Not seen them in it for a few weeks now

Completely forgot all about them Cant say ive missed them And the show seems to have benefitted from it IMO

If i was in charge of the show id kill off val and pollard along with Ali Spencer

Funny enough, I said exactly the same last night. Not as if they are a couple in real life that go on holiday together but isn't Eric with Brenda in real life?
I'm not a Val fan but I do hope she and Eric are ok of course.

All that offscreen sexytimes leaves no time for storylines.

The character of Val was so horrible in the HIV storyline that she put the understanding of the condition back to the dark days, bringing back all the false myths and prejudices.
I am not surprised that they are hiding her away for a while.

Eric is the heart and soul of Emmerdale. Love him.

They do seem to have been missing for ages.
I miss Eric but Val just grates on me.
