AIBU to want Pat to die or does Eileen deserve some happiness?

Eileen is a wet, naive fish. She can't see what Phelan is, despite all the times Anna has told her.

Eileen does deserve happiness but maybe if she stopped being so naive, she would find happiness with someone else!!

Andy definitely should have shouted or ran out last night Angry

What happened to the fireman that Eileen was seeing? Did that just burn out 😂😂🤣

Is there something that says baddies have to get their comeuppance, cos if so there goes half the Emmerdale cast as well. But I agree with pp about Phelan's leaky mouth, he looks like an evil guppy when he gets going.

Oh and I had the same glasses as Dierdre in the 80s, that was fucking embarrassing 😢

Lido thanks for the AA link, so so funny. That's made my day!

BackieJerkhart · 07/09/2017 13:16

The last thing I remember about the fireman is when he started throwing racists terms around and him and Lloyd got into a row or two over it. I can't remember why he left, though oddly, I do remember him leaving. Grin

BackieJerkhart · 07/09/2017 13:19

Btw, is anyone else a bit baffled about the whole point of phelan keeping Andy locked in a basement for months just to kill him now? I don't get it. It's almost like they only decided to bring Andy back a couple of week so ago rather than it being the original plan.

BackieJerkhart - if you starve 'em they become easier to skin.

Pat is supposedly going to try to kill gobby Liz.

BackieJerkhart · 07/09/2017 14:57

Bleugh!! high!! Grin

Backie,

Mary had Norris locked up in a remote cottage whilst channeling Kathy Bates and went on to marry him.

Never say never.

BackieJerkhart · 07/09/2017 15:32

Shock whaaat?? How have I missed this? When did that happen?

apostropheuse · 07/09/2017 15:39

A few years back. She imprisoned him, cut the phone lines, he escaped and got to a phone box to call for help, he fell over and hurt his ankle and she found him. Wouldn't take him to hospital and took him back to the cottage again. she was really scary. Allegedly it was a take-off from the film Misery. 😂

highinthesky · 07/09/2017 15:50

^^ With a bit of Psycho thrown in....we were never actually sure about the existence of Mother. But yes, she was certifiable. Norris got back and IIRC everyone laughed at his fanciful tale.

greit · 07/09/2017 16:02

I'm always wondering why Norris never refers to Mary kidnapping him, he was terrified at the time.

Wasn't fireman a bigamist? I mean, he was already married and his wife was disabled or so he said?

I just love Gemma and Rosie they are fabulous.

Blanches best line, on discovering Ken (who had spent the night o the sofa after having a skinful) " Ken this room smells like an anchovy's jockstrap"
I cried at that one!

BackieJerkhart · 07/09/2017 17:47

I can't believe I didn't know this about Norris and Mary!! I have watched Corrie all my life bar a few breaks. It must have been during one of my breaks that happened. Poor Norris!

CheeseCakeSunflowers · 07/09/2017 18:15

Was the Norris/Mary kidnap story in the main programme or was it one of those videos you could buy at Christmas.

AHH 2010! I had a 6-18 month old and a 4/5 year old. I didn't watch TV! Grin

Whiterabbitears · 07/09/2017 21:21

I don't remember the Norris and Mary storyline at all! I do remember when Deirdre had a toyboy, shahid? Who'd have thought it?
