James Thornton leaving including huge stunt

Maybe the writers/producers don't want to make it too realistic as young children might be watching and John would have been drugged up to his eyeballs with painkillers, would he have felt pain when Moira was leaning over him?

he would have been so drugged up he wouldnt have coherently made sense or spoken to her? I can understand it is before the watershed, so you have to 'pretty' it up a little, but doesnt it give a false impression that all hospitals and treatments are lovely and clean and we all die by flatlining after saying goodbye and a tender moment across the sheets...

Don't you think that most of us realise that this rarely happens in reality?

yes of course..

maybe its because this is 'my field' that I feel a little protective and get annoyed when it isnt portrayed true to life

Emmerdale's Natalie J Robb has confessed she'd love to see her character smiling again.
Moira Barton had a difficult few months coping with marital strife and infidelity before losing her farmer husband John in a car accident.
Now Natalie wants some uplifting storylines for grieving Moira, who had just rekindled her relationship with John before the crash.
"I've done my bit of crying now. I've cried a lot for John," she said.
"It would be nice to have some happy times for Moira - it's nice to be happy!"
But Natalie admitted she wasn't sure what lay ahead for her character on the soap.
"Who knows. They don't tell me anything. And actually, the things that they come up with I don't want to know. I just read the page and go and do it."
The actress, 37, said she was missing her former co-star James Thornton, who played John, "terribly".

Getting rid of Hannah,Adam and Holly should cheer her up. Maybe Dan might fancy his chances ?

The 37-year-old actress - who stars as Moira Barton in the ITV1 drama - will soon begin a romance with farm worker Alex Moss, played by 21-year-old Kurtis Stacey.


Speaking about the first romantic scenes between the pair, she told The Daily Record: "He starts taking his top off in the house and there's a lot of torso showing. It's not a bad body, I have to say, and I'm getting paid to look at it.

"Moira thinks he's quite sweet, and when he splits up with his girlfriend she starts to fancy him."

The actress revealed that she found it strange kissing Stacey throughout their scenes together.

"It's not because he is young, more the way he kissed me. I thought, 'Right, you've been thinking about that, sunshine'. He just went for it.

"The *producer said to me afterwards, 'I can't believe I'm putting this on at 7pm'. He said the scenes looked fantastic but he was worried about the *watershed."

Robb explained that she often dates younger men in real life, but not as young as co-star Stacey.

"They're *getting younger as I'm *getting older but you're as old as the man you feel! I'm not talking a massive age gap... possibly six years tops. I probably looked older when I was 22 than I do now.

"Age isn't an issue to me. I don't know why Harry from One Direction gets so much *criticism for *dating older women. He's enjoying life and maybe he just prefers girls who are older.

"He's a little bit young for me though - he's what you call just out of the wrapper."

Robb added that she has no plans on leaving the soap in the near future, saying: "As long as they're happy with me and I'm happy, then why change it?

"It's a lovely place to work and I'm still really enjoying it. And you know why!"
