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.

I'd love to see this story. Would be way better than anything going on at the moment

it really would!

As a matter of interest, can anyone remember the last time there was a remotely happy story?

Umm...uh....hmmmm...... I literally can’t!

I can see Ellis lying there like the video for Just by Radiohead

I would pay you myself for that story line to happen

It's absolutely dreadful at the moment, poor Vinny being attacked like that and his arsehole of a father convincing him it was practically his own fault.

I have no interest in Belle and her mental health issues, it's just rinse and repeat with every story she has.

New head Ellis needs to leave, I can't stand him, why doesn't he go and live with his mother and leave Billy alone, oh and he can take Al with him.

Meena is pointless.

BAHAHAHA this has made my week.

First single I ever bought BTW factfans

Can we send this thread to the writers, it's so awful I fast forward most episodes now. Think I'll give next week a miss.

I don't understand how Ben can "like" Aaron. Putting aside the toxic bullying for a moment. They've only had a a handful of conversations and 18 misunderstandings already. No real conversation or time spent together. And as much as I love Danny Miller he's not such a stud that it would make you forget all that bullying.

Well maybe for five minutes...

Yeah I would easily forget!

The only way I will forgive those ridiculous scenes is if Amelia is dead and dan dies immediately of a broken heart.

What's she actually hurt? Why the collapse?

Well it didn’t look as though the car bonnet even touched her. She jumped back. So I’m not sure where she’s supposed to have been injured.

I know we’re supposed to be rooting for Dan and Amelia as the struggling working class folk, but I’m the one who’s struggling - to care. They’re just not interesting; plus, they’re quite isolated in the village, so don’t really make much of a wider impact. I presume that’s why the writers have suddenly invented a never-seen-before friendship with Sarah.

On the subject of Sarah, why hasn’t she even mentioned Annie’s death, let alone had a conversation with Victoria? She spent a lot of time with Annie in Spain. I think the writers have forgotten she’s a Sugden.

They always seem to forget family connections in emmerdale unless its the dingles. I was actually pleasantly surprised tonight when Nicola was talking to Gabby as her aunt - “I was talking to your mum about you leaving Uni etc”

They don't have ordinary scenes of people just having a chat anymore. There's always an ulterior motive.

Isobel Steele posted on her Instagram that she got attacked a group of lads who pulled her joggers off but she managed to escape. Fucking bastards.

Christ Jane that's awful, poor Isobel, horrible thing to happen, fucking arseholes.

She’s a very promising young actress; definitely the most talented of the younger cast for my money.

I wish they would give her a decent story instead of just being Aaron's sidekick. The story with Vinny has been sidetracked by Paul.

Poor girl! I hope the catch the fuckers. That must have been terrifying.

She’s probably my favourite emmerdale character. Cracking talent.

Oh no - more misery for Dan and Amelia, I actually found it unintentionally hilarious when she ended up on the floor after the mysterious car bonnet incident, then he was on the floor, she staggered into the garage and end up on the floor in there stifles giggles

Am I being horrible?......about two dreary characters that the viewers don't care about. It could be a good storyline about struggling with injury, child carer, poverty etc but it's just rubbish.

Was she injured or did she faint from hunger? I feel Al will come to the rescue.

If they’re going to insist on keeping Dan and Amelia, they should bring back Sean with a new head to liven up the family.

Sean was great but he got injured in the army didn't he? The last thing we need is another Spencer hobbling around Also the casting nowadays is dire so God knows what we'd end up with! I know people hate them but I really don't mind Dan and Amelia at all. Kerry was the one who did my head in. Glad for the break from her.

Didn’t Sean die? I thought he did?

No, just badly injured. All the women of the family died. (Unlucky even for soapland.)

On that subject, has good Christian Amelia ever once popped up to Holgate to visit her cousin Archie?

Good question. She never mentions him.
