Is it going to be even more depressing stories and Joe and Dawn jumping into bed?

It really is doom and gloom.

I completely disagree with most about the April storyline. I think the fact she looks so young made it harder hitting. As somebody who has worked with disadvantaged teens I would have been sad if they had brought in a new much more obviously older actor.
Marlon’s acting is very annoying though!

I tend to agree Scutterbug Her youthfulness did make it seem more hard-hitting and she played the vulnerable teen part well, I thought

JaneJeffer · 06/02/2025 16:52

April isn't a disadvantaged teen though and this story was just whipped up out of nowhere.

ilovebrie8 · 06/02/2025 17:16

Yep @JaneJeffer exactly this...she has been a pretty much quiet/sensible character and even a bit timid up to now and isn't disadvantaged at all....now she is a teenage rebel drinking/pregnancy/in a squat...the story came out of the blue it doesn't fly with the character she has been up to now...

I don't keep a track of her pads?

Who writes this stuff

I know jeez it is bad hey😏...Rhona should have refused to say that line...I do think the Rhona and Marlon actors should go as they seem to be culling people on the show ....they aren't interesting/engaging characters any longer.

They have both had a very good run on the show but are stale...Marlon I cringe when i see him he is awful and Rhona is not much better.

MonickerMonica · 06/02/2025 17:35

I don't think Cain will ever leave so Rhona is unlikely to get the chop (real life married as we know) and if anyone in that soap has any sway it must surely be Cain actor. Also if Rhona left we'd be given a new vet. Better the devil we know?

Mmm yes, I see what you mean. It's out of character for her and it's like the writer tried to fit as much awful shite into the story line as possible!!

BooseysMom · 06/02/2025 18:02

Is it on at 7pm tonight? Sorry, haven't got a tv guide!!

JaneJeffer · 06/02/2025 18:03

Yes 7 @BooseysMom

BooseysMom · 06/02/2025 18:07

Thanks Jane. I will need to phone DF early then. I don't know what will happen when it changes to 8pm next year as it will clash with DS bedtime!

HollyBerryz · 06/02/2025 18:09

I'm not sure we can say April isn't disadvantaged. I don't think Marlon was in her life initially? Then he was, her mum died, Marlon's been married how many times? Several different step mums, lost heath in a tragic accident (I can't be bothered to work out how they're related), step mum 'kidnapped' a baby, april got kidnapped, has a sibling with send which means she's a sibling carer.

HollyBerryz · 06/02/2025 18:11

Not to mention she's just found out her mum killed herself.

JewelleryCat · 06/02/2025 18:13

Are Cathy and dear departed Heath cousins of April because Bob is Aprils grandad?

HollyBerryz · 06/02/2025 18:14

And her dad had a stroke

JaneJeffer · 06/02/2025 18:14

Heath was her uncle because he was Donna's half brother. Or half uncle??

JewelleryCat · 06/02/2025 18:17

Family trees are complicated in Emmerdale!

Fleamaker · 06/02/2025 18:45

HollyBerryz · 06/02/2025 18:14

And her dad had a stroke

You wouldn't think it apart from the on/ off limp

JaneJeffer · 06/02/2025 19:00

Uh oh I'm worried about Aaron now

JaneJeffer · 06/02/2025 19:07

And now he's on the whiskey which is disastrous as far as Aaron (or Robert) are concerned Grin

JewelleryCat · 06/02/2025 19:07

Marlon should stop pushing her. I think she’s had enough questions

ilovebrie8 · 06/02/2025 19:09

Who is the baby’s dad? Some random?

ilovebrie8 · 06/02/2025 19:10

She’s not going home…is it someone in the village?

Jitterybugs2 · 06/02/2025 19:10

Nobody knows except Mary and she told Bob who will probably let it slip in the pub to everyone
