Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

Celia renting the farm must have past me by. But I think this is becoming a common fault in modern Soap's. In the old days of Jack, Joe and Annie new characters were introduced with more of a fanfare and some gossiping in the pub. Nowadays they can slip in almost unnoticed with merely a short sentence of mention, or even worse, off camera. Turn away and you miss it, and are confused for quite a long time after.

Its a crying shame that they have moved so far from the good old days of Jack, Joe, Annie, Amos, and the like, to a place somewhere more in keeping with Victor Meldrew's "I don't believe it".
