40th Anniversary Storyline

[Glen1]

Some good moments, Paddy very funny ,Chas,Carl,Gennie, very good.Debbie was OK but that continual birth noise went on too long for me. Marlon topped my poll for the most annoying closely followed by Katy who should have had her head completely submerged in the top tier of the cake and left there. The second tier used for Marlon, Robbie,Cameron and Andy Sugden. Where was Alan Turner ? must be one of the longest serving members of the cast ,perhaps he was unwell. I probably expected too much for the live show ,bit disappointed , could have been condensed into 30 mins imo.

Any scenes with Laurel and Marlon are also pointless, imo.

Well done Emmerdale top episode even though it was obvious and expected I still thought Carl would survive

Emmerdale star Nick Miles has admitted that the loss of co-star Tom Lister feels like a real bereavement.

Lister's character Carl King was killed in the soap's hour-long live episode last week, as Cameron Murray (Dominic Power) delivered a fatal blow to his head with a brick.

Miles, who plays Carl's brother Jimmy King in the ITV1 soap, commented that he feels "very odd" about losing his on-screen sibling.

He told What's on TV: "I shared a dressing room with Tom Lister, and every time I go into work now there's a space that reminds me of the loss.

"It's a funny thing in soap, but when a character dies you kind of feel it a bit like a real death."

Discussing Jimmy's state of mind after Carl's murder, Miles explained: "He's feeling about as low as he's ever felt. The last of his brothers is dead.

"Carl was the loosest cannon, the most unpredictable, but in many ways he was also the brother Jimmy was always closest to. He's feeling very, very bad and wracked with guilt."

He went on to say: "Carl had behaved appallingly towards Jimmy and his own little family - he kicked them all out on the street and was selling the business to Charity.

"And there was still this obsession with Chas. Jimmy was at his wits' end with Carl - there was nothing left to do but smack him."

Lister has previously revealed that he was "thrilled" with Carl's dramatic exit storyline, while Miles also praised his co-stars for their work on the 40th anniversary live special.

Emmerdale's live episode will be investigated by Ofcom following a handful of complaints over its violent content.

Ofcom has confirmed that it has received 18 complaints over the episode. The broadcasting regulator will now assess whether the scenes were suitable for the programme's 7pm timeslot.

An ITV spokesperson told Broadcast: "We are aware that there were a few complaints to Ofcom about the level of violence in the episode. The programme also got very many letters and emails praising it.

"We were very careful to keep the drama within acceptable bounds for pre-watershed scheduling, and the episode was preceded by a continuity announcement that some scenes might be upsetting."

Emmerdale Live was the highlight of the soap's 40th birthday celebrations, pulling in a peak audience of 9.15 million viewers on the night.

The episode saw actor Tom Lister's final scenes in the role of Carl, as his enemy Cameron Murray murdered him shortly after his altercation with Chas.
