Really shockingly poor continuity there im afraid. Nobody can defend this awful writing. It doesn't make sense at all.
Are we supposed to think because Rebecca told Aaron where Liv was that all is forgiven?

Robert's money seems to have vanished again as no mention of it, it's all about Aaron and Liv buying the Mill, way to leave out the guy with the half a million.
Is this actually a thing then? Let me guess Andy set it up? My invite must've got lost lol.Quote:

I actually enjoyed the ep but you do have a point about Rebecca. Was strange she sat at the table with the boys & that they're even on speaking terms with her after she tried recently to split them up!! :confused:Quote:

If he's invested so much we should have been told, I just feel that we're being insulted more and more since IM took over. KO had her problems but her stories made sense and the characters were consistent. I think IM is a dud already but will escape too much criticism because of SSW.Quote:

Personally I think she's still up to something just more subtle like trying to make Aaron seem unstable to put Robert off so she can pick up the leftovers, she will fail though.
Hiya, I do worry that Aaron will have handed Rebecca some ammunition to use against him if & when she feels like it with tomorrow's robbery. She's the extra wheel that Aaron would like to get a flat elsewhere & not be near them, while Rob thinks she's no threat & is a misunderstood lovely girl from his past friendship with her.Quote:

I may be wrong but I think she already knew about Aaron's past - Chrissie has possibly told her and this is all part of the Sisterly plan!!
TBH I'm not even sure how much money Liv is supposed to have since Aaron did not want his share. In law she should have his share too since he rejected it but Emmerdale have never cleared that up. I always thought Robert nearly spent the whole lot on the Haulage Business, Emmerdale obviously haven't gone into how much money he actually has right now & that he might be able to get a mortgage. :)Quote:

She clearly has other motives by the way she looked Aaron in the mirror and I just wonder if she actually somehow knew what she was saying. The thing is, if Aaron had said to Robert that didn't want him around her and he still did then that would be bad but Aaron obvs hasn't and even after the Moira jibe he may just let it build up without saying anything. On the other hand it could mean it comes to ahead and they have another big convo.
I thought that might be the caseQuote:

Could be & with Lucy leaving to have her babies in Mid April to May you'd think they'd want to include Chas in her only sons wedding before Lucy goes on maternity leave.Quote:

I think Robert is clueless, the fact that he doesn't explain fully what they were talking about doesn't help.
I think Bex didn't know about Gordon's money, that was only Chas, Charity, Robert and Liz (Aaron of course as well), and I don't think circumstances have happened where it would be shared.
Rob had £500k from the business/divorce, spend £40k on the haulage firm so should have around £460k minimum left we haven't been told he has spent any other significant sum. I am sure Aaron/Liv mean't house for them all.
I am suspicious of the glances of Aaron in the make-up mirror, it just seemed a little sneaky and as if she was up to something.
I am sure all will be revealed but you can see how Aaron will become paranoid about her and Robert, oh have I mentioned I think Robert is clueless, that or the writers have forgotten what happened between Bex/Robert/Aaron where she tried to split them up.
Well I thought that as well, he was quite cute :D:DQuote:

I have no idea how much houses cost there but if the Mill was going to be divided into flats and is completely gutted it will need a lot of money spent after they actually bought it, so would they need the Gordon money and that money from Robert?Quote:

Having said that, I still enjoyed the ep & really liked the Liv/Aaron scenes today!! :)Quote:

Just looked - dereliction and extensive dry rot would make a mortgage unlikely
They are in North Yorkshire, The Mill, in that state, would sell for around £495-595k if in a good state, depending on who is at the auction it may reach around this level but renovations would be extensive and expensive. Aaron and Liv, were they offered £250k each from Gordon's estate? even if its £250k between them all of that would be a significantly large deposit, if Rob matched they could buy the property and mortgage for the renovations, with such a big deposit and both Robron are working most banks would loan without any issues. Actually most banks would loan even if they put just 50% in.Quote:

Could be. BTW I believe Aaron has a scene with Laurel next week regarding Ashley's care. Aaron does have experience of caring for Jackson so that must be why. Actually I think it nice seeing Aaron in a scene with someone he normally doesn't interact with.Quote:

You're so knowledgable, even with that its more than enough with Rob's money and tons left over. :cheer:Quote:
