Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[Son of Cain]

Amy really is a hypocrite tearing into Moira like that. It seems she still sees herself as a victim instead of taking responsibility for her own actions. You would think that while not condoning Moira's behavior she would be a bit more understanding of her situation. Mind you Moira also seems to be adopting victim status, blaming Nate for everything. She was quick enough to jump into bed with him and only really made half hearted efforts to end it. While Nate seems to think that by apologizing to her everything will be OK. Not a storyline I have found very convincing and unfortunately looks like it could run on a while longer if Cara is introduced.

The whole storyline is pointless - why are they giving Cain, and by extension the Dingles, yet another long lost child? There's no way they can build a proper relationship with Cain and Nate; in fact even if Nate had turned up and introduced himself properly it would still have been difficult for someone like Cain to bond with him at that stage.
And the revelation that Faith had already abandoned her kids yet turned up to interfere in Cain's life then presumably disappear again is a bit of a retcon.

I am betting that however unlikely we may think it is, that if Nate sticks around, though I don't know why he would even think of it, we will see him and Cain become closer, just as Cain accepted Kyle after his initial rejection. From the writers point of view if it worked once, why not again? Saves thinking of something new.

Honestly, they should rename the show "Dingledale". It's gotten very ridiculous especially for a family that wasn't intended to be around this long. These so-called producers need to go. I even think that I could do a far better job (even though I'd be the youngest soap producer). ITV clearly sees that people are watching the show and it turns enough profit... But if they were on their precious Coronation Street then it'd be a different story. Meanwhile, they would have been long gone if they had worked on Hollyoaks as Channel 4 seems to be the only one who actually cares about making good content at the moment.

Does Debbie know about Nate?

If Charity has money from the scam robbery where is it?

[Son of Cain]

Another poorly written crime story. In what world would anyone give Mandy Dingle a job as 'Head of Security' at a chain of casinos. Card counting is not illegal, casinos may see it as a 'crime' because it changes what they want to be a 'game of chance' into a 'game of skill', but they would have no right to ask for the money back, altho' they do ban people they catch doing it. I would think the days when casinos were mostly run by gangsters are over and that the authorities are much stricter in who they grant licences to now, in the fifties and sixties they may have sent people to the 'arbattoir' but I don't think they would get away with that now. I was hoping Mandy would go on the run and disappear but unfortunately it looks like she will be staying for a while.

The casino scenes were ridiculous. I don't mind when they do something a bit different, such as Ashley's dementia episode or the motorway pile up where James Barton was killed, for example, but the Ocean's Eleven tone was embarrassing. And Charity as "Red" was stupid too - when did she find the time to hang out in a casino like that, with all the other storylines going on?

What the eck was Tuesdays double bill all about. Were the writers on Doug's weed. Pathetic.

I liked Graham as the Phantom of the Opera - he's far more suited to that role than Jamie is. And it was a nice coincidence that both Rhona and Andrea were in the same Christine outfit, from "Wishing you were here again".
