Emmerdale Live - just seen it
I've just seen Emmerdale Live tonight and have to say I thought it was outstanding and much better than I expected. I have watched all 3 of the soaps to have done a live episode for years and think Emmerdale's was on a par with Coronation Street's and better than Eastenders. In terms of the episode there was the death but considering there was less "sensationalism" in Emmerdale's than the other two, I though it was fantastic.There were minor mistakes and I personally thought the Chas/Carl/Cameron storyline was let down by poor dialogue for both Chas and Cameron, and odd lines for characters such as David and Paddy. I think the actors all performed well and at times I forgot it was live.
Who stood out for you and delivered the best live perofrmances? The surprising thing for me is that the ones who impressed me were not characters I usually like, nor considered the strongest actors. For me, Charley Webb, Jeff Hordley, Tom Lister, Sian Reese-Williams and Mark Charnock were the strongest by far in the Live episode. I thought Lucy Pargeter and Dominic Power were two of the weakest, whereas I normally find them brilliant.
