Kate Oates needs to go. ED
She is just trying so hard to gain awards all the time. So much so that she is changing Emmerdale to suit her own stupid vision. First of all I thought she was a great producer and don't get me wrong she is much better than Blackburn but all her stories involve stupid pantomime stories which are supposed to be funny and silly childish gangs and guns which are not in anyway interesting. There's no need for all these "gritty autumn" stories. Why can't we just have good gritty stories throughout the year instead of one particular month. With the recent news that a "Villain" is joining the dales I have a vision there are going to be more boring murders and stunts on the way. Its just getting really dire and dry now Kate, give it up while you can. They are trying to recreate the Cameron storyline so much.

as do all producers. Quote:

There have been many serious storylines such as Val's HIV & Priya's pregnancy and eating disorder followed by Priya's arranged marriage which I think is another excellent storyline idea. Plus we have Donna's illness & Andy accident coming up. We currently only have one 'gangsta' in the form of Ross and even that's not done to the death, IMO. Quote:

Autumn is a season and not a month. Furthermore much as EastEnders have their whopper storylines on Christmas Emmerdale chooses to go with their birthday month which happens to be October, I think this great as there are only so many big Christmas days a soap can have without become borning and predictable. Same old every year.Quote:

The jury is still out on the new villain, we will need to wait to hear/see more. In conclusion, I disagree.

Perhaps she feels that the soap needs a bad boy now that Cain is mellowing as he gets older? I honestly thought that Ross was shoe horned in to fill fill that role but it looks like this newcomer is going to be worse than him!
If Kate Oates IS chasing awards then she's onto a loser as ED always seems to lag behind when it comes to them and if the Woolie siege/murdering Cameron couldn't pull off best soap for them last last year I don't know what could No offence to Hollyoaks but it has millions less viewers than ED and managed to win the best soap award this year even though ED (again IMO) had a vintage year. For some reason the public as a whole just don't vote for it in enough numbers to matter

To be fair though.. she is lovely to look at.
Thing is she's doing her job... more awards = bigger audiences = more ad revenue. I actually think she's trying to get the show back to where it was. More than any other soap Emmerdale always had light and dark stories. The lighthearted stuff running parallel to and offering balance to the darker storylines. The problem she's having is the "light" stories are falling into caricatures rather than just portraying "normal" stuff like they used to. I also think there's an over reliance on the Dingle buffoonery. |

I do so wish DS would impose a moratorium on "X must go" threads. They add nothing to the sum of human understanding and are usually written by jealous, bitter buggers sitting at home in front of the TV asserting that "I could do better than that".
But, of course, they can't and never could. |

She's not doing great but she's not doing bad for me the worst is this whole Adam and James storyline. For me these are just background actors not one's who should be the lead storyline.

The new character is a high probability of the new owner of the Home Farm.
My scenario is that the Maceys losing everything when the truth about the fire is revealed and Declan is going to prison. Charity survives without a court order, but is despised by everyone in the village because they all know about her actions. She is left penniless and homeless woman who nearly losing custody of her son. |

I agree that she has some really good ideas and the stories start very interesting but then they manage to turn into a farce and then I switch off ..... it's such shame.. good actors but I feel they are being let down as well...

I agree with almost every single post on here apart from the OP's.
![]() ED is doing fine and I enjoy it a lot. There's been a lot of excellent stuff since Ms Oates took the helm and there appears to be a lot more good stuff coming up.

At first, I though 'YAWN - not another "new villain". But then I thought, maybe this new villain will turn out to be
Spoiler
That *would* be interesting, and a logical addition to the cast. |

What's wrong with casting a new villain?

I agree with every word of the OP except for the bit about KO being better than Blackburn. The only thing going for KO is the way she finished of Blackburns Cameron story. Blackburn showed with the live show just what he was capable of, so i see no reason why he couldn't have finished off the Cameron story as well as KO. She finished off what was already set in place many many months before she took over. When left to her 100% her own material she has turned out to be a complete and utter disaster. From the appalling handled Amy departure right up to this laughable Adam and James story. In between she's ramped up the camp and the ham comedy and made the cast look like a third rate bunch of panto actors. Just look at the viewing figures. They say it all about what she has done to the show. |

I've stopped watching it, but I suppose he doesn't know it like he did Emmerdale, where he wasn't given the chance,as producer, to show it. |

Plus, Kate Oates doesn't seem to be ramming certain characters into every episode. The Maceys, Sharmas, Dingles, Bartons, Pollards have all had stories this year but at least she hasn't on one particular family/character in every episode. For Blackburn, he focused too much on Debbie especially with Sarah's illness, Cameron's affair, the murders, her revenge on Chas, and dealing with dodgy booze. Long live Kate Oates. |
