I believe the police opened up the cellar doors from the outside. I heard what sounded like sawing, or some equipment. They’d dropped the padlock keys in the water so the doors had to have been opened from the outside.
But what were they doing in the cellar when the first hostages just opened the front door as normal?
And how come with all the electrics + water down there, no swimmers got electrocuted until Cameron copped it I wonder?
They were those bulkhead lights for outside use, it was when that one got ripped away that it exposed the wires, but, there was the pumps & sockets I would have thought…Still don’t know why they went in the cellar at all really…odd!
Well I thought it was all totally powerful and brilliantly executed, although there were a few flaws.
At the end, Cameron grabbed hold of a lamp which had a metal shade and which eventually electrocuted him, thank goodness, but I would not have assumed that a cellar door where the dray men deposited the barrels could be opened from the outside, but would be unlocked from inside with a simple bolt when the dray men were due, but I’ve never been a landlady so I could be wrong.
The police helicopter was ridiculous because a chopper would not have been able to fly in such inclement weather with high winds and driving rain, so a helicopter could not have been seconded, despite Cameron’s demands for one and, in any case, where would it have landed for Cameron to get a free run to it? The fields were many many yards from the village so he would have been gunned down before he went a few feet and there would have been a marksman in the helicopter anyway.
Trivia perhaps, but it did make for an excellent conclusion to this storyline and now is the time for Chas and Debbie to heal. 
When Cameron let out all the other hostages he was sitting on the floor barring Chas’s way, saying ‘not you’ and dragged her back inside, her screaming for him not to touch her. He must have kept the door keys.
Debbie had gone to the cellar with those keys to check out on the noise Marlon had made, and they were therefore available to pick up by the girls.
Oh, thanks, Jazzi I must have missed that in the excitement!
Or in the dark Twiz as I was saying in another thread straining to see the action in the dark isn’t so easy.
No exactly. How on earth did the girls manage to see under water & hold their breath for so long, I noticed them actually talking while submerged!
Is it me or has Emmerdale gone a bit quiet since Cameron left?
They can’t keep up that level of drama all the time, that’s where Emmerdale is so strong IMO they are not afraid to calm it down for while and don’t make it excitement excitement all the way like some soaps try to do.
I think the best bit of the week was poor Alicia trying to explain to Jacob about his parentage, and Cain suddenly realising he actually has a son !
Aah yes Julie, I’d forgotten those bits, you’re right it was very good. Do we know where little Jakie has gone yet?
Thought Alan’s funeral saga was a bit daft, especially as the actor died last May in real life.
Trust Priya!
Watched Emmerdale omnibus this morning and was disgusted when Priya apparently vomited into the kitchen sink. Then walked away without either rinsing her mouth or the sink itself!!!
For heaven’s sake, let’s have a bit of realism here. It’s like other times when irons and cookers are never switched off in scenes. Little things that I notice and which annoy me.
Jazzi I thought exactly the same about Priya vomitting in the sink too. Anyone in real life would have washed it away and then rinsed out their mouth. She didn’t even hold her hair back either so got sick on that. YUK!
I don’t think her kind of character would really be bothered about someone else having to clean it! I hope she won’t get David back, looks like her plan! This Ashley and that awful woman is grating a bit, no a lot!
Revolting, I agree.
I have mentioned this elsewhere on 'tinternet, but will reiterate it here. Her family and all her sympathisers seem to have forgotten that to all intents and purposes David was married to Aliysha when she, Priya, first met him, fancied him, and threw herself at him with a vengeance. Yes I know he is a drip and she led him by the nose from the start, but it does not alter the fact that she knew he was married but still went for it.
As for Charity, surely it was only her fanatical fear of becoming pregnant and thus her probably being on the pill, that prevented her from becoming pregnant after her night of ‘sober’ passion with Declan. And lets not forget, that was not because Jai had actually done anything, except go on a long business trip which she built up to something else in her head.
He finds out about her little contretemps and gets bladdered and turns to the nearest warm body and whoopsadaisy, becomes a dad. Charity finds out about his drunken, not sober remember, but totally drunken adventure, and not only leaves him, but then gets totally bladdered herself and proceeds to make a drunken pass at the nearest male warm body. Anyone see the irony here? Surely Debs must have, so why did the normally outspoken miss not say something?
Of course Charity,s main beef is the fact that he has got from someone else the one thing he wanted from her and she refused to give him.
Well said!
She is a cow, isn’t she? But do you think, like me, that they may get together?
Yes Jazzi, I too think that Priya and David will get together again.
