Meena's trinket box is unearthed again next week.

This is a spoiler .. maybe post these under the spoiler section in future :)

Sorry Perdita

[Perdita]

Sorry Perdita

No worries, I am sure you were not aware but some members prefer not to know what is going to happen but read current storylines so upcoming storylines should be posted in the spoiler sections . :)

[Dennis tanner]

Now how did that box keep getting buried? Who has been burying it ?

Vinny is excited about owning half of Liv's wealth. He can't wait to get married.

Did Marlon and Kirk expect Rhona to be upset about Pierce ?

[lizann]

Meena's trinket box is unearthed again next week.

lucky leyla was discharged to see it

[Son of Cain]

Am I being unsympathetic to Victoria? - Instead of thinking all these negative thoughts about what Meena could have done to her, she should look on the bright side and consider herself lucky that she survived her ordeal. I think that sometimes Soap's overdo this tendency for characters to dwell on all these "what ifs."

I am finding Charles more and more annoying.

I am finding Charles more and more annoying.

I also find Charles annoying and he is more of a stalker than a vicar. He finished his OTT prayer with an Amen which is a collective response from 2 or more people to say that they agree with what has been said. ( Thus the saying "Amen to that" etc )

I was even more annoyed with the pathetic Jacob who was very quick to betray Noah.

[Snagglepus]

Noah always does a snivel when he speaks. Getting irritating.

[Dennis tanner]

Noah always does a snivel when he speaks. Getting irritating.

He is entitled to snivel when he is betrayed

Chas and Paddy...What were you talking about ??????

Liv.....You two, Faith and Bear paying rent back dated from when you moved in without asking me

[Glen1]

Noah always does a snivel when he speaks. Getting irritating.
He's been a constant moaning ,misery for ages .

[Dennis tanner]

He's been a constant moaning ,misery for ages .

He has been given little joy.

[Son of Cain]

I like David's hair, but think he should get rid of his beard.

[Snagglepus]

Whenever I have had to sleep in a van overnight the windows have condensation on in the morning. The Dingle van must be air conditioned.

[Snagglepus]

Now that Pierce has died is there a point to Marcus or was that just to introduce a new character?
Are there any spare women in Emmerdale, or, now that Aaron and Ben have gone there are no homosexuals in the village other than Ethan who is hardly featured, could Marcus be a new man for him to give him a role, otherwise he is pointless too.

I could see that coming.

[lizann]

does ethan have any office

[Dennis tanner]

does ethan have any office

Probably not. Soft touch Charles ( Yes you are Charles) Does the daft thing because he's never got an vicaring to do.

Vinny Dingle and now Liv Dingle. Is everyone going to call themselves Dingle ?

[Perdita]

Probably not. Soft touch Charles ( Yes you are Charles) Does the daft thing because he's never got an vicaring to do.

Vinny Dingle and now Liv Dingle. Is everyone going to call themselves Dingle ?

Is it not Flaherty-Dingle for Liv and Vinny?

[Dennis tanner]

Is it not Flaherty-Dingle for Liv and Vinny?

Paddy Kirk, Vinny, Liv, Aaron. All people who have decided to call themslves Dingle

[Perdita]

Paddy Kirk, Vinny, Liv, Aaron. All people who have decided to call themslves Dingle

But Vinny and Liv really are kind of very very distant Dingles??7

[Dennis tanner]

But Vinny and Liv really are kind of very very distant Dingles??7

Not really. What next ? Eric Dingle, Bob Dingle, Bear Dingle ?

[Snagglepus]

Is Bob wearing a hairpiece?

[Perdita]

Is Bob wearing a hairpiece?

I think he just had a short cut?

[Snagglepus]

I think he just had a short cut?

The top looked a different colour to the sides.

[johntrevor]

The top looked a different colour to the sides.

Never seen a cut like that before, very weird. We thought he'd changed religion and was wearing a black skull cap.

[Son of Cain]

Never seen a cut like that before, very weird. We thought he'd changed religion and was wearing a black skull cap.

It does him no favours, makes his face look fatter.

[lizann]

ethan works in a firm, maybe he means farm as he is never in an office

[Dennis tanner]

Rhona now understands why she didn't confide in Marlon

Good decision to accept the money and give it to charity (Not Charity)

Who would have thought we would have wise words from Kirk.

Charles gets to met Evil.

Liv and Vinny. Just tell them please and get it over with.

[lizann]

samson would be better for her

[johntrevor]

ethan works in a firm, maybe he means farm as he is never in an office

Not really taken to him, seems out of place in a small rural village

[Dennis tanner]

I am not impressed with the Non vicar Charles. His visits to the evil Meena are just part of an ego trip

[Son of Cain]

I am not impressed with the Non vicar Charles. His visits to the evil Meena are just part of an ego trip

Pity Charles was not one of Meena's victims

[Perdita]

Pity Charles was not one of Meena's victims

While I do not want her to leave prison before a trial and sentenced to life wherever .. I would not mind her having one more victim...make that two.. Ethan too..

[Son of Cain]

While I do not want her to leave prison before a trial and sentenced to life wherever .. I would not mind her having one more victim...make that two.. Ethan too..

Oh Dear, Perdita - you are even more bloodthirsty than me. Ethan is too wet and inconsequential to have made enough of an impression on me, to annoy me enough to wish him dead, altho I would not be too upset if he joined her list of victims.

[Son of Cain]

The more I see of Charles, the more I think the villagers should get together and throw him of the bridge.

Perhaps, a Wicker Man Ceremony in The Village of the Damned?

To save time and wood.....use the pirate ship.

[lizann]

what builders are doing the pub?

[Dennis tanner]

what builders are doing the pub?

The cheapest quote.

[Perdita]

what builders are doing the pub?

Years ago it would have been the Dingles...but now they only repair cars

[Son of Cain]

Chas and Marlon lost the pub because it was not making money. So why on earth would Charity buy it and spend a lot of money making wheelchair friendly, and expect to make a profit, especially with someone like Mack as manager. I cannot remember seeing many disabled people in the village since Chris Tate. In theory, being set in the Yorkshire Dales, there should be a lot of passing trade from tourists, but we do not see many of them in the pub, just walking with their backpacks or cycling down the main street. More sensible for Charity to have stuck with the Haulage Company.

[Son of Cain]

To save time and wood.....use the pirate ship.

No! No! No! - Not the pirate ship - that's needed as a garden shed and anyway we need a proper Wicker Man so that Charles can look down at the villagers screaming and shaking their pitchforks at him as the flames raise higher.

[johntrevor]

I am not impressed with the Non vicar Charles. His visits to the evil Meena are just part of an ego trip

Totally agree. He needs to clear off and take his son with him.

[johntrevor]

While I do not want her to leave prison before a trial and sentenced to life wherever .. I would not mind her having one more victim...make that two.. Ethan too..

Yes please. Yes please. Yes please

[Snagglepus]

Didn't the pirate ship become an annex to the B&B?

The Equality Act 2010 requires businesses to make reasonable adjustments that give everyone equal access to their services. As the pub is now a new building it must now have wheelchair access in line with wheelchair regulations UK.

[Son of Cain]

Which makes it all the more puzzling why Charity would want to take it on, knowing she would have to spend money complying with this act, on top of the money she will need to make good the fire damage. There is no new supply of customers to fill the pub, and increase profits.

Does the Malt Shovel still exist?

[Dennis tanner]

Does the Malt Shovel still exist? Yes but ITV have closed it to customers.

I am not sure how much more a wheelchair ramp would cost when the pub needs rebuilding from scratch....since Covid-19 threw a spanner into the works none of the hospitality businesses have been busy, I also doubt that an Indian restaurant would survive without selling alcohol but then I have never come across a hostelry with no booze licence ever before. If you consider the amount of folk that live AND work in Emmerdale village, it is surprising how any of them make a living and I dare say, that goes to all other soaps. Yet instead of having coffee/tea or breakfast at home, they go to the local cafe... guess just something we need to accept as being normal

I suspect that watching people sitting at home drinking tea or coffee would not be good viewing. This applies to the other soaps as well

[Son of Cain]

[QUOTE=Perdita;974200]I am not sure how much more a wheelchair ramp would cost when the pub needs rebuilding from scratch....

Charity also said that work needed to be done to the doors and the toilets, she mention ?15,000, which I think was on top of the building work. Considering that Cain bumped up the price at the auction, this seems to contradict what we have always been told, that she is a good business woman.

Now it is possible we will see Chastity take over running the B&B to give her the two incomes need to buy a house. The B&B which I think only has about 3 or 4 rooms so how much could Eric afford to pay her?

[lizann]

no interest in chas charity war or meena manpreet war, why are the police bothering with meena who looks well for prison and many visits

[Son of Cain]

I think prisoners on remand are allowed more visits that those that have been sentenced

[Dennis tanner]

I think prisoners on remand are allowed more visits that those that have been sentenced

I would like to see Meena plead not guilty and get convicted of all offences. Then get a whole life sentence

[Son of Cain]

Are they changing Emmerdale from a Soap to a Sitcom, a not a very good sitcom at that. Comedy arguments between Charity and Chastity, Rhona's comedy mother, Meena's prison visits, not to forget Mandy's engagement for married Liv and Vinny . None of this bears much resemblance to reality. Meena's story should have ended with her going to trial, found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. For her to claim it was Manpreet who killed Andrea is a stretch too far. After all she kidnapped Dawn and Billy and shot Leyla, there is no arguing about that, so it is unlikely anyone would believe her latest claim. Has she been examined by a psychiatrist to determine her mental state?

[Son of Cain]

Not happy with the change of schedule to a direct clash with Eastenders.

[Dennis tanner]

Not happy with the change of schedule to a direct clash with Eastenders.

Tivo is my friend.

Mandy demonstrates why she was not invited to the wedding. Never the less they were very selfish.

Chastity v Charity......Ridiculous.

Police v Manpreet......Ridiculous

[Snagglepus]

Pollard to Charity - 'You've got a well worn front entrance and a loose back door.'

[Dennis tanner]

Emmerdale shows a farcical episode

chas is always miserable

[lizann]

harriet the copper vicaring on the side charles back up and wendy fake nurse also receptionist

[Dennis tanner]

Not really impressed with the latest offering. Does Mandy Dingle think she is a Pearly Queen ?

Why was Charity so keen to have a pub full of Dingles expecting free food and free drinks ?

[Son of Cain]

Oh Great, just what we needed, another food fight, been ages since we had one of these. Well - August 2021 to be exact. Have they no imagination. Would rather have seen The Woolpack shut for good if this is what happens when they have "Grand Reopening".

[Son of Cain]

Either that or Xena The Warrior Princess.

Apparently a lot of viewers loved the food fight... a typical Dingle fun thing ... I have never thought wasting food by chucking it about is a funny thing but we are all different. :D

[Dennis tanner]

Come on Charity. Just offer Chastity the managers job again. You know you want to.

[lizann]

I always think about the mess and the clearing up.

Not going to be the actors that will have to do that ...:p

[Son of Cain]

Maybe get a few of the Dingles pigs in for a feed.

[Son of Cain]

Will Mack be back? - Hope not.

Is the Glasgow Tourist Board sponsoring the show now?

[Dennis tanner]

Will Mack be back? - Hope not.

The pub manager is Chastity's job

why can't charity run her own pub

[Dennis tanner]

why can't charity run her own pub

She gets a bit bored with work.

Noah is being a total pratt.

Meanwhile Dawn wants Billy to adopt Lucas. Doesn't she understand that she would no longer be his legal parent. She hasn't thought this through.

Why would Dawn not be the legal parent of her son if Billy adopts him??? :hmm:

[lizann]

dawn should just grass up the real father not be stupid to sell his drugs

[Dennis tanner]

Why would Dawn not be the legal parent of her son if Billy adopts him??? :hmm:

When you adopt someone, you become the parent and the birth parents are no longer the parent.

The only legal way is for Dawn and Billy to adopt him, but ITV obviously don't know this.

[Snagglepus]

Does Marlon only have one tenant (Ryan) in his house now or has he moved into the pub.
Isn't his mate Paddy looking for somewhere to live with his family?
Where is Bear and Faith living?

[johntrevor]

Don't think that applies if you marry the birth mother. You and her become legal guardians

[lizann]

good on dawn grassing

[Dennis tanner]

Don't think that applies if you marry the birth mother. You and her become legal guardians

Yes it does apply.

[Son of Cain]

You know the UK Justice System is in a state, when prison officers ask prisoners if they are ready to go to court. Wondering what happens if they say "No".

[johntrevor]

[QUOTE=Dennis tanner;974690]Yes it does apply.[/Q

Not if the birth father gives his consent, and sometimes even if he doesn't according to Gov.uk

Adoption without your consent
A court can decide the adoption can go ahead without your consent if:

it thinks the child would be put at risk if they were not adopted - it will send you the evidence they have been given, for example from social services
you?re incapable of giving consent, for example due to a mental disability

[johntrevor]

[QUOTE=johntrevor;974722][QUOTE=Dennis tanner;974690]Yes it does apply.

OOPS

[johntrevor]

Yes it does apply.

Not if both birth parents agree it doesn't, and sometimes if the birth father doesn't agree according to .gov.uk

You totally miss the point. When you adopt a child, you become the legal guardian and the birth parents are no longer the parents. Dawn would need to adopt Lucas as well.

[Dennis tanner]

Manpreet needs to get a grip. She should be looking forward to giving evidence against the monster and she should enjoy it.

[lizann]

vanessa is a tease with charity

[Snagglepus]

That may be why Leanne has Simon in Corrie?

[Dennis tanner]

Is the non vicar Charles anti Police? Whenever the Police try to interview someone, he is always obstructive. Now he is trying to destroy the Prosecution case against a serial killer

[johntrevor]

You totally miss the point. When you adopt a child, you become the legal guardian and the birth parents are no longer the parents. Dawn would need to adopt Lucas as well.

Dawn is the birth mother on the birth certificate, she does not need to adopt anybody, only Billy is adopting now he has married Dawn, and that is permissible.

[Snagglepus]

From 'Adopting your step child.'
If granted, the adoption court order gives you parental responsibility for the child - along with your spouse or partner.
The order also takes away parental responsibility from the child?s other birth parent.

[Dennis tanner]

Dawn is the birth mother on the birth certificate, she does not need to adopt anybody, only Billy is adopting now he has married Dawn, and that is permissible.

If just Billy adopted Lucas he would be the parent and Dawn wouldn't.

[Ruffed_lemur]

Manpreet needs to get a grip. She should be looking forward to giving evidence against the monster and she should enjoy it.

If only it were that simple. I think the court should make special provisions for Manpreet, like they do for children. Anxiety and panic attacks are really awful, as Emmerdale has shown.

Rubbish, they become a normal family with normal responsibilities. One family one mother one father.

Paddy Kirk is usually a bumbling buffoon but now he's a selfish insensitive bumbling buffoon.

[Perdita]

I am suprised that both Rhona and Paddy seem to have no clue about Marlon's stroke recovery, animals too suffer from strokes and they can take a long time recovering and not always fully. My next door neighbour has a bull terrier who had a stroke, he is walking with a bit of a limp but is otherwise all good again.

The Police need to be told about Manpreet becoming flakey. They could then consider a subpoena

[Dennis tanner]

Paddy Kirk.. Bone idle fairweather friend

[Dennis tanner]

If Moira really wanted her brother to return she would tell him that Charity was desperate to speak to him.

I am fed up of Chastity complaining about Charity not pulling her weight in the pub. She needs to realise that they are no longer partners and SHE is the one who is being paid to manage the pub.

Is"Gender Reveal Cake" lady, Vanessa's new girl friend?

Don't know where she came from, when Vanessa reversed out of he drive the road was empty.
Was she collecting or delivering the Cake? If she was collecting it, who in the village is baking cakes. If she was delivering it, did she just get in her car and forget about the whole idea, when she dropped it on the road.

I still think that Charity prefers Vanessa to Mackenzie.

Will Chastity remain as Manager or will she leave in a huff

[johntrevor]

Don't know what the scriptwriters are doing with Moira. Moralising with Charity about her sex life is a bit rich after what Moira did with her son in law Nate. Also Moira dumping Charity miles from anywhere without money or phone, after she had given Cain a serious rollicking for doing the very same thing to Ellis. Strange.

[Snagglepus]

Why has Kim never bothered to check on how her grandaughter Millie is doing, she makes it her business to know everyone else's but has never had her spies checking out Andrea's mum.

The Wonderful Mackenzie deserves so much better than Charity!!

It wasn't long ago she was desperate to not give up on Vanessa and now suddenly Mack is "The One" ???

We'll see if she still feels the same way if Vanessa and GR Cake Lady hit it off...

The Wonderful Mackenzie deserves so much better than Charity!!

It wasn't long ago she was desperate to not give up on Vanessa and now suddenly Mack is "The One" ???

We'll see if she still feels the same way if Vanessa and GR Cake Lady hit it off...

MacKenzie may deserve better than Charity, not sure he is wonderful though, personally I think he is a scumbag. They are writing Charity now, as if she is just desperate to be in a relationship, and either Vanessa or MacKenzie will do. Maybe my memory is playing tricks, but I am sure that in the past she was much more independent and self sufficient, and much less needy. Her attitude use to be to "use and abuse" men. I never really bought in to her relationship with Vanessa, feeling it was written for shock value, and the fact they could not think of anything else to do with her .

I prefer Mackenzie as he is now, more like he was when he first arrived a bit of a Jack the Lad, instead of the love sick puppy act of woe is me my girlfriend's a lezzy.

I do not understand why Wendy is so worried about testifying in court. She is only being called as a character witness, all she needs to say is, that although she worked with Meena, she did not know her well in her personal life. After all we are talking about a woman, who was married to a violent criminal, who worked for years as a nurse even though she she did did not complete her registration. So if she managed to cope in these circumstances, she should be able to cope with going to court. Drama where there really is none.

Her evidence should be that she was OK when she actually turned up for work. Otherwise she had to cover for her.

Possibly but why would he want her to escape when he wouldn't be able to see her any more ?

Charles does speak a load of crap. Meena is going to be on trial for the murder of the woman he loved and he has been trying to persuade the key witnerss not to give evidence

Advice for Manpreet. You will only be letting people down if you don't get in that witness box.

Very predictable episode, Liam losing it and and Manpreet will have a breakdown when she is giving evidence. I am looking forward to the outcome though, there must be an unexpected twist to come yet to give us the right outcome for Meena's actions.

[Perdita]

Will Meena wanting to stand up in court be her downfall? Will she say things that suddenly contradict previous statements or will she suddenly admit to all of her crimes just to make the headlines? :hmm:

She does not know she is insane/schizophrenic, a doctor would need to diagnose her with those conditions ....

[Son of Cain]

In the real world I question whether Meena would be considered competent to stand trial. Even if she does not know she has mental health problems she could still could still choose insanity as a plea, and fake the symptoms, although she really has a condition. Has she been accessed by a psychiatrist to determine her mental state? It is fairly obvious that there is something not quite right about her. I think she would be consdered unfit to stand trial, and would be sectioned and sent to a high security psychiatric hospital. Although if she did plead insanity she would still be sectioned and end up in a secure unit. Either way it would be an alternative to prison, unless of course she is found not guilty.

I've got a feeling that is exactly what will happen, I think she will loose it, thinking no one is taking her seriously and start bragging about how good she was at killing people and hiding it. Hoisted by her own petard. Let's hope so.

I can't see Meena agreeing to plead insanity as that would probably take away the feeling of triumph she
has had and is still having. But maybe she will get sectioned after standing trial and ends up in a secure psychiatic hospital which is where she should be to get the help she clearly needs.

is what meena done to leyla vinny billy harriet and dawn not taken into account for the murders yet wendy is called as a character witness for meena what about against

It is compulsory in every soap trial for someone to kick off in the gallery causing the judge to warn them and then kick them out.

We have had a 3 murders trial lasting 3/4 days of edited highlights. None of barristers seem to be assisted by 'juniors'

We have had Meena smirking throughout.

It might just be me but it always seemed that Meena was absent or late for work. Wendy never seemed to notice this.

Criminal trials in soapland are always a farce...

[Dennis tanner]

Criminal trials in soapland are always a farce...

Very True. I should know better by now.

[Son of Cain]

Criminal trials in soapland are always a farce...

I think when you are asked a question in the witness box you are simply supposed to answer the question and nothing more. But in Soap trials we constantly see witnesses going on to explain or justify their answers, often going on the making long rambling speeches. Just would not happen.

The judge was a bit theatrical when he threw Leyla out.

[Son of Cain]

I can't see Meena agreeing to plead insanity as that would probably take away the feeling of triumph she
has had and is still having. But maybe she will get sectioned after standing trial and ends up in a secure psychiatic hospital which is where she should be to get the help she clearly needs.

Altho she did not plead insanity, she did claim she was suffering from mental health problems, due to being unaware of what she was doing. Which, to my mind, raises the question of whether she is fit to go on trial.

[Son of Cain]

I think she only said that as an excuse ...

She probably did, but now the question has been raised, surely she should be assessed now, otherwise it could be grounds for an appeal later if she is found guilty.

I have a feeling she may get off on some charges if not all. I still feel officer Ian Beaker has a bigger part to play in a possible escape bid. Surely they will want to drag a bit more drama out before this story ends.

[Snagglepus]

Meena needs to be killed off to prevent any possible return.
Her prison guard doesn't look to be a full shilling, maybe he will kill her if he finds she's been playing him.

[Dennis tanner]

Neither did the jury. I bet they were wondering why it took them so long to find her guilty.

How come it took the armed response team that long to get to the courtyard?
A childish script right to the end, well I hope that was the end.

[alan45]

what a pile of complete ****e, where was leyla, manpreet could have tried to throw over the dock, where was vinny



That has to be the worst episode ever of Emmerdale. Female prisoner brought to Court by a male officer - who was going to search her? Just her pet prison officer in court - no police - no security. NO SENSE

Meena escapes from the Dock into what is supposed to be a custody area which was strangely deserted. The Pantomime Police give her a ten minute head start before pursuing her, Followed the trail she had left.

Absolute total anticlimax. Where were the CID officers who investigated her crime. One would have expected at least one of them to be present for the trial and certainly the verdict. Total keek

[Dennis tanner]

Why does Belle think that she needs to give Al half her business ?

[Son of Cain]

Anyone here find the "Court Room Terror" scenes of "Violent Threat and Distress" upsetting? Surely they meant to say "Funny". As a comedy "Carry on Courtroom" really hit the mark. So many contrived situations. Did the court really wait for Liam and co to get back before reading the verdicts? Why did Manpreet not escape from the dock when Meena let go of her and turned away? Why were the armed police so far behind in the chase? Did Ian lock the door to the courtyard after after they went out?

Completely agree so many unanswered questions. but I partly thought it would end somehow like that, with Meena blurting everything out, after all it is Emmerdale, and the police acted as normal, probably had a break and a sandwich on the way down to find Meena

I think Meena has killed too many people already.

I was very disappointed with the judge. He did not formally clarify that the sentences were consecutive and he did not sentence her for the crimes she had admitted at an earlier hearing.

[Son of Cain]

Do we know what happened to officer Ian Breaker? - Will we ever know?

[Son of Cain]

Are we meant to believe that Meena murdered people just because she craved attention. The cell she was given seemed to be larger than normal, only time I have seen one where the bed was not against the wall. The bed looked like a large single, not the usual bunk bed.

[Son of Cain]

They are certainly spending money on Liam's allotment, all those brand new railway sleepers, that are certainly not cheap, and what looks like a truck load of gravel. Did he not build a DIY greenhouse out of old plastic bottles, when he started, there seems no sight of it now.

[alan45]

Amazing that when Meanie appeared in the Dock for sentencing she was accompanied by just one male officer. This is a woman who had on her previous visit attempted escape, held people hostage and threatened murder.

Why was she not sentenced for any of the other offences??

[johntrevor]

I think Meena has killed too many people already.

True, but unfortunately all the wrong ones.

I have always supposed that "The Hop" is "The Hawksford Outdoor Pursuit Centre" where people, that we never see, do things, we never see, like mountain, biking, kayaking, swinging about in trees and maybe badly organized boot camping. "The Hide" is the on site bistro/cafe where only villagers go to drink coffee and chat, if they don't want Brenda eavesdropping. Both are supposed to earn money for Kim, although I seriously doubt they do.
