Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[Son of Cain]

After Corrie, Emmerdale always used to be my second favourite soap ... starting to struggle with Corrie at times but certainly Emmerdale is losing ground with me ... I get it that soaps do not want to introduce new characters every 5 minutes but to make existing characters suddenly become involved romantically when before they hardly ever exchanged a greeting in a couple of years or more .. or suddenly they change sexual orientation ... How come that 50 years or more ago they used to be able to write interesting storylines that kept viewers wanting to see the next episode as soon as possible .. still had murders, affairs then but less of them and far more intersting written .. and of course .. much more humour .. Now we have old Kim to repeat what she did 30 years ago throw her weight around with money and threats and bribes... .. a criminal not long out of jail able to throw her weight around and apparently wealthy ..??? Surely after her time in jail she should not have any money? Mabye I am just tired of the same storylines of cheating folk, overhearing conversations they should not .. not watching EastEnders now for 5 or 6 years has shown me that I have not missed one episode, , I do not want Corrie or Emmerdale to go the same way

Believe me Eastenders is much worse than than either Emmerdale or Corrie so you are not missing anything. It has not become obsessed with rubbish gangster stories. Walford must run a close second to Tijuana as the "The Murder Capital of the World"
