Emmerdale, rolling hills and country pub (it's not gangs of the dales)....no spoilers please

Maybe now with fewer episodes and time on their hands the writing will improve with some decent story lines.

Oh, I never watched that but maybe saw him on some of the trailers.

Why was everyone wearing black in that first scene? Has someone died?

I think they're mourning old Ellis

Is Dawn going to lurk everywhere

@JaneJeffer

I think they're mourning old Ellis

I still have to ask myself “who is that?” every time I see new head Ellis. I reckon the writers know this as they had Billy introduce him again tonight

Add Meena to the Wendy list

I reckon the writers know this as they had Billy introduce him again tonight

I have nothing against him but they should have had him be a different character!

I loved Dawn's face when Manpreet told Meena to leave.

Yup.

How does manpreet have a sister 30 years younger than her?

Is it going to be a "you ain't my mother" thing?

I thought they had recast Manpreet's daughter. No way is she her sister

Does anyone else think that Ben is setting Aaron up, only to get revenge on him? I hope not coz all of Aaron's relationships are toxic and well this already is :/

Well I find it odd that Ben is willing to forgive his tormentor to such an extent that he's going on a date with him but the current Emmerdale producers are big fans of that type of relationship and they love to make Aaron cry because Danny Miller is so good at it.

Manpreet's "sister" is an awful character. Why didn't they just recast her daughter she was very irritating too

Still very little to encourage me to keep watching, although if the frisson between Moira and Cain develops, it will be worthwhile

@RaraRachael the only way I enjoy emmerdale is by watching clips on YouTube of the character I enjoy. No way am I sitting through scenes with Mandy.

It annoys me. Mandy used to be nice, now she's horrible.

Ben: you were a homophobic bully to me.
Aaron: coz I am gay too.
Ben: well ask me out then!!

If you could only have 1 (current) favourite character who would it be?

Charity all the way for me, love her little quips

I love Charity but they have watered her down too much. She was more like her old self last week which was great.

I miss Faith. She was a great character.

I actually really like Liv. I think from all the soaps I've watched she really is the best played teenager, they all tend to be real stereotypes and annoying.

i like Liv too - she's not afraid to be different and she's naturally very pretty without pouting pnuematic lips etc.

My favourite would be Moira - sexy pretty older woman who doesn't take nonsense from anyone.

I really don't like Chas. She is always miserable and nasty to people. I was once told I looked like her (I don't) whilst shopping in a rather odd leather shop in Glasgow

I was a bit confused by Liv the other night. When Mandy asked her if she would go out with vinny she said no because she was asexual. But she was still happy to go out with jaycub despite both of them knowing she was asexual. So I didn’t think being asexual meant you didn’t date anyone, just that you didn’t want to have sex with them. Maybe she just doesn’t like vinny enough to date him.

What age is Vinny?

I think 18ish?
