Blimey, what an anti-climax.
Just caught up on EE after a night on the ale, wish I'd stayed in the kebab shop to be honest.
All that build-up only for Janine & Esther Ranzen to stab the bugger.
Where was the twist?
Second time tonight I've felt short-changed.

The dire quality of what should have been a halfway decent week is another indication of just how badly EE needs a revamp and relaunch.
The production under LN has been terrible. Too many inadequate scripting and writing teams around.
To be fair to BBC1, they are realising the need for change. I am really optimistic about the 'dream ticket' of Dom Treadwell-Collins and Alison Davis taking the helm and now making such radical changes, which we should see begin to take shape on-screen when their first eps in charge air towards the end of November.
A new family and lots of axeings are promised.
Importantly, EE will apparently be drawing back some great, classic, older experienced writers from the nineties like Jane Hollowood, Rob Gittins and hopefully Susan Wilkins, Gillian Richmond, etc...It is a trueism in soaps that everything tends to fall into place once you get the basic essential element of QUALITY WRITING and ideas in place. Alison did this beautifully on Family Affairs in 2003, it was doing so well when C5 wrongly axed it to pay for the cr*ppy Aussie imports favoured by their parent company Freemantle.
Anyway, I am an Emmerdale superfan and even Alison and Dom will struggle to top the brilliance of ED at the moment.
But I certainly think they are a great choice and the best choice if the Beeb are to stand a chance of competing again.
All the acting apart from SJS was terrible and I wasn't impressed either.
All that manipulation, only for them to poke him with a bread knife.
Roflmao
Yes the build up was very poor, and LN is a very poor exec, but at least we had something dark!!
totally agree
I've got zero interest in Alice and Michael Moon so I was probably never going to enjoy story lines about them, at least its over now
Have to disagree. Jack Branning's exit had me filled with suspense and excitement during every scene.
Not to mention the fact that, now, we've got Max framed for attempted murder and Alice framed for murder...all in one tiny square and all at the same time. It reminds me of earlier in the year when we had about 3 different love triangles going on all at the same time. :rolleyes:
It was the hyper-reality created by the JackCam that did me in. Floods of tears all round.
Still, I am easily pleased. I've just been studying Google Maps, planning a route, and someone appears to have implanted the words 'Pity Me' a few miles north of Durham. When you zoom in, no such place appears to exist. Presumably someone living above Aykley Heads is having an existential crisis!
