I have now give up watching Emmerdale,the writers need to get a grip and start writing believable story lines.the Dingles are NOT loveable rouges they are thieving criminals who always get away with crimes,Charity needs to pay for all her crimes and the ridiculous story line of her moving in with Moira and Kane is just crazy,so until the writers start coming up with decent plots I'm gone.

Cain*
give it another week 😄
i love the dingles bar charity, she is a step too far and agree needs commupance n the form of prison. or death
We are supposed to believe that Moira wouldn't notice knock-off cars being taken to the farm and the police wouldn't notice the evidence being driven away in front of them.
Moira then throws out serial crook Charity before, after all of about 10 seconds, she changes her mind and gives her yet another "last chance". Forget Pete co-operating with the police over Charity as you know it will lead nowhere.
We see hard men Cain and Zak (another pair of Dingle crooks) threatening a young lad over the flimsiest of evidence over Belle's injuries and Lisa in a flap when it's blatantly obvious she's self-mutilating.
How much of the 90 mins was devoted to toe-curling footage of Jimmy/Nicola and Marlon/Laurel wanting to have a sh*g?
The balance of the characters is now such that episodes can turn into a tedious Dingle/Barton show.
Highlight was June Ackland in that shirt - she didn't look half bad.
The lack of genuine resolution to any storyline is really frustrating with Emmerdale. It all just goes on and on and it's tedious.
I don't even watch it properly, I just know all the storylines via osmosis due to the missus being a fan.
SMH oh dear has Mary Whitehouse been revived?
Kate Oates has not produced one single ratings hit of her own during her entire reign.
These dire ratings [5.5 last night] should be taken note of by the people above her. She's had long enough to get things right but she's failed.
I agree with the OP about the Dingles.
But vulgarity? Where? Thursday's episode was about as vulgar as a Carry On Film. It was good humorous fun.
I concur. The show has mostly been terrible for ages, the only things I've cared about have been Donna/Ross and Robert/Lawrence/Chrissie. Two stories since the end of the Cameron one really isn't good enough.
Cain is the worst of the lot (it use to be Debbie the mafia don) despite having a softer demeanor in recent years. Every now and then the old Cain resurfaces. For example, the whole situation with Belle, he has no idea what's going on and rather than approaching Chrissie to get her side of the story, he decides to basically threaten her teenage son and lay down the Dingle Law in rather tedious fashion. It just made Cain look pathetic. When people have a problem, they go to Cain instead of the police lol. He really has become Emmerdale's answer to Phil Mitchell and not in a good way. I actually prefer Ross as at least he can be funny and doesn't throw his weight around.
Zak and Lisa are just plain annoying, always tip-toeing around the angelic princess Belle and blaming others for her fragile state. So tedious. And it amuses me how they always hate on the Home Farm residents and look at them as snobs, did they forget Lawrence bought them drinks in the Woolpack when he first arrived and socialised with them? Of course they forgot that. It's like their default setting to hate the Home Farm folk.
Laurel's no sex dilemma is about as interesting as watching paint dry the thought of Marlon Dingle humping anyone is a disturbing one. If that's not enough the antics of Jimmy & Nicola last night have scarred me for life. Robert & Andy's feud is tedious and I don't like where they're going with Robert & Aaron. I hope he's playing him.
There's nothing particularly wrong with Chrissie and her dad it's just no family in Home Farm is ever going to live up to the Tates. I would retire the set now. The Tates are too iconic viewers won't ever stop associating them with the place which has lacked something ever since they left. Characters who would be perfectly fine elsewhere end up looking really bland just because of where they are.
In complete agreement here. I thought Emmerdale could never get any worse than when the Dingles first arrived and there was some kind of stupid scene with Sam, Butch and an Elvis mannequin, but they became part of the show and found their niche, but my God have they become very annoying lately. Lisa just gets on my nerves the way she pussyfoots around Belle and is always ready to jump to her defense even when she doesn't need defending, and don't even get me started on the Dingle family loyalty crap with godfather Cain and queen of the tramps Charity lording it over everyone. That was ridiculous but could be tolerated, but the recent shagfest and the moaning about lack thereof by Laurel, and then Jimmy's arse on display tonight was just that step too far!
get it together Emmerdale, it's not funny and it's not clever! I actually preferred the Ashley beating up Sandy SL to this, and that is saying something!
They've put Cain's first scene up on the website and the Dingles were so much better back then.
