Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[lizann]

Wondering if all of this trouble between Cain and Moira could lead to Cain having an affair with Ella?

was thinking the same about ella and cain

is that it for samson 4 years which could be more with josh battering

[lizann]

noah should dump amelia and charity tell her to move on, she is very ungrateful

[Son of Cain]

So is that Samson gone? - Because Sam Hall was leaving they had to come up with an exit story, but surely they could have come up with something better? At no time that I remember did Samson say that Josh pushed him onto the knife Matty was holding, neither did Matty ever say that he did not actually stab Samson, that is that he pushed the knife into Samson. I cannot believe that Samson would not have felt such a violent push. If this was known then I do not think that Samson would have been given such a long sentence, and Matty would never have been arrested. Because we did not see the scenes where Samon implicated Josh, or the court scene the writers are able to gloss over the facts.

Has Amelia been taking lessons from Dawn in how to be ungrateful?

[Son of Cain]

Moira's current attitude is not pretty.

This story has lost all credibility. Why hasn't Samson told the police that Josh deliberately pushed him onto the knife Matty was holding, when he was clearing up, so causing his injury. Josh should be the one to get 4 years, not Samson. Seems like the two casualities of this ridiculous case are the ones being punished, and NOT the instigator Josh.

If it did, it was not used in Samson's defence....

So what did Samson confess to ????? That it was an accident??? Then how did it happen? Because some nasty little scrote pushed him... Why did not say that instead of bashing up Josh.. how badly? Did I miss a scene where Josh is shown with another black eye??? Why are soaps so crap at writing exit storylines for their characters...

This is the problem when things happen off-camera. Because we did not see what was said when Samson went to the police station or when he went to court, we are left to draw our own conclusions. I imagine Samson confessed to threatening Matty and maybe trying to rob him, but did not offer any statement in mitigation when he plead guilty in court. This would explain his four year sentence. I think the writers come up an idea for these stories write a beginning and an end, but struggle with some of the bits in the middle, and take the easy way out by allowing important parts to happen off camera. They explain these bits in a few sentences which are suppose to make sense of it all, but rarely do.

We can now look forward to getting back to Tom, the man who borrows a drill but does not borrow any drill bits. What was he doing in Belle's house, fitting secret spy cameras? Or hanging a few pictures.

could she be sick? her attitude and behaviour is out of sorts
