Does anyone else find the Jacob character in Emmerdale really annoying??doesn’t help that the acting is awful

There are plenty of crap actors in soaps. Not sure Jacob warrants his own thread.

We were just watching tonight's episode, actually.

I find him immensely annoying, but my teenage daughter really likes him, and finds him hot!

I couldn't believe the DNR thing - would anybody actually do that?

However, he does appear to be being bullied in the workplace. And his wife treats him horrendously. So I have some sympathy for him.

He over acts imo. Too much emotion and facial contortion. He’s nice looking though.

No idea if the Dr Todd thing is a bullying in the workplace storyline or something more? I still can’t get over how they paired him off with Victoria (with whom he did have some believable chemistry) just to completely ditch that and put him with whiny Sarah.
