ED - John Wayne and Finn
Sorry can't remember what Finn's dad is called, but last night he seemingly showed absolutely no emotion about the fact his son was almost murdered. Ross showed more emotion.. as did Victoria... is it me?

The problem is, James as a character has come in and wrecked lives. Lots of lives. He'd just found out in that scene that his youngest son, who hates him for his betrayal, had probably tried to kill himself, and we got ... pure ham. He should be bowed down with guilt about all the lives he's wrecked, but because the actor gives us nothing (in fact he swans around like everything is just fine and dandy), it's impossible to assume anything other than that he is a sociopathic twot and hate the hell out of him. |

He is one of two "actors" in Emmerdale, I use the loosest sense of the word, that really should be out of work....
James "Darth" Barton and Marlon "Mr Tickle" Dingle , I don't even know the names of the actors but they are excruciatingly bad. Its rare I'll knock an actual actor (as opposed to a character) because I know how hard it is but those two have no business robbing a job from a decent jobbing actor. |

Even Pete didn't show much emotion and James showed none at all. I think we are seeing a different side to bad boy Ross. |

I know what you mean - I don't normally like to get personal about actors - but Bill Ward as James is wrecking what could be a really good story, because his reactions are just all out of kilter with what's actually happening. Is James not horrified by what he's done, blowing Adam's paternity open? Throwing Adam and Finn both off the rails, wrecking Moira's marriage? He just doesn't seem to give a fcuk about any of it.

does James even realise Finn is his son? James has been too busy thinking about Adam and Moira to even have a long conversation with Finn.

Don't know what has happened to the actor. But if I remember rightly he wasn't that bad in Corrie all those years ago.

Nope, it's not just you. The guy is just absolutely terrible. Last night was spectacularly bad. "It's Finn ... he was in car in the barn" [DRAMATIC PAUSE] "with the engine running!" I was hit by flying splinters.

James Lumberjack Barton is truly terrible, more wooden than a tent pole and has this wierd way of talking like his dentures are about to fall out.

god help you all if you have traumatic shocks in your life - not everyone cries when showing emotion - shock is the weirdest thing ever and you dont have to be blubbing like a baby just to show you care/love someone.
i dont mind bill ward i also like his character in emmerdale - he never knew he had another son and when he did click then why should he keep it to himself? Id find it hard to carry a secret like that. |

So Finn's trying to find his mother... I have a feeling she may be dead
Captain Swagger has probably buried her under the pigsty or something |
