Emmerdale - Current Episode Discussion - III

[Dennis tanner]

Why would Laurel take her suitcase from the taxi and pay it off when she got to Colin's house. It should only have taken a few minutes to collect the passport, if Colin was at home. It he was not she would have to call another taxi and wait for it to arrive.

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.

All true.

Laurel is a fool. She should have told them to go on holiday to Blackpool.

I thought that was very strange that Laurel let the taxi go.

Wouldn't it have been easier if Marshall simply ordered a replacement passport?

Expecting Colin to co-operate was very silly.

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.

Takes months these days to get a replacement... Civil Servants went on strike for 5 weeks earlier this year, if I remember correctly...

The Police act on the instructions of the CPS. Getting an early plea to GBH without intent is a bit sly really.

Things have obviously changed since my young day. Emmerdale "justice" must move at lightening speed. Local peelers must have a very big workload.

Amelia didn't take much convincing to leave Noah behind. The kidnap has already gone on for too long.
