Classic Emmerdale: The years fly by in the blink of an eye

[JaneJeffer]

We're about to leave 2005. How the time flies!

Jamie's catering just reminded me that Vic used to have a food van. Where did that go to?

It's conveniently disappeared along with countless storylines and child actors 😆

That slimy doctor gives me the boke.

Oooh Tom King, he really gets my goat! He is a pig headed misogynist, god knows how he managed to get a business empire. I hate the casual way they employ secretaries just for their own filthy old man perving. The new queen of mean is great! Feeding Sadie Cossack sheer malevolent brilliance. (I am matching bedding by the way my iPad died along with my old account).

When Terence was confronting/blackmailing the doctor, the difference in their complexions was incredible. The doctor looked a normal colour. Terence looked positively yellow.

Is this part of the storyline 🤔. Is Terence made up to look yellow or is that the actor's own complexion?

Loving the animals today

"I'll be no trouble" yeah right

Terrence and the doctor are giving me the creeps

The chloroform fight 🤣

He's like Frankenstein's monster

He is the least convincing bad guy ever! He looks like a Simpson character.

That was the best bit of unintentional comedy I've seen in a long time. That doctor is terrible anyway but him doing chloroform piggy back was priceless. Then to expect he dragged a man who's about twice his size and unresponsive down to the cellar 😅
Then I thought to myself, "Surely he isn't going to rise from the dead" and on cue, there he was like a cross between the Incredible Hulk and Frankinstein's monster emerging into the room.

I've not laughed so much in ages!

the doctor couldn't quite manage to cover Terence's nose and mouth at the same time which was very funny.

Do any of us know what the doctor's name is? 😂

Sometimes the doc reminds me of Rik Mayall in Bottom 😂

Adam Forsythe is the doctor

Oh that's it @JewelleryCat

The Terrance actor is 6 foot 4 and well built so the sight of rather small Adam dragging him about was nonsensical.
I can't believe that in 2005, men were still hiring PAs on their looks and ability to get them into bed. Jimmy is a disgusting sleazy creep but he and the hair flicking Toni deserve each other - if she sticks he boobs out once more, I'll scream.
Then we have Perdy sexing up to the new vet.......

Zzzzzzzz

How well written Alice's story is compared to if it had been written now 😢

They don't seem to be able to write anything decent these days. They either drag stories out so long that we lose interest in them or they come and go quickly with no resolution

That was an eventful episode. Where was Gabby?

Alice looks absolutely beautiful

She did.
I was so much more interested in the characters back then. Nowadays I couldn't care less about most of them.
It also was so much better having the characters continually featured rather than the ridiculous block filming we have now.
If it was brought in for Covid, there's no need to still be doing it.

I don’t like Ashley. He’s a very unchristian kind of vicar. He is so vile to poor old Sandy and he was awful to Debbie.

Didn't she just. She looked nothing like drippy Alice. Her head covering was beautiful.

The hair and makeup departments at both Classic Emmerdale and Classic Corrie worked absolute wonders. Not only was Alice transformed today, but Cilla Battersby had a face like a bag of spanners, whereas Wendi Peters was/is really pretty.

Oh God. That stuff with Eric and the dominatrix was woeful.

I'm enjoying everyone taking the piss out of Eric though

I can't stand that Gray. Smarmy git.
