Emmerdale with social distant acting, it's not great but better than nothing.....

[ellenanora5]

It's been such a strange year for us all but never more so than for the people of the dales, what will Christmas and the New Year episodes bring...........some lighthearted relief I hope but probably not.

What was it that Tracey did on Amy & Kerry that made it "even"? I know something happened so Tracey wasn't able to report them I can't remember what it was.

I can’t remember either. I know Vanessa was involved too.

Wasn't it when Kerry turned out to be a volunteer at the hospital where Vanessa was being treated?

Those two locked Tracey in and when she escaped she shoved Kerry away who fell and banged her head!

Oh yes I remember now. And they persuaded her that was the equivalent to them killing her dad and covering it up. So they wouldn’t tell anyone if she didn’t tell anyone.

I reckon enough time has passed now for her to see that was nonsense.

It was so stupid. As if the police would convict Tracey. They held her hostage!

I just want to say JUSTICE FOR FRANK. Solidarity!

I missed the start, what’s this about Belfast? We don’t want him! Stay in Yorkshire! Even better- go to Dubai!

he got a nice drive off.

He didn’t have that car a few weeks ago. He was driving a dull bottle greeny sensible family looking thing. Where did he get the cash for a flash new motor?

Errrrr, Al can just turn that car round and head back. Belfast does not want him. (Or Larne, if he is coming in that way).

Close the ferry port!

I’ll do Larne, if you do Belfast.

Debbie Dingle always looks like she’s come back from the loo early on a night out and overheard one of her ‘friends’ criticising her shoes.

Were the laboured references to catching the ferry to remind us that Al hasn’t got a pot to piss in?

April is suddenly very grown-up. I feel old. I still remember her mother developing a Yorkshire accent overnight.

Hey, let’s not knock the ferry! It is/ was the way most of us travelled to the mainland before Mr Easyjet came along. I loves a ferry I do.

Normally I moan that stories are dragged out for too long but the Al business all seems to have been wrapped up mercifully quickly.

Debbie and Priya find out - Al is exposed - Priya steals the money - Al gets the sack - Al is offski (hopefully never to be seen again)

BOOM. SORTED!

Totally agree @RaraRachael! It’s a breath of fresh air that it’s all been dealt with so quickly.

Yes Amy was particularly nasty to Tracey when she shoved Kerry (TO ESCAPE BEING HELD HOSTAGE!!) saying Tracey was just as bad as them and could have killed Kerry so they were even.

No, they are not even. Amy and Kerry are responsible for Frank's death and then added hostage taking to their list of crimes.

Seriously Emmerdale, this must be the worst injustice ever.

The worst thing is, I think the producers are now going to try to find a way to keep Harriet and Dawn too. (I actually wouldn’t mind with Dawn as she’s grown on me a lot - but you know, the whole murder thing.)

Nobody cares about Malone being dead though, he wasn't a loveable character like Frank, and he was trying to kill Dawn first so they can stay!

I misread that as Marlon being dead and thought I’d missed an episode last night!

Arrgghhh!!!

Will we never get rid of Al?

He's baaaack!
