Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

I think the fact he did not kill Mack nor the deer is to show that John really is no killer, Nate was an accident, John just wants to be the hero by rescuing people and animals (he saved a dog as a child according to the newspaper article in the frame in his old bedroom). He said that he cannot stand anyone suffer. He will probably be diagnosed with Hero Syndrome when he gets found out which I hope will be before anything happens to Mack....

Don't know if I would describe John as not really a killer, I think he is about half a step away from being a crazy seral killer. We know nothing about what he did during his army career, and what actually happened to Aidan.

As far as we know he only killed Nate and that was an accident. Aidan suffered a heart attack, we never saw if John managed to inject his drip... I think he could not do it and we never really found out if Aidan died from the heart attack?? I really think John became a medic in the Army so he could help others but he needs the hero aspect to make him feel worthful. I think we have seen enough now of his character so Emmerdale, please bring it to an end now.

The new neighbour is a great find. Very good acting and I really like how she changed her tune when she got to know Moira. I hope it's real, because the two work really well together.

We haven't seen her working on her own farm, what does she do, does she do it single handed.
She did not look comfortable when Moira was telling her about Holly, and her dislike of drugs.
Did she say she had a son? Is it Ray? I don't think I have seen them together.

You might be right, but the way this story is being told leaves a lot to be desired. As for the deer Audio Desscription said the deer "shuddered and falls" after he released the arrow, so even they thought it was dead. As for Mack I doubt John has that good an aim that he could shoot to wound Mack in the shoulder, and the rock, did he bring it down hard, on the ground beside his head. Then as he got in the van to leave the village, he looked at the body and said "I guess I really am the bad guy" It's almost as if they changed their minds and thought, no let's not kill Mack after all. Dramatic twists are OK but they should be believable, this is just ridiculous.

I think the way that Celia has been introduced has not been done well. I get the impression that she has not recently move to the area. Yet we have never seen or heard of her before, in a place like Emmerdale where everyone seems to know each other, and their business, Moira did not know if she was married.
I had not thought Ray could be her son, that would be a believable twist, except her does not look mixed race.

That's what happens when I think ahead of myself, I never thought of that, it was just that they came to our screens about the same time.

Could have been a good idea if they had used another actor. Certainly had more scope than some of their ideas.

She was the woman that owned the dog that attacked Paddy

That's true, she was, but I didn't get the Impression she was new to the area.

Why DID John kill the deer. It is not as if he showed it to Aaron to back up his story about hitting it with the van. He told Aaron he found, it and buried it, but he could have said that without killing it. Unless he thought Aaron might have asked him to dig it up, so he could see it, as proof (very unlikely). The only purpose it seems was to confuse us.
