Emmerdale doesn't seem to have an end point in sight for any of their stories. They just cobble a load of old nonsense together with no explanation for it.
They killed Rishi to bring Amit in and he's gone already.
What was the point of Rose and why did we never find out what her connection with Ruby was?
Now Ella is here. Why?
Then there's big jolly John sulking around the place as if he's trapped by a force field.
The way they keep bringing in random characters is as if they owe the actors a favour and tell them they'll give them a few months work to tide them over never mind that none of it makes sense to the viewers.
