Now Laurel and Ruby would be at least more interesting than her and Marlon
What has happened to Chas? She never had the most strongest of morals but jeez...she "feels for Debbie"...well I'm sure Debbie will be touched by that when she finds out her aunt has been sleeping with her boyfriend whilst she is pregnant with a child and has a sick kid. She is coming across as so desperate and pathetic. I have a feeling they are setting this up though so that Cameron is less 'in love' than her and she will lose everything whilst he walks away (after all he's walked away from his wife and his own two kids so walking away from Debbie, Chas and two kids that aren't even his is not a stretch for him)
There is absolutely no logical reason why she should trust him. This will not end wellQuote:

Alicia and David - awwwwwww bless em. Couldn't help but notice that pre nups seem to be the flavour of the week on British soaps!!!!
Gennie and Nikhil - crossed wires, broken hearts, fear of rejection. This couple are a perfect match in my opinion because they both have so many hang ups and quirks which I find quite endearing. We all know it has to come right in the end but bless Nikhil last night asking to talk to David - clearly he doesn't value Jay's opinion as much as his best mate. Like his and David's relationship - just hope it isn't damaged when Nikhil finds out he is best man to a fake wedding. Felt for both of Gennie and Nikhil during the dumping scene. As we all know Amber dumped him, then Maisie dumped him and finally Chas dumped him - I can see why he felt he had to get in their first to make it more of a break idea than a finishing for good idea. And the final reveal from Charity..... yeyyyyyyyyy she finally does something nice for Gennie and Nikhil. Methinks Charity is softening with age.
Val Pollard and the whole Amy birthday thing was so so whatever for me.
Anyway - that's how I saw it all.
I bid you farewell until after this evenings great follow on - cant wait!!!!!
Chas is a deluded idiot Cameron dont love her or Debbie only himself
I lol'd at David saying he had a wedding dress upstairs only worn once by him :lol:
I have never regarded Charity as nasty:love:Quote:

I just wish they would hurry up and be find out. The sooner the better so we can get rid of Cameron.
Tonights emmerdale
Let's put all the Cameron and Chas to one side shall we before I throw up.
Jai and Nikhil's dad - block of wood springs to mind but putting that also to one side it seems Val is as transparent as Cameron's asthma. Trying to make Eric jealous by flirting. I do hope Eric stays with Brenda cos he and Brenda go nicely together - even though Brenda is even thicker than Sam Dingle at times. I quite like her naivety and long may it continue.
Priya - again what is the point of her?????
Lisa and Belle - it don't seem right without Zak there. Bit too much Lisa moaning for me also.
Charity being all sisterly and straight to the point with Nikhil. If it weren't for her Nikhil wouldn't have know Gennie was pregnant until her waters broke - even then he'd have thought it was all those extra carbs pressing on her bladder.
So on to the young couple. Mr and Mrs mixed messages. This couple take one foot forward and fifty thousand feet backwards. Even getting down on one knee he can't do it right. Then again that is in keeping with his obsessions regarding cleanliness. Nice and quirky proposal. Liked it. So sweet when she said yes and it all seemed to be going so well. For once Nikhil thought he couldn't possibly say the wrong thing...... but this is Gennie we're talking about - little hormonal Gennie. So - it's all off even before the ring made a mark on her finger. Come on you two - sort it out - but keep throwing in those curveballs too cos I quite like that about them. This storyline was the only thing that held my attention tonight -
Where is Nicola - funny, one liner queen Nicola. I miss her! Never thought I'd say that. Still Nikhil and Gennie double act fills in all the light heartedness. Like the way this couple are not ever heavy going. A good soap should always have a couple who aren't all high drama and tragedy.
Look forward to tomorrow night now - with anticipation.
Oh before I forget - Cameron and Chas talked about running away again and again and again - YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN JUST GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lisa has been moaning for years.
What did Gennie expect Nikhill to do?
Gennie worried enough that when he found out about the baby he would dump her - so when he does the opposite she gets all upset??!!Quote:

I wasnt keen on Gennie and Nikhill at the start but as a couple they are growing on me if possible they have made each other more interesting imo they were the only saving grace of the storylines at the moment
I cant stand Ali's face always want to throw something at the screen when she is on and I liked her as Yvonne in Shameless
Dont see the point of Priya either
Tonights emmerdale and HOORAY - no wild affairs behind anyone else's back, no depressing garbage to drag us down. Just two main story threads both with lots of humour involved. THAT is what separates Emmerdale from every other soap. The one liners are THE BEST.
So Val, Eric, Brenda and Amy - nice four hander here with a little Victoria help. Quite liked there little "who's going to take out the birthday girl" storyline. Especially love the loyalty Amy gives to Eric. Also she must be one of the few people who can put Val in her place. Let's face it - Val can usually dish it but seh can't take it. Like these characters when they are like this.
A little bit of Lisa, Belle and Sam - that was a nice interlude to break up the main plot of the evening.
Yep - you guessed it. Finally - for once - a major storyline that takes up almost the entire episode featuring Gennie and Nikhil (together and separate) Love the way this played out. Love these two vulnerable characters and think they are my favorite soap couple because even when things are going sooooo wrong - there is still humour. Gennie's comment about BREAD was priceless. Thought his comments about their "son" on his first day at school, winning cross country and starting university were great and typical Nikhil thinking of the cross country as a milestone in his child's life. Also liked her reply "where do I come into this?" Loved to see uptight Nikhil totally lose the plot with Gennie's weekly shop! Some great one liners especially from Gennie but Nikhil's hang ups generate so many of them with his quirks and follibles. There was nothing about their scenes that didn't fit perfectly into how they have always been. Totally consistent characters and the sweetest, quirkiest couple in the village. Only one question: Who cleaned up Nikhil's mess???
So many classic quotes tonight - most of them from the female characters, which is nice.
Some men will slay dragons to prove their love for a woman, some climb the tallest tower, some face trials, some climb mountains and swim oceans, some take out a full page advert in the newspaper but I have never ever heard of a man proving his love for someone by - EATING A SLICE OF BREAD! Brillopads idea........... great writing!!!!!!!
Absolutely loved the episode tonight and thank heaven there was no chas and cameron to put a damper on things. A light, emotional, happy ending was desperately in order when you consider that this cameron and chas thing must be heading to a make or break in the not too distant future.
Great night and hope to see more like this where happiness reigns.
Nice post and Gennie cleaned up the mess while Nikhill was being sick:sick:Quote:

Freaky coincidence or what but I am on a strict diet and big health kick at the moment. I didn't realise that I hadn't eaten bread for a month. Had a sandwich today - wholemeal and took one mouthful but couldn't swallow it cos it was soooooo stodgy. Help - I think I'm turning into Nikhil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay so the hour long emmerdale.
Val and Rishi / Eric and Brenda - It's starting to look like Eric is blotting out what Val did to him and starting to crave the little firecracker once more. Boredom with Brenda appears to be setting in. How long before he breaks her naive little heart? Before or after she's poked his leg with the wooden spoon?????
Rishi's attitude gives a good insight into his two son's. Particularly Nikhil. The whole jumping to conclusions and lack of understanding of women - like father like son.
Jai and Charity. Honestly Jai - so Charity doesn't want to get huge again, she doesn't want to go into labour again and she doesn't want to commit the rest of her life to yet another little Charity offspring. Looking at Debbie and her miserable face - can you blame her??? Jai is being so selfish really. Charity could have lied to him and pretended she wanted one then just done all in a woman's power to NOT get pregnant but she didn't. She was honest with him. Basically in his eyes she can do nothing right of late. BUT had it not been for Charity, Gennie and Nikhil would be on their own and miserable. At least she helped the course of true love - unlike Chas who saw it more of an inconvenience to her own romantic plans.
The Dingles, Lisa, Zak, Sam and Belle and the honorary Dingle nurse. Hoping things start to settle for them soon as we need a little light relief in that quarter. Poor Marlon is the only Dingle with a sense of humour at the moment.
Bridezilla and Paddy - some nice light relief from these tonight with a dash of Marlon and Nicola to add to the mix. YEYYYYY Nicola is back and we had a little tiny cough and you miss it Nicolaism too.
Nikhil and Gennie - well these two are like buses - you don't see neither hide nor hair of em for weeks then they are everywhere - and I love it.
Lots of awww factor from them tonight.
Awww a fluffy toy for baby
Awww Nikhil standing up for himself and Gennie by shutting up the two grandmothers to be and Val.
Awww Nikhil bending over backwards to make everything perfect for her.
Awww a long engagement.
Awww Asking Gennie to move in
Awww Nikhil allowing Gennie to take over most of his wardrobe
Awww scan time soon and a piccie of little sharma/walker
If the above had been anyone else I think I might have thrown up but it kind of works with these characters and the way they have developed. Also - how humungous is Gennie all of a sudden. It appears that as soon as she agreed to marry Nikhil she put on tons of weight. I have a theory that when Nikhil trashed her place the other night with the food everywhere - I think while Nikhil slept off his delirium - Gennie hoovered up the mess - with her mouth!
And finally:
Jai and Charity argue - Rachel (who I have never seen clean the factory before) listens to the row like some kind of secret agent. She does have a tendancy to lurk. I think she might even have the potential to be a bunny boiler. We'll see shall we?????
What a lovely week this has been in Emmerdale - I only wish it could continue in such vein but I feel we haven't quite done with Chas and Cameron's yawning shall we shan't we saga. OH JOY :(
How excellent to see the return of the wonderful Trudie Goodwin to Emmerdale tonight. She's looking better than eer. How I loved her cutting remarks to Val and Brenda.
The blessed St June of Sun Hill
A good read !Quote:

Tonight on Emmerdale
Marlon and Paddy found their relationship had been taken to a whole new level while at Declan's house. The nondescript son of Megan make a comment which led to a classic line "Do I look like a gay Grandad?" Nicola was OF COURSE in earshot for this and as always gave her two penneth. Also loved it when Paddy was feeling sorry for himself and his increasing old age then said he was going to check on his step child only to find he needed a push to get off the sofa. Bless.
Laurel and Sandy storyline was a bit nondescript really. It must be leading somewhere I guess. Only time will tell - Only time and the script will tell.
Lisa and the loan sharks. Oooo aren't they a gruesome twosome NOT. I have seen scarier men in the local branch of my high street bank! Even Belle could take them on. She did it with Nikhil and she could do it with them! For crying out loud scriptwriters - give Lisa something to smile about for once. She has been a right grumpy, miseryguts for a year or so now and it's wearing thin. She's even more miserable than Debbie - and I never thought that level of misery existed...except in Eastenders where it thrives.
Rishi and Georgia - separate, take a break, divorce - who cares! But please - if one of them has to stay in the village let it be Georgia. For one her relationship with the two boys is more interesting. Also - Rishi is dull, boring, lacklustre and more wooden than the horse in the 7.30 at Troy!
The Scan photo - gets it's own category. Awww Nikhil asking his family who would like a copy of the photograph and then when no-one offered he seemed so offended - bless. Nice to see he hasn't changed completely overnight though with his obsession with ensuring Gennie has enough water for the scan - in fact I believe if he could have disconnected and reconnected the kitchen sink - he would have taken that instead.
Nikhil and Gennie (or Lara Croft as I now think of her "Thanks for that Charity!") - his family are a selfish bunch and it was proven more tonight than at any other time. No-one was really in his corner. When you consider that he is going through the most amazing, settled and happy times of his life when he has achieved something no-one thought he would, his family have been a constant let down. Priya is just relieved she is off the hook - a vacuous individual anyway. Rishi and Georgia are far more concerned with one upmanship and point scoring and Jai, the one who should have been there for Nikhil is clearly resentful and bitter. I bet if Jai had been the expectant father things would be so very different all round. It was nice to see bits of Nikhil and Gennie tonight cos I hadn't expected to see them at all. I thought the scriptwriters would think they had had their episode run for a few months. Thanks for the unexpected pleasure of the cutest couple in soap.
Charity and Jai - I initially felt for Jai but now am firmly in camp Charity. Obviously Jai has always got what he wanted in life (except for Mia) but he is behaving like a petulant child. Good on Charity for sticking to her guns over this. It's almost as if Nikhil and Jai are swapping roles in the content and secure, confident stakes.
The last scenes - Rachel and Jai.
Forget all the kissing bits which felt quite awkward and sooooo very wrong. When they were getting drunk I thought they were great and these two characters really should get drunk more often. Especially loved Rachel's likening Nikhil to CP30. Classic. Rachel us a character with potential for a lot of humour and I am gutted there isn't a Rachel and Marlon or Rachel and David pairing on the horizon cos they are two very funny characters and would bring out the fun Rachel.
All in all this was quite a good episode with lots of variety of light and shade. Finally got Mum hooked on Emmerdale cos she never realised a soap could be funny too - she's always been on the dark side or BBC1 Eastenders to use it's other name. Now she is an Emmerdalian in training. Hooray!

i know this is an emmerdale thread but i feel the urge to stick up for the walford soap. i have never bought into the myth ee is depressing and all doom and gloom. fridays ee had some nice humour in it, with denise and zaniab in the minute mart. :rotfl:
why on earth would Rachel - a domestic cleaner - be cleaning a food preparation factory??!!
so all the workers have to wear hygiene related coat, gloves and hats, and Rachel swans around using the duster from the pub??!!
it wouldnt happen at thorntons :)
Is it just me or does Racheal look more dark skinned now,maybe she's just trying to look more like Jai because she's interested in him.
too much fake tan or sunbedding outside the wooly :pQuote:
