Emmerdale need to tighten up their story lines. They drag them out for far too long, especially the better ones. But, viewers are getting bored and a lot of people are complaining just like you. For example, the Lachlan stuff was good but has been spoilt as it has been dragged out. This has been going on ever since IM took over. So, now that he has gone, I'm hoping things improve.
Another trait from IM is a huge lack of attention to detail. Too often characters forget their own recent history and personality. Again, I'm hoping that this will change with IM's departure.
There has been some good stuff in recent weeks, like the arrival of Ryan. Matty is not working too well for me but I'm going to give the character a chance as he is so new. The weakness being that having made a huge fuss about his history, it now seems that it has been forgotten and he is just another straight male looking for 'fit birds' (his words, not mine). A similar thing happened to Joe Tate, the Ross acid attack and elsewhere.
PS - I live in outer north London which is quite a long way from the Notting Hill carnival in west London. I've never been and would never go. I hate it.
