I agree that some of the current characters are a bit far fetched - but thats the reason we watch soaps isnt it ?

I have a monster soft spot for Alan Turner though so im glad he is still in it

I do think though that the current story lines are boring. I dont care about the haulage yard, and why does Scott now look and act like part of the mafia ?

I think the dingles have rapidly gone downhill - and what is wrong with Marlon ? He was handling his grief admirably, and i found his scenes with Trisha on the park bench touching beyond belief. But now - i dont care. His character has changed to a moaning minnie - and i wish he would just pack his bags and leave the village (but the dog can stay as she has more character than half the village).

I also cant stand that new woman in the woolpack - i cant remember her name. the sister of thingy (oh got, my memory on a friday is pants). She is a complete waste of space and i wish they would get rid .... fast.

Also - why has Zoe got a face like a smacked arse ALL THE TIME. Give her a girlfriend for gawds sake, the girl needs a snog at the very least

Remeber Eddie the double glazing salesman who arrived at Emmerdale to sell the village Double Glazing as nobody wanted it why did he not move on.

I thouht that Emmerdale was a conservation area anyway so even if people wanted Double Glazing it would not be possible.

emmerdale exploit tenuous links? never!! thats why scott and the new driver-guy always drink together despite one being the others boss, one living nowhere near the pub, neither having anything in common, and effectively having only ever met for 15 second bursts....

even my dad (staunch emmerdale supporter) agrees that when eddie got his head stuck in the till, the show had lost a HUGE amount of the little credibility it had left
