Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

Colin said he had been fired from his job as a councillor, being a councillor is not a job it is an elected position, for which they can claim expenses but do not get paid a salary.

Another poorly written contrived situation.

It's sadly the same with all soaps. Some luvvie thinks up an outlandish storyline in some upmarket wine-bar over lunch. Realism doesn't enter into the equation nor do they think of a realistic outcome.

In Dan's case real police would never have taken him to court so soon especially when the victim was at deaths door in a coma. They would have waited until they had a more definite prognosis about the chances of the victim.
