Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[Son of Cain]

I am beginning to wonder if Celia and Ray are portraying a realistic picture of how drug dealers operate. We have seen Ray paying other teenage lads, but usually only for helping him ensnared April into working for him. Why doesn't he just use these lads to deal the drugs? Now we see Ray moving into sex trafficing pimping April to a man who buys a small amount of coke, where is the benefit to him in doing this? I am not a drug dealer, but I would imagine it is better to keep it simple, the more complicated it is, the more people involved, the greater the chance of getting caught.

I have lost track about who knows what Joe did, do Jimmy and Nico know?

Charles is vicar, it's what vicar's do.

No, I don't think Dylan knows - yet.

were they at Lydia's party, it was talk of the village too

Knowing how popular Joe is, do they really expect us to belive no one would have reported him? The Dingles could not because of what happened to Athony but what was to stop someone else doing so.

I still do not understand why Nico, Charles,Claudette or Liam would not spill the beans, joe does not exert any control over them, that I can see. It is highly unrealistic that a major incident in a small village, and no one talks about it.

jimmy or nico should have asked joe about the crash he caused killing 3 and kidney stealing , how are these forgot about

why has charles taken in kev

does dylan know april is being pimped out?

I have gone back and looked at Lydia's party again, when the police turned up Joe convinced them he was on a flight to the States at the time of the crash, and that he did have a kidney transplant in Chicago, so apart from the dingles the rest of the village seem to have accepted this story. So it would not be appropriate for Nico to ask about the limo crash as she does not believe he was to blame.

Did the police not check up his story? He probably had a fake flight ticket but surely he should have provided paperwork from a hospital in Chicago regarding the transplant...

Didn't his bent doctor arrange it ?

When the police came to the party to question Joe, he showed them a plane ticket on his phone. They seemed to accept this as proof he was not in the country when the limo crash occured. Though I think they did say they would have to verify this, if they, did I think it must have happened of camera. When people asked to see if Joe had a scar to prove whether he had a kidney transplant or not, it was Kim who said he did, but the operation had taken place in the States. I suppose Joe or his dodgy doctor must have managed to produce some dodgy paperwork to substantiate these claims, but again, I think off camera. Most people seemed to accept that Joe, while not exactly innocent, was not guilty. So apart from the Dingles and Manpreet no one in the village knows what Joe has done, and they cannot say anything.
Unless a character is leaving their sins can never fully exposed. Personally I think major characters should be exposed more often and be seen to be punished. I never used to believed that what was seen on TV affected what happens in real life, but now I am not so sure.

Not sure why the first two posts were quoted, I did not select them on this occassion. Must be a carry over from my previous post. Took three attempts to post this, first two simply disappeared suddenly, so just glad I was finally successful.
