I quite fancy that man in the Honest Broadband From Yorkshire adverts. He's very cuddly, and I bet he's dead dirty in bed once he's had a Stella Artois. Agatha is impressed.

No, Rosalyn Landor, from the s[in off 'C. A. T. S. eyes'. Her voice did things to me when I was a teen.

Yes. It terrified and angered me. Evil witch.
That episode of Emmerdale appeared to be more on a "simmer" setting than "boil"
DI Fletcher was very badly acted, although still of Oscar winning standard when compared to the likes of La Ford (Tracy), Ms. Cotton (Sean) and Jimmi H (Dev) from Corrie. The final scene with Jai was particularly cringeworthy.
I see that Aaron, Chas and Debbie are still believing everything that Cain has said despite the fact that they all knew he was trying anything and everything to break up Jai and Charity. This plot doesn't make them seem as completely stupid as Steve from Corrie is being at the moment but it's coming fairly close to it.
Marlon, Laurel & Ashley is boring me at the moment too.

She played Pru Steadfast of course but only did one season. Her replacement was Tracy-Louise Ward.
Leslie Ash played "Fred", pre trout-pout.
I know my C.A.T.S Eyes (as well as Abba!
)

God bless her, so looking forward to that new film to remind us of her 'strong leadership' and the glory days.

Hey! She was one of the worst old Dr Whos! The much hated 'Timelash'. Infamous in Whovian circles for having a title that is an anagram of 'Lameshit'

Knowing my Doctor Who better than C.A.T.S Eyes (and as well as Abba) I would say that Timelash has a bit of an unfair reputation.
True, it's not "great" or even "good" or even "average" but there are a fair few stories out there that are much, much worse!

She's biased against Jai and I am beginning to suspect that Cain didn't name him.
I wonder how they managed to catch the car thief?
VIcar watch......Yet again. No caring witnessed.

Or Easter, or August Bank Holiday, or the third Sunday after Pentecost
it's been a dry old year.

must admit this whole cain storyline is doing my head in, they've got everyone acting completely out of character
also whoever hit him should have hit him much harder

You have to finish the job. A dead witness is a poor witness
'Ow Do!
Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetings Pickeh!
He'd make a lovely nurse - well he would if he wasn't so miserable and violent. Loved it when he was going to go for Jai and nearly knocked Cain over. Way to go Aaron!
To me they look like 'bloke' blokes who don't send Christmas cards so yes I agree! People might not send them one knowing they wouldn't get one back Unless they're from clients .....
Bloody hell! Is ED that bad that I'm yapping on about the King's Christmas cards?!
Agreed. It's shocking.
You'd have thought so but this is ED innit. Maybe the idea of spending one more night with Ashley and Sandy glaring at each other drove her to drink?!
Don't you know Gulf? When a Dingle gets whacked on the head and legs it automatically canonises them absolving them of all their sins. Either that or the rest of the Dingles brains malfunction too and they have a wipe out so they forget what a tw@-t he was in the first place and that he drove someone to try and cave his head in through his behaviour!
LOL!!!!
Couldn't agree more. Add Debbie to that list too. Each of these characters is pathetic. Chas because she's totally anti-Charity when they're not only cousins but have been best friends for years. Surely you'd still be torn even if you thought her fella had attacked Cain? Debbie is ridculously anti her mother (Charity) and ludicrously pro Cain even though she chucked Cain out the night he was attacked! And quite frankly Aaron wants looking at because he seems to have a thing about hospitals and invalids now - Cain should run if he tries to give him a drink! But seriously, they're so black and white about it and I doubt you would be. You'd be sympathetic to the victim but not forget what that person did that led to them being attacked. He's no angel, they should remember that.
It's starting again .... :yawn:
How old is their oldest child? I always assumed they got married because she was pregnant yet Holly doesn't seem 21 to me.
LOL, she was so funny.
Well they DID ask him to go with them voluntarily ....
Agreed. The run up and actual episodes were great but it's crap now. I thought we were going to be given hints, teased etc but its been rubbish. They shouldn't start something like this if they can't keep the momentum up. The reveal should be good too but the middle bit has been a damp squib.
Me too Pickeh, me too. The One Show is looking more and more inviting every day except I'd miss this and other ED threads!
Just couldn't wait to get your kit off could you?
Not quick enough the way he's morphed back into Angry Young Man (or should that be 'thug'?) at the moment.
I agree. If it was a newcomer to the village it would have been more understandable for me too.
I'd love to see Alicia end up with David but Cameron is a good second choice
True. She shouldn't be mentioning them getting back together but weedle her way back into the home first (even if it's only an hour or so at a time) making herself useful, letting him see how things used to be before she destroyed it etc.
Exactly. Apart from being tormented by Aaron and needing help I can't actually see how Cain is suffering. His sins have been forgiven by all his family!
The forensics didn't even implicate him! That is absolutely ridiculous. And you have a point there, soap solicitors can be strangely mute!
I'm worried about Sandy, if he doesn't shut up I'm sure Ashley is going to attack him

Chas has become quite interfering and judgemental lately. As for her son, I've gone right off him. Aaron has come over all self righteous, conveniently forgetting his own thuggish past. Why is he hero-worshipping Cain anyway? Feeling quite sorry for Charity at the moment
Quite liking the idea of Carl, Jimmy and Cameron joining forces.
I hope Pa Barton doesn't take Moira back. And I wish Hannah would stop putting pressure on her dad to do so. It's not like she's a little girl anymore. She'll probably be off to Uni soon.
