ED: Adam's Paternity Revealed (SPOILERS)
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s1...oDr3jeWt6fHpXa
I'm not happy that it's been revealed that John was not his biological father. When the Bartons first arrived, they were all shown to be this very happy, very tight-knit family, with John and Moira's marriage being totally rock solid. As someone revealed in the comments in the link above, Moira was furious when John kissed Eve. Also, it had been revealed to us that Cain was supposed to be the first time that Moira had cheated on John. I also really liked John's and Adam's father and son relationship. The actor who plays Adam said that Adam really looked up to him. When he died, I remember it being a big blow for him and he blamed Cain for his death, almost killing him in revenge. I think it's a real shame that they've completely rewritten history by there not being the tight-knit feel that the family once had when they arrived and by changing Moira's relationship with John. |

I wish it wasn't true. I can't stand James. Now he'll annoy Moira even more intensely.

I'm not surprised, yet I'm still disappointed they've gone down this route. I hate retcons and this one really damages Moira as a character. It also gives James another reason to stick around, ugh. The fact that Adam looks like a mini-John and has absolutely zero resemblance to James just makes the whole thing even harder to swallow.

I'm really disappointed, I knew they were going to do it as soon as it was even in question but there's just no need for it. Even if they'd just said that Moira and John had an affair years ago if they wanted a story. To change the paternity of Adam just seems like a cheap attempt cop-out for a storyline especially as everyone else has said, when he looked up to his dad so much.

How disappointing, I take that means James will be staying for the foreseeable future and there will be a long laborious story line about Adam finding out and eventually accepting him.... can't wait

If they just wanted an excuse for massive bust-ups between Cain/Moira, Cain/James, Adumb/everyone, the revelation of a past affair would have sufficed. I don't see what else can be added by making Adumb James's son.

This is just getting daft now. It isn't even needed at all. It's just your bog standard 'you can't have sex without getting pregnant', story line.

I am really disappointed by this, it totally ruins what we thought about John and Moira.
Hate what they're doing to Moira. I really want Granny Barton to come into ED to come and tear strips of Moira the harlot! |

In soapland having sex guarantees that you get pregnant every time - shame about this SL it isn't needed. |

Adam looks nothing like James. John looked more like he could be Adams Dad, as John was quite dark. But even that was a bit of a stretch, as Adams looks mixed race anyway. The person who does the casting in Emmerdale needs sacking! Lol

I would have preferred (if it had to go here) neither as a story line. I think that would have way more scope & depth rather have than this tripe
For me, this is your 1st BIG mistake ep Oaks (or whatever your name is ) |

It gives them a reason to keep James Barton around *insert yawn smiley*

Hmm, I just can't believe both weddings will go ahead without a hitch - goes against every soap law known to man.

Adam is Jasons brother from coronation street and looks nothing like that barton bloke lol
Moira is becoming a character that men fall over themselves to go near , she is pretty but nothing special . she turned Cane from a monster into a pussycat the whole storyline is unrealistic come on Emmerdale you can do so much better |

Add me to the list of the disappointed
And disgusted at the bloody storyliners who just don't seem to know when to stop with the sensationalism. The affair reveal just wasn't enough for them, they HAD to add the paternity issue on top *roll eyes* making Moira out to be a total hypocrite for the way she went on with John when he only kissed Eve! That and that fact that she wasn't honest with him, she let him bring up his nephew as his son. Doesn't cover her in glory. And it'll mean more James *yawns* |
