Emmerdale Spoilers 3rd to 7th of August 2015 - Big Disaster Crash Clearout

[Serena Williams]

I haven't heard anything about James and Dan leaving, only Val, Alicia and Rachel (again.) I hope Jai is on the list but instead it could be of his making, designed to get rid of Rachel with the rest 'collateral damage'

I think Alicia will die as she's in the trailer I think so must return with David over the business with the shop. I can't see them bringing the two back together only to split them up.

I also expect that Val will live (her departure scenes have already been filmed and she could quite easily go to prison for her part in the fraud.) This producer brought back Val previously so must be a fan of the character and I can't see her killing her off.

Starting to wonder if Robert will be one of the surprise deaths. He is due a comeuppance and assuming that the actor had been contracted for a year and had chosen not to renew, his contract would be up soon.

I don't think it's Vanessa, Kirin or Rakesh as I haven't heard anything on when the DNA test lie will be discovered, so assume that that's still a way off. To do it with Rakesh already dead would be a cop out, I think.

There had to be a reason Kirin, Pryia and Rakesh were in the fire I think Vanessa will lose the baby.

If Vanessa does lose the baby, I hope it is not before Rakesh gets found out

Yes -if they are willing to pay contracted
salary to the actor to the end of contract.**

They could only terminate the contract
and not pay if the actor was in contravention
of their part of contract.Some form of
unacceptable behaviour/ not turning up
for work etc. If the actor thought the employer
was unjustified -they could take legal action?

I dont think it will- but same could happen
to Jai. He has said he is staying and has new
contract. But they could pay him and not
use him for full length of contract or
condense his contracted number of episodes
into shorter time.Depends how contract has
been worded? Not very likely tho?

**I suppose actor could claim they have been
deprived of opportunity to further their career
by making fewer appearances.
But they could get other work (and pay) for
same period or just have a paid holday.
Depends on any restrictions in contract.!

has a pregnant character ever been killed off vanessa be no loss for me

The actress who plays Emma said she signed a one year contract. But can the show kill a character off yet still pay the actor a salary?

Sorry your quote seems to have
become detached from it ,Serena!!

I presume they can. I would guess that EastEnders bought Hetti Bywater out when Tredwell-Collins wanted to kill off Lucy, but it may be different in this case. This producer has been around for a few years so presumably could forward plan in the contract department (contract only for six months; pay by appearance) rather than buying them out so close to the start of a one year contract.

[Perdita]

Any contract can be terminated, either in mutual agreement or the other party can be paid off

Does anyone know please when the
"clearout" or "disaster" is meant to
be happening?

I thought it was at or soon after Debbie &
Petes wedding? The latest spoilers are for
week to 31/07 and in those it mentions
Ross threatening the wedding!!But not the
actual wedding date.?

P.S. Think Ive read an interview with actor
who plays Dan recently where he said
they had been filming some exciting scenes
but cant remember him saying when they
would be shown.

I remember reading in more than one place where the scenes were expected to be seen early to mid August. I guess the spoilers for the first week in August will be telling, especially if they are vague.

Here in NZ we are catching up to the UK rather quickly, as we see 9 episodes a week. We're currently sitting 6.5 weeks behind, and should be seeing the early August episodes in early September. It's the closest we've ever been, and in previous years when there's been a big summer or October storyline, we've had to wait months to see it. As far as I am aware the TV channel that screens Emmerdale is hoping to catch up to the point where we are a week or so behind. When that happens, being able to participate in spoiler discussions here will be so much easier because we won't be so far behind the plot!

on storylines.

in Yorkshire TV area.I only saw it when I
