Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[Dennis tanner]

this corey chap and the office looks dodgy as hell, looks like a drug dealer

Nate to Corey, " I need a job. I'll do anything but acting. I can't do acting "

[Dennis tanner]

MacKenzie gets a job with Cain leaving Nate to work on the farm full time but this doesn't appear to have occured to him.

How many more men in the village are secret mechanics ???

[lizann]

chas couldn't even show up for liv despite being cause of her out in the storm which caused her death

[lizann]

what did nate do before moira sorry farming

[Perdita]

what did nate do before moira sorry farming

I do not think we were ever told .. but looks like he is a farmhand as luck would have it :D

[Son of Cain]

Rishi - Death by stairs - a while since we have had one of those, used to be a Soap staple.

[Dennis tanner]

Rishi - Death by stairs - a while since we have had one of those, used to be a Soap staple.

Jai needs to understand that you hire an undertakers because they undertake to sort everthing out.

Nate is too thick to make a success of anything.

Dan is desperate but his daughter is not talking to him.

[lizann]

so robert dan and belle all caused same killings or was Wendy's other son the real killer of his brother

[Perdita]

so robert dan and belle all caused same killings or was Wendy's other son the real killer of his brother

Robert killed him, attacked him from behind, Lee was in a coma for a while and then suffered a haemorrhage which killed him. Robert got sentenced to 14 years in prison,

[lizann]

did luke and lee also fight the same day, he confessed to wendy?

[Perdita]

did luke and lee also fight the same day, he confessed to wendy?

Luke confessed to it, yes, Lee beat him up because he is gay. But that was before Robert and Lee fought.

[lizann]

Luke confessed to it, yes, Lee beat him up because he is gay. But that was before Robert and Lee fought.

same day fought but luke and wendy kept quiet, does victoria or aaron know?

[Snagglepus]

same day fought but luke and wendy kept quiet, does victoria or aaron know?

I'm sure it was put to Robert but he wants to stay where he is.
Maybe he has a new partner.

[Dennis tanner]

Laurel going to India was never going to be a sensible idea.

Desperate Dan to go on the run !!!!

[lizann]

jacob will be head trauma surgeon before the year ends

[Dennis tanner]

jacob will be head trauma surgeon before the year ends

I doubt it as most of his time will be spent on the allotment

[lizann]

suni wasn't thinking correct and respectful, a pride party when rishi just died

[Dennis tanner]

suni wasn't thinking correct and respectful, a pride party when rishi just died

Couldn't even wait for Jai to leave the country.

[Son of Cain]

Surely this "Luxury Taxi Service" that Caleb is running is more than just that, there must be something dodgy going on, which is why he was reluctant to give Nate a job.

[Son of Cain]

Why would Laurel take her suitcase from the taxi and pay it off when she got to Colin's house. It should only have taken a few minutes to collect the passport, if Colin was at home. It he was not she would have to call another taxi and wait for it to arrive.

Colin said he had been fired from his job as a councillor, being a councillor is not a job it is an elected position, for which they can claim expenses but do not get paid a salary.

Another poorly written contrived situation.

All true.

Laurel is a fool. She should have told them to go on holiday to Blackpool.

I thought that was very strange that Laurel let the taxi go.

Wouldn't it have been easier if Marshall simply ordered a replacement passport?

[Dennis tanner]

Expecting Colin to co-operate was very silly.

It's sadly the same with all soaps. Some luvvie thinks up an outlandish storyline in some upmarket wine-bar over lunch. Realism doesn't enter into the equation nor do they think of a realistic outcome.

In Dan's case real police would never have taken him to court so soon especially when the victim was at deaths door in a coma. They would have waited until they had a more definite prognosis about the chances of the victim.

[lizann]

i thought the same about a replacement

[Perdita]

i thought the same about a replacement

Takes months these days to get a replacement... Civil Servants went on strike for 5 weeks earlier this year, if I remember correctly...

The Police act on the instructions of the CPS. Getting an early plea to GBH without intent is a bit sly really.

[alan45]

Things have obviously changed since my young day. Emmerdale "justice" must move at lightening speed. Local peelers must have a very big workload.

miracles happen there, look at the hospital survival rates, miracle recovery speeds

[katie hunter]

Amelia didn't take much convincing to leave Noah behind. The kidnap has already gone on for too long.

[Dennis tanner]

Amelia didn't take much convincing to leave Noah behind. The kidnap has already gone on for too long.

Never really cared about him.

Although she was married to a bogus vicar, Laurel hasn't got the idea of this praying malarky, unless, of course, they always finished up hitting each other with a bible

[alan45]

Although she was married to a bogus vicar, Laurel hasn't got the idea of this praying malarky,

Ashley was a real vicar, certainly more believable than Harriett or the present incumbent

[lizann]

dan and amelia with esther off to mystic dingle in donegal

[Snagglepus]

Why didn't Laurel lock the door after she bashed Marshall's dad over the head?
Why, when someone is held captive in a room/house with the doors locked, don't they ever break the windows?

[Son of Cain]

Why didn't Laurel lock the door after she bashed Marshall's dad over the head?
Why, when someone is held captive in a room/house with the doors locked, don't they ever break the windows?

It's as if Soap characters locked in a room forget there is a window. Instead of sitting on the bed or with her back to the door, Laurel should have been by the window waiting for a passerby so she could smash the window and shout for help.

And why when she did get the keys did she not wait until Colin went up stairs to try and open the door, or at least tip toe and try to open it silently.

[Son of Cain]

Watching the TV show "Escape to the Country" where people move to find a quiet life, there is never any mention of religious maniacs kidnapping a past vicar's wife, or taxi drivers delivering dodgy packages. Certainly not garage mechanics killing their daughter's stalker and then fleeing to Ireland. It is all kicking off in The Village of the Damned now.

[Perdita]

This kidnap story is one of the most boring ones I have ever suffered through....

[lizann]

why did suni not go to india for rishi funeral?

[Dennis tanner]

Ashley was a real vicar, certainly more believable than Harriett or the present incumbent

He was supposed to be a vicar but I don't even think he was a Christian.

[Perdita]

why did suni not go to india for rishi funeral?

Jai told him not to go because he had the Pride party at the house and did not apologise

[Dennis tanner]

Jai told him not to go because he had the Pride party at the house and did not apologise

I thought he said that his father had told him to return home right away

[lizann]

This kidnap story is one of the most boring ones I have ever suffered through....

it is bad

[Son of Cain]

I thought he said that his father had told him to return home right away

His father did want him to return, but Suni did not want to go because he thought he would be forced into the family business and not be able to return to the UK. Jai told him to move out of Rishi's house because he thought the sprite Party was disrespectful to Rishi's memory.

[Son of Cain]

Would Dan not have had to surrender his passport when he got bail?

[lizann]

Would Dan not have had to surrender his passport when he got bail?

who put up dan's bail

[Son of Cain]

who put up dan's bail

I do not think you need to put up bail money in the UK unlike the USA.

[Son of Cain]

At the start of tonight's episode the continuity announcer said there would be scenes of threat and distress that some viewers might find distressing. I do not know about others here, but he certainly did not need to worry about me, I survived tonight's episode of "Carry on Kidnapping" just fine.

[Dennis tanner]

His father did want him to return, but Suni did not want to go because he thought he would be forced into the family business and not be able to return to the UK. Jai told him to move out of Rishi's house because he thought the sprite Party was disrespectful to Rishi's memory.So why didn't he go with Jai ?

[Dennis tanner]

Would Dan not have had to surrender his passport when he got bail?

Wouldn't need one to go to Ireland.

Cain asked Dan if he had any regrets. Dan admitted that he had a few but didn't say they were too few to mention.

[lizann]

jai was back fast from India, was there no big funeral, life celebrations that last days for rishi

[Dennis tanner]

jai was back fast from India, was there no big funeral, life celebrations that last days for rishi

Jai got bored with the mourning.

[alan45]

why did suni not go to india for rishi funeral?

I thought Jai had went to India. Did I miss something?

[Son of Cain]

Wouldn't need one to go to Ireland.

Cain asked Dan if he had any regrets. Dan admitted that he had a few but didn't say they were too few to mention.

You do need a valid form of of ID to travel to ireland, and some ferries companies will only accept a valid passport as identification.

[alan45]

You do need a valid form of of ID to travel to ireland, and some ferries companies will only accept a valid passport as identification.

If you travel from Scotland to Northern Ireland no id is requested as obviously both countries in UK. It's not a big run up from The Dales to Cairnryan. Unless Desperate Dan was a flight risk he wouldn't have to hand in his passport

[lizann]

I thought Jai had went to India. Did I miss something?

jai did but suni didnt

[johntrevor]

You do need a valid form of of ID to travel to ireland, and some ferries companies will only accept a valid passport as identification.

That's correct I have been.

[alan45]

That's correct I have been.

Hence the reason to go via Cairnryan to Belfast. No id required.

[Son of Cain]

Wendy is acting as if the affair was all Bob's fault, she knew it was wrong when she was playing Doctors and Nurses with Liam, now she seems to expect Bob to forgive and forget.
Liam, for a doctor, he seems to lack sensitivity, just saying good morning to Bob as if nothing had ever happened.

[Snagglepus]

Wendy is acting as if the affair was all Bob's fault, she knew it was wrong when she was playing Doctors and Nurses with Liam, now she seems to expect Bob to forgive and forget.

She said she had the affair because Bob hadn't been giving her one for a few months.

[Dennis tanner]

She said she had the affair because Bob hadn't been giving her one for a few months.

Wendy hadn't had one for weeks but Laurel didn't urinate for 3 days

[johntrevor]

Hence the reason to go via Cairnryan to Belfast. No id required.

Yes no id for Northern Ireland as it's part of UK Dan was going to The Rebulic of Ireland which is still in the EU.
That's where i go and a form of identity is required.

[lizann]

Yes no id for Northern Ireland as it's part of UK Dan was going to The Rebulic of Ireland which is still in the EU.
That's where i go and a form of identity is required.yes dan was going to a dingle in donegal unless came in by NI then drove there as it up the north of ireland very near NI, derry

[Son of Cain]

She said she had the affair because Bob hadn't been giving her one for a few months.

I find that hard to believe, Bob who had the reputation and the history of giving one, to more than one, in his prime. Unless he has reached the "Blue Pill" stage of life.

[Son of Cain]

Nowadays you will need a form of ID to travel almost anywhere by flying or ferry. Flying from London to Scotland it is required, and while technically a passport is not needed, some airlines and ferry companies will only accept a passport as proof of I'D.

Dan travelling alone with a young girl and a baby would almost certainly have been stopped and checked to make sure this was not a case of child abduction.

[lizann]

jai has rishi ashes, what was the point of india just to have priya and nikhil off screen

i did lol at bob with liam and the football

good to see a defibrillator in use

yes wendy is to blame

[alan45]

yes dan was going to a dingle in donegal unless came in by NI then drove there as it up the north of ireland very near NI, derry

Thats what made me think his quickest route would have been Cairnryan to Belfast and he would have been in Donegal in 2 hrs or less. Otherwise its 3 -4 hrs from Dublin and all those identity checks

[Dennis tanner]

jai has rishi ashes, what was the point of india just to have priya and nikhil off screen

i did lol at bob with liam and the football

good to see a defibrillator in use

yes wendy is to blame

Agree with all that but I mainly blame Liam who was her boss. If she wants to stay as a nurse she will need to find somewhere who do not need to see her qualifications

[lizann]

how was she working at the hospital? no checks, temping?

[Dennis tanner]

In Pointless today, you could win the jacpkpot by naming a cast member of Gangs of New York. I immediately thought of Nick Miles

[Son of Cain]

How does Amelia know that Dan will get three years, has he been sentenced already.

[Son of Cain]

I have never heard anyone call someone fathead in real life, is it only a word in Emmerdale?

[Son of Cain]

Jacb is getting plenty of practical experience, first Lloyd now Bob. Must be ready for a placement in A&E.

[johntrevor]

I have never heard anyone call someone fathead in real life, is it only a word in Emmerdale?

It's a word that was used in "the good old days" meaning someone who was useless. Was used a lot when I was growing up in the midlands, not towards me I must add.......lol.

[Son of Cain]

It's a word that was used in "the good old days" meaning someone who was useless. Was used a lot when I was growing up in the midlands, not towards me I must add.......lol.

Only place I ever heard it is in Emmerdale, mostly from Sam, expect we had better words in Scotland where I grew up.

[lizann]

I have never heard anyone call someone fathead in real life, is it only a word in Emmerdale?

heard a fair bit here in ireland

[Dennis tanner]

Jacb is getting plenty of practical experience, first Lloyd now Bob. Must be ready for a placement in A&E.

He's more like Liam's new nurse

[Perdita]

I have never heard anyone call someone fathead in real life, is it only a word in Emmerdale?

Sure heard this in a British military environment which I was in for 30 years or so...

[Son of Cain]

Sure heard this in a British military environment which I was in for 30 years or so...

Shows what a sheltered life I've had.

[Perdita]

Bob has been taken the purple pills! :O

[Son of Cain]

Bob has been taken the purple pills! :O

No, I think that is the the problem, he hasn't been taking them. Altho' maybe he should have been.

[Son of Cain]

Yesterday Amelia said Dan had got 3 years yet tonight he said he had not been sentenced yet, and did not know how long he would get. Something is not adding up.

[Dennis tanner]

No, I think that is the the problem, he hasn't been taking them. Altho' maybe he should have been.

Perhaps not with his heart condition

[Dennis tanner]

Yesterday Amelia said Dan had got 3 years yet tonight he said he had not been sentenced yet, and did not know how long he would get. Something is not adding up.

Amelia was speculating. Meanwhile, Lydia is still after her baby

[Son of Cain]

Amelia was speculating. Meanwhile, Lydia is still after her baby

If she was speculating , she should have speculated about 5 years which is the maximum sentence for gbh without intent, which is what I assume that Dan was charged with. Given that Lloyd has died, I think you would receive the maximum.

[lizann]

Yesterday Amelia said Dan had got 3 years yet tonight he said he had not been sentenced yet, and did not know how long he would get. Something is not adding up.

is 3 years the minimum his solicitor thinks he will get?

[Son of Cain]

First fathead, now poo head, something else I have never heard of.

I doubt Sam washes his own socks, so has Lydia made the sock bag for herself.

[Dennis tanner]

If she was speculating , she should have speculated about 5 years which is the maximum sentence for gbh without intent, which is what I assume that Dan was charged with. Given that Lloyd has died, I think you would receive the maximum.

The charge will upgraded to Manslaughter which has a maximum sentence of Life and a minimum sentence of anything

[Dennis tanner]

Sam's birthday so they go to the pub to scrounge drinks

[Son of Cain]

The charge will upgraded to Manslaughter which has a maximum sentence of Life and a minimum sentence of anything

Not necessarily manslaughter, only if the consequences could have been reasonably forseeable. In Dan's case it was bad luck that Lloyd hit his head on the rock instead of the grass.

[Dennis tanner]

Not necessarily manslaughter, only if the consequences could have been reasonably forseeable. In Dan's case it was bad luck that Lloyd hit his head on the rock instead of the grass.

If you assault someone and they die, it has to be at least manslaughter.

I was annoyed by the judge. He totally failed to take account of the fact that Dan was desperate.

Perhaps Marlon should take a few driving lessons

The amount of free drinks handed out at the pub is astonishing

[lizann]

8 years bye bye dan, the judge was very against dan from the off

wish amelia was off to see sean or kerry with esther

will lydia jenny go off with her ex, her baby daddy and cheat on sam?

why was david so upset over dan, was he the shop's best customer as i do not remember them as mates

off the prison dan got a better bigger send off than rishi who died

[Dennis tanner]

8 years bye bye dan, the judge was very against dan from the off

off the prison dan got a better bigger send off than rishi who died

Dan killed a man with just one punch. Will other prisoners see this as a threat or a challenge

[Snagglepus]

The escorts looked like they were marching Dan to the execution chamber.

[katie hunter]

I know Dan pleaded guilty but shouldn't the judge have taken into account that he was provoked? There's been hardly any mention of Amelia being stalked either?

[Perdita]

I know Dan pleaded guilty but shouldn't the judge have taken into account that he was provoked? There's been hardly any mention of Amelia being stalked either?

I think because Liam Fox wants to go and do panto and then whatever, they purposely ignored most of the important details. Courtroom drama never goes anywhere near reality in soapland anyway.

[johntrevor]

I think because Liam Fox wants to go and do panto and then whatever, they purposely ignored most of the important details. Courtroom drama never goes anywhere near reality in soapland anyway.

Did anybody else notice that Lloyd's wife and his mother seemed to exchange awkward glances when Dan was talking to the judge about Amelia being hounded by Lloyd ? Do the pair of them know something ?

[johntrevor]

I think because Liam Fox wants to go and do panto and then whatever, they purposely ignored most of the important details. Courtroom drama never goes anywhere near reality in soapland anyway.

Dan has had an eventful time on the show, including three weddings and the discovery that Amelia was actually fathered by his brother.

And the soap star had been contemplating a change of professional scenery before the Emmerdale bosses pipped him to the post.

"I had actually got to a point where I had been starting to think I needed a change to perhaps leave Emmerdale but I was struggling to have the bottle to make it," Fox shared.

And so, when the producers first told me about what was going to happen to Dan, my immediate reaction was 'this is brilliant'. I knew it would mean I would be working flat out so I wanted to put everything into it."

When asked whether he'd consider returning to the character, he said: "I would never say 'I am not going there again' because it's such a great place to work with great people. It might be quite interesting if Dan does come back in a few years to see how he is changed.

"But for now, it is important for Dan to serve time for what he has done."

[Perdita]

So is this Bernice's exit story? Make room for Wendy and Bob to work on their relationship? Off to Australia to see Dee-Dee maybe?

[Snagglepus]

Is Dan not going to have any prison visits?

[Dennis tanner]

I know Dan pleaded guilty but shouldn't the judge have taken into account that he was provoked? There's been hardly any mention of Amelia being stalked either?

The Judge is not a Soap fan

[Son of Cain]

The escorts looked like they were marching Dan to the execution chamber.
Yes, I thought there was something weird about the way they were holding his arms. You describe it perfectly.

[Perdita]

Is Dan not going to have any prison visits?

Doubt it, he has left Emmerdale for good... will be a forgotten character, nev er to be mentioned again, unless they have filmed a couple of episodes before he left of course

[Son of Cain]

Dan killed a man with just one punch. Will other prisoners see this as a threat or a challenge

Looking at Dan I shouldn't think either.

[Son of Cain]

So is this Bernice's exit story? Make room for Wendy and Bob to work on their relationship? Off to Australia to see Dee-Dee maybe?

Samantha Giles left before looking for bigger and better things, but it did not seem to work out for her. Hope she has better luck this time if she is going.

[Dennis tanner]

Looking at Dan I shouldn't think either.

Never the less, I think there is a good chance of Dan being killed in The Chokey. More angst for Amelia who keeps pretending that she's got a job with Mandy who's only customer appears to be Sam.

The scenes between Marlon and the pretend Vet have been done many times and are pathetic,

Charles is growing his hair but I will not be fooled. The 666 sign will still be there.

Samn looks very concerned about Lydia's boyfriend and he is right to be. It will not end well.

[lizann]

So is this Bernice's exit story? Make room for Wendy and Bob to work on their relationship? Off to Australia to see Dee-Dee maybe?

id prefer wendy leaving

[Dennis tanner]

id prefer wendy leaving

Not me. There has never been a better nurse. She may not be qualified but Meena was qualified and she kept killing people

[lizann]

how is mack paying for this big bash christening, chloe does nothing

[Dennis tanner]

how is mack paying for this big bash christening, chloe does nothing

His wife owns the pub.

A very boring episode. The Vet and Mary. What was that all about?

Why is the Vet still calling himself Paddy Dingle ?

[Dennis tanner]

Samson was very excited about seeing a 6 year old car

Nearly half the village have mental issues.

Nico tells customers they haven't paid and they still walk out without paying. This happens all the time in soaps although they normally cancel food or drinks after they have been prepared. Sensible places ask for the money up front.

[lizann]

charity put chloe in her place

How else would businesses get into financial trouble and threats of bankruptsy, if this did not happen, together with giving away free drinks, of course.

[lizann]

charity pregnant by mack again?

[Dennis tanner]

charity pregnant by mack again?

That's the way it normally works in soaps.

Doctor Doolittle tried talking to animals.

[katie hunter]

charity pregnant by mack again?

I was thinking that too, anything that makes Chloe head for the hills is fine by me.

[Dennis tanner]

Whenever I visit my parents grave I just silently think of them. I would be horrified to think that they are trapped underground in the cold and dark waiting to someone to speak to them.

[Dennis tanner]

'Poor Mackenzie'. He loves Charity, Chloe and his son. I think he wants them to share him.

[lizann]

'Poor Mackenzie'. He loves Charity, Chloe and his son. I think he wants them to share him.

no way he loves chloe

[Son of Cain]

no way he loves chloe

I don't love her, but I quite like her, or maybe it's just her red hair I like.

[Son of Cain]

I would hate to live in a place like Emmerdale, where everyone is into everyone else's business. In my street people might occasionally nod or say hello, that's it. Chastity not content in ruining her own her own relationship, is now urging Charity to try and get back with Mack. Moira cannot help herself, going to speak to Chastity, when they can barely be civil to each other most of the time. And why did she have to tell Cain, knowing how well these two get on. The more people that know a secret, the less likely it is to remain secret.

[Son of Cain]

'Poor Mackenzie'. He loves Charity, Chloe and his son. I think he wants them to share him.

It works for Mormons.

[lizann]

moira was bias in her way of telling mack stay with chloe over charity who he loves, he can still be a dad to reuben

[Perdita]

moira was bias in her way of telling mack stay with chloe over charity who he loves, he can still be a dad to reuben

I did not understand why she would say that, rather than Mac being happy with a reconciliation with Charity and being Reuben's dad but not living with him and Chloe.... I hope that they will get back and that Charity against all odds will be pregnant with Mac's baby... how will Mac deal with that??? :hmm:

[lizann]

charity deserves to be happy and loved

[Dennis tanner]

charity deserves to be happy and loved

Well I love her.

[Perdita]

Well I love her.

Get yourself on the cast list and tell her :D

[lizann]

great cain and charity scenes as always 👏

[Son of Cain]

I hope that they will get back and that Charity against all odds will be pregnant with Mac's baby... how will Mac deal with that??? :hmm:

I don't understand why she would want to get back with him, or is it more a matter of she does not want Chloe to have him. I don't think she will ever let him forget his infidelity, which hardly makes for the basis of a happy long lasting relationship. His tie to Chloe through Reuben will always be there and I do not thing Charity will ever be happy with that. Better, I think, for Mack to stay with Chloe.

[lizann]

i think charity loved mack or still loves mack, he broke down her defences and she liked their family and he was good with moses, charity has cheated herself in the past and she could over come the cheating and i think also reuben

charity will end up pregnant again by mack no doubt

chloe is just delusional

[Dennis tanner]

Victor is a lazy scrounger but his beloved wife encourages him to be like he is.

[Snagglepus]

Victor is a lazy scrounger but his beloved wife encourages him to be like he is.Will he steal Manpreet's necklace?

[Perdita]

Will he steal Manpreet's necklace?

Or is Victor trying to frame him by putting it in his pocket....

[Snagglepus]

Deleted post as would not format properly.

[lizann]

did manpreet ever pay rishi back after her debts, she should return the necklace to priya

[katie hunter]

Victor is a lazy scrounger but his beloved wife encourages him to be like he is.

Has it ever been confirmed that he is actually ill?

[Perdita]

Has it ever been confirmed that he is actually ill?

Not as far as I remember... Manpreet would have had to look at his medical records and I do not think she ever was able to....

[Dennis tanner]

did manpreet ever pay rishi back after her debts, I don't recall her doing so even though she earns a very good wage
she should return the necklace to priya Agreed

[Dennis tanner]

Has it ever been confirmed that he is actually ill?

He's an overweight late middle aged man. He probably does have heart problems.

[Son of Cain]

Not as far as I remember... Manpreet would have had to look at his medical records and I do not think she ever was able to....

Has he registered with a doctor in the village since coming out of prison?

[Dennis tanner]

Has he registered with a doctor in the village since coming out of prison?

Does anyone ?

Which receptionist would he register with ?

Has it ever been confirmed that he is actually ill?

id say he is faking the brain tumour brain aneurysm he is against manpreet giving him a check up

[Son of Cain]

I am bored with the feud between Victor and Charles. Although I do not like Charles much, I feel sorry for him, first his mother forces herself into his home now his dad who he never got on with in the first place. He was reasonably happy before these intrusions.

[Son of Cain]

Does anyone ?

Which receptionist would he register with ?

Judging by how few patients Liam and Manpreet seem to have, they do not really seem to need a receptionist.

Charles needs to kick him out and let her go with him if she wants him so badly

I guess that clears up whether Victor was ill or not.

The Swirl will count it as a serious theft detected. It will be Hotton's detection for the week. Crime solved. Property returned. No time wasted in Custody. No need for a court appearance. Everyones a winner especially Charles

Well if Charles planted it, and the stress caused to Victor was responsible for his death, doesn't that mean Charles killed his father, although accidently. And if a convicted gun toting bank robber like Victor who was on probation stole it why would he "hide" it in his own pocket.

Claudette didn't think it was illogical. That's why she searched his coat.

Victor should have been left where he was. It would double the attendance for Charle's next sermon.

I never understand these gangster Soap stories, where guns or drugs are brought to some Soap Character to then be delivered somewhere else. Presumably this is to avoid the risk of the criminal being caught while delivering the "goods". But is the risk any less when the "goods" are delivered to the Soap Character. Just as easy for the criminal to take them to the final destination, cutting out the middle person. Or am I missing something?

[Dennis tanner]

Well, that happened sooner than I thought it would.

Not quite. He escaped a beating and still had time to go into Hotton for his daily visit to the barbers.

Meanwhile Caleb's persuasive tongue failed him. He got beat up and he had to use the services of Liam, Doctor to the Dodgy.

The Fragrant Victoria( no relation to dead Victor ) failed to explain to her recruit that they mainly did burgers and pizza.

Charles did not know that he didn't need to go into his tiny church to speak to his god

Martha Cope who played Sandy Gibson in Eastenders is to join Emmerdale.

It's not clear at present whether Cope will return in the detective role, she played before in Emmerdale, or play a brand new character, but the storyline is guaranteed to be nothing short of dramatic, in true soapland fashion.

Saint Lydia of Dingle Dell is too good for her own good. Choosing to let Craig get away with raping her so that Samson can get work experience. Would not mind so much if Samson deserved it,- but I do not think he does. Of course it will all come out in the end , but now she has got rid of the evidence.

Most new cars on the road nowadays are leased, with the leasing company covering running costs, excluding fuel. So it does not cost as much as you think, especially if it is a business lease.

Not so much an attack, more like rugby practise. To be fair to him, they did kick him a few times once he was down. Even more stupid when he said it was leased.

[Son of Cain]

younger brother?

That's what I thought, a younger brother or a son. But I do not think he is old enough to have a son that age. According to Wiki he only has a younger sister, no brother. But then again characters are always finding unknown lost relatives, so maybe.

I am finding more and more that there are very few Soap characters that I would like as real people. At the moment I think Gail is the only one, with possibly Jimmy and Rodney. They are either too stupid, too aggressive, too selfish, too miserable or busybodies. Even characters, like Tom, that start of quite nice, seem to develop unlikeable characteristics.

I find Craig, a sort of unbelievable character only brought in for a bit of drama. I think they are overdoing Lydia's saintly attitude too much for it to be real, and Sam's over enthusiastic attitude towards Craig, at the same time being totally oblivious to Lydia's obvious distress hard to believe.

Don't see how Jacob having an allergic reaction to nuts would stop Gabby selling the The Hide. As far as we know none of Gabby's buyers had a nut allergy, so did not affect any of them. If they bought the place as long as they made it well known that it was under new management, everything should be fine. They might even have been able to wangle a discount.

I am really not engaging with Lydia's story at all. She is screaming and shouting at everybody without any explanation of what is upsetting her. I understand that some abused women feel they are unable to confide in others or report their rape or abuse to the police. Normally I think they would become quiet and withdrawn, unlike Lydia. It seemed that Lydia initially chose not to confide because she did not want to jeopardize Samson's work placement, but now that he no longer doing this, she has no reason to keep quiet. When we first met Craig he was presented as being quite nice, perhaps even a bit niave and innocent, he says he misread the signals, which might explain his behavior, but not excuse it. When Lydia said no, he should have stopped. Now I feel he is being presented as a nasty, creepy manipulator. When Lydia first appeared, if I remember right, she was a grief councillor, which I think should have better equipped her to deal with her situation. The weakest part of this story I think is that no one around her seems to have noticed her dislike and anger towards Craig, surely someone should realize that something here is not right.
