving relationship at all.

July is turning into an unlucky month for Emmerdale vet Paddy Kirk, as he finds himself at the centre of another life-or-death situation in tonight's dramatic double bill.

Paddy (Dominic Brunt) makes a dangerous decision when he chooses to go looking for missing Aaron Livesy, who has been attacked and tied up by Robert Sugden in a remote holiday cottage.

Turning detective, Paddy puts the pieces of the puzzle together and figures out where Aaron (Danny Miller) is - but he's totally unprepared for the explosive scene that greets him when he arrives.

By the time Paddy turns up, Robert (Ryan Hawley) has already returned to the cottage and is preparing to silence Aaron forever following failed attempts to reason with him.

With Aaron still threatening to expose his many secrets, a shaken Robert is ready to use a gun to get rid of him once and for all. However, when Paddy comes bursting in, Robert is startled and accidentally fires the weapon straight at him...
