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

[PinkDaydreams]

That really tickled me!

Fucking hell! You can see why rapey Lee doesn’t take no for an answer. He learned from his mother.

I'm just glad she's not wearing either the horrible pink fleece or hoodie that she lives in there days.

Jacob and his constant droning on about Maya and never forgiving David and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. What a bore.

Everything is going wrong because you're never at work Jessie.

I've just caught up and the thing I'm most bothered by is that neither Victoria nor Amy offered to carry either of Diane's picnic bags!

Why was Lydia looking very worried when Jessie mentioned human bones found at the school?? has she killed someone back in her school days?

Yes Lydia did look worried and she said something about they don't know her past . . . .

Are they going to change her backstory now like they did with Graham. The writing is so clunky lately.

Am I remembering wrong or was there some suggestion that Lydia had suffered baby losses when Chas and Paddy were having grace? Would they do a hidden pregnancy/still birth/buried near a school storyline?

Maybe she was a cleaner in the school.

Anyone know where they scattered Lisa’s ashes? Looks lovely

Christ! They are doing a hidden stillborn baby story!! FFs why?? That’s a horrible story. We’re still right in the middle of Victoria’s rape fall out. Why do they want us to be so depressed in the evenings? Are they deliberately trying to get us to switch off?

Doug and brenda= don’t care
Lisa’s ashes= why the drama? Loads of people keep the ashes for years.
Nate and Moira= yawn. So predictable. Moira falls for the young farm hand. At least this one isn’t her nephew.
Jacob and dippy David= end that storyline now. It’s been drawn out enough already. It’s not funny or interesting.

Wendy seriously needs a restraining order against her. I'm amazed Victoria hasn't reported the harassment to the police. I was so sad for Victoria that her scan day was ruined.

So Lydia has a murky past. Sounds like she took the baby from the children's home and it somehow ended up dead.

I think the baby is Lydia’s ?

Yes Lydia’s baby. She was the “Jennifer Finn” in the police file that went missing from the children’s home in 1990. I’m guessing they’re going to go down a child abuse/paedophile ring storyline. Lydia abused by her guardians and got pregnant, went into labour and baby born dead so she buried it and ran.

Exactly what I was going to post Joxer

And if I'm right you're in my part of the world where we can't get away from mother and baby home horror, it's so bloody sad and I'm fuming they've gone down this story line route, the grooming and the rape are bad enough but I'm not sure I'll watch it while this story is running.

Yes ellanora, I’m in NI, are you too or ROI? Both have produced some hellish stories of children being abused in care homes.

I truly hope they aren’t doing that. They’ve done enough abuse stories on emmerdale in recent years. It’s starting to feel a bit like that misery literature that was popular years ago with different variations of childhood abuse.

I feel the same. These women who are the new producers have come up with the most horrible storylines for women that they could think of. It's pissing me off.

We’ve had Aaron’s childhood abuse by his dad, charity’s childhood abuse by Pc whatever his name is, Jacobs grooming, Tracey’s abuse by that stalker, Victoria’s rape, anyone I’ve missed?

Are emmerdale writers obsessed with the abuse of women and children?

I'm ROI Joxer

Also Rhona and Peirce, that was bloody awful.

It's too much for a soap JaneJeffer, too hard hitting to be watching all the time.

Oh yes, Rhona!

Loads more Boxer! Alicia's abuse by Lachlan, Lisa's rape, Dawn forced into prostitution, Holly selling herself for drugs, Rhona's abusive husband. The list is endless.

I hope they don't have Lydia being a victim of abuse as we have already had a very similar storyline with Charity.

Exactly one story like that a year would be ok as long as there was other lighthearted stuff too. They keep repeating the same scenes and saying the same things over and over e.g. Robert and Victoria have had the same conversation about 10 times as have David and Jacob. It's tiresome.

And whoever choose Vic's new wardrobe should be made to wear it themselves

Loads more Boxer! Alicia's abuse by Lachlan, Lisa's rape, Dawn forced into prostitution, Holly selling herself for drugs, Rhona's abusive husband. The list is endless.

It says something when I can’t even recall half of them because there have been so many!

Agree about Victoria’s wardrobe! And repeating the same scene. How many times have we seen Wendy accost her now? 4 in two evenings?
