Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

This is actually one of the stages of an abuser. They work very hard to isolate the spouse from family and friends to get her fully relying on them and then the abuse progresses through verbal abuse and ultimately physical abuse.

I actually see both Ruby and Tom working to isolate their spouses at this point. The difference is that to me I also see Ruby as hilarious and entertaining and I want to punch Tom through a wall.

Perhaps it's because Caleb is no prize himself and Belle just comes across as sweet and innocent and very naive and completely undeserving of what he is doing to her. In many ways, I think of Belle as a lost soul, and that makes her even more vulnerable.

i do think belle was very lost after lisa despite large dingle family and ellis left tom came at a time she needed attention and company

if the dingles accept caleb, ruby in her outrageous way will accept them, all she has is caleb and nicky

And she is soon to become an orphan.

Yes true. The writers have not yet addressed the passing of Steve Halliwel (Zak)

I think it is roughly six to 12 months or thereabouts before they mention the death of a character after the actor has passed.. Pearl died in July last year and we have just seen it mentioned in the show, Steve died December last year so I guess it could be summer before they will announce his passing. All depends on when the actor's family is in agreement for the character to die, I believe.

No doubt you are right but I find it very strange

It is to give the family time to grieve, quite understandable for me

Not to me. Get it done asap otherwise you might have to grieve twice.

Grieve first so you can cope with memories better

They're probably trying to spread out Tom's destruction of these newer ashes to drag out the story. j/k

Piper dried out very quickly, after being bedraggled in the river? Must have a hair dryer at the vets.
