Anyone fancy a bit of Emmerdale chat?

I love the show, but at the moment everyone in it seems to be driving me a bit mad with their whinging and I need someone to bitch about it with as DP won't let me bitch to him whilst we watch it grin

So, I'll start off - Ashley is a whiny wet sop and I will be furious if Laurel really does go back with him. He needs a good slap in the chops for the way he is behaving like a spoilt brat.

<sigh> There. That felt loads better!

Agree about Ashley, did he believe Laurel when she was concerned about Sally... No!
Why does Edna wear a hat indoors ?

FloydieDoydie Tue 24-Jan-12 15:42:52

<sighs in relief at a reply>

Now thats exactly what I said! I hated mad Sally too though grin

DP reckons it's because apparently the actress has really long beautiful hair and it wouldn't suit the character. hmm I'm not sure about that. Although I was shocked when he pointed out that she was the slutty sister in Keeping Up Appearances! shock How totally different can two characters be?!

Another one I'm bored of now is the moody Aaron thing. Yawn.

I've been watching Emmerdale for a while now and it's become my favourite soap. However, I can't work out the Dingle family connections - can anyone enlighten me?

Olbasoil Tue 24-Jan-12 19:56:06

Aaron I can cope with, however, that new teenager who lives in Nicola's old cottage with his mum, her girlfriend and is little sister needs a smack !

The Dingles are complicated
they are either married to each other, half sisters/brothers, cousins 6 times removed and hangers on!

FloydieDoydie Thu 26-Jan-12 20:36:35

I agree with you that the new family are a bit hmm It's just mini Aaron!

Andy making soppy cow eyes at Debbie is making my hand itch to smack him round the chops. He's was the same when Katie was just being nice to him.

I knew it would be John and Chas next!

Oh and Hannah - grrrrr.

I do love Emmerdale though! Sad to see it's not more popular on here though sad

Loved the wedding! Thought Debbie looked rough and amused at Charity's crying! Loved Jai when he said "O god, its Alice Cooper". Bit of a crush on Jai's brother. Very OCD, but nice to look at. Jenny has very strange eyebrows? Felt wee bit sorry for Cain. I try to catch this as much as possible but usually end up seeing the last 5 minutes of an ep 3 x a week. Luxury tonight as saw it all!

Fo0ffyShmo0ffer Thu 26-Jan-12 21:18:41

Debbie, bloody awful Debbie. One expression. The gamut of emotions from A to B. They need to get rid.

FloydieDoydie Thu 26-Jan-12 21:31:29

Yup, Debbie is either narky or full on strop. No other option! This baby story is grating a little too.

Yes, I laughed at the Alice Cooper line too - poor Jai isnt wise marrying her.

DP pervs over moat of the women in Emmerdale but always says he can't work out of Jenny is good looking or not - he says she has something odd about her face. Will ask him if it's her eyebrows. I love her wardrobe though - quirky is more my style than the long tresses and tiny dresses of a lot of the village bikes womenfolk grin

Oh, yes, new family are dreadful. Cliched and vile.

Felt sorry for cain too, when he grabbed charity's hand... <Sob>

Moira is just chas without the stripper pole. They look so alike I did mini-voms when she was shagging cain.

Loved the wedding though.n waiting for nikhil to go into fullblown ED/OCD mode.

Fo0ffyShmo0ffer Fri 27-Jan-12 15:42:49

Chas and John? There's something brewing I think.
Then afterwards chests at dawn between Chas and Moira. Chas will pulverise hergrin

WotWot Fri 27-Jan-12 15:55:47

Whats the story with Cain then? One minute he's in hospital knocking on deaths door, the next he will take months and months to recover. Now, he seems quite able to get about on crutches. Will he be miraculously cured and back to being mobile and fit in a few weeks?

Jenny - check out her eyebrows tonight. VERY high. Also, has a strange mouth. NOT ugly, just a little.....odd.

Vicky08 Fri 27-Jan-12 19:15:46

I haven't seen Emmerdale in the last few weeks. Has the ID if Cain's attacker been revealed? Who is it?

Fo0ffyShmo0ffer Fri 27-Jan-12 20:32:45

DH thinks Jenny looks like one of the Muppets.

Vicky - it was his Dad, Zak

Olbasoil Fri 27-Jan-12 21:15:52

My money is on Moria.... she could knock Chas for six !
Jenny is just, well, strange, and she slept with Bob [shocked]
I really thought Amy's baby would be a match for Sarah and Cain would have to grovel to Amy to get on her right side again

Caramellatteandchocolate Fri 27-Jan-12 23:39:45

Having just watched tonight's episode does anyone else cringe over the Debbie and Andy storyline. He reminds me of someone I was met and just constantly hounded me, think he could become a stalker!

Plus am I the only one who hates Debbie's hair such in that horrible centre partin with the dark roots?

Sorry for the Debbie bashing!

Love the show along with corrie and eastenders.

Who was the slutty sister in keeping up appearnces ??

Caramellatteandchocolate Fri 27-Jan-12 23:54:36

Edna I think!

Hi can I join in? I love emmerdale! And I was in Harrogate at the council offices when they were filming the wedding!!!! I was sooooo excited!!! gringringrin

I have to agree though about Debbie bloody dingle. She seems to have two default settings, miserable, or sullen. What a catch?! hmm

FloydieDoydie Sat 28-Jan-12 00:31:31

Yup, was Edna! She was the replacement Rose

I was soooo creeped out by Andy in tonight's episode <shudder>. Plus hmm at him telling Alisha in front of Moira in the shop. I'm wondering how long this pregnancy will take - I'm 5+6 weeks pg myself and due end of September...soap pregnancies never seem 9 months!

We thought the same about the Amy baby storyline too. Would have kid of wrapped it all up nicely. Oh and I'm dying to take a pair of scissors to Debbies droopy hair - get them roots sorted woman and cut it into a bloody style instead of them carpet sweeping curtains! grin

DP agrees Jennys eyebrows are definitely odd - but he says he'd still give her one. I'm getting my own back by lusting over Opie and Jax in Sons of Anarchy tonight though grin

FloydieDoydie Sat 28-Jan-12 00:34:13

<waves to Ethelred> grin

Fo0ffyShmo0ffer Sat 28-Jan-12 07:43:39

Floydie Congratulations grin

Vicky08 Sat 28-Jan-12 09:16:01

Wow, it was ZaK? I didn't see that coming! Another one here who thinks Debbie needs to do something to her hair and to her personality also wouldn't hurt, she gets on my nerves and has she ever smiled?

<waves back at floydiedoydiegrin>

Yes, I think even by soap standards announcing your pg to the village the day after you POAS seems over the top. Let's see if baby dingle arrives after ours do floydie or some time in the summer!!!!

And as for debbie's hair, she almost looks older than her mother. It is soo unflattering!

oh, yes. Debbies hair. worst advert for extensions since Jennifer met Bruce
