Emmerdale **NO SPOILERS** Glooming into Autumn and Wendy's still there squeaking away

[TellingBone]

Is the Lydia storyline going to drag on until Christmas? Is Gabby off? Charity and Liam prospects? Belle and Tom more misunderstandings? Mary another disastrous date? Chas is due a romance surely? And finally, fuck off Wendy.

I wonder whether Lydia is just going to lose it with Craig eventually and end up killing him because that would be a very Emmerdale thing to do.

Where do they get these "actors" from"? She is only a few months younger than me and obviously thinks that playing an old lady involves almost running with her legs too far apart rather than walking, with a sour expression and a hat clamped on her head at all times. Truly awful.

I really like Manpreet. How dithery Rishi got somebody as attractive as her was beyond me, but she must wonder what she's done in another life to have had that lunatic for a sister and then up in the middle of the Anderson family shit show.

The actress who plays Claudette is in series 3 of Sanditon too.

She was fine in Sanditon because she was supposed to be a steely character who didn't say much so she didn't have to be very emotional and I was annoyed that ITV cut some of her lines when they got round to showing Series 2.

But her acting last night was atrocious when she was crying about Victor. I've seen better in amateur plays. I suppose it's hard to cry about Victor's demise. You might as well grin like Ethan and Manpreet.

Claudette's acting is abysmal ! Is Gaby really off or is it all for nothing the selling up talk? I kind of hope she goes ....Belle's bloke is an oddball and is nasty to her

I hope Gabby does go as she's very annoying dragging the "Woe is me" stuff about Caleb and Nicky out. Yes it was shit and they've a nerve still hanging around the village like a bad smell. She's kind of put the cart before the horse thinking of going off travelling with a small child in tow. She'll maybe just abandon him like Bernice did with her.

Sam looks rough as a badger's arse

Why is Lydia cleaning during office hours? Any place I've ever worked in, the cleaners have come in before or after working hours when there are no staff there.

Ooh I'd like to go on an adventure with Cain and Caleb

Fuck off Wendy

Something to do with Aaron?

Haha! Cathy is going to tell Wendy to fuck off!!

Go on Cathy, kill Wendy. We'll give you an alibi

What is she doing here? Exactly Cathy

Lydia is going to explode at some point

Cathy talking sense. I like Cathy. Now fuck off Wendy!

I wish Lydia would tell someone.
I like Cathy now too!

Oh Lydia, she's breaking my heart 😢

I think Lydia will eventually tell Mandy or Kim. Both of them have clocked that there is something wrong.

How many more episodes are going to end with Lydia in tears - please do something about it. Everybody thinks the sun shines from Craig's arse so the longer she leaves it, the harder it will be for them to believe her. Although I think Mandy realises something isn't right.
Where was Lydia going off to do another shift at? Does she clean somewhere else apart from Kim's and Craig's?

How many more episodes are going to finish with Lydia sobbing !! Mandy knows somethings up

@RaraRachael cross post !!

I am wondering whether to watch some of it on catch-up, but you've mentioned Wendy now ...

@@lollipoprainbow great minds!

I thought she was going to fling the vase of flowers at the wall and the noise would wake everybody up and the story would finally come out. Sadly this is going to drag on and I can't see how Craig can be brought to justice if that's the case.

I was hoping Craig's PA was going to say "everyone loves Craig BUT he's actually a creep".

I think they are doing the story really well so far as it highlights why conviction rates are so low and how hard it can be to prove with his word against hers, especially when the rapist will say it was consensual. The recent high profile footballer cases of alleged rape and coercive control show how difficult it is to decipher the truth when the accused is well liked, respected and has the support of colleagues and friends in high places.
