Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

I actually agree, Lizann. Although he was wrong to tell April about her mother's suicide, it happened in an organic manner. Ross was really the hero of the day and Mack was completely to blame.

It's interesting. I didn't know Ross from the past and liked him from the start. I liked how he didn't have ego and agreed to throw the fight to help Billy get out of the mess he was in, without getting killed. I like how he came through for April as hard as it was for him to revisit that location. I don't understand why he is comfortable going upstairs with Steph while her parents and grandfather are one story below, but it was a fun soapy scene that made me laugh.

NO NO NO. Barton is not a hero. He is a criminal thug and he needs to leave .

It looks like Moira went blonde while having brain surgery.

Where did April get a bottle of vodka, did she get it from home, or steal it. If it was full when she started drinking she had drunk nearly half the bottle, yet did not seem very drunk. She was tackling it like a seasoned drinker. I never seen April as someone who would turn to the bottle.

The idea that because Marlon did not tell her the truth does not mean he lied to her. Is she any better off now she knows the truth. Personally I would have thought she was better off not knowing.

Typical stereotype depiction of someone in stress... get smashed or cheat on your partner or for those old enough, both.... I can understand April's thinking...I cannot remember whether Donna had told her about having cancer or whether she found out after her mum's death but I think if she had been told that Donna killed herself because she did not want her daughter to see her suffer dying a slow death dependant on chemo or whatever treatment they would have offered her, April might have been more understanding rather than thinking her mum did not want to spend more time with her ... difficult decision to make though..

The dynamic between Ruby and her father is so interesting. I think of her as a damaged woman who is always in survival mode, but in last night's conversation with her father, he made demands like 'sit down' and she jumped to do it, just as a child would with a disciplinary parent. It was interesting that a strong personality could revert to child when her father barks a command. I expected her to laugh in his face and tell him that he can't control her any more.

I blame Barton. He's a very bad influence

Terrible drunk acting by Jeff Hordley.
