Emmerdale - Paul’s got debts to pay, Luke’s secretly gay and Gabby’s in the family way... NO SPOILERS!

[StillCoughingandLaughing]

New thread ahead of a new week

She whisked Carl away at least twice and had him off getting ice cream on her own then when she got her permitted contact with him in the hide she freaked out and said it didn’t feel right and she wasn’t ready to have him on her own and next thing you know she’s hiring PIs to discredit N&J so she can steal the child she abandoned after having met him only about 4 times and all within the last month or so. It’s ridiculous.

If it made sense then it wouldn't get made. The 2 criteria seem to be is it shit and does it bear no relation to reality. If yes to both then it the script gets approved

Yep. That seems to be it.

Flashword episodes are gonna be fun this week.

Urgh. Almost a whole episode dedicated to pandy. Is the whole week going to be about them? I’m not going to watch if that’s the case.

Mandy is so awful with her overacting, talking over everybody, hand flapping. Growlinc voice...........I could go on an on.
I totally agree about PP's criteria for storylines - the worse the idea, the longer the story

What the fuck is Mandy's top made of?

I love when Vinny sings.

I've missed something. When did Vinnie and Liv split up?

Mandy is unbearable. All this endless banging on about how happy she is, how Paul is The One. It's nauseating even without the fact he's actually a complete tosser.

For the love of God, won't someone teach Paul how to say 'the'

I quite enjoyed it

When will this torture end?

I've missed something. When did Vinnie and Liv split up?
Paul made Vinny split up.

So fed up of Paul on repeat "We're gonna be a proper family". Vinny is at the age when he should be thinking of leaving home FFS

He’s got a beautiful voice. I was tearing up when he started breaking down while singing

Interesting theory!

Hang on! Somebody dies?

I mean - the flash-forwards are clear that something life-threatening happens but ?

They showed them flatlining at the beginning this evening.

Must have zoned out on that one!

this is the end shot of the flash forward scene

Apparently a well loved character dies so sadly it can't be Paul

I’m betting Mandy then. Hope it’s Aaron, love his grumpy little face. He’s becoming the gay Cain.

It looked like the bottom of a woman’s face last night. I don’t think they’d take Mandy out so soon after arriving in the show. She’s only been in a couple of years. But then maybe the actress has realised how shit the stories they’re giving her are and wanted to go.

I thought Nicola but she was one of the worried onlookers wasn’t she?

I've recently started watching this again, and I'm so glad I've found this thread

I have the horrible feeling it’s Liv. I really don’t want to see her go, but Isobel Steele has had a lot of praise, and I can imagine she might have decided to leave while she’s young enough to not be typecast.
