Emmerdale

What with Val popping her clogs off on Emmerdale and England winning the Ashes I and my other half are having a really good weekend :slight_smile:

I ghost of Val was great, they did this before with Trisha so I didn’t really see her as a ghost more poor Eric trying to come to terms with her death like Marlon when he saw Trisha as she lay in hospital - just a coping mechanism.

Just read the TV mag for next week. Next week the Police find a body and they think its Ross!

Yes. That was quick. Normally we have to wait months.

Do you think Kirien will ever know that he is the Dad of Vanessa’s baby?

I felt sorry for Belle tonight, she really thought that Kirien likes her.

Who’s Vaneesa, is she new?, a bit behind here …

Vanessa is a vet, with Paddy and Pearl

Of course, I just couldn’t remember her as haven’t seen her for awhile, last night Charity had a dalliance with Ross and I read elsewhere that she has a baby( Moses) after all that problem with Jai … can’t wait to find out who the dad is …

Nine months= Declan says Mrs Dobra.

It was very sad seeing Eric in tonight’s episode. A lot of people think it was over the top but in my opinion it was highly accurate.

Death effects us all and if we actually let our emotions get the better of us we would act exactly as he did. So no it wasn’t over the top but actually spot on.

I know Val got on a lot of people’s nerves, but I liked her… Probably because she reminded me of myself in many ways!!

I agree susan. A good bit of acting, I thought. Poor Eric.

It was just ruined by the OTT stealing of the car etc and I must say I agreed with Edna the topless men were not appropriate for the church setting. Emmerdale has been one of the only soaps to treat religion with any dignity over the years it saddened me to see what they did last night :frowning:
Eric was as I expected as he is a really good actor. I thought Diane was fantastic too but if Alicia doesn’t stop going on about Portugal I may have to slap her, Paul disappointed talking business at his mother’s funeral.

Indeed. Emmerdale is the only soap I watch religiously these days. Eastenders lost me a few months ago when the storylines got stupid and Coronation Street… Well, I still watch it but I could take it or leave it.

Another Emmerdale fan reporting in …

I cringed during the funeral episode. I hope this isn’t a gimmicky ploy to have us all wanting razzamattazzy funerals on a par with Val’s. It was too OTT and verging on silly.

Back to the acting though … Eric was a bit over the top. But he’s grieving … and perhaps having to honour his wife’s wishes and idea of a funeral didn’t sit comfortably with his own? He had no input … she excluded him and his needs . and perhaps he might have preferred something quieter or more traditional?
Perhaps I should apply for job as script writer and characterisation :-p

I like Eric. He’s a good actor.

It would be good if he felt some guilt for Elizabeth’s death so many years ago, I often wonder why he is so unaffected by her death I always imagine killing someone changes a person but he carried on like nothing had happened.

Has anyone notiched how much Marlon looks like Andy Murray?

Lol now you come to mention it Doc …youve got a point there Ive never really taken much notice but youre right :wink:

Did any one notice the other night, when Ashley was visiting his son’s grave, he turned round and said to Laurel, about Vanessa’s baby skin colour! does this mean soon the truth will come out that the baby is Kirin’s.

I hope it comes out soon that Kirin is the babys father as I cannot abide that other pighead thick as shit bloke thinking its his …hes a neanderthal!!! DERRRR
