Emmerdale (ITV1 pace) - ** NO SPOILERS ** Ding dong Belle

[TellingBone]

Awaiting the verdict

It’s a soap and everyone has their own views which they are allowed to express…including @RaraRachael

The writers are playing silly buggers with this latest Marlon and Laurel nonsense as no one has seen anything that is now being alluded to!

Looks like a lot of twists and turns ahead going by those flash forwards we saw …

The Will actor did a reel on insta don’t think he wanted to leave ….looks like cost cutting going on and they are getting rid of people.

I’d be happy if Marlon went am tired of him and take Laurel too plus Wendy …and John !

For me Cain, Charity and Kim are the best they have the rest am not overly fussed…

I wondered if it's something to do with Laurel's drinking. Maybe she's started drinking again. Didn't she also shoplift at one point?

Or maybe Marlon is in touch with Ivy's father and went to Laurel for advice.

Brenda was a shoplifter. I don't remember Laurel doing it.

As horrible as Anthony is he's a great actor!

If Laurel has started drinking again, why would Marlon be part of it?

Maybe she wanted to reminisce about the time she was pissed and ran over his dog? RIP Daisy

He really is!

I can only think that Marlon has been helping Laurel avoid something to do with her divorce and The Hop/Hide assets. But he doesn't have any money so that wouldn't really work.

Just clutching at straws really 😅

Was she with Marlon when she was drinking?

Maybe she was just going to alcohol support groups with him ?

If he is a sort of mentor or something.

Agree that Marlon wouldn't be part of any Laurel relapse as it was her drinking that finished off their marriage.

Maybe Marlon has secretly been doing all the cooking for Laurel which she has been passing off as her own

That would definitely finish her @JaneJeffer 🤣

And it can't be an affair as it wasn't that long ago that Laurel was getting it on with Angry. Which seems to have been dropped.

Laurel ran over Daisy? I don’t remember that. Does Marlon have a dog now? Maybe he needs one

I reckon Cain and Ruby are going to be drawn together again as Cain seems to have sussed the dad out 🤔…time will tell!

I feel there's a lot of random people (aka dead wood) in the village - Brenda, Ella, Liam, manpreet, Charles (although I guess they tie in being the doctors and vicar), susie, jay, Tracey. Also Eric and Victoria but they've been around forever so more believe able they would stay in the village forever.

There's no families apart from dingles, kings, tates?

And yet they keep bringing in more characters and not knowing what to do with them!

John seems to have no interest in finding out anything about the Sugdens (probably because he isn't one).

Where did Victoria spend Christmas? She wasn't with brother John or with Wendy. Did her and invisible Harry spend it on their own?

It's so daft that Aaron spent Christmas in his old marital home with Robert's "brother" and never thought hang on a second this is weird

Aaron doesn't think full stop !! 😅..

Christmas was all a bit weird ...in fact ..I can't remember what happened?

On at 7.00 tonight, for a whole hour.
How lucky are we?
See you later!

Hospital Thursday with Jacob on work experience. What could possibly go wrong?! 😂

Dr Jacob is doing a shift in A&E 🤣

I think the victim might be April.

April!
