Emmerdale [ITV1 pace] ** NO SPOILERS ** Profanity and fearing for sanity at the prospect of Vanity

[TellingBone]

Oh noes

And I think it's a terrible message. So closeted gay men might be put off seeking someone to talk to because of this stupid storyline.
Told you so, best mates.

Of course Vinny won’t tell anyone

Jesus that was depressing

That was too much for this time of night. I’m not really a moaner but that was a lot of violence for before even 8.

Totally depressing , I’m going to need therapy soon if I keep watching

Was just about to say the same.

I like Vinnie and Gabby together, they're both nice people who deserve to be happy.

That was vile. Poor Vinny

I agree, too much for a soap that goes out at 7.30.

And the thing is that they warn about violence when it’s just someone getting a shove or something so we don’t heed the warnings now

Scriptwriters ....you got that o wrong ...so very , very wrong !

That was not what the views want.

We are watching Emerdale not a thugish gangster movie .!!

Will only n half watching now till his story finishes.

Doubt it is going to finish well. ☹️☹️😢

Not getting a good response on instagram either

That was an awful episode tonight. Poor Vinnie. And agree that it has done nothing for anyone questioning their sexuality and would even go as far as to say it has had a harmful affect ☹️

Not getting a good response on Facebook either.

For those of us who aren’t on instagram or facebook like me, what sort of comments is the episode getting?

People were switching off, walking.out of the room, saying it was too much. Basically what we've said on here.

I have just done my first ever OFCOM complaint !

This one is from someone who works at a helpline

Then on the flip side there’s this but he’s very much in the minority. I can see his point but the helpline aspect is such a bad idea. I can’t believe they went with it.

Hes wrong though, there was outrage about the Belle storyline

Yeah there definitely was. Nobody likes to watch these types of stories and especially when it’s happening to characters who have suffered so much already.

I missed last night's. Just caught up with last night's and tonight's. Disgusting. That was too much for a soap. I found it really upsetting tbh. Emmerdale and Corrie have really gone downhill.

I’m late watching tonight. I found that deeply upsetting. Kudos to the Mike actor though, he was utterly menacing and terrifying. I agree this could potentially stop somebody seeking help, but I imagine this sort of violence and blackmail happens more than we think. That was a very difficult watch.

where was chip?

The scenes tonight were very menacing for that time of the evening.

I turned off, I couldn't cope with watching that with Vinnie. Why do they think we want to watch this?
