I had hoped that Kate Oates was more in touch with the feelings of the nation, (or at least the feelings of DS
Oh well, maybe things will change between now and then. Let's try and think positive.
I think she has been necking some of Rhona's pills for her to think that
To try and be a bit fair, I do actually think Marlon was a fairly popular character, (even with me
I didn't even mind Laurel when she was married to Ashley; I thought she was fine as the vicar's wife.
It hasnt got anything to do with looks. Its to do with the way the characters behave as if they have never done anything wrong. Laurel treated Ashley like a leper when he hit his father, even though it was her and Marlon that basically made him have a mini breakdown. She wouldnt even go looking for him when he was homeless and stopped him for seeing his children.
Marlon pretends he is a such a lovely sincere character but look at the way he went on when Donna cheated on him yet he does the exact same with Laurel and behaves as if there is nothing wrong with that
Nether do Cain and Moira. John died a broken hearted man thanks to Cain and Moira. Cain never expressed any remose for what he did. Yet 6 months after John's dead he's moving in John's farm and shagging John's widow in John's bed. But that's OK because Cain and Moira are good looking and have chemistry.
John did'nt die a broken man. Him and Moira got back together. Anyway I happen to think that Laurel is quiet an attractive woman
Yes, she is an attracive woman... on the outside... but inside she's as ugly as an ugly thing that's especially ugly that has a degree in ugliness. (Not to be confused with the actress who I'm sure is lovely in and out)
Marlon is mouth breathing knuckle dragger, his gurning always does my head in, as does his constant whining voice.
I hate Marlon and Laurel, if they're getting more screen time I WILL switch off!!!!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad:
Such as shame as Emmerdale have been doing so so well
They have irritating personalities, which are exacerbated when the the two of them are together.
There is absolutely no indication at all that they're in any way attracted to each other, or ever have been. They were mates, that's all.
Marlon thinks every woman who looks twice at him is the great love of his life, so it's impossible to take him seriously, and Laurel suffers as a character for this is as well.
Compared to how Laurel and Ashley just seemed natural and believable as a couple (as did Paddy and Rhona) - they were relaxed, bickered a lot, but genuinely seemed to like and care for one another, and had some intimacy. There's no indication of that whatsoever with Maurel.
In fact, since the whole car jacking thing the impression I get is that Laurel can't be bothered with Marlon and has very little respect for him.
The guy who plays Marlon is not a very good actor, IMO, and it's awkward and embarrassing watching him try to do any sort of romantic, or relationship based scenes. He acts like a teenager completely smitten with someone, not an adult trying to build a relationship with someone he might want to spend the rest of his life with.
There are couples that you can enjoy watching on screen, because they seem to just 'work' together, regardless of how physically attractive they are. You can relate to them, because they seem like everyday couples - they're not in the first flush of romance and sexual attraction - but they have a genuine love, are committed to each other and are building a future together. Roy and Hayley in Coronation st are an obvious example, as were Laurel and Ashley. Lisa and Zak are another.
Exactly. John and Moira's relationship split was caused by them.They weren't happy and Moira went looking for an affair. Cain was happy to stir things up, but John and Moira were the ones who weren't making their relationship work.
There's nothing wrong with either Marlon or Laurel looks wise. They're just normal, everyday people in that department. In fact, as you say, Laurel can be quite pretty. It's not about looks, or even chemistry. It's about the characters' personalities and how they are as a couple.
Totally agree with you. I don't mind Marlon, I actually like Laurel, I just do not like them as a couple. I don't think they have any 'chemistry' at all.
I bought in years ago to the Laurel and Ashley love story and Blackburn destroyed it, I don't mind Laurel and Marlon as characters, I just can't stand them together. I will be gutted if they marry the two off.
Maurel and Laurel, on the other hand, do not work well together. The writing that put them together was also unbelievable, but what really kills them is that there's no romantic spark there to sell the unbelievable plotting. They are one of those couples that might work OK as friends but have no sexual chemistry whatsoever (see also: Alfie and Roxy in Eastenders.) It has nothing to do with looks, it's all about connection between the actors.
BIB Agreed, he seemed fixated on putting those two together. Laurel and Ashley just somehow worked - they figured things out together, they were very much like a team. Even when Sally Spode was flung at them and they almost broke up, they still got through it, and we saw the lengths that Laurel went to out of love for Ashley, and anger at the damage Sally had done to their family.
*runs
And poor Ashley has been left wandering around in search of another storyline ever since.
You are a person of true honour and courage, to admit such a thing:p:p:p
No, he is basically a decent person,I'll give him that:D;)
Yep, Ashley would never do that and although it was an interesting storyline in some ways it just was not believable for him to do that.
