...does anyone find it too violent at times?
Recent scenes between Cain and Robert, Ross beating that illegal immigrant and today Ross beating Robert again with the mugging, they just seem too much sometimes, what makes it worse is that these characters never suffer any consequences of their actions.
Other than that, it's a great soap:D:D

The Cain/Robert stuff where Cain tied him up was fantastic, I thought, because it showed Cain still had this violent side we hadn't seen for a long time.
But I am sick to death of Ross beating people up. Both the attack on the migrant fella and the attack on Robert tonight were both pretty stupid and unnecessary - and the scenes were thrown away like they didn't matter. It really is starting to feel like they don't know what to do with him.
Nearly all the time now. >:(
I assume it's simply the BIG build-up to next weeks HUGE Happenings, and creating lots of 'Whodunnit' types of story regarding revenge etc!
It'll calm down next month, and it'll be back to Edna walking/carrying Tootsie and tea-parties at Bobs Cafe! Trust me. (??)
Thought the worst bit of violence Ross did was on the old man who was stopping him from getting past. Last we saw of him he was left in a coma. Ross didnt bat an eyelid. Nothing excuses his violence - not even the cutesy April scenes.
But what about Cain, battering Robert? Along with punching Kirin and Dull Dan?
Or Aaron smashing a bottle over James's head?
Seems they always get excused for their violent actions by some posters.;-)
Just as bad I agree but Ross seems to do it all the time without any sign of remorse at all.
At least he isn't a hypocrite. Aaron is a violent thug who turns on the tear stick and it's ok because he's soooo upset. Cain killed an animal. He's the Dales version of that America dentist
Tracy from Corrie gets criticism on here for getting away with things, yet Ross commits crimes left right and centre and nobody bats a eyelid.
Not sure about that, I reckon it's been far better than it is now. Fair enough though
Yes we were saying this. I like emmerdale too, but the violence is getting silly now.
Every single episode someone beats up Robert (lol) people get kidnapped or shoved in the boot of the car
That scene with moira rushing to hit chrissie in the middle of cain beating up- Robert was actually hilarious though. Kept expecting harry hill to turn up.
BIB: That's not true - a lot of us have commented about Ross and his criminal ways including all the violence. Some people who liked him before now dislike him because they're so fed up of it.
The lack of aftermath to that bottle smashing was flaming ridiculous! Aaron never seems to give a toss about anything he does (because he's always the victim, boo hoo), James barely had a scratch, and no one did a thing - Diane didn't even chuck the little tosser out of living in the pub!
BUT I'm not going to get into bashing ED. It's a fun watch most of the time, they're just getting a bit lazy with the violence. When Ross held up Robert tonight, I barely looked up from my phone. Just thought, oh Ross is beating someone up again. Yawn.
Sort it out, Emmerdale, you're better than that.
Delighted to announce, btw, that the highlight of tomorrow's 1st epi seems to be:
Hurray!
I wonder how the nation's vets, farmers, slaughterers, gamekeepers, fishermen and hunters would feel about that:o?? Yes it's very cruel, yes many serial killers start off by doing that sort of thing but Cain isn't a serial killer. He is very violent, but Ross is far more so to my mind - because extreme violence to the extent of almost killing people seems to be his first resort these days. What had the old man or the driver done to deserve that? Got in between him and some cash. Pity he didn't bother to think about if he could do these 'jobs' without almost killing innocent people for the sheer cheek of getting in his way.
Aarin was wrong to hit James, but there was some provocation, although his response was out of proportion. Again, we don't see him attacking and almost killing people for cash . Ross haven't even showed the slighest flicker of the eyes or slight change of expression to suggest he even realises what he's done.Instead we get Ross nearly killing someone followed by a cute scene with a kid.
