Emmerdale **NO SPOILERS** More Drivel in the Dales while tied to a chair in a barn

[TellingBone]

An everyday story of country folk and gangsters

I thought someone was copying you @JaneJeffer 🤣

Weird just as well I hadn't posted my deepest darkest SIL murdering secrets under that name 😱

I loved the mad Emma story line.

Just catching up.

Is that really the best they can come up? Brenda's "not well" so missing her son's funeral and no-one bats an eye?

I hope Robert isn't coming back, will put me off watching.

I've never liked his character, though maybe he could come back for five minutes and disappear forever with Aaron.

My thoughts exactly - may they go to a place far away, never to return.

Just caught up, best episode in a very long time.

Moira actress played a blinder, as did Charity. I've even forgiven Moira for wearing those farmer Giles caps.

I liked the physicals too when Charity was roughing up Moira. Rather moving and convincing.

Whiney Wendy needs to show she can do something other than whine. Won't hold my breath.

I do too. I think they make a great couple. Chas is more likeable when she's with him. I like their banter.

V good episode ,, for a change

That was such a good episode. I've only just caught up from Friday as I was out. I too like Chas and Liam. They work so well together I think. Moira and Charity were fantastic too. Wondering how long it will be before somebody twigs Charity has PTSD.

Scenes of medical distress today. Marlon looks lovely there with Ivy

Oh Jimmy

I wasn’t expecting Jimmy to be planning a cover up. I was sure Nicola would

The door analogy doesn't seem a good way of explaining a diagnosis to me

Me too, that's surprised me

Brenda's better then

Me neither. I was convinced Jimmy would be the moral compass in the family.

Seems a bit grim having another cancer story so soon after Faith.

Is this the day after the funeral? And Brenda back at work as large as life and not a mention of how she was too ill to attend the funeral. They could at least have had her sitting at home in her dressing gown.

"I'm your family" 🥹

The absence of Brenda is odd. It was made out to be something really serious in real life to mean she couldn't even sit quietly in the church and not speak. For her to be filming two episodes later, surely they could have re-jigged the filming schedule.

FFS Tracey 🙄 This is getting boring now.

So Gus wants Ivy back. Is this going to be some weird custody battle coming up do you think?

God, Angelica is so bloody wooden.
