Have the scriptwriters on Emmerdale become totally brain dead.

I have been an ardent fan for many years but now switch off regularly due to the abysmal story lines.  For example, in Thursday night's episode Jimmy follows Cain out of the village only a few car lengths apart and then Cain stops and Jimmy passes him and then stops his car and gets out in full view of Cain as if neither knows the other is there.

Are we expected to believe anybody would be so stupid as to do this or does the producer think that the viewers will continue to watch irrespective of such garbage. I could produce a list as long as my arm of other ludicrous plots but restrict my comments to one other.  The murder was beyond any sort of credibility.

Emmerdale allegedly portrays itself as the everyday life of people in the Dales.  Ha Ha

SACK THE SCRIPTWRITERS AND LETS HAVE SOMETHING WORTH WATCHING 

Must admit I did watch with a slight frown thinking surely they don't expect us to believe this - don't the realise we do actually have brains and do quite like using them occasionally !

just remember that it was dummbo jimbo that was after cain,, i dont take it serious ,like to get away from normal life for half hour,

Well as we now know, Cain was leading gullible Jimmy on a wild goose chase.

David is now the councillor, how come he seems to be more busy than Eric ever appeared to be?  We never saw Eric being approached by the locals as much as David.

Lol that was said in the woolpack last night too so the writers obviously realise it's happening too.

David seems to be constantly eating in the Woolpack (or cafe), so its easy for the locals to nobble him.

That's true, but I don't ever remember Eric having a surgery in the village where people could go and see him.

No one in soaps ever seems to eat or even put the kettle on at home. People seem to leave their house and shlep over to Roy's Rolls and pay for tea or coffee that they have in their own kitchen 100 yards away. There's a credit crunch on too lol

That's true and after all the food and drink is consumed very few go to the loo and no one get's their dinner down them
