Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

Funny how Robert's eyes were opened almost as soon as he was back in the village.

Mack saw right through him too until the slurry leak.

Exactly how many thugs does Joe have on speed dial, ready to do his bidding?

Why didn't the police check for finger prints on the fork or take samples of the blood in the barn? Instead, they asked Joe and he denied it, so case closed.

Why did Moria let them go, she had a gun. She should have made them sit down and called the police. Then she and Cain have the cheek to criticise the police.

Dawn off to London, Kim in Dubai but Joe has Sam and Lydia and his henchmen

If Joe has that many thugs on call, why did he not get some of them to see off Shaun and Doctor Crowley?

Check local hospitals for man with pitchfork injury? Pitchfork in the leg in a barn with all sorts of germs must be a high tetanus risk.

I expected her to tell them to remove their masks with threat of gunfire, and hold them until the police got there, but instead she just let them go, identities unknown. Well, at least one of them has an identifying injury, should he turn up.

Yes - It is beyond belief that she did not ask them to remove their masks, if only so she would recognise them again. But to let them go, is beyond stupid. If she was scared they would overpower her, she should have told them to unbuckle their belts, and drop their trousers to their ankles. Men do not run or fight well, trying to hold up their trousers with one hand.

All logical and in real life, more than likely would have happened like you describe but not dramatic enough for soapland and now we need to go through a Dingle fallout ....

I do not mind them dragging it out with a bit of drama and mystery, but please present it to us in a credible way, not this old tosh. When Moira was asking PC Swirling what the police were going to do, he really should have turn to her and said "why did you let them go, when you were holding them at gun point".
It was not as if Moira deliberately hit Lydia if you step between someone trying to hit someone else, you are likely to get get punched in the face.

I agree but then I am not a scriptwriter ..
