New Emmerdale thread...”he didn’t lick it off the grass David!”

[PinkDaydreams]

That really tickled me!

Princess they should rename Marlon’s Cottage The Tardis, it has so many people living there!

I wish they had got rid of Jessie as she is the worst actor on the show IMO. Sometimes when actors start in a soap, they are over the top but then calm down, this is not the case with Jessie. Hopefully, Marlon will get rid of her soon.

SaintWillibald, she really is, absolutely dreadful, and her and Marlon are not a good match at all.

I thought I'd hate Jai and Laurel getting together but they do seem to have some chemistry between them, it might not be so bad after all.

Jessie worse actor than Bear? Now that is really saying something!!

Princess yes, you’re right, he’s awful too. I had managed to block him from my mind!

Ellen I’m loving the Jai and Laurel storyline, so funny together, nice to see the lighter side of Jai.

Whaat dooo yooou meaaan Jessie caan't aaact?

There was something Jessie said when she was trying to talk Max round and it was so unnatural the way she said it she must be putting it on deliberately. I was willing Max to finish her off for that alone. I Wish I could remember what it was now.

Do we know why Priya is looking worried?

I've missed something what was going on between Bear and Cain's mum with baby scan yesterday? Why weren't they supposed to look at it?

I don't know what's up with Priya. I'm trying to remember what was wrong with her when she lost it with Eliza before. Was it because of the bulimia?

Hetty Chas and Paddy didn't want to know the baby's sex so they left the scan photo on Grace's grave but it blew off and Bear found it and told Faith it's a boy.

Oh right. Bear does seem like the sort of person that can read a baby scan 🙄

The sonographer had written it down for them

I’m just picturing Bear as a sonographer:

jane I think Priya was under stress when she lashed out to Eliza. Don’t know what’s wrong with her now?!

Joxer

I actually think Bear just made it up that it's a boy. I don't remember him actually looking at it. I reckon he just took a punt as a way to shut her up about it, so am expecting a girl when chas gives birth.

The priya thing is weird, it's totally come out from nowhere. Literally in the space of hours. They could have had a build up or something.

Oh, and given priya only just had a go at David for shouting at Amber making out like he was totally out of control man, it's amazing how no one made a big deal of her shouting in front of Amber like that herself.

Maybe Priya is suffering from stress after the whole Maya thing as she was the only witness and she didn't come forward due to the ridiculous kidnap of Maya. So Maya is only guilty of sending inappropriate texts rather than actual child abuse. I'd feel pretty guilty if I was Priya.

Oh Victoria I had exactly the same thing happen to me after an assault by a boyfriend. I confronted him the next morning. He left. An hour later his mum turns up to tell me I imagined or dreamt it because maybe an ex had done that to me so I was just having a flashback. but more importantly, she asked, was I going to the police because if so she needed to go there first. I assume to make up some shite about me being a vindictive cow making up lies.

Smidge good call.
So it will be a girl

And the most stupid maternity leave storyline

That's awful Joxer. I hate this storyline

If Bear can't read how was he texting Faith last week?

It’s really hard to watch but I think they’re doing it very well. It feels very real to me.

Ugh, I'm sorry you had to experience that, Joxer. Some mothers' devotion to their child can go far too fucking far.

The actress who played the mum in tonight's episode did she play a similar role in Coronation Street? I can vaguely picture her as the mother of some dodgy bloke and trying to get access to her grandchild.

I have clearly watched too many soaps!

Yes she looked familiar to me too.

Could she have been Bethany’s paternal grandmother?

Ah yes. That could be it!
