Onwards. I mean backwards.

Think you need Specsavers!

😂I suppose I'll have to take your word for it given your name

This is what happens when they have a never ending story that everyone is fed up of!

TellingBone · 10/02/2026 13:54

Actually this Specsavers soap could be a goer. Its USP could be that they keep swapping in lookalike actors so the audience is convinced their eyesight is going and they need to buy some glasses...

I do find Specsavers ads funny, but after a while they become boring, so they need to change frequently. I dislike the nosey old man one peering out of his window, then bending down so he’s not seen. True to life, though!

An optician opens a practice in the village. Like all the other medical people (except Liam) he is evil and is giving everyone the wrong prescription causing all sorts of chaos.

@bizzey @JaneJeffer

I love a good pun I do 😁 but they're a pane sometimes and my eyes just glaze over. 🫣

My favourite Specsavers moments are "not your Bebe' and poor guy in the restaurant who looks like Barry. The writers of those ads should have a go at soap scripts. Emmerdale producers are so short sighted.

I can guarantee that bizzey will not have realised what she posted 😂

Plus he’ll have affairs with most of the women in Emmerdale!

Is Arthur the only person who wears glasses in Emmerdale?

xSideshowAuntSallyXx · 10/02/2026 14:21

Paddy does too

JaneJeffer · 10/02/2026 14:23

Oh yes. Speaking of which I’m dreading Mandy’s return and all the flapping and growling she’s going to be doing.

Just going through in my head to see if I can recall anyone else wearing them. Think Jimmy and Paddy wear readers. Even Cain wore some once to read something with, or am I just imagining/fantasising?!

Yes it's been a nice break from all that carrying on!

They need to do another special episode involving all the Specsavers people. It can be all blurry like Cain’s episode but with the audio really low. They already have a horse and some sheep and can arrive in the village looking for someone to buy them if Barry’s lad can attach the trailer to the back of the jeep that is.

Or all coming looking for Buster (the dog)

Remember Liam allowed a fraud to practice in his surgery, he's not squeaky clean himself.

Mollypolly2610 · 10/02/2026 16:14

I missed years of Emmerdale can someone please explain to me how Gabby is Arthur's sister?

Their father was Ashley

RaraRachael · 10/02/2026 16:49

Gabby is Arthur's half sister. They both have Ashley as father. Her mother is Bernice, his is Laurel.

True but that’s stupidity rather than evil Grin

JaneJeffer · 10/02/2026 17:02

I’ve just seen Claudette playing a medic in Classic Corrie. She looked so young.

Illjusthavethebreadsticks · 10/02/2026 17:03

vinny wears glasses but hasn’t been seen for ages.

Oh yes. I wonder if he still remembers he fancies Lewis?

spannasaurus · 10/02/2026 17:11

Does Vinnie know that Tina is his mum yet?

JaneJeffer · 10/02/2026 17:29

He does. Hopefully she will stay away.

RaraRachael · 10/02/2026 17:36

Tina's appearance was yet another 5 minute wonder, thankfully.
They either have stories that last 5 minutes like Gabby and Vinny's marriage and Belle and Kammy's romance or dragged out forever like the current shit.

How silly I was to think that it would all be over by the new year.
