Emmerdale [ITV1 pace] ** NO SPOILERS ** Emmerdale - Corriedale large scale tragic tale

[TellingBone]

There are more questions than answers...

Is that what was in the back of his van, Ray? It was too dark for me to make it out

I think it's going to be Ray's body in the van but it was far too dark to see anything.

Sorry @JaneJeffer I think I read that the flashbacks are the last week of January

Ah damn it @RaraRachael I feel like I’m going to be doing a lot of complaining this month (just for a change)

We saw Ray’s body when Jai pulled up at the crash and he returned to the depot without noticing it.

Wouldn't the body be decomposing by now? I watch loads of crime programmes anx am always surprised at how quickly it happens

Yes Ray's definitely in the back of Jai's van. We saw it in Corriedale.

Thanks @bizzey and @TheHillIsMine yes it was the laptop of Belle's abuse. I wonder what other 'evidence' Moira has hidden on her shelves?!

I think we’re supposed to believe it’s still the day after the crash are we?

Loved Aaron keeping up his tradition of leaving hospital and going straight for a pint

Oh are we @JaneJeffer I thought it was real time but then couldn't understand how they'd just noticed Ray's car in the village 4 days later

His body would be honking if that was the case 🤣

Just going off the conversation between Jai and Caleb where Jai said he’d been stuck on the road all night and had got no sleep.

There’s a clip of Emma Atkins chatting to the actress who plays Shona on Corrie where they’re comparing bumps. She said she doesn’t know how far along she’s supposed to be because they fast forwarded it!

I reckon poor Bear is deaded. I am amazed that everyone is being so understanding to Dreary and her boyfriend. I appreciate they have been victims in it all but I'd have thought that the initial grief/shock would have at least made a few people go down the 'Why didn't you tell us about Bear?' route, even if just initially.

Yes it's only a day after the crash based on Jai's comment to Caleb. Although in Corrie it seems to be that more time has elapsed as Todd and Summer are already planning Billy's funeral 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Thanksforyourlackofthought I thought it was ridiculous that Paddy blamed Moira for everything (presumably as she is going to take the fall for everything when the police find the passports so setting the scene) but didn't think Dylan or April had done anything wrong when they've kept quiet about Bear's whereabouts for weeks.

I feel the same @PrincessScarlett

I don't think I'd have much sympathy for April to be honest, mind you I can't stand her, I think she did a terrible job of that whole story, she's not good enough an actress for it, then again if I was Rhona I'd never forgive her for bringing drugs into the house and I'd leg it off with Graham 😉leave her and Marlon to it.

Exactly that! It was almost like Paddy was saying that Moira knew all about it. I get that he’s angry that she didn’t pursue anything when she found out about the forged signatures but April and Dylan have actually admitted they knew bear was there. And Moira choosing not to do anything about somebody dodgy signing her signature on invoices/orders is a whole different ballgame to knowing that she’s got slave labourers stashed up there.

Oooh, Graham. 😍😍😍

Is anyone watching Good Ship Murder? Turns out Brenda is still on a cruise 😁

Ha! We saw that and said the same, another crossover 🤣

@Ellenanora7 you're right about April. Let's hope she doesn't feature so much in 2026 as I'm sick of seeing her in just about every scene.

Paddy was awful blaming Moira for everything whilst not saying anything about Dumb and Dumber not saying they'd seen Bear.

Sadly I think Bear might be dead. Ray appeared to have a bit of a conscience but Celia had none.

Just watched it, agree Bear’s a gonna.
Mary calling April poppet again…yawn.
Kim’s made a remarkable recovery hasn’t she?
And Joes hair/beard switched lengths every scene, wake up continuity!

@Middlemarch123 I was shouting at the telly when Mary started that bloody poppeting again. At least it was slightly more appropriate being addressed to April than Rhona.

it annoys me when they keep saying it’s not your fault April ,, it is all your fault April

I think the difference between April/Dylan and Moira and why Paddy blames Moira is that she's an adult, she should have done something when she found out about the forged signatures, she should have done some research into the person she was doing business with. The fact she never once went to Celia's farm is unbelievable.

Paddy is lashing out but the kids were scared, April had seen Dylan get run over, she knew what Ray and Celia could do and they had threatened her family. They were groomed. He can't and won't turn on a child.

Just realised my post from 3 days ago didn't send! This is it ...

Omg, who the f**k is Kit?! More confusion for those who don't watch Corrie

Sorry, ignore my last post..it did send! Thanks for the replies x

I wonder why the scriptwriters thought it would make good viewing to heap years of trauma on April. She lived on the streets (as she frequently likes to mention), gave birth to her still born baby in a public toilet, been groomed, sexually assaulted and used as a drug courier. She’s been terrorised by Celia and Ray, made to watch a live stream of Dylan being mowed down by Ray’s car etc.

Then we could dig further back. Losing her mum in traumatic circumstances. And she’s been dangled by the ankles off the roof of a multi storey car park. Then as if all that wasn’t bad enough she has to contend with Marlon and Rhona’s utter stupidity.
