Sigh ... here we go, Leyla kicking off in court .. sigh
It is compulsory in every soap trial for someone to kick off in the gallery causing the judge to warn them and then kick them out.Quote:

We have had Meena smirking throughout.
It might just be me but it always seemed that Meena was absent or late for work. Wendy never seemed to notice this.
Criminal trials in soapland are always a farce...Quote:

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

Meena needs to be killed off to prevent any possible return.
Her prison guard doesn't look to be a full shilling, maybe he will kill her if he finds she's been playing him.
or she kills him and gets charged with 5 murdersQuote:

A childish script right to the end, well I hope that was the end.
what a pile of complete ****e, where was leyla, manpreet could have tried to throw over the dock, where was vinny
charles is useless
panto meena gone but for how long
stupid belle with al
good part was cain faith and marlon
That has to be the worst episode ever of Emmerdale. Female prisoner brought to Court by a male officer - who was going to search her? Just her pet prison officer in court - no police - no security. NO SENSEQuote:

Absolute total anticlimax. Where were the CID officers who investigated her crime. One would have expected at least one of them to be present for the trial and certainly the verdict. Total keek
I blame 'Jeff' he failed to cover all exists from the court.Quote:

Anyone here find the "Court Room Terror" scenes of "Violent Threat and Distress" upsetting? Surely they meant to say "Funny". As a comedy "Carry on Courtroom" really hit the mark. So many contrived situations. Did the court really wait for Liam and co to get back before reading the verdicts? Why did Manpreet not escape from the dock when Meena let go of her and turned away? Why were the armed police so far behind in the chase? Did Ian lock the door to the courtyard after after they went out?
Entertainment 10 - Resemblance to Reality 0.
Completely agree so many unanswered questions. but I partly thought it would end somehow like that, with Meena blurting everything out, after all it is Emmerdale, and the police acted as normal, probably had a break and a sandwich on the way down to find MeenaQuote:

Meena needs to be quickly sentenced and sent to the Bad Girls Chokey.
They will probably keep this going until the panto season startsQuote:

Yes Meena seemed to be having virtually the free run of the nick, although the new female copper seems a bit more unimpressed by her than Ian was.Quote:

And Charles, Brenda and Wendy.Quote:

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

Are we meant to believe that Meena murdered people just because she craved attention. The cell she was given seemed to be larger than normal, only time I have seen one where the bed was not against the wall. The bed looked like a large single, not the usual bunk bed.
They are certainly spending money on Liam's allotment, all those brand new railway sleepers, that are certainly not cheap, and what looks like a truck load of gravel. Did he not build a DIY greenhouse out of old plastic bottles, when he started, there seems no sight of it now.
Amazing that when Meanie appeared in the Dock for sentencing she was accompanied by just one male officer. This is a woman who had on her previous visit attempted escape, held people hostage and threatened murder.
Why was she not sentenced for any of the other offences??
True, but unfortunately all the wrong ones.Quote:
