    BiB 1 : does that mean you'll have to change your name? :eek:

    To what? Perhaps Desperate homeless would be a good choice because we cannot find anything we BOTH like!:mad: Tonight they turned up at 7.30 with a couple of pals to show them round. I wouldn't mind but no money./contracts have been exchanged. Still I got to watch most of ED.

    BiB 2 : OMG, yes, that's exactly what it looks like. Same colour and everything. Good spot. :D

    That coat is just so awful, wonder where she got it from? Hope it isn't from her personal wardrobe. :eek::eek:

    BiB 3 : I bet Frodo Baggins wouldn't kick him out of bed. :cool:

    But isn't Frodo a male?

    Oh dear, yet another one that I really don't know what to say. I have to admit that I just sort of gave up when they changed Dobbie's staircase without explanation. I didn't even recognise St. Orangina at the hen party and the blatant attempt by Moira to facilitate her affair with Alex went down like a lead balloon. Laurel just can't get any worse in my book, I don't know if that was what the producers were hoping for, I really don't.

    Tinkie, the "producers" (ha) thought we would all castigate Ashley and root for the so so so romantic pairing of Loopy and the Saint. But boy has this backfired on them.

    The more I see of Loopy the more I detest her and her gingerbread coat, as soon as Rodney said he had seen Ashley, up went her hackles all ready to do him down again, treating him like the devil incarnate, not a man who had been pushed to the limit with her and the cook mooning around like a right pair of tits, and his father rubbing in the fact that it was going on and him not doing anything about it. But even then she didn't seem to care, she acted like it was "so what, I'm the injured party here" seemed like Sandy has woken up to what exactly is going on at last.

    And while Rodney was telling it like it is, why did he not remind her that Gabby is not her child but his daughter's and Ashley's. Of course the kid is scared of him, no doubt she has been undermining Ashley to her on the quiet.

    As for Edna, too little too late girl, call yourself a Christian and the Jiminy Cricket of the village, well not any more, you have had a personality transplant courtesy of Surgeon Blackburn.

    Oh dear Mr Blackburn, I think we can put this one down as an own goal.

    BTW when all this with Saint Moron and his gingerbread doll start up, I shall V+ it and ff through all their bits.

    BIB sorry about mentioning Jiminy Cricket, it must be that coat bringing out the Grimm's fairytales in me.!!!

    Mr Mustard - Of course - it was Charles Dickens! I'm an idiot - I don't know why but I thought it was Isaac Newton! (Should have gone to......):o
    I don't think cameras were around when Isaac was Peaches :D
    Thanks Musty, you have completely vindicated me! Mr House swore up and down that it was Brunel.:mad:

    Hi Lotty :) I caught the end of tonight's show - Sandy sounded like a cross between Hitler and a constipated Dalek.

    I have got the perfect solution! Marlon can go to New Zealand and take her with him. Simple

    They're not going anywhere!:rolleyes: This is just a ploy to get Laurel to show her hand with the threat of losing Marlon to a land far, far away. She can finally give in to their so, so, so,so romantic love of the century! Don't you people understand!!:mad::D:o

    You do know its not ALWAYS about Loopy don't you? I know it might seem that way to you/me and her for that matter, but their are other character in the show.

    Or i hope evil demon producer Blackburn know this too.

    If not go with what you said in the first place.

    Couldn't have put it better myself. I'd rather see Laurel & Moron written out of the show than continuing their relationship. Totally unbelievable.

    Analysis of ED Character update. (promise not to do this everyday)

    1) Ashley if someone comes looking for you to help accept that help, it patently obvious he won't last long on the streetd, i'd give him two weeks at most before somone finds him dead in an alleyway.

    2) Lupine Laurel, what a hateful horrible woman, I thought she was bad yesterday but this ep her behaviour really takes the biscuit effing Cow. Someone tells her her husband is missing living on the streets and she couldn't care less bitch.

    3) Sandy even though it was him who was mistreated he showed more compassion and worry for Ashley in his left little fingernail than Laurel (what a bitch she is)

    4) Rodney what a dimwitted falling for that lame trick from Ashley at least he cares.

    5) Eric, thought he had come round to the marriage but still a misery guts

    6) Brenda, thought she was going to blurt the truth of the marriage to the pub but uncharacteristically didn't.

    7) Amy scrubbed up well

    8) Victoria, Same

    9) David was funny and couldn't get into a nightclub do to his clothers.

    10) Nikhil, unusually he was the sensible one.

    11) Alicia, still hopelessly in love with David, strange girl.

    12) sam, how does he manage to get all the exciting storylines

    13) Sarah likes New Direction, is there no end to the suffering that evil Demon Blackburn will put Sarah through.

    14) Debbie still blissfully ignorant to Cam and Chas.

    15 Chas still planing to run away with Cameron, doubt it will happen though.

    16) Edna was bossy big suprise that

    17) Cameron is a dirty ding bat

    18 Nicola, warning red alert mentions of Kelly is she coming to stay.

    19) Jai was Jai

    Meanwhile die Lupine Laurel die.

    I've never found David remotely funny. In fact with hindsight, the moment when he appeared in that wedding dress was actually when Emmerdale jumped the shark. An all-time low in the show's history - embarrassingly awful.

    He feels the village has turned their backs on him; not surprisingly after how Laurel behaved; Nicola not allowing him to stay with Rodney; Enda turing her back; villagers yelling at him in the pub. He feels humilated and that he's a burden

    It's not even that she's fallen out of love, which I could understand, she doesn't seem to care about him at all; he's still her husband in name; he's the father of her children; she was married to him for 7 years, even on a basic human level how can you care so little. He was a good father, he never wronged her or mistreated her. Even so, she treats him like something she has scrapped of her shoe.

    Even if Sandy is hurt and upset, Ashley is still his son and of course he's going to be worried about him. i think Sandy does accept that Ashley regrets his actions and has shown remorse. Sandy may be an atheist but he could teach both the Vicar's wife and Edna a thing or two about compassion and forgiveness.

    Can't believe he fell for that. Rodney is a decent man though and a good friend

    kwynne42 wrote: »

    I get that he's trying to protect David and the marriage is sham, but is a sham marriage that bad where both parties know what they are doing and are going into it with open eyes- David is hardly likely to be hurt by it. The real problems is that Alicia is in love with David, that's why it's a terrible idea but Eric doesn't know that

    On the other hand almost everybody else loved that.

    I disagree Musty- no way were those scenes an all time low- there's a lot of problems with this show- but David is not one of them.

    It was a silly/funny scene (though that is of course subjective). I think Matthew has good comic timing and I find a lot of his scenes with Nikhil funny in a way some of Marlon and Paddy's 'comedy scenes' are not. I think it is because with both actors the delivery is often completely straight and involves none of the face pulling antics that Marlon can get up to.
    I accept that others won't find him funny but even excluding that he's a nice character who isn't miserable and shouting all the time.

    I'd quite happily watch a drunk David in a wedding dress any day over endless Maurel or Chameron scenes, or Zak wandering the moors, or Ashley getting robbed.

    Oh, please! :rolleyes: You don't think your dislike of David as a comedy character makes your opinion hopelessly bi-ased?

    There were far worse things going on in 2011 - that pathetic fire which killed Viv and Terry; the equally pathetic hostage plot with Katie and Henshall that followed; Sarah's nigh-on invisible illness; Moira bonking Cain :rolleyes:; Adam bonking Ella :rolleyes::rolleyes: and the truly worst moment in the show's history - Jackson's assisted suicide :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Sensationalist, lurid, self-indulgent hogwarts.
