5.63?? What kind of unusually specific scale do you use to judge a soap? For me, the hour-long episode was a full 10. From the opening refrain of Embrace's "Ashes" to the "Spot the stiffy" references to people having new lives (all week long too!) to the ad breaks framed by silence, to the Sadie twist and final smirk, all brilliant.
I'm not one of these who gives out a 10, that would suggest nothing could have been done differently to make the episode better and I don't agree with that for ANY soap episode.
5.63 would equal good, certainly above average.
It was a good episode, fairly dull for the first half hour or so but the last 20 mins or so were great.

I completely agree.
It was full of twists. Sadie 'knocking off' Jimmy. Noreen's wig staying on as she got blown down the stairs!
The silence was great. But any normal being would have called an ambulance in a split second.
Brilliant tonight, very well done and sure to win spectacular scene, because quite frankly - they are best at it.
Incredible episode tonight - a great effort by all of the cast and crew. I loved the little details e.g Danny and Dawn remembering their past, Viv worrying about all of her children etc, even SCOTT!.. But Sadie being super-bitch was the highlight!!!!!!!!.
Great epsiode tonight only thing i dont understand is Sadie hitting Jimmy why didnt she just help him?
Noreen fallign down the stairs :eek:
Cos she's a bitch, she hates him, and wanted revenge for what he planned to do. She obviously hoped she'd finish him off for good. You just knew she'd tell Tom she had no idea where Jimmy was. That's why, as he survives, she plans revenge at a later date. I'm SO glad she dies in the end. Hope it was slow and painful!
The explosion was great, I didn't expect the entire house to be reduced to a pile of what looked like cardboard, but they spent too much time on Jimmy and Sadie after it, I wanted to see everyone outside doing more of their frantic rescue act!

Yes, Also, I realise they probably don't see houses explode every day, but it would have been more natural, the moment everything stopped, collapse wise, for everyone to run to the rubble screaming peoples names, not stand artistically for 5 minutes, admiring the rubble! That was just totally unrealistic, you wondered what they were waiting for! (apart from the ad break!)
the digger broke one of the gas pipes so when dawn was going on about the funny smell, it wasnt shadrach it was gas she could smell! so when noreen opened the airing cupboard it triggered off a massive gas explosion.
does anyone actuall know why the house blew up or will that be revealed soon?
I don't usually watch Emmerdale... but from the previews just had to see tonight's...
I'm pretty sure it must've been a gas explosion, as turning on a light in a room filled with gas will have the same effect as lighting a match in the same room.... BOOM!
I agree with a previous poster though, the whole house collapsing was a bit OTT, and surely if it was a gas explosion, there would be one big explosion and not a series of explosions like there were...

EDIT: I mean before the explosion because that was spectaculer
She is killed in a car crash soon
Talk about a blown lightbulb! The electric companies sure are coming down hard on people who don't pay their bills these days.
The stuff with Noreen opening the airing cupboard happened so fast. I knew it was coming, but I didn't expect it to happen so fast.
Glad to see Dawn getting buried under the wreckage like that. Not long now 'til she's a goner.

And where are Marlon and Donna gonna live now?!
Is she really being killed out?
Who actually dies from the events tonight?
Not in tonights episode she didn't!
Noreen is obviously dead, not long now to the end of Dawn

As you can see it's that posters opinion.
Patsy was good tonight, tearstick or not - the bathroom scenes were amazing.
A cracked pipe left over from Cain's JCB attack.
I can't wait.
Tonight's episode: 10/10
Decent acting from everyone. Even Patsy Kensit wasn't too bad tonight. :eek:
The stars of the show had to be Donna and Marlon though. I really felt for them both.
Poor Noreen. I found the way she was just blown away like that quite disturbing to watch.
Hail the legend that was Noreen! Anyone who indirectly causes the death of Dawn is a legend!

Sadie definitely, absolutely, dies in the mangled metal of her car.
No one knows for sure. Noreen definitely, Dawn maybe, and someone else.
