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

I've missed a few episodes don't have time to catch up atm so could someone please explain what's going on with Charity/Mandy/Mack/Nicola?

Nicola and Mackenzie had a plan to use the haulage firm to transport stolen goods for Kev. Mandy overheard and wanted in to repay Sam and Lydia the money Paul took out in Lydia's name but she made a balls of it. Then Charity found out and knew Kev of old and wants to buy half of the haulage firm from Jimmy and Nicola to profit from the stolen goods.

Thanks Jane 👍

Mackenzie doesn't half speak a load of shite. I suppose his remarks are meant to be amusing

At least we're having a rest from old rubber face this week. No doubt I'vs spoken too soon and she'll appear tomorrow.

I was watching it and still couldn’t work out what had happened. I lost the will to live about halfway through the scene with Mandy and Kev.

I know good child actors are hard to find, but they’re really scraping the barrel with Cathy. I’ve owned mahogany sideboards that were less wooden. I also suddenly realised she is April’s aunt, which weirded me out a bit.

@StillCoughingandLaughing yes, I realised tonight that Cathy is April's aunt! Although actually step aunt as Bob was Donna's step dad.

Viv is Cathy and Donna’s mum so they were half sisters so April is a half niece if that’s a thing?

Also I realised that April is Elliot’s cousin but they never spend any time together or mention it.

Btw where is boy twin?

It’s one consequence of all the dramatic storylines in soaps is that they have so many shattered families due to deaths and affairs and they forget who is related to who of those that are left.

It's like Debbie's darlings never having anything to do with the Sugdens and then she suddenly remembered Diane existed when she fell out with babysitter Charity.

I don't know why Mackenzie let Mandy tag along anyway. Why didn't he just tell her to feck off?

Oh god I forgot Viv was Cathy's mum as well. So Cathy is April's half step aunt!? Still weird whatever it is.

And yes agree about Debbie's kids being Sugdens but that's another whole kettle of fish with Diane being step nanny and Victoria has nothing to do with Debbie's kids which is really odd given Victoria's character and the fact she's their auntie (same with Robert when he was around).

And the scriptwriters suddenly remembering that Noah is Jamie’s nephew!

It was nice to see Billy today. They don't know what to do with him now after they stupidly split him and Dawn up.

Today is Robert's 35th birthday

Smugden!!! 😂

Happy fictional birthday fictional man who is no longer being portrayed on screen 😂

I believe he has got a part in Silent Witness.

I think we could do with a break from Mandy for a while.

I think it's great they are showing the harsh reality of a newborn baby with Tracey and Nate. It's very sad to watch but important to highlight having a baby is not plain sailing. I did wonder a couple of weeks back if they were going to go down the post natal depression route with Tracey.

I think they should make David help out because he's the one who injured Nate.

Where the hell is Charity’s little boy? Can’t remember the name

With Ross and the blinky one.

Moses

Moses has been living with Ross and Rebecca for months now. Convenient!
