Soaps Ed.

I'm very disappointed to see Perdy/Grayson being neglected in the run down of best bits this year. The episodes where they lost their baby were heartbreaking and very well acted. Did we need reminding of Nicola's come back?

hi techies.

trishas death.

charity being jilted.

toms murder

the airplane crash

lens death( with the song by katherine jenkins in the background)

charitys wedding to chris.

 

these are in no particular order.xx

i can't wait to see that episode !!

Personally I don’t think this storyline is very original at all.  Andy Sugden starts a fire, which kills Sarah, and now Victoria starts a fire, which kills Jack couldn’t the story writers have come up with something better than this.  Okay kill him in a fire but let it be an electrical fault not another Sugden child killing a parent.

totally agree.  was there really any need for another death so soon after the last?  It's getting boring!

The thing that riles me about 'anniversaries' on any shows, whether soaps, or otherwise is.......

 

Why, oh why do most of them, be it 1, 2, 3, 4, etc hundreth, or even 35th year episode have to be 'disaster' orientated?? I'd rather have seen something like Perdy having a child via 'immaculate conception'....something HAPPY, for a change!

If Perdy did have a child by immaculate conseption it woudl would be a bit like dynasty you know where Bobby dies and then a few months later everyone in the show woke up and it was a dream .  Perdy cant have children herself she’s a hysterectomy.  Incidentally I did wonder when and how Katie would get more interesting her characters been pretty boring since the fight with Jo over Andy. 

didnt know jack was dead? have i missed something, i thought it was billy.

Nobody is dead yet are they?? Or did I miss something tonight??

Blame Richard Arnold on GMTV he led me to believe Jack died.  My first posting on this subject was posted before the episode was aired.  I dont think anyone will die now thankfully

at the time i'de heard half the villagers were wiped out, also that the village was being relocated????

The actor died for real. Very sad. He was great

I have loved Emmerdale for the past eight years since I started watching it - but can you tell me, why has it disintegrated into farce? My husband and I often say nowadays, oh here we go again, more  'supposed to be hysterical but is just really irritating stuff'. I assume it's the new director/producer who ruined Coronation Street, which I no longer watch, Tom O'Mara's influence, as it also went the same route into mindless sillyness and got rid of a lot of their interesting old characters? Let's have rounded strong characters, and not daft storylines set in the factory, cafe or wherever about cabages, nasty gossip, competition wins, etc. If Pearl wins any more she'll be permanently on holiday!  Please get rid of that ghastly new Genivieve..ugh.  When all the Kings were running their business, we didn't have so much rubbishy gossipy silly storylines, it was fun to watch. I'd guess I'll be giving it a couple more months and then I'll not be tuning in any more. Shame, I used to look forward to seeing the show.
