Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[Dennis tanner]

jai blamed for leylas drugs

ethan work review but never seems to go in and now moved in to marlons house

He's a soap solicitor

[Dennis tanner]

Marlon needs to go back to Hospital. The Emmerdale ward has been paid for and needs to be used.

[Dennis tanner]

How can a prisoner have a confidental chat with their legal rep when there is an officer standing in the room ?

Jai needs to give up on Laurel.

[Son of Cain]

Jai needs to give up on Laurel.

Jai would be better off away from her. The "Lovely Laurel" is not always as nice as people think. She will never really trust him and will always be waiting for him to mess up.

[Dennis tanner]

We know that Charles is in the wrong job and now Ethan appears to have problems as well.
Perhaps he should stick to non criminal cases.

Billy should know by now that people are entitled to solicitors but he was right when he intimated that the defendant only wanted a black solicitor in order to help him with the racist allegations.

Kirk the vet goes AWOL again.

Dead right, everybody is entitled to a defence solicitor, no matter what they have done. but it's obvious that the guy wants Ethan so he can say, how can I be racist I've got a black solicitor.

[Perdita]

HOw did he know though that his duty solicitor was a black guy??

[Dennis tanner]

HOw did he know though that his duty solicitor was a black guy??

He didn't untill he saw him but then insisted that Ethan continue to represent him even when Ethan offered to drop out because he knew the victim.

[lizann]

i was under the impression that when ethan worked it was a big prestige firm not legal aid duty solicitor work

[Dennis tanner]

i was under the impression that when ethan worked it was a big prestige firm not legal aid duty solicitor work

All firms that do criminal cases will do some legal aid work

[johntrevor]

He didn't untill he saw him but then insisted that Ethan continue to represent him even when Ethan offered to drop out because he knew the victim.

Yes you're correct. As I recall when Ethan said he didn't think he could represent him because he knew the victim, and he needed a different solicitor the guy emphatically replied "no I want you". Pretty obvious why.

[Dennis tanner]

Could anyone do a worst job than Mary looking after Marlon ?

[Snagglepus]

Dead right, everybody is entitled to a defence solicitor, no matter what they have done. but it's obvious that the guy wants Ethan so he can say, how can I be racist I've got a black solicitor.

I think it is the script writers that have engineered it to be this way to make a story for boring Ethan.

[Dennis tanner]

Does Ethan think that he is supposed to win every case he is involved in ?

[Perdita]

Does Ethan think that he is supposed to win every case he is involved in ?

Doesn't every lawyer??

[Dennis tanner]

Doesn't every lawyer??

I don't think so. The most important thing for most of them is getting paid and getting more work.

[Perdita]

I don't think so. The most important thing for most of them is getting paid and getting more work.

But the more you win, the better reputation you get and therefore more clients and then more work and money....

[Dennis tanner]

But the more you win, the better reputation you get and therefore more clients and then more work and money....

The CPS don't prosecute unless they think they are hot favourites for a conviction.

[johntrevor]

I can't believe they have turned Leyla into a junkie. What next? Charles performing an exorcism on Cain, Al doing an unselfish act, Sam Dingle uttering a coherent sentence, Eco warriors super gluing their heads to Tate Haulage waggons, A mass murderer romping through the village killing the locals? Oh wait they already did that one.

I blame that Suzy. I knew from the start that she was a wrong un.

[lizann]

The Dingles have never accepted that it's Liv's house.

nate and chloe are "adults" even cain and vanessa had relationships with young ones

[Dennis tanner]

nate and chloe are "adults" even cain and vanessa had relationships with young ones

I feel obliged to say that I have no interest in Nate or Chloe.

[lizann]

I feel obliged to say that I have no interest in Nate or Chloe.

me either but hate hypocrites especially vanessa

[Son of Cain]

What ever happened to Faith's hearse? Did the undertaker get it back , or is it parked up somewhere in the village? Or has it just been forgotten about?

[Son of Cain]

I do hope these flash forward special effects are not fore telling another "Special Week" like "Survival Week". Already the writing is getting weak. Suzy telling Callum she already had her 'weeks shopping' then telling Leyla she had got some coke from Callum.

[Son of Cain]

Is the allotment just for Liam or can anyone use it? Faith did not seem to ask Liam if she could plant beetroot, or Dan pansies.
Kyle wanting to plant turnips, I struggle to believe any child would choose to plant turnips. Not a vegetable we see much off nowadays.
I wish they would consult a gardening expert if they are going to do gardening stories. No one would plant turnips in the same bed as rhubarb, the rhubarb leaves would completely cover over the turnips as they grow. Looked like they had planted a whole bed full of rhubarb one patch is usually enough for most people.

I thought the allotment is for the community ...

Very true....Glad you didn't mention Jacob and Maya....lol

[Dennis tanner]

It's being used by George and Todd.

[johntrevor]

I thought the allotment is for the community ...

Yes it was a community allotment in memory of Leanne

[Dennis tanner]

Yes it was a community allotment in memory of Leanne

I would imagine that all residents would have their own gardens

[lizann]

i thought the church owned the allotment then liam set up for leanna but now a popular place for all type of action

[Dennis tanner]

I don't think the church actually owns the church.

[Perdita]

Who is looking after Princess?

[Dennis tanner]

Eventually it occurs to Dim Jacob that Noah is the guilty party.

[lizann]

Who is looking after Princess?

did wendy keep the dog

[Son of Cain]

Kim going to look at six wedding venues? Aren't Home Farm and The Hop used as wedding venues?

[Snagglepus]

It was most probably Matt Skilbeck that Nate saw up in Top Field, he's still mending that dry stone wall.

[Dennis tanner]

Kim going to look at six wedding venues? Aren't Home Farm and The Hop used as wedding venues?

Let's go to the hop
Let's go to the hop (oh baby)
Let's go to the hop (oh baby)
Let's go to the hop
Come on, let's go to the hop
Well, you can swing it you can groove it
You can really start to move it at the hop
Where the jockey is the smoothest
And the music is the coolest at the hop
All the cats and the chicks can get their kicks at the hop

[Dennis tanner]

Porr Charity is ashamed that Noah is the Village Perve

[Son of Cain]

Let's go to the hop
Let's go to the hop (oh baby)
Let's go to the hop (oh baby)
Let's go to the hop
Come on, let's go to the hop
Well, you can swing it you can groove it
You can really start to move it at the hop
Where the jockey is the smoothest
And the music is the coolest at the hop
All the cats and the chicks can get their kicks at the hop

Every time they show scenes at The HOP, I will hear this song in my head.

[Son of Cain]

It was most probably Matt Skilbeck that Nate saw up in Top Field, he's still mending that dry stone wall.

There are times when I long for the return of Matt and Joe. - No murders, no fires, no car crashes, ne bootcamps and no Kim lording it over everyone. - Just lambing, sick cows, dry stone walling and Annie in the kitchen.

Yes the good old days with Amos serving pints and and Mr Wilkes running the Woolpack.

[Son of Cain]

Yes the good old days with Amos serving pints and and Mr Wilkes running the Woolpack.

Ah yes, Amos poaching was about as criminal as it got. - The Woolpack was much busier then, no need for investment from the likes of Al

[johntrevor]

Dead right they really were the best days of Emmerdale Farm (as it was then}

[Ruffed_lemur]

Not watched any Emmerdale this week yet. Too soon for all this " excitement " after Meena.

[lizann]

what a crap week, chloe should just go away, noah needs to join the army respect females, cain and al still bickering over, paranoid gun toting gabby

[lizann]

al saves cain from a car smash that left him and chas not seriously injured or bruised and scratched

[Dennis tanner]

That was crap driving Cain. I thought he was catching Al up. How did he miss him going into that field ?

Gabby Thomas acts very entitled. Liam should have followed the normal procedure and told the Police.

David has never punished Jacob but is quick to want Noah punished.

[lizann]

noah did wrong but none of david's business

[Dennis tanner]

noah did wrong but none of david's business

Noah allowed his precious Jacob to get the blame

[Son of Cain]

Evil Kerry returns to push Noah into an open grave. Kerry and Amy, those bastions of law and order and justice, have obviously got over and forgotten about causing Frank's death. Don't remember them being so keen to go to the police.

Surely Moira should know better than to discuss any family secrets in the cafe when Brenda is about.

Having Harriet in uniform and no Swirling is very very disappointing.

Particularly when she helped cover up the killing of Malone, although he was no great loss

when will malones body or is it burnt, resurface

[Dennis tanner]

when will malones body or is it burnt, resurface

If they dig up the Hotton by pass.

[Son of Cain]

when will malones body or is it burnt, resurface

Think Kim had it disposed off, so I do not think it can 'resurface.

[Son of Cain]

Particularly when she helped cover up the killing of Malone, although he was no great loss

She seems to have got over all those feelings of guilt now.

This was only possible because the shot missed him.

Not quite, Dr Liam saw to him...

and declined to send him to hospital because he knew he wasn't injured.

[lizann]

he was saving gabby not will

[Dennis tanner]

he was saving gabby not will

OK, I will cease my speculation. Gabby did actually shoot Will.

gabby did shoot will but liam didn't report it, fixed him up at home farm all for gabby

Manpreet was in the games

yes meant vicar charles

[Dennis tanner]

yes meant vicar charles

Is he still a vicar? I have not seen much vicaring

[Dennis tanner]

Suzy relectantly reveals to Vanessa that she knew Holly Barton. Suzy admits that she has a dark past. Vanessa knows that Holly died as a result of taking illegal drugs.

Vanessa is unable to put 2 and 2 together.

[Son of Cain]

Did Faith steal the money from the pub, to pay off Lydia's debt? I do not believe she had any saving, otherwise why would she sleep in the back of the hearse for weeks?

[Son of Cain]

Free electricity in the woods? Did David bring a ladder with him to put up the Chinese lanterns?

[Dennis tanner]

Solar lights ;) Maybe he drank a Red Bull to give him wings :lol:

[Son of Cain]

Solar lights ;) Maybe he drank a Red Bull to give him wings :lol:

I did think about solar lights, but then he would need to carry a solar panel to the woods. Are all these things David sells in his shop or did he buy them specially for the occasion? - Stilts?

[Son of Cain]

I long for the day when the truth comes out about Kerry and Amy causing Frank's death. When Amy told Noah "nobody will want anything to do with you after this", I wonder if people would want anything to do with her and her mum, if they knew the truth about Frank. I would love to see the smile wiped off her faux cheerful, smug, hypocritical face.

Yes, a bit rich Amy and Kerry moralising with Noah about doing the "right thing", when they most definitely didn't.
What short convenient memories they have

Perhaps the scriptwriters don't know about it.

Too many characters annoying me at the moment. David, Victoria, Charles, Ethan, Amy, Karry, Amelia, Leyla. I am talking about you.

Mandy. I am not including you because you seem to have disappeared.

Why cant they all be like that nice Wendy.

[Son of Cain]

I think you might be right about the scriptwriters. I sometimes think they forget about characters past crimes. So many commit nasty crimes and suffer no consequences, because they are still under contract.

[lizann]

vinny running the scrap yard alone

debbie involved in gennie's death and aciding ross yet the dingles on her side, zack returns to give noah some words

[Dennis tanner]

When Moira, Faith and Wendy were interrogated by Paddy Kirk, why didn't they just tell him to burger off and do his job ?

[lizann]

chas thinking moira jumping nate again

[johntrevor]

chas thinking moira jumping nate again

Not sure why Chas would think that, as it was Nate that told Chas in the Woolpack that something was going on with Moira and Faith.
Does Chas seriously think that Nate would implicate himself.

[lizann]

this is chas she probably thinks faith knows and is covering

[Dennis tanner]

this is chas she probably thinks faith knows and is covering

But why would Faith protect Moira is she is cheating on her favourite son.

[Son of Cain]

Why did Moira just not tell Chas that she spilt a cup of tea on herself. It's a perfectly normal thing to have happened. She even had her tea soaked top in her hand. Contrived over complicated situation or what?

[Son of Cain]

David suddenly hard up? - After spending goodness how much last week on Chinese lanterns and fairy lights.

[Son of Cain]

Leyla and Liam keep their shower gel in the living room?

[Dennis tanner]

David suddenly hard up? - After spending goodness how much last week on Chinese lanterns and fairy lights.

Why doesn't the daft shopkeeper just tell everyone the truth.

Why doesn't Faith stop messing about ?

Why are Sam and Vinny so ridiculous? Poor Lydia

[Son of Cain]

In all my life I have never managed to strike a match, and drop it into something I was trying to set alight.

[Dennis tanner]

Even now David refuses to tell Jacob that he cannot afford to pay for accomodation with his Uni chums. Perhaps his real mother could help. The one who is married to a doctor who earns about ?100K a year

[lizann]

Even now David refuses to tell Jacob that he cannot afford to pay for accomodation with his Uni chums. Perhaps his real mother could help. The one who is married to a doctor who earns about ?100K a year

or his real forgotten father justin and other mother alicia

jacob could also get a job, take over from noah with eric

[johntrevor]

She'll be spending all her money on drugs when she uses the telephone number she got from Jai

[Perdita]

Where is Manpreet? Does she still live in Emmerdale? Does she still work at the surgery? :hmm:

[Dennis tanner]

Where is Manpreet? Does she still live in Emmerdale? Does she still work at the surgery? :hmm:

It could be that she does the surgery work while Liam does the allotment

[Snagglepus]

Where is Manpreet? Does she still live in Emmerdale? Does she still work at the surgery? :hmm:

Have we seen her since she came back from the short holiday with Charles?
Didn't Charles tell Ethan when he was in hospital that they were on their way back?
Maybe they got caught up in the delayed flights saga.

[johntrevor]

Where is Manpreet? Does she still live in Emmerdale? Does she still work at the surgery? :hmm:

I thought Charles said she was still in Ibiza, when he came back to support Ethan

[Dennis tanner]

I know Brenda is a busybody but people are very rude to her. Is Ethan Emmerdale's most boring character ?

Poor Eric. He has a son who is thick and ungrateful

Poor Liam. He has a wife who is out of control. Incidently, how did that drug dealer know she wasn't a Police officer ?

[Snagglepus]

Incidently, how did that drug dealer know she wasn't a Police officer ?

It's because she said her name was Lola and he knew there was no one with the name of Lola working in Hotton police station.

[Dennis tanner]

It's because she said her name was Lola and he knew there was no one with the name of Lola working in Hotton police station.

I forgot that undercover officers always use their real names

I hope he doesn't get used less because of Harriet

[Son of Cain]

Not finding Leyla's accelerated descent into drug dependency very real or believable. She seemed to start taking it off camera on nights out with Suzie, so she was not taking it regularly every day. As I understand it, cocaine addiction, unless it is crack cocaine, is a psychological addiction rather than a physical one, like heroin. Since she was getting the cocaine from Suzie it is unlikely that she would give Leyla enough free cocaine to become addicted. Withdrawal from cocaine can produce strong cravings for more, but the amount of use we have seen with Leyla she should be able to stop, if she is strong willed enough. Her behavior does not seem to show someone addicted enough, to risk meeting strange men in remote laybys

Will it be rehab or instant cure ?

If she goes to Hotton General she'll come out after a couple of hours beaming and looking like she's been on holiday for a month, and ready to get stuck into her workload.

[Dennis tanner]

If she goes to Hotton General she'll come out after a couple of hours beaming and looking like she's been on holiday for a month, and ready to get stuck into her workload.

Yes. Her workload. Is everyone in Hotton district incapable of arranging their own wedding ?

[Dennis tanner]

I hate it when Judges say that they have no choice. Of course they have a choice.

What on earth did Chloe put in her statement ?

[johntrevor]

What on earth did Chloe put in her statement?

It only needed to be the truth to see him banged up

[Dennis tanner]

It only needed to be the truth to see him banged up

The truth is that he made a full and frank confession. He made an early plea of guilty and has apologised to the victim.

[lizann]

i know noah did wrong but everyone was down on him, no cain or debbie for support, far worse have got off free

[Son of Cain]

i know noah did wrong but everyone was down on him, no cain or debbie for support, far worse have got off free

I have to admit to feeling a bit sorry for Noah. His real crime was "Immaturity", Amy and Kerry both got away with manslaughter, and now self entitled Kerry is moaning and feeling hard done by because she has lost her job at the shop.

[Ruffed_lemur]

The truth is that he made a full and frank confession. He made an early plea of guilty and has apologised to the victim.

Maybe this shortened his sentence. I agree with the judge that his victim will probably suffer for the rest of her life because of his actions.

[Perdita]

Maybe this shortened his sentence. I agree with the judge that his victim will probably suffer for the rest of her life because of his actions.

So will he, I think...

[Son of Cain]

Does Debbie own the house that Charity lives In?

[johntrevor]

The truth is that he made a full and frank confession. He made an early plea of guilty and has apologised to the victim.

As the judge said he also committed house breaking and attacked her holding her down on the floor, which is common assault, which was the reason for the custodial sentence.

[Dennis tanner]

Maybe this shortened his sentence. I agree with the judge that his victim will probably suffer for the rest of her life because of his actions.

Based on what I have seen of her since Noah was arrested, I disagree with the judge.

[Ruffed_lemur]

So will he, I think...

Possibly, but what he did was his choice. There is just too much of this about!

[Perdita]

Possibly, but what he did was his choice. There is just too much of this about!

Yes, it was his choice but then he never had a father/son talk like Sam had with Samson... showing the girls respect and if they say NO, then that means NO...

[Dennis tanner]

Who cuts the grass on that field next to the pavillion and why ?

[Ruffed_lemur]

Yes, it was his choice but then he never had a father/son talk like Sam had with Samson... showing the girls respect and if they say NO, then that means NO...

I don't know many who do have that father/son talk tbh. It's not a good excuse really. Showing girls respect or anyone for that matter, should come naturally, but sadly it doesn't.

[Dennis tanner]

Noah doesn't even respect his mom.

[Son of Cain]

Noah doesn't even respect his mom.

The number of times she let him down, does she deserve his respect?

[Dennis tanner]

The number of times she let him down, does she deserve his respect?

On this occasion he has let her down.

[Son of Cain]

When Kim said "if Jamie was here, he would have come back and taken Millie", did it not occur to her that he could get Millie from his mum. Especially the way his mum and Millie were behaving when they came to the village.

[johntrevor]

Well he already has Millie, we the viewers know he is living with Millie and Andrea's mother at their house. It just appears they have moved to a different location now, following the Dawn and Gabby visit.

[lizann]

im surprised that andrea's mother is helping jamie given how he treated andrea

[johntrevor]

im surprised that andrea's mother is helping jamie given how he treated andrea

Yes me as well I would have thought she would have disowned him at the least, he treated Andrea appallingly.

[Perdita]

im surprised that andrea's mother is helping jamie given how he treated andrea

She gets to bring up Millie

[lizann]

She gets to bring up Millie

i got the impression she didn't want millie full time so is it money from jamie keeping her sweet

[Son of Cain]

Well he already has Millie, we the viewers know he is living with Millie and Andrea's mother at their house. It just appears they have moved to a different location now, following the Dawn and Gabby visit.

In my post I said "his mum" when I meant to say "Andrea's mum" so my post made no sense. I still do not understand why someone who is suppose to be as clever is Kim would not realize this.

[Son of Cain]

Yes me as well I would have thought she would have disowned him at the least, he treated Andrea appallingly.

Did she know he treated Andrea so appallingly?

[lizann]

Did she know he treated Andrea so appallingly?

they were separated getting divorced not amicable so id say andrea would have told her mother as the mother was not found of kim either

[johntrevor]

Did she know he treated Andrea so appallingly?

Well he had a new girlfriend in Dawn for a while, then another girlfriend in Gabby, and made her pregnant, then tried to get back with Dawn again, so I'm pretty sure that Andrea would have told her mother some of this at least.

[Dennis tanner]

Did she know he treated Andrea so appallingly?

He would have told her it was fake news

[lizann]

andrea and millie did go stay with her mother

[Dennis tanner]

The three ladies in that bar. What was all that about ?

All things considered, it's Rhona's father I feel sorry for.

So do I - he's dead.

[johntrevor]

So do I - he's dead.

lol nice one

[lizann]

ah bear dropped his buns as he thought he had a chance with mary

[Dennis tanner]

lol nice one

Why would you think that being dead is funny ?

[Dennis tanner]

Mary was wrong when she said that it was illegal to be a lesbian, Very poor writing.

[johntrevor]

Why would you think that being dead is funny ?

I didn't say any such thing.
I was laughing at the ironic comment of the other poster, did you really not get that.

[Dennis tanner]

I didn't say any such thing.

Why did you think I was being serious ? I wasn't.

[Snagglepus]

When Rhona said to her mum that she was usually up the crack of Dawn I wondered if Billy knew what was going on.

Normally I do not like the character, Sarah, as I think she usually acts like a brat, but in this case she seems to be the most mature member of the family. Cain, is behaving like a toddler who cannot get his own way, and is lying on his back, kicking his legs in the air, having a tantrum. He is becoming very boring.

Quite agree. when he was a jack the lad getting up to all kinds of mischief he was at his best, now just a shadow of that, now he doesn't seem to have a decent bone in his body and seems to hate everybody, including himself, come on scriptwriters give us back the old Cain.

I have never rated Sarah very highly on the Bratscale. I find Cain to be a better person than he was 10 years or so ago.

Does not seem to be helping her much - lying to her husband and friends, blackmail, and pushing everyone away. Bringing out the worst of her. I know it must seem simplistic and unsympathetic of me, but she could look on the bright side of things and realize she survived her ordeal with Meena.

I agree with you totally.

The other person who really annoys me as David. He is supposed to be in a serious relationship with Victoria but he is unable to be honest with her. Hopeless relationship. Well done Brenda. Keep your money.

Chastity should not feel guilty because all the time she was kissing Al she was imagining she was with Paddy.

I agree, I do find it strange though that Suzy, after many years of using it, meets Vanessa and does not seem to have a problem at all to stop using it. Guess they are trying to demonstrate that different people are different addicts.

Cocaine is not a physically addictive drug, like heroin, the addiction is psychological. As johntrevor says Suzi seemed to use it socially, probably on nights out, whereas Leyla is now using it just to get through the day. Taking cocaine makes it difficult to sleep, or at least to get restful sleep, so that you wake up in morning feeling tired and hungover, taking more cocaine helps to make you feel up again, starting a vicious circle. I had a neighbour who was a major coke dealer who used large quantities of the drug himself. But he could stop at any time when he felt it was getting much, and he needed to get some good sleep, there was no signs of physical addiction. Leyla could do the same if she wanted too, and had the will power to do so. I am not sure where she is finding the money to fund this habit, although she is an event and wedding organizer, we not really see much evidence of this, only talk. Would Priya not notice if she was taking money from the business?

[Son of Cain]

If Liam says she's a doctor, she's a doctor

She is not even a FULLY qualified nurse.

[Son of Cain]

If ?5,000 is not enough to pay off David's debt, he should shut up shop now. As he only seems to have about a dozen customers, he is never going to earn enough to clear them. I am surprized he has lasted this long, probably only because villagers have not yet realized the existence of supermarkets.

Even if David clears all his debts, it does not address the reason he got into debt in the first place. Presumably this is because he not selling enough goods. Mostly he seems to rely on people buying milk, alcohol, snacks and nibbles. Even Emmerdale residents probably do their big shops at a supermarket. How long before he is in debt again, Victoria will just be throwing good money after bad.

This is not what Al wants. He likes to call the shots. Does he really think that Chastity is more attractive then Kerry or does he just want to control her. I can't see Al ever being in love with anyone

She was right to take Clemmie out of that house but then should have immediately called the police or social services, not her responsibility to take care of her. She has enough problems herself and this might endanger her relationship with social services now regarding Lucas. Harriet did the right thing.

Since Dennis has posted here I am guessing I am not the only one who has lost the recent discussion pages.

[Son of Cain]

Bit insensitive of Vanessa to walk into Leyla's when she was discussing Kim's wedding, and butt into the conversation to talk about Rhona's wedding.

If Leyla forgot to add the attachment to Kim's email, surely it would still be in her laptop, a few clicks of the mouse, and problem solved.

Where is Leyla getting all this money for coke and to pay for Jake's flat with a swimming pool in the basement. Rhona is not rich especially now that Marlon has had a stroke, and she never actually seems to have that many other clients that we see.

Does working in a cafe turn you into a busybody, Lydia turning into Brenda and Amy also offering her unwanted opinions to Amelia and Dan.
