Emmerdale (ITV1 pace) - NO SPOILERS - Aye, Tina

[JaneJeffer]

Thanks to everyone who has been watching on ITVX for not spoilering!

Oh I hoped that Vinny and Belle would end up together one day..guess that won't happen now!

Has Jimmy signed over the haulage then?

Yes, I wanted Belle and Vinny together one day. They’re great together and this storyline seems to have come out of the blue

Talking about rewriting history, when Jimmy was showing Will the family photo of the Kings there was no Max. Just Jimmy, Carl, Matthew and dad Tom.

Someone needs to rescue Emmerdale

Maybe it was taken after he died? He mentioned Emmerdale Haulage and maybe that was the photo in 2009 celebrating it? Didn’t Max die in 2004 or 2005?

Not yet but Caleb has tasked Will with persuading Jimmy.

Oh good point. Maybe that's why. Max was the only decent King.

Max had a short stint

Robert was right in his prediction that Jimmy would have run the haulage into the ground by the time he got out of prison

He did seem to have a conscience the others didn’t

All the storylines just seem to go round in circles

What? Vinnie is Tina's son?! How did I miss that! As soon as Tina appeared I groaned and zoned out! Must pay attention!
Thanks for new thread @JaneJeffer

That Tina js bloody vile. I am confused by the Dingle family tree though 🤪

When did Moira tell Cain she had cancelled the operation BTW?

Day of the funeral I think, when they buried Zak near Wishing Well

Thanks @JewelleryCat I must have missed that bit

I mean, I could be wrong lol but I thought it was then

I'm always confused over it @TheFormidableMrsC !

So I'm relatively new to Emmerdale, who have we been led to believe was Vinnys mum? I knew Mandy had taken him on, but who did we think from?

@familyissues12345 I haven't a clue. I have no excuses. I've watched Emmerdale since I was a kid and I'm 55 now. Never worked out the Dingles 🤣

They just seem to wheel out another Dingle to create a storyline, it's ridiculously complicated

From what I understand and remember, Mandy and Paul got together and Paul already had Vinny. Paul was also a gambler and can’t remember if he was also an alcoholic so Mandy thought it best to get her and Vinny out of that situation and that’s when they rocked up to the village

I cant remember what she said about Vinnys mum but Vinny considers Mandy mum. At least Lisa Riley is still Mandy, can’t imagine anyone else playing her

Because you’re new to Emmerdale, ITV3 show Classic Emmerdale in the afternoon if you can watch it. Also, I’m sure there are clips on YouTube with original Tina if you want to see her in all her glory, not this version

Had a catch up last night after being away from home for a few days. I loved Friday’s episode. Such a nice tribute to Zak/Steve Halliwell and much better than the funeral farce episode.

Great acting from Ruby. Caleb is a devious little shit. I hope he’s not going to get away with it yet again. I wish Tina would disappear. We’re going to have weeks now of overacting from Mandy and Vinny. I’ve already had it with their silly facial mannerisms. Now there will be the addition of tears and snot.

As if we needed yet another character appearing out of nowhere with some ridiculous backstory (and it looks like Ruby's daughter will be making an appearance soon). So we're supposed to believe that Mandy was in a relationship with Paul who already had Vinny by some other woman who just happened to be Tina - what a load of old shit.

Can't they think of anything different? Obviously not. We go round and round in circles rehashing the same old rubbish.

Tina never used to be such a vile screaming harridan. She was always the slightly more astute Dingle, she schemed but she was also fairly clever. This one is nothing like the original.

This Tina just reminds me too much of Rose - gobby, unattractive trouble maker.
