Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[lizann]

Will Kerry ever stop allowing men to use her? Cain, Al and now Will - probably others I've forgotten. Will she ever learn to keep her drawers on?

she's anyone's for a few drinks

[Perdita]

I find it hard to believe that Kim and Will still share accommodation and that Kim flaunts her relationship with another man ......

[Dennis tanner]

Will Kerry ever stop allowing men to use her? Cain, Al and now Will - probably others I've forgotten. Will she ever learn to keep her drawers on?

Kerry has always been friendly.

she's anyone's for a few drinks

I doubt it, but I also doubt she would go with Will, he is hardly a catch.

[Son of Cain]

I find it hard to believe that Kim and Will still share accommodation and that Kim flaunts her relationship with another man ......

They are really stretching this story past the bounds of credibility. I still find it hard to believe that Kim would ever have married Will in the first place. As I have said above,he is hardly a catch.

[katie hunter]

Will and his daughter have done nothing but sponge off her and now Kim wants him back??

[ccahill2]

I don't understand Kim. She's such a tough cookie, but when the entire family was convinced that she was the one who drugged Dawn, she didn't kick them out. She left, and in her absence, she allowed Rose to continue to live in her own home to wreak her havoc. She plays her revenge games, but she catches Will cheating and she doesn't kick him out. She continues to let him mooch but tries to make him squirm. As a viewer of only a year, this seems to go against the history that I've read about her. Her behavior isn't as strong as her legacy, to me.

Soapland does not follow the rules of the real world, there is no rhyme or reason to much of what happens there. Characters do and say things that would never be said in reality. They reach conclusions based on the flimsiest of evidence, at other times they blatantly ignore things that are staring them in the face. Characters change behavior and personalities to suit the current plots. Kim is simply followingthe rules of Soapland. I do not know what it is like where you live, but where I live neighbours barely say hello to each other. In Soapland neighbours know everything about each other, move in and out of each other's houses, live with each other and sleep with each other, almost at the speed of light. See Laurel and Charles. Kim will not be the last character to puzzle you.

[Son of Cain]

She isn't capable of physically kicking him out.

That's what lawyers are for.

[lizann]

kim should change the locks and bring up malone but I think maybe loneliness and wanting family in dawn and the kids she won't

[Perdita]

kim should change the locks and bring up malone but I think maybe loneliness and wanting family in dawn and the kids she won't

She admitted to Lydia that she is still loving Will..

She admitted to Lydia that she is still loving Will..

and that's why she not involving solicitors

Laurel making sure Arthur doesn't get pregnant.

[Perdita]

Laurel making sure Arthur doesn't get pregnant.

Actually an important message was sent.... safe sex !!!

[Son of Cain]

kim should change the locks and bring up malone but I think maybe loneliness and wanting family in dawn and the kids she won't

If Kim brings up Malone, she runs the risk of the police finding out that she that she had his body dug up and disposed off. So I doubt she will ever do that.

[Dennis tanner]

Actually an important message was sent.... safe sex !!!

Having his mom showing him how to wear a condom was inappropriate for a family show.

[johntrevor]

Having his mom showing him how to wear a condom was inappropriate for a family show.

She didnt show him how to wear it. She simply gave him a packet of condoms to practice SAFE sex, nothing wrong with that on a family show.
Simply a little embarrassing for Arthur.

I don't want to think about it, never mind imagine it.

[Snagglepus]

Telling Arthur not to take things the wrong way was good advice from John.

[Dennis tanner]

Telling Arthur not to take things the wrong way was good advice from John.
and what would be the right way for him to 'take it' ??

[lizann]

Rest In Peace Zak/Steve

Liam really pushing to be close to Sam, missing Cain?

[Dennis tanner]

Rest In Peace Zak/Steve

Liam really pushing to be close to Sam, missing Cain?

Has he paid him for the work or does he just owe him a pint ?

[lizann]

id say real tears for zak steve

kim broke me

[ccahill2]

Kim's performance moved me the most as well.

[Dennis tanner]

It also impressed Will who forgot to ask for the money

I thought that was more that she was willing to hug him - over and over! He didn't want to ruin the moment.

[Dennis tanner]

He is now planing to ask if they can all move back in and carry on scrounging.

[lizann]

fast trip back with zak's body from Scotland and is his death going to be registered?

ruby kicking caleb out of his own house

[ccahill2]

I noticed that about Ruby! He'd lived there for quite some time before she came onto the show.

The performance that moved me the most today was Marlon's quiet sorrow.

[katie hunter]

fast trip back with zak's body from Scotland and is his death going to be registered?

ruby kicking caleb out of his own house

Aberdeen to Yorkshire must be at least 6 hours.

Funeral tomorrow as well. It all seems very rushed?

What will Ruby do when she finds out about the money Caleb took from her mother?

[Snagglepus]

I was wondering what excuse they would have for Debbie not being at her Grandads funeral.

[lizann]

I was wondering what excuse they would have for Debbie not being at her Grandads funeral.

at least she was mentioned now will sam's other siblings get any mention

debbie just could not face saying goodbye to her beloved zak

[Dennis tanner]

at least she was mentioned now will sam's other siblings get any mention

debbie just could not face saying goodbye to her beloved zak

Why was Debbie keeping Zak in Scotland when he was ill. How could he have been helping her ?

I suspect the Dingles will want to collect Zak's pension payments for as long as possible

[Son of Cain]

Looking at the state of the van I am surprised it could manage a trip to the village and back never mind Aberdeen.

[johntrevor]

Yes me too, is it even road legal ?

[Son of Cain]

Yes me too, is it even road legal ?

Pesumably Cain has MOTed it. But I noticed the front bumper was broken, which could be a fail if it was deemed that a passing pedestrian could catch their leg on it and injure themselves.

[lizann]

new tina being cruel to sam seems personality transplant

none of zaks grandkids at his funeral

[katie hunter]

Tina Dingle - someone to rival Mandy as the most irritating Dingle.

Why did Vinny carry the coffin and not Aaron. Where was Ryan, Rhona

[katie hunter]

Tina Dingle - someone to rival Mandy as the most irritating Dingle.

Why did Vinny carry the coffin and not Aaron? Where was Ryan, Rhona, Mack?

Nate not answering his phone again? He was quite close to Zak and its strange that he wouldn't at least acknowledge his death.

Ryan was annoyed that he couldn't carry the coffin

[ccahill2]

I loved Belle's moment of clarity. And although she may not realize it yet, it shows her triumph over Tom. He tried to destroy Lisa's ashes, but Belle was able to recover enough so that Lisa could be buried with Zak in that beautiful moment. I hope that when she doesn't carry the weight of the world on her shoulders, she'll be able to look back and realize that she did good.

[Dennis tanner]

Everyone made any effort to look smart apart from Yorkshire's most useless vet

[ccahill2]

I never knew Tina, so found her to be a hoot and Lydia knocking her down and everyone seeing the ankle bracelet was a nice bit of humor mixed in with the sad occasion.

But from my reading, Tina was never a miserable person, and wouldn't have gone after her inheritance or disrespected Zak as she did. Could you tell me more?

Also, I'm hoping to watch some classic episodes of Emmerdale that are shown in the States. Can you recommend a good year to begin? I'd rather to see earlier episodes of the characters we know today than the ones from before they joined the show.

I believe ITV3 started to show the Emmerdale Classic episodes, I think it was when they were in the late 1990s, not sure though. I do not remember ever having seen anything from the 70s when Emmerdale Farm first started. The Classic episodes were shown from 2019...

tina was wise and family was everything so her calling sam dumb was out of sorts plus tina was a match for kim, this tina seems miles different

[ccahill2]

This Tina could have been Rose. I didn't see much difference in character.

[Dennis tanner]

My question is, " How did Zak Dingle manage to buy Castle Dingle"

[lizann]

My question is, " How did Zak Dingle manage to buy Castle Dingle"

did they squat there at the start but did tina buy or get it off frank tate then?

[lizann]

that was a good 3 hander episode and hillbilly rock hillbilly roll was remembered, good flashbacks

[Perdita]

did they squat there at the start but did tina buy or get it off frank tate then?

https://emmerdale.fandom.com/wiki/Wishing_Well_Cottage


Wishing Well Cottage was originally a barn, a part of Holdgate Farm, and was rented out to the Dingles by Mr Holdgate. According to Lisa Dingle in 2017, the house held fifty years' worth of Dingle history, meaning that the family had lived there since at least 1967.

When Mr. Holdgate died in September 1995, Frank Tate, who had bought Holdgate Farm as part of the Home Farm Estate, tried to evict the Dingles as he technically owned the house. However, many of the villagers banded together to save the Dingles house so the Tates were forced to agree to allow the Dingles to stay and rent it.

In 1998, the Dingles faced loosing their home again after Lady Tara Oakwell's financial issues meant she had to sell off chunks of the Home Farm Estate. Tara's lawyer Laura Johnstone agreed to let the Dingles buy their house for ?6,000, believing they'd never be able to raise the money. Her suspicions looked to be proved correct when the Dingles didn't have the money by the 1st October deadline so Zak, Lisa, Butch, and Mandy were forced to move out. However, Mandy managed to come up with the money after her boyfriend Paddy Kirk's mother Barbara paid her to marry someone else in the hopes that it would end her relationship with Paddy once and for all. After Mandy married her cousin Butch, Barbara handed over the cash and the Dingles were able to buy their house back.

After Debbie Dingle moved out in early 2006, the Dingles transformed her old bedroom into a self-contained flat to give Sam and Alice their own space with and their newborn son Samson.

In January 2018, Joe Tate arranges for the house to be demolished to make way for an access road for a golf course. Joe throws a party at Home Farm so nobody will see Wishing Well Cottage get demolished, but whilst Chas Dingle was working at The Woolpack, Noah and Samson Dingle sneak off to Wishing Well Cottage and are trapped when the place is getting destroyed. However, Graham Foster beats up the contractors to get them to stop with the demolishing, and he and Eric Pollard save Noah and Samson.

[katie hunter]

I thought it was a nice tribute to Zak. I was worried that Lydia (who seems to get sandwiched into most scenes) was going to spoil it at one point and was glad when she cleared off.

[Snagglepus]

Didn't Debbie at one time own the cottage, when she was a businesswoman/gangstermoll. I think she eventually gave it back to Zak.

[ccahill2]

Last night's episode was so poignant, but aside from the flashbacks, my favorite moments were Sam and Belle singing together and getting Cain to continue, Sam hugging Cain from behind and Cain's deadpan response, and the two brothers sharing some of Dad's whiskey and giving Belle apple juice instead. Lovely moments!

Thanks. So the Dingles lived there for 20 odd years before they bothered to visit the village.

vinny a real dingle from real mammy tina dingle

[katie hunter]

Tina and Paul - a real match made in heaven. I wonder how Mandy ended up with Paul?

Is Stephanie by chance the same girl who is organising the illegal boxing matches?

[ccahill2]

I've loved Belle and Vinnie and knew their relation was too close for comfort, preventing them from getting together, but any hope is now out the window.

And really good thought about Stephanie!

jade looks same age as her mother ruby then

[katie hunter]

Is Tina's plan to destroy Zacks will and claim the house as hers? Surely it would be shared equally between all his children?

Will it be Nicola that gets Tom sent down?

[johntrevor]

Will it be Nicola that gets Tom sent down?

Hopefully

[lizann]

Hopefully

and soon, sick of smug tom and idiot amelia

[ccahill2]

Now that I am watching some 2019 episodes, Amelia was really little and cute, but she's grown up to be a real lunkhead and is a full accessory to Tom's crimes and in my opinion should be punished as well. I suspect that before this is all over, she will see signs of the real Tom and will come through for Belle at the last moment. At least I hope she does.

[ccahill2]

Question for long-term viewers.

I'm beginning to watch some older episodes of Emmerdale and am currently watching early 2019. It seems that Belle is calling the police because she believes that Lachlin sent her something akin to the flowers that she said that Tom sent her.

Is this a trend with Belle? Obviously she's been involved with some people who have turned out to be horrible, but I'm wondering whether some haven't accepted what she was initially claiming because of memories of past behavior (where it looks like to me, she was obviously right but not everything yet has unfolded for me to know for sure).

Back in around 2014 Belle accidently killed her friend Gemma over an argument about a boy, Sean Spencer, who was Amelia's brother. They both fancied him and as they argued Belle pushed her to the ground and Gemma hit her head on a rock and died. Belle turned herself in to the police and got 3 years, she was out after 1 year, following a successful appeal. After being released she started hearing Gemma's voice all the while telling her to do bad things, this eventually lead to her being diagnosed with shizophrenia.

i hope the detective is told about the smashed tablet, another time now tom has lied to them

[ccahill2]

I really really really hope that Nicola talks to the officer about the tablet and even lets him interview Carl.

I love Mary's smile. I'm happy to see her being featured again, this time at the bar. The way she broke up that fight was perfection.

Ross is really handsome. It's a shame he's bad news. I don't know the backstory. I'm just basing that on today's dialogue.

Billy really got himself into something stupid. I never expected him to be the dimmer one between him and Dawn.

[lizann]

ross has history too with dawn

ross isn't all bad, he loved debbie and donna

[katie hunter]

Ross always had a chip on his shoulder but I can't remember him being as bad as this. Maybe something to do with Rebecca?

[Son of Cain]

Billy really got himself into something stupid. I never expected him to be the dimmer one between him and Dawn.

I would say it is a toss up as to who is the dimmer one. If Dawn believes Billy got his injuries at boxersize or personal training, then she is not very bright. In boxersize they do not hit each other and injuries in the gym are usually sprains and strains.

[ccahill2]

Well, as someone who didn't previously know him, he seems like a good actor, but even more, he seems to wreak of charisma, which is always a good thing for a show. I like him and hope he stays on. Just not with a knuckle fighting story.

Only loving women that you fancy does not make you a good person.

I'm not convinced that she is dead, he hardly showed any emotion at all?

Why would the police entertain Tom to enquire about the tablet without actually having it and then, when found, still not knowing what it contains... surely it would have made sense to wait until IT guys have found incriminating evidence???

As you often say DRAMA, - In Soap's people are arrested on the basis of drama not logic.

[Son of Cain]

Where is Adam is he still wanted by the police?

[Son of Cain]

I did not realise that last night's episode started early, when I switched on at the usual time I thought it started a bit abruptly and I could not quite understand what was going on.

[Son of Cain]

I wondering if that was Tom's tablet or if they were trying to bluff him into thinking they had it. It did not look very smashed up to me. Surely Tom would have got rid of it somewhere away from the village.

is he in France and yes I think he is wanted over Emma's death covering for Moira

tom was caught out in his lies about the tablet and cameras plus he never reported his made up house robbery, the detective seems to be against tom knows he is a bad fella probably thought he crack or mess up

[Perdita]

I know but it in my opinion it would make more sense for the poilice to hang on and wait before confronting suspects with unconfirmed information...

[ccahill2]

Nicola was on fire today. Every word out of her mouth was perfection. It's nice to see a strong woman with a strong brain. At least for this story.

Jimmy is an absolute dunce for staying home with Tom over his wife and kids. You'd think he'd at least set Tom up in a flat outside of that house and respect his wife's boundaries.

The children aren't safe with Tom. And for that matter, neither is Nicola. There's no telling what he might do.

[Son of Cain]

Hope Mack is going to get Ross to fix the hole in the barn roof.

[Son of Cain]

It still never seems to have been acknowledged that it was really Cathy who was responsible for the crash.

Yes Jimmy is thick. Tom should not offer to move out, he should just move out and keep away. The fact that he is allowing the family to split should tell Thick Jimmy everything he needs to know

[johntrevor]

Bob mentioned a while ago that she had gone to stay with brother Scott, and what an absolute loser he was.

[ccahill2]

Absolutely this!

[Snagglepus]

Why have the Dingles not had a reading of Zak's will, are they not interested in its contents?

[lizann]

does rodney live with jimmy and nicola

[ccahill2]

I am hoping the sleezy attorney throws the trial and ends Tom's reign.

I wasn't surprised at all that Tom was behind his own beating. I'm surprised that he didn't blame it on Angelica.

In honor of Halloween, I bestow a costume dunce cap on Jimmy. I was loving him getting testy with Tom and then he fell right into his hands.

And this may not be popular to say but I felt more in those moments with Ross and Charity than I have felt in a year of Charity with Mack.

Charity cheats with Ross. Charity and Mack break up. Charity reunites with Vanessa. The random rejoices. Yawn :(

I really hope this was not an attempt to add more mystery, suspense or drama, because if it was it failed. It was obvious that Tom was behind the smashed windscreen and and the beating, if it had knocked some sense into him it would not have been so bad.

I really hope this was not an attempt to add more mystery, suspense or drama, because if it was it failed. It was obvious that Tom was behind the smashed windscreen and and the beating, if it had knocked some sense into him it would not have been so bad.

Only Jimmy never thought it could be Tom... for a businessman (ok, he has lost a few but) he really is not the sharpest tool in the box but maybe he just does not want to believe that he is like the rest of the King family.. liars, cheaters, killers.....

did mack call the cops so he could steal the money?

tina just reminds me of rose and her style is dreadful, old tina dressed sophisticated and was a match for kim, they went toe to toe

why does vinny call her aunty tina, is cain marlon chas and sam, also uncle and aunty by vinny

[Son of Cain]

Was this story written by a five year old, because it makes no sense at all. - Did Mack call the police? When John arrived he said he heard someone calling them from the road. Someone? Who? A random passerby? Then he said the police may have got a fix on the livefeed. - Are we meant to believe Jade, who forced Ross and Billy to fight because she lost money, would leave a minion to pick up the money, instead of taking it herself, it would only have taken a few seconds. - How thick is Billy, who was only fighting for the money, then let's pride get the better of him because he does not want to lose? - Billy has a large bruise on his forehead, one of the strongest parts of the skull, while Ross wearing thin mitts has no damage to his hands. Evan professional boxers break their hands when punching to the head with bare knuckles. Ross is supposed to be an experienced fighter, and yet that wild swing that he took at Billy shows him to be a novice.

[Son of Cain]

So Ross,"The Monster", is beaten up by Jade's minions, something tells me maybe, he should change his occupation.

And sadly I suspect that Jade will be nabbing family members in order to get her money back.

It did not look to be that much money, not exactly a sack or a suitcase full, just a fairly small pouch. Presumably it would have included the prize money for the boxers, so she would have given that away anyway. If they were charging to view on-line, that money would not be lost, so it seems a lot of fuss about not very much. Anything she does to recover the money must surely increase the chance of being nabbed by the police?

Yes Tina sold him then did a runner to Ireland. Mandy brought him up loved him as a son and turned him into the man he is today with his own scrapyard business. He should have told Tina to do one and that Mandy was his true mother.

[ccahill2]

I could see Vinny being upset that he wasn't told this earlier, but I don't really get why he is mad at Mandy who loved him unconditionally and raised him as her own out of pure love. I could absolutely understand his feeling of abandonment from his bio mom Tina, but he seems to be putting his anger into the wrong bucket.

It might be drama but is it good drama, I think not. If it was just now and again it would be OK, but very little in Soaps now is realistic. I sometimes long for the days when drama was when Jack and Joe would argue about which barn to use for lambing.

[Son of Cain]

Did Cain, a non smoker, buy that lighter specially to burn the caravan? I always wonder if, people who are smokers, have to go and buy a new lighter, after throwing it into a building to set it alight. Perhaps I am too mean to throw it in, I would use it to light a piece of paper to start the fire.

Was this the best way to get rid of Tina. Now that she has no where to live, will she not just move into the house?

I almost feel that this Tina change in character is a Rose 2 story. She strikes me as a very similar type of character, which makes me wonder whether the first actor wanted to move on, so they created one to finish out the story that they hoped to tell, just changing the target family.

Lack of imagination by the writers. Why can they not write an episode based on reality for a change instead of more faux drama. I simply do not believe Cain would behave like this, even though he is a hothead. It is as if Soap's are trying to normalise behaving badly to doctors and nurses. And then they could not resist adding a dreamlike fantasy with Holly, although I suppose people in hospitals do experience such hallucinations. Were we suppose to think Holly was inviting Moira to cross over but she pulled back at the last minute. Personally I found this a disappointing episode.

[ccahill2]

Wow what a terrible episode. It didn't maintain truth to the characters and seem to have been written just to shock us. Two thumbs down.

Disappointed that the writers have gone down the same route as the Tom and Belle storyline which was supposed to be about abuse and not the escapades of Darstadly Tom.

Do the side effects start immediately? I would have thought it would be at least 5 minutes before they occur, giving time to take it, and dispose of the packaging before entering the house. Especially if you are trying to keep it secret, it also makes it easier to be caught out, if you put the package in the top of your kitchen rubbish bin. Or you could burn it in the sink and flush away the ashes.

It made me laugh when Ross grabbed Will, not from behind, but face to face and tried to throw him in the back of the van. Will a man considerably heavier than him, then when he punched Will in the head, shook his hand in pain.

I was surprized that Tom was not remanded when he was arrested on Wednesday, to appear in court yesterday. Or if Belle or Amelia had told the police about him taking the top, then he would have been arrested for breaking his bail conditions. But then of course then Belle would not have had the final opportunity to have him arrested at the ferry port, or us to see him shouting and struggling with "PC Tinker".

I think that she is now so afraid of him that she acted in a way so that he wouldn't hurt her again. She now sees who he is.

Yesterday had Jimmy doing an amazing job of showing all his conflicting emotion as he realized the truth, his complicity, and how he also bullied Belle. He is some actor! It was a standout performance.
Now, I'm hoping that Amelia will apologize to Belle and I'd like to see her offer testimony at the trial that I hope we have.

I love how Belle's ingenuity is what took down Tom. I enjoyed the show so much that I watched it a second time. I wanted to focus no how Belle got that phone into Tom's bag, or wherever she put it.

[ccahill2]

Little sissy Tom is whining how it's not safe for him in prison, but that's directly analogous to what life was like for Belle. She wasn't safe in the prison that he created for her.

Somethings can never be made alright or forgiven. Steph is not trying to make things better for Ruby, I think she is doing it for herself. I am pretty sure this is going to be an abuse story, there have been hints.

I think that Ruby is trying to protect her daughter from the truth. I suspect she's also trying to protect Caleb as well

She will of course fail to do so...

With Emmerdales fascination with gangster stories it is a pity they are so bad at them. They really are stretching believability too far. Jade must know by now now that Ross did not take the money, but still she persists. If Ross could find ?10,000 that easily, I doubt he would have been getting his brains scrambled in illegal boxing matches in the first place. For all she knows the police may have it, and if she is worried about her reputation she could simply spread that story. Are we really meant to believe that her thug, would throw a 15 year old schoolgirl, of a public multi storey car park just because she told him to. That a man who works for wages would risk a life sentence to please her. That he would commit murder in a place that probably has CCTV and or number plate recognition at the entrance or exit, it must have been a quiet day in Hotton when no one noticed teenage girl being dangled off a car park roof. That Mack, who when he was introduced to us, had overpowered Cain and put him in a car boot, stands there and let the female thug hit him in the mouth. That Ross, a supposed hardman, would not retaliate against her and her thugs in some way. I doubt Jade wants a war. Mike Tyson said "Everyone has a plan until they get a punch in the mouth". Would Jade's continue if facing similar threats, she is only getting away with it because Ross is letting her. Alternatively Ross could simply disappear then Jade would have nothing to gain from carrying her threats. The episode started with a montage of sad and miserable characters but when we got to the multi storey I found it to be comedy relief.

Just had thought while posting the above, how do thugs like Jade's get paid. Do they get an hourly rate, a weekly wage, an annual salary or a bundle of cash every now and again. However it is, it must be a lot, to throw a schoolgirl of a roof.

I had to google 'rapprochement'.

As crazy as last night's episode was, I have to say that April is one of the better actors for the younger cast. Those tears were real.

Yes, they were and so were mine watching it...

Curiosity has got the better of me, so I have to ask who used the word "rapprochement"?

They seem to be setting up a whole killed Ross story.

i hope not, mack is as much to blame as ross even more as he took the money endangering moses and april

I actually agree, Lizann. Although he was wrong to tell April about her mother's suicide, it happened in an organic manner. Ross was really the hero of the day and Mack was completely to blame.

It's interesting. I didn't know Ross from the past and liked him from the start. I liked how he didn't have ego and agreed to throw the fight to help Billy get out of the mess he was in, without getting killed. I like how he came through for April as hard as it was for him to revisit that location. I don't understand why he is comfortable going upstairs with Steph while her parents and grandfather are one story below, but it was a fun soapy scene that made me laugh.

Went back and found it, missed it when I first watched. Learned a new word here, but not sure I will ever use it.
