Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[lizann]

I do hope Belle is not going to stab Nate thinking he is Jamie.

or sam

[Ruffed_lemur]

Or maybe want a "freebie". - I don't understand why Dawn is scared of "Beardie Man" all she has to do is threaten to tell his wife, he has more to lose than she has.

I also don't understand the thinking behind the "Gender Reveal Party". If Lydia is making two cakes, one pink, one blue, that must mean no one has opened the hospital letter yet. So how will they know which cake to use? Is Lydia going to open the letter beforehand? If she is why does she not open it now, then she will only have to bake one cake, which she could do when no one is home. I feel I must have missed something here.

Not sure, but I think Lydia opened the letter and baked 1 cake.

[Son of Cain]

Not sure, but I think Lydia opened the letter and baked 1 cake.

That would have been the sensible way to do it, so why was Lydia twittering on about baking two cakes last week. Seems to me the writers do not know what other writers have written.
That make-up did Dawn no favours, she looks far nicer without it. Suppose that is their way of making her look like a sex worker.

[Son of Cain]

Is there no end to self pitying Charity's drunken whinging.

[Snagglepus]

Cain could have charged the barn door with the lawnmower.
He could have levered the padlock off with the crowbar.
He is alright at breaking into places but can't break out.

[tammyy2j]

What did Belle give Sam?

[Dennis tanner]

Sorry. I disagree. Dawn looked nicer with her make up. It was not OTT at all

[Dennis tanner]

Cain could have charged the barn door with the lawnmower.
He could have levered the padlock off with the crowbar.
He is alright at breaking into places but can't break out.

Nothing to do with the padlock. It was a large piece of wood keeping the doores shut

Nice last scene of episode 2 I thought

[Dennis tanner]

Is there no end to self pitying Charity's drunken whinging.

Not till Tracy tells her sister the truth

[Snagglepus]

Nothing to do with the padlock. It was a large piece of wood keeping the doores shut

There was another single door with internal padlock and bolt.

[Son of Cain]

Not till Tracy tells her sister the truth

What is the truth, surely she has already told her the truth.
What I don't understand is how she just happen to come across Charity and Mackenzie in a layby. It looked like it was outside the village, she could not have been following Charity as she was not in a car. Was she just going for a walk in the woods? Another ridiculous contrived situation, one minute she is arguing and trying to scam money out of him, the next moment they are kissing. As much chance of this happening as me winning the lottery.

[lizann]

he has a noisy alive body in the boot, cain, which must have turned charity on to kiss macky

[Dennis tanner]

There was another single door with internal padlock and bolt.

Yes there was but as you say it was on the inside.

[Son of Cain]

Cain could have charged the barn door with the lawnmower.
He could have levered the padlock off with the crowbar.
He is alright at breaking into places but can't break out.

Getting out of the barn would present no problem, if there was a gap between the double doors he could have found something thin like a saw and lifted the bar holding the doors shut, there must have been tools in the barn. Alternatively he could have kicked through some of the planks in the doors. The barn did not look to be that well maintained there was or probably a few place where the boards were beginning to rot. Again lazy contrived writing to force Cain and Moira to talk to each other.

[Perdita]

If Leyla doubts Liam every 5 minutes then maybe it is better they forget a relationship.. sigh :wall:

[lizann]

If Leyla doubts Liam every 5 minutes then maybe it is better they forget a relationship.. sigh :wall:

liam should have called the police for what leyla and gaby are insinuating, slander libel

was it al's birthday?

[Dennis tanner]

If Leyla doubts Liam every 5 minutes then maybe it is better they forget a relationship.. sigh :wall: Yes, Dump her.

[Son of Cain]

If Leyla doubts Liam every 5 minutes then maybe it is better they forget a relationship.. sigh :wall:

Another case of when a character, Liam, tries to say something and the other character, Leyla, interrupts and will not let them speak. Anyway by "The Laws of Soaps" it is time to split them up so that "The Powers That Be" can match them up with other characters in the village. Is anyone ever allowed to be in a relationship with someone from outside the village. There must come a time when everyone in the village will have been paired up with everyone else, but it will take someone with better maths than me to to calculate the maximum number of combinations that are possible. Mackenzie being a new "outsider" has just increase the number of new pairings possible. .

[lizann]

liam with moira as the actors together so intimate scenes can be done, cain with rhona

[lizann]

priya desperate for another wedding, she barely knows al been together only 2 minutes

[Dennis tanner]

Me and the rest of the Tanners are in a Christmas bubble with the Sharma family and the Dingle family

I will have to put up with Livesy.

[Son of Cain]

Priya says that Al makes her laugh, I have seen little evidence that Al makes anyone laugh, well not intentionally anyway.

[Dennis tanner]

Does Jamie fancy Dawn?

Answers please on a postcard

[Son of Cain]

Will Will never learn to keep his mouth shut and his nose out of other people's business? Dawn should have shot him as well as Malone.
If I ever have problems with mental health, I hope my GP is more understanding than Liam. She has behaved badly, but I would have hoped that a doctor would realize she was very unhappy. I am wondering if Gabby is going to commit suicide?
Is Al having an affair with Chastity or is this just a red herring?

Leyla want Liam to forgive her but she refuses to forgive Gabby. Hypocrit ???

Dawn confesses to Billy for no apparent reason.

[Son of Cain]

I am fascinated by the way characters suddenly appear in face masks, like Al, Priya and Chastity did in The HOP, and yet at other times do not wear them. I thought it was a hold-up, then I remembered covid. There seems no rhyme or reason to it.

[Dennis tanner]

Let's smash the church up....rolleyes

[Son of Cain]

Wendy saying "I don't want to stick my nose in" but continuing to do so. Her conversation in the church just did not sound like anything a real person would say, in fact none of the conversation in the church seemed real. Unkind of me I know but I find Wendy intensely annoying. First Dawn now Harriet with the self-flagellation. How long before one of them admit to the killing of Malone.
Has Jamie become a nice guy again, when he first arrived he was nice saying he did not want to be like Kim, then he became horrible, now overnight nice again. Has he got away with running over Moira? seems to be almost forgotten about already.

[Dennis tanner]

I was very impressed with Mike Swirling again.

[Perdita]

I think Noah always had straight hair, not sure this curly look suits him ...

[Son of Cain]

Mind your own, Wendy. - You keep saying you don't want to interfere and then you do - Stop it.

[Dennis tanner]

Mind your own, Wendy. - You keep saying you don't want to interfere and then you do - Stop it.

But I do like Wendy.

[Snagglepus]

Dawn's not up the duff is she?

[lizann]

Dawn's not up the duff is she?

by ellis or jamie?

[Snagglepus]

by ellis or jamie?

or even one of her recent 'clients'.

[Son of Cain]

Moira must be the very definition of an optimist, to think that Cain could ever fully forgive her for having an affair with Nate, especially as he is staying in the village as a constant reminder of that. Perhaps he could have forgiven her if it had been a stranger but his own son????? As for Rhona saying that Moira and Cain are meant to be together, well obviously not or she would not have had the affair with Nate in the first place.

none knew he was cain's son not that is an excuse, think moira has a high sex drive who likes attention and cheating, she became her mother but a serial cheater

[Son of Cain]

none knew he was cain's son not that is an excuse, think moira has a high sex drive who likes attention and cheating, she became her mother but a serial cheater

It's true no one knew at the time Nate was Cain's son, and that he pursued her relentlessly, but if she loved Cain as much as she says she does she would not have given in. Whether or not he was Cain's son she did, but from Cain's point of view I think it made her crime worse I really do not think he can forgive her or Nate. But this is Soap where things forgiven and forgotten all the time.

[lizann]

naughty meena, what pills is rishi on?

[Son of Cain]

Puzzled by Paul's betting scheme, is the scrap guy putting bets on for him? If not, why is he giving him a cut? If yes, why would he need to ask for tips, as he could see the betting slips. In my experience compulsive betters tend to bet on long shots, which never win often enough to create a winning streak. Would it not be easier to use on-line betting and keep his phone password protected. There must be more subtle ways to spell out to us that Paul is still betting.

[Snagglepus]

Puzzled by Paul's betting scheme, is the scrap guy putting bets on for him? If not, why is he giving him a cut?

I think he is using working for the scrap guy as the excuse for where his money is coming from. Paul is claiming it is wages not winnings.

[Son of Cain]

I think he is using working for the scrap guy as the excuse for where his money is coming from. Paul is claiming it is wages not winnings.

Yes but he gave the scrap guy money, a cut, we saw him counting it and he said "it did not make sense to him you losing money on his winnings".

[Son of Cain]

Will is getting worse, he makes everything about him. Sooner he gooes to live outside the village the better.

[lizann]

jamie worried about dawn

Wasn't Paul suposed to be paying his son back ?

[Dennis tanner]

How did someone as daft as Rishi become a successful businessman

Why is Harriet worrying about the Christmas service. Just do the same as last year. Nobody will notice.

[Son of Cain]

If we are to assume that Dawn caught her STI from a client, then it is unlikely that either Billy or Ellis will have been affected, unless she has slept with either of them since she came back.

[Dennis tanner]

If we are to assume that Dawn caught her STI from a client, then it is unlikely that either Billy or Ellis will have been affected, unless she has slept with either of them since she came back.

That would be Ellis then

[Son of Cain]

That would be Ellis then

When?

[lizann]

That would be Ellis then

she went back on the game after ellis when she took off to make money but she does not how long she had the sti, could be dormant but reinfected is that possible

[Dennis tanner]

she went back on the game after ellis when she took off to make money but she does not how long she had the sti, could be dormant but reinfected is that possible

Yes. I get confused about what happened when

[Son of Cain]

she went back on the game after ellis when she took off to make money but she does not how long she had the sti, could be dormant but reinfected is that possible

If we are to believe that she did not have any STI before sleeping with Ellis, or at least she was not showing any symptoms, then she probably contracted it when she went back on the game, which probably means both Ellis and Billy are in the clear. I think it is unlikely it was dormant as it was quite a while ago when she was a sex worker previously.

[Snagglepus]

Are Dan and Amelia still alive, they haven't been seen for a few weeks.

[Dennis tanner]

Liam was very amusing.

Harriet has broken her recent promnises to God several times

[Son of Cain]

Are Dan and Amelia still alive, they haven't been seen for a few weeks.

Have they starved to death?

[Dennis tanner]

Some very good acting tonight because the usual muppets were absent

[Son of Cain]

Glad Liam is not my doctor, starting on the beers in the middle of the afternoon, before evening surgery. Must be getting desperate for story ideas when they reuse the old, one bloke thinks the other bloke is gay and fancies him, joke.

[Snagglepus]

If Harriet and Will act sharp they could dig Malone up, put him in the back of the car and head off to Weatherfield where they could throw him down David Platt's sinkhole.

[Perdita]

If Harriet and Will act sharp they could dig Malone up, put him in the back of the car and head off to Weatherfield where they could throw him down David Platt's sinkhole.

:lol:

[Dennis tanner]

Harriet could easily solve the problem by switching graves markings

[lizann]

Have they starved to death?

dan starved to be fully cured

[Son of Cain]

Harriet is a terrible vicar, and she must have been a terrible police officer. It is hard to believe, looking at her now, that for years she was undercover, which must require nerves of steel. When Malone was shot she should have reported it at the time. Dawn shot him with his own gun in self defense. Even though her fingerprints were on the gun his would be too, but more importantly hers would not be on the ammunition clip or the bullets, which presuming Malone loaded the gun, his would be. I do not imagine it was a service weapon so this would show him to be up to no good, as would the heroin and syringe also with his prints on them. This situation was caused by Harriet's stupidity in covering it up.
Does Will never watch TV drama as bodies are always found by dogs and dog walkers. Just because he wants to bury the body in a "private wood" does not make this any less likely, Will and Harriet had no problem gaining access, especially as he says Kim and co do not go there, you can bet your life other people do. I am sure we have seen people walking dogs in the woode before, Zac and Sam were at one time always poaching in these woods. Have bodies not been buried in the woods in the past? Did Lachlan not do so? We all know at some time the body will be found, be interesting to see what happens then.

She is no worse than the previous vicar. Shooting and killing a Police Inspoector would not be that easy to explain. When you bury, the trick is to bury as deep as possible.

[Son of Cain]

Yesterday Will said they could bury the body well away from the house, and yet here's Kim just strolling past.

[Son of Cain]

I do wish producers of Soaps and TV Dramas would learn the difference between spades and shovels. It is extremely difficult to dig a hole with a shovel, you need a spade to cut into the soil and then you can use a shovel to remove the the loose soil. If the ground is dry and hardpacked you need a fork or a pick to loosen it, it is almost impossible to dig a hole in undisturbed ground with only a shovel. Anyone with a garden will know how difficult it is to dig a hole near a tree or a large bush because of the roots in the ground, but again and again we see this on TV, when bodies are buried in the woods. They also frequently have the same problem with rifles and shotguns, though not in this case.

Agree with all that but I now cannot believe that Harriet was a Police Officer. Sjhe was hopelsss.. Hope they remembered to fill in the other grave and leave it in good condition.

That McKenzie needs to seriouis slap.

[Son of Cain]

There seems to have been a personality swap with Harriet and Will. Up until recently it had been Will panicking and falling apart and Harriet the strong, calm sensible one. Now the opposite.

[Dennis tanner]

Harriet needs to get a grip. Moira needs to stop grovelling to her bad brother.

[Son of Cain]

Since every time we see Will his clothes look the same, why would anyone remember anything significant about what he was wearing if the police ask?. Same could be said about Harriet.

Charity and MacKenzie - partners in crime. Isn't this just a rewrite of Debby and Ross.

I loath that MacKenzie

[Son of Cain]

MacKenzie ! - Another standard Soap 'Good Looking Bad Boy' have they not the imagination to come up with anything else. Almost a carbon copy of Ross. I am not sure why he is still here, Jamie hired him with a considerable salary if I remember right, for protection from Cain, who does not seem to be threatening him any longer. Apart from standing about looking good, I cannot see what he does. Now he embarks on the usual occupation or stealing trucks and their contents, we have seen it all before.

[Snagglepus]

Does Charity still think she is a Moll and wants to do a blag.
She is just a thieving conniving selfish slag.

[Son of Cain]

Does Charity still think she is a Moll and wants to do a blag.
She is just a thieving conniving selfish slag.

She is just reverting to type, it was only being with Vanessa that kept her "good". I do wish they would make more effort to find new material.

Ross had wit, cunningness and charm, Mack has nothing

[Dennis tanner]

Ross had wit, cunningness and charm, Mack has nothing

Ross was a nasty vicious thug who should be in prison.

[lizann]

Ross was a nasty vicious thug who should be in prison.

but he had heart, too many thugs who need prison in the dales

[Dennis tanner]

but he had heart, too many thugs who need prison in the dales

I could never see past his nastiness and criminality.

[Son of Cain]

MacKenzie and Charity unloading a van load of shoes outside her house when Jimmy is in cafe across the road? Did Jamie not notice that MacKenzie arrived in Emmerdale with practically no belongings other than the clothes he stood up in? So why would he need the kayak hut to store his "stuff"?
What happened to his car, was it stolen, does he still have it? If he dumped it did drive it out of the village to do so?
I do hope we are not heading for a Kim and MacKenzie tomboy story.

[Dennis tanner]

Big Livesy is now working for Kim

Liv is just stupid.

[Perdita]

I do hope we are not heading for a Kim and MacKenzie tomboy story.

I am happy to bet all my Christmas presents on that happening before the year is even out ....:wall:

[lizann]

is it will/kim and charity/mack/debbie

[Dennis tanner]

Mackenzie could kill her son and Moira would still; ask him to stay as long as he wanted.

[Dennis tanner]

More idiocy from Kirk and Marlon.

Did it ever occur to them that they could ask Harriet for the use of the village hall ?

[Son of Cain]

What was that rubbish scene with Marlon and Paddy in the church last night. For a moment I thought they were having a "Gay Epiphany" and were going to get married to each other.

[Perdita]

Al and Debbie? When did they get together? She has been away for a few years???????

[Son of Cain]

Al and Debbie? When did they get together? She has been away for a few years???????

Did Al's car not breakdown one time near Aberdeen, and someone said to get Debbie to fix it. - I know! - Of all the garages...........

[lizann]

Did Al's car not breakdown one time near Aberdeen, and someone said to get Debbie to fix it. - I know! - Of all the garages...........

yes charity arranged it for priya

[flappinfanny]

Quite a boring hour tonight, what is the point of Rishi? out of many pointless soap characters Rishi is top of my list. The final part was probably the best with the wedding, the graveside and the snow at the end.

[Son of Cain]

With so many women in the village wearing the knock off shoes, it should not be too difficult for the police to trace them back to Charity. It's great how she managed to hold back the right sizes, did she simply guess their sizes or seek about in the night measuring feet. MacKenzie must be thick if he is considering doing an other job with Charity in her self destruct mode.

Did Debbie actually see any of her family while on her clandestine meeting with Al. I have to admit I did like their attempt to mislead us by hinting that it was Dawn that Al was seeing.

Altogether a pretty poor Christmas episode with the over used 'will they won't they' get married.

[lizann]

vinny should go see a doctor from his beating

[lizann]

mack flirting with aaron

[Dennis tanner]

vinny should go see a doctor from his beating

He can't. It would upset Mandy.

I did not enjoy the Christmas Day nonsense. The 'New Dingle' couldn't even be bothered to dress properly., Dis-owning the name of the people who raised him really well is disgusting.

However him using the name Dingle will really help his failing Vet's business....Not

[lizann]

paddy has always been seen as a honorary dingle, mandy chas delilah emily he gets around

[Son of Cain]

In what world does someone who thinks of himself as a "Pro" stand about in the middle of a violent robbery engaging in idle chit - chat about going to the Bahamas. It was nice of the truck driver to supply Charity with that large spanner to hit him on the head with, tho' I cannot imagine why he would need a spanner that big for, unless he was going to remove the steering wheel or ??? No I cannot think what he would need it for.

[lizann]

is kim still after cain for rejecting her, wanting revenge

[Son of Cain]

If Al's adoptive parents put him into care when he was 10 and he has not seen them since, would they still be considered his parents. Would the adoption be annulled? Can the adoption process be reversed. Priya must be desparate or stupid to believe that they would phone on Christmas Day and invite him over after 30 years.

[Dennis tanner]

Would Moira's brother not be scared of Cain, if Moira wasn't around to protect the little $hite

[Son of Cain]

We have a new character, MacKenzie, and they do not seem to know what to do with him, so they revert to the old stand-by of robbing trucks, and bring Charity out of retirement to join him. How original! - Why would you steal brand new engine parts and give them to someone who runs a scrap yard to sell them on. Forgetting the fact that the parts are probably for new model cars and people who buy parts from scrap yards are usually looking for parts for older models and wanting them cheap it is a good plan, even if it would take years to get rid of them all. Wonder what engine part was in those really long boxes.

I bet the boxes were actually empty.

That MacKenzie annoys me more and more every episode

[lizann]

no army now for noah with a criminal record

[Snagglepus]

no army now for noah with a criminal record
I can't stand his whimpering voice.

[tammyy2j]

They have ruined a good character in Charity, the show is gone so bad, no storyline of any interest

[Perdita]

no army now for noah with a criminal record

Years ago that was a reason they got into the army to get them sorted out .. should still do that, would save money on keeping them in prison...

[Son of Cain]

They have ruined a good character in Charity, the show is gone so bad, no storyline of any interest

If you mean by Charity being a 'good character' that she has been good, I think she has just gone back to being the way she always was. She has always been a scheming, selfish, dishonest person, except for the brief time she was with Vanessa. Only difference is now, is that in the past she mostly got away with it, now she is mot.
That MacKenzie does like to chat while he is carrying out a crime. Hope the police don't check for fingerprints, as I could not help but notice one of his gloves miraculously disappeared when he brushed the metal shaving away from the safe lock. I do not understand why he hates Moira so, 'big sisters' grow up and leave home all the time
Considering Harriet never had more than a handful of parishioners in her church, why would they need a second vicar? - How long before the body is found? Harriet visiting the grave so often will soon create a footpath through the woods. - Why would the HOP workers expect a bonus when hardly anyone ever goes to the place? - Still using their masks in the opposite way to the real world. - Marlon and Rhona getting back together?
Agree with you no good storylines here, worse still no believable ones.

Charity has always been one of my favourite characters even when bad and scheming but I think the writers have taken it too far now and no redemption back, ruined

Harriet is finally acting religious like a Vicar and all it took was moving a dead body to the woods :p

Charity has been my favourite character for many years. A second vicar is ridiculous. In the real world, there would not be a vicar based in an hamlet like Emmerdale.

They have also turned Charity stupid, when she finds herself locked in, she sits down and gets drunk. Why did she not leave by the window, even if they were locked she she could have smashed them with a chair.
They have also gone too far with Harriet, I just do not see her going to pieces like this, Will, yes, Harriet, no. They have complete reversed these two characters. Did she keep visiting Malone before they moved him? The new vicar is just too quick to realize the grave has been disturbed. If the two parishes have been amalgamated has he just abandoned his old parishioners and moved to Emmerdale, surely he would have stayed put to tend his old flock, unless his old church and house were sold off immediately.

If the two parishes have been amalgamated has he just abandoned his old parishioners and moved to Emmerdale, surely he would have stayed put to tend his old flock, unless his old church and house were sold off immediately.

If they closed all the churches in Hotton, all the vicars would move to Emmerdale

[Son of Cain]

If they closed all the churches in Hotton, all the vicars would move to Emmerdale

[Son of Cain]

I am happy to bet all my Christmas presents on that happening before the year is even out ....:wall:

Still waiting for Kim and MacKenzie to get together! - Looks like you lost your bet! - Please supply a list of your presents so I can see what I fancy. - I still think we might see a Kim and MacKenzie toyboy story but I am not betting my Christmas presents on it!

[Dennis tanner]

I am annoyed with Noah. He claimed that he didn't want to stay with his mom because nobody liked her. All the more reason why he should support her

[Dennis tanner]

Daft Jamie cannot understand why he can't threaten Will and seduce Dawn at the same time

Vinny was useless. If your girlfriend is epileptic why not find out how you might need to help her.

Livesy is a pratt...as usual.

does the vicar job come with accommodation, a house?

No, Rhona was going to put him up.

[Son of Cain]

Did I imagine it that Will phoned the Bishop a day or so before the new vicar turned up. Did we find out what for?

You did not imagine it. I imagine he told the Bishop that Harriet was overworked or not coping. Altho how she could be overworked in a place with a handful of parishioners is hard to imagine. Just a lazy way of introducing Charles.
This Rhona and Marlon romance is painful.

[Dennis tanner]

does the vicar job come with accommodation, a house?

I was under the impression that he would have accomodation in his own parish.

The situation in Emmerdale now is that we have far too many criminals and too many idiots

Watching CNN news today I saw and heard a Democratic Party politician called Debbie Dingell. So that's where she has been all this time .

[Son of Cain]

Charles really isn't the brightest vicar in the pulpit, he knows Mason and Danny, from his outreach project, were in the vicinity, but it never occurs to him they may be involved in the drugs in the pub incident. Or is this just another example of him seeing the best in people. Why on earth did Sarah put the pills in Ethan's coat in the first place, she was already on her way out of the pub, and could have hidden them somewhere else, in a place that Danny or Mason could have retreived them later. Is this just an excuse for Debbie to come back to the village?

All true. He is too naive to work with criminals

if charles and ethan tell the police about sarah mason and danny they should at least look into them

debbie wasn't missed

[tammyy2j]

Ethan keeps bringing up racism profiling now Al and Nate who never talked about it before have experience

Marlon could hear or lip read from where he was hiding, watching Al and Debbie

Priya and Rishi want a big wedding so can we expect her mother and brother back before Al is caught presumably on his wedding day

[Dennis tanner]

The solution is obvious. You have two witnesses who saw Danny put the drugs in the coat

what did harriet do with lucas in the toy shop

[Perdita]

what did harriet do with lucas in the toy shop

Emmerdale reveals the full details of Harriet Finch's mistake over Lucas tonight (January 15).

Harriet (Katherine Dow Blyton) begged Dawn Taylor's young son to keep quiet last night after a mysterious incident when she picked him up.

In Friday's episode, Harriet continues her efforts to carry on as normal and keep Dawn in the dark, hoping there will be no repercussions from what happened.

Sadly for her, it's not long before Lucas's social worker Eloise turns up in the village to expose her careless behaviour.

Dawn (Olivia Bromley) is horrified as Eloise explains that Harriet lost Lucas in a shop for an extended period of time the day before.

The worrying incident was witnessed by Lucas's former foster mum, who has now shared her concerns with the authorities as Harriet was drunk and out of control.

Dawn and Harriet both hope they'll escape with a warning, but the mistake is being taken very seriously and the entire viability of their current custody arrangement is being called into question by Eloise.

The worst happens for Dawn when the police arrive and Lucas is taken away, leaving the young child with an uncertain future.

Can Harriet make amends for her actions and how is Will going to react when he finds out what has happened?

[Son of Cain]

I am really glad they did not drag out the when will Debbie and Priya find out about each other story line much longer. What I find hard to accept is why either of them was with Al in the first place. Al seems such a cold character, and I saw no evidence of chemistry between him and either Debbie or Priya.

[lizann]

what can priya take from al, ellis?

[Son of Cain]

what can priya take from al, ellis?
You beat me to it, - I was just going to say what business and money can they take from Al. He has a 1% share in an Outdoor Pursuit Centre that rarely has any visitors, so how much is that worth? - Not so long ago he was in serious debt to some psycho gangster who was threatening to kill him, I cannot remember how he paid him off, but I doubt he has any money left now. - can't they just trick him into getting naked, and throw him out into the street?

[lizann]

al was in debt, his car taken

[Dennis tanner]

but sarah did it not danny or mason, ethan knows it was sarah, sarah wont lie about danny unless debbie makes her

That is true but Ethan did not bother to ask her where all the pills came from

marlon and jai will have big happy grins when the truth about al comes out

[Dennis tanner]

Didn't Danny's mate try selling them in the Woolpack to Ethan's friends?

Yes he did but Sarah more or less accepted that they were her drugs and there was sufficient there to make her a dealer.

[lizann]

afair sarah took one tablet to take herself, chas found mason packet to deal in the pub floor, was it one tablet sarah put in ethan's coat

[Son of Cain]

afair sarah took one tablet to take herself, chas found mason packet to deal in the pub floor, was it one tablet sarah put in ethan's coat

The police officer found a small plastic bag with what looked like about 8 tablets in it. There were two packets the one Mason dropped and one Sarah put in Ethan's coat that the police found. The most unbelievable thing about this story is that both Charity and Chastity saw the three teenagers there, but did not for one minute think they were involved in any way.

[Dennis tanner]

afair sarah took one tablet to take herself, chas found mason packet to deal in the pub floor, was it one tablet sarah put in ethan's coat

I could be wrong but that's not how I remember it

[lizann]

did sarah take the packet to take all herself or sell on?

[Son of Cain]

did sarah take the packet to take all herself or sell on?

I think she was given it to hold so that Danny or Mason would not be caught with them. They must have thought Sarah looked more innocent.

[Dennis tanner]

Will Vinny be telling Many about the beatings he has been getting? It can't make the matter worse can it if he tells her.

I think that Tracy is right not to trust that Nate. I certainly wouldn't

[Dennis tanner]

So Paul took a beating off that chap who is smaller than him. No visible evidence of injury.

Cain needs to say to Moira "It's me or your brother" and then give him a very sound beating

[lizann]

paul ends up in hospital from one beating but vinny no from how many beatings now

[Son of Cain]

So Paul took a beating off that chap who is smaller than him. No visible evidence of injury.

Size is not necessarily the deciding factor in a fight, altho' a good big one should defeat a good small one. Connor is not much smaller that Paul a bit shorter but slightly heavier built, so fairly evenly matched. Skill is the deciding factor, balance, distancing and positioning, speed and most of all the "will to go ahead". More often than not whoever makes the first strike will prevail. There was some light bruising to Paul's face. We do not know if someone found Paul or if he phoned for an ambulance himself. There is always the possibility that he beat himself up for sympathy.

When Priya transferred money from the HOP account to the wedding savings acounnt was she doing it to discredit Al and make him seem a thief or trying to rob Al? Debbie said said they were going to ruin Al and take everything he had, but the money in the HOP account is not Al's.

[Dennis tanner]

debbie got her to hear al now priya back on vengeance train

so lukey had a guy on guy experience, bi or gay?

Who knows. He only knew about the experience when he read the script

[Son of Cain]

I thought "The Big Al Reveal" was a bit of an anti-climax. I laughed out loud when "Warrior Princess Debbie" (it's the hair) said to Al "you couldn't sit facing the door for the rest of your life" that was the one thing he didn't do. I lost count of how often we saw him on his phone to "the other one" while sitting with his back to the door. I was screaming at him to turn round and watch for someone coming in. The amount of suppliers he spoke to, there should have been a never ending stream of trucks delivering stuff to The HOP.

I am not taking to Charles at all, he just seems to be trying to hard.

Cannot wait to see what "pantomime villan" Kim is going to do with Al. I am sure the one thing she will not do is go to the police. She will probably involve him in one of her "dastardly plots".

I can't believe that Kim let her daft son have all that information.
Smug MacKenzie is insufferable
Paul is now after Liv's money

[Son of Cain]

Have I missed something? - Why does Connor think Paul should be giving him money? He is not putting bets on for him any more, is he? Mandy knows about Paul betting, so he is not blackmailing him. I definitely must have missed something.

[Son of Cain]

Is that a new Cathy, she looks different?

Moira turned gunslinger! - Just because Emmerdale starts with an 'E' doesn't make it Eastenders.

He owes him money. Paul will now get a credit card in the name of Lydia Dingle and max it out

[Son of Cain]

He owes him money. Paul will now get a credit card in the name of Lydia Dingle and max it out
But why does he owe him money? - He was giving him a cut of his winnings, but he does not have any winnings now and ended up on a losing streak. So we now have Connor who as far as we know was just an ordinary working scrap man now entering full gangster/hit man mode threatening people with severe harm and even death, risking many years in prison. It makes no sense to me.

[Snagglepus]

That's how I remember it, saying he was doing the odd bit of work for Connor was his alibi for coming into money and he was giving him a cut. What hold can Connor have over him if he has addmitted his gambling.

[Son of Cain]

Glad you remember it as I do. - When Mandy did not know about Paul gambling it made sense Connor trying to blackmail him, but now it has actually moved to "demanding money with menace" so why does Paul just not go to the police. - Maybe it is just a way of writing Paul out when he gets caught out for fraud with the credit card in Lydia's name and gets sent to prison. - Can't come soon enough for me, I would not be too sad to see Mandy go with him.

Charity like all soap characters are creations of the script. Emma Atkins like a lot of soap actors will probably say she enjoys playing this nasty role. Personally I have always found Charity to be a pretty despicable character, and I for one, am glad to see her get her comeuppance. It is not often we see soap characters having to come to account for their bad behavior and pay the price for it. Probably will all be forgotten in a month or so.

I am now wondering if Paul is in on his own kidnap as a way of getting Vinny to persuade Liv to stump up the money. He did not put up much resistance when they told him to get in the van.

Let's hope this silly story of Paul owing Connor money is over, altho'.I still don't understand why Paul owed him money, did Connor lend him stake money? Connor must be one of life's eternal optimists, to think that a gambling addict who got himself into debt by losing, could get himself out of debt by carrying on gambling and winning. Not sure I understand this logic either. Still both of them seemed to have extreme good fortune, Connor got his money, and Paul did not get his head stove in when a Stewards Enquiry was called. Looks like Paul will be with us a while longer.

This is my understanding of the storyline, and yet we are meant to believe that Connor a working man not a gangster would threaten to kill Paul for ?4,000 a sum he would have needed to share with his accomplice in the kidnapping. A far as I can make out ?4,000 was a sum that Connor just pulled out of the air, as I sure Paul did not owe him that much originally. Hopefully the last we will hear of this nonsense.

Don't covid rules apply in Emmerdale.
How about they show someone asymptomatic with covid passing it on by having casual sex with someone outside of their bubble.
This would be a more believable scenario than some of the stories they have come up with.
