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 zoned out watching last night's briefest too. So much so that I've no idea about somebody being on a dating app

Does the music sound different?

Kim looks way better in those darker colours. Hate all the beige they put her in.

Noah is comedy gold.

Why doesn't Gabby take the laptop to her room?

Gabby is so awful now.

Thank God it's Mackenzie. I thought it was Ben.

That was a bit weird at the end the way it went from Chad and liv shouting to middle of the night gloved hand drugging the brandy and then straight away Kim drinking it. Has Kim’s doctor ever suggested she lay off the daily brandy?

I'm still annoyed about that Carl story.

Oh shut up Amy

I just can't imagine being friends with someone and then not seeing them for ages and then they transition to the opposite sex and you fall in love with them.

JJ that’s exactly what I was thinking

I thought the same JaneJeffer. Nothing I'm remotely interested in during the first episode - let's hope the second one is better but I won't hold my breath.

Even though I think Amy is more of a different person now than Matty!

I'm off to Eurovision. Will watch later if I can stay awake!

If I was Aaron I'd chuck Mackenzie under the bus and take my chances rather than risk prison.

Why doesn’t Aaron tell Cain? Cain hates Mackenzie,, ridiculous as usual

That's what I don't get either. Why doesn't Aaron just tell everyone he was returning the brooch that Mackenzie stole? Aaron has no loyalty to Mackenzie.

Why are they treating Aaron like a little boy? Let him sort his own problems. He's nearly 30 years old FFS.

Does anyone else feel like they’re watching a school production when Gabby and Noah share scenes at Home Farm? I think it’s the contrast with the setting; it always feels like they’re pretending to be adults

it all feels like a school production to me these days.

Fair point!

Agree with the comments about Aaron not shopping Mackenzie. The plastic Scottish gangster did his usual "I'll get some nasty people on to you" kind of threat. Oh yes, he's been here all of 5 minutes so must have all the Dales underworld on speed dial. Ridiculous nonsense as usual.

I was so glad to see Kim send Gabby packing - then she's back in the fold WTAF?

What if Aaron just sleeps with Mackenzie who then has a dramatic crisis of conscience and owns up?

Have you noticed the Meena/Manpreet/Rishi/Charles thing is similar to the Daisy/Jenny storyline in Corra?

Noah is a Columbo style genius. He managed to find out what Gabby was up to even after telling her exactly what he was doing. The Dingles need to get him working on Aaron's case. Mackenzie won't stand a chance.
