Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[Son of Cain]

Just about the most stupid thing Iv'e seen in Emmerdale for a while. John Sugden writing Owen's "murder" of Nate confession on the computer and then putting on gloves to wipe it down to remove all signs of being used. Why didn't he put gloves on first to write the note, then leave the computer still with Owen's finger prints on it. After all it was Owen's computer, so the police would expect to see Owen's finger prints all over it.

Exactly what I thought, not only that, when he got up to leave he walked towards the back door. If he left that way he would have to undo the chain. Hope he remembered to wipe down the front door too. When John came in, did he lock the front door, if not, why did Liam not come in that way. They are becoming very lax with their lack of attention to detail. I presume John drives to appointments in his van, assuming he parks outside why did Liam no see it? Poor show.

He put the chain on when Liam called, so he couldn't come in, but he would have to take it off to get out himself.

The story of Sarah's baby seems to have changed, originally Jacob did not particularly want a baby, but agreed to provide sperm for IVF. Now he says both he and Sarah want a baby and seems to he saying they will raise it together, not that he will be a hands off dad, which was the original plan. Kerry talking like Sarah is definitely going to die soon, when the doctors say it is possibly she could live for years. If Jacob and Sarah are not a couple what happens when one of them meets someone else, or Jacob does not get a job at Hotton General when he finishes training , and has to move away to get a job.

I was wondering about that at first but then John is devious enough to park his van out of sight knowing what he was going to do...

I think sarah changed her mind and wants jacob now a hands on dad

I am not sure he did know what he was giving to do, because when he found Owen he started to phone, presumably for an ambulance, then on second thoughts seemed to realize what an opportunity it was.

Sarah may have changed her mind but did Jacob, or did he feel pressured into it. It is a big commitment, especially if Sarah dies soon after the birth. It is not what he originally signed up for. Reminds me of two children playing mummies and daddies but with a real baby.

But did he not make sure that Owen was on his list of house calls? I think he was contemplating what to do once he found Owen in whatever state... so I can believe he parked his van out of sight, just to be on the safe side??

No, Claudette made a mistake and put his name on both lists, although John did notice this before he left the surgery. He must have hidden his van, otherwise Liam would have seen it, and mentioned it. But I do not think he had already decided to kill Owen, and it was just good fortune, tho' not for Owen, that John found him dead. This is very poorly written, full of plot holes.

Is Emmerdale set in the 1930s with so many people leaving their doors unlocked, and doctors making house calls. I thought doctors stopped visiting in the 1960s or 70s, except for a very few very vulnerable patients, certainly not an otherwise physically fit young man.

They changed their plan when discussing growing up without a parent and not wanting their child to experience that. Jacob agreed to be all in.
