Jamie Tate is supposed to be 25 years old this summer, his wife Andrea is presumably around the same age.
So why are scriptwriters teaming Andrea up with the old vicar Charles who is nearly 50?
I know they come up with unlikely pairings but this is just silly.
I agree, Xandra.
I thought it looks rather silly when they were attempting to flirt. A very mis-matched couple indeed.
Another one I’m fed up with is Chastity, and also Mandy Dingle for their constant screetching. Can’t these women ever just talk without pulling faces and screeching?
Rest assured Meena will work on upsetting that apple cart given she thinks her sister ought to be reunited with Charles . 
Oh she’s a right trouble maker, that one. I was almost screaming at the telly last night.
You will respect my marriage!
And if I don’t?
She is trying to break up Manpreet and Rishi…for what? Her own enjoyment and fun?
Oh, yes, very mismatched, Charles and Andrea. Why are all the women flirting with him, for crying out loud?
I don’t like her character at all, never have done.
Oh I don’t want Jimmy to go to prison !
Surely he won’t?
Don’t you think he looks a lot older lately?
I know the stubble doesn’t help, but he looks to have aged 10 years now.
He looks so different to when all his brothers and dad were alive.
I think there’s been a tv programme in which he could possibly have been hinting at his leaving Emmerdale ( I don’t watch these interviews ) so to be found guilty of causing a death by dangerous driving might be his exit storyline ?
Yes he’s looking older because he is older? 
Aha. You could be right. 
David in the shop has a baby son, Theo, who must be nearly two by now?
Not only do we never see him but he is never even mentioned.
Who is looking after him whilst David’s in the shop or gallivanting about with Meaner ?
Same with Victoria’s son. In Corrie, who has Harry while Sarah is working.
Come to think of it. Weren’t they identical storylines…both had a baby as a result of rape, both named them Harry?
I agree, and have noticed that loads of times, Jazzi.
They frequently seem to pinch each other’s storylines, and often at the same time as well.
I blame Sally Dynevor’s husband, Tim, as he writes for Emmerdale. Who knows what they discuss when at home. Or pillow talk.
Oh really? I didn’t know that.
Maybe that explains it then.
I don’t think we’ve ever got Emmerdale in OZ - is it the new “Coronation Street”?
Feel like not bothering with this programme anymore. 
Fed up with being force-fed gay issues, it’s way too overdone now.
That village gaypride event in one small village was so badly acted and amateurish, I lost all interest.
I realise many programmes and adverts now like to be seen as ‘modern thinking’, but how far will this go?
Two vicars in one small village would not happen.
Round this way it is the opposite, and ONE vicar has to cover several villages.
Then of course the vicar has to be black, and to make it more ‘acceptable’ his son has to be black and gay as well.
And how come that dozey doctor, Liam, is never at work?
And how come the vets are never at work, especially that sulky-faced twit, Jamie?
And if young Jacob’s hair gets any bigger, it will be taller than him! 
I think the storylines are awful now, with nothing to get your teeth into or look forward to at all.
Corrie’s just the same now, with such boring storylines and half the street with sexual problems.
So different to how it used to be with interesting and fun characters.
David mentioned his son Theo last night for the first time in almost two years.
It would be a mobile toddler by now, so who has been looking after it?
Certainly not David or Meaner. Maybe the poor thing has been shut upstairs in a cupboard.
And grandad Eric never sees or mentions it!
It struck me (and often does when watching other events like this) that I could never be an actor. I wouldn’t be able to set my prejudices aside to enthusiastically applaud a Pride thing!
Hah.
It also makes me laugh at all the so-called professional people in that village who are either in the pub or David’s shop all day.
