I just picked a sh*t load at work to be delivered out, they seem to be very popular, very current of ED IMO.

I don't know but it's making me want one...
That blue light on the controller is starting to make my PS3 look pretty pathetic... |

What I noticed - having caught up on a week's worth of eps last night - was that they only appear to have the one game! First the Spencers, then Andy's house. Didn't check whether the Product Placement sign was on, though.

They're selling faster than the PS2 did back in the day, not unrealistic for the village residents to be getting them too

I would say Emmerdale had more of an obsession with sex. Vileoween and her 'needs' banging any man that would have her like a rabid dog, The grotesque Chas taking the idiot Barton upstairs for a shag at any opportunity she gets when he is dreaming its Moria. Belle trying to get pregnant so she can get out of the jail sentence that she was soooo insistent she serve and now Bernice and Andy the Simple Farm Boy are gonna get caught out. and the white trash that is Kerry is gonna bang the french bloke. I think that instead of showing at 7 pm when familiies are eating their tea they should move it to the Mucky Channels slot.

As a church going, God-fearing gentleman, these flashy PS40s, or whatever the devil they're called, hold no truck with me.
I don't allow computer games in my house. If my kids want home entertainment, then watching me stagger about drunk every night, trying to perform simple tasks like cooking and turning the telly on should suffice. Things like their reflexes and that get regularly tested anyway - mainly because I support a very poor football team and tend to get quite punchy every time they lose. So thanks to me, my kids have reflexes like cats, and are experts at dodging and weaving. I doubt I'll get any thanks for it mind. |

Maria has a point, though! When sex becomes the main theme of a soap, that's a sure sign of a soap on the rocks. Emmerdale has lost all sense of, and all touch with, reality.

Since when has a soap had a sense of and been in touch with reality? Soaps are fiction. Programmes which have reality are called documentaries.

Of the examples mentioned - Val, as a happily sexually active woman with her husband, is suddenly diagnosed HIV positive. She already feels 'tainted' and then her husband, (understandably at first), rejects her. She is desperate for self-validation and the need to feel that she is still desirable. An excellent and believable sl for me. Chas is (and has been for a long long time) a needy, insecure woman who also thinks that she is only worthy of love if she 'puts out'. I personally can't stand the clingy bint, but I can see that she is being portrayed as a woman with self esteem issues, (of whom there are many irl). So again, a good sl. Belle is just a silly young girl, getting terrible advice from her parents and apparently no advice whatsoever from her solicitor, otherwise she wouldn't be in this mess. Again it's not a storyline about sex per se. Bernice and Andy are free and single and can do what they like. I don't think for a minute WorKerreh is going to 'bang' the Frenchman - she's just trying to make Dull Dan jealous, (god knows why - she could do soooo much better).

I don't think there is enough sex talk on ED actually.

No offence Andy, but that's a really silly response. Many dramas are based on a heightened version of reality, and that includes soaps.

People have sex in reality so by initially saying ED is losing touch with reality and now saying what you've just said in this post, you've contradicted yourself.
but it seems to be dominating Emmerdale as a theme at the moment.

All of the soaps have an obsession with wine.
People are constantly pouring glasses of wine.

What about crime? Most of the Dingles have been in prison at some point or another. Cain deals in stolen cars. Charity recently fraudulently declared a company bankrupt. Belle's trial will start next week. Of the rest of the village, Ross is a car-jacking thief, Donna is a bent copper, Brenda was a shoplifter, Diane got scammed out of her life-savings, Finn "borrowed" Declan's credit card, etc etc etc. I could go on and on. Or what about alcohol? Everybody seems to head to The Woolpack every day for a few drinks. Adam, Andy, Ross, James, Cain, Sam, Zack and Dan are often seen having a few cans when they're at home. Charity, Debbie, Chas, Diane, Jai, Megan, Rodney (and probably plenty I've forgotten!) have wine at home. Declan and Eric have whiskey. Even Edna has the odd sweet sherry. Shock horror! Or what about tea-drinking? Or religion? What other soap has two vicars? It's just a bit of light entertainment. Some people need to take it a little less seriously! |
