The fact that James' runaway wife Emma keeps getting mentioned has to be significant, right? If they wanted to introduce James as a single father they could've just said she died years ago. So she's obviously been kept alive for a reason. Either she will turn up in the village at a later date, or she'll be found buried under a patio somewhere...

Option number 2 might finally make James a bit more interesting but it'll be laughable if Chas has gone from one killer to another. She should just give up on blokes altogether and run off with that women who was eyeing her up last night.

Isn't Emma Barton the actress who plays Honey in Eastenders and has just reappeared

I don't agree with any parent who walks out on their kids because the relationship is over, so if she comes back now it will be unrealistic and annoying. Why would she return, what reason would she have other than to beg for a kidney off one of her sons

I'm hoping she turns up buried under a patio/in the top field of the farm that James used to run/buried in a barn somewhere.

It would make sense - as it's very unusual for a mother to walk out on her kids - unless it's a domestic violence situation - particularly as Finn wasn't much more than a baby (at least from what I thought James was saying last night).

Nor do I. What sort of mother walks out on her young children because her relationship with their father has fizzled out? I say there's more to this story than we've been told so far.

She could have been driven mad by it, maybe in an institution

I think he's talking absolute B-S about Emma. The man's a swagging, heavy breathing contradicting with personal space issues. Things he says rarely make sense and go against his previous actions.

but he is very beautiful

Yes she is. I was confused for a minute.

He is good looking but him being a total creep sort of takes the edge off for me.

If you don't mind I shall paraphrase...

He's an arse.

I thought this thread was to do with the actress that plays Honey Mitchell in EastEnders... I know its= says EmmerDale, but .... honest mistake, eh

Just a bloke speaks Just the truth.

That scene with the woman fancying Chas was lifted straight out of Bridget jones diary - even down to how the woman looked and smiled.

I thought that writing 'Emmerdale' in the thread title was enough of a clue that it wasn't about EE. Guess not...

Saucer of milk for Steve!

You'd assume so.
I knew exactly who you were talking about Steve.

A lot of woman suffer from post natal depression and some are severe. I don't think they intentionally leave their family, but they are ill and are not thinking straight. Very sad for everyone.

That was only an idea, before anyone says no one mentioned depression !! thanks

glad it wasn't just me

Haha - ooooh, you b1atch lol.

Sorry Steve - but am also in the confusing it with EE camp - easy mistake to make - seeing the names are the same and I just immediately thought of the EE actress lol - oops.

Quoted for truth

Thought actress Emma Barton was going to appear in Emmerdale when I saw this title... though actually maybe she could, Emma Barton played by Emma Barton

I like the theory that James murdered her. Suits Chas's "type" of man

If she does turn up I hope she has nice Puppies...
