Hey hey hey! He got her up the duff. He's 50% responsible for the Mini Beatle. He can pay and keep paying, as far as I'm concerned.

Specially as he's not likely to find anyone else who actually wants to mate with him enough to make more bebbies.

I hope Dan stays though. I like him and Kerry together. Wouldn't miss Rube and Ali.

She hid Belle's pills???I miassed that. What a nasty trick. I didn't like her attitude last week when she found out Zak, Lisa and Noah had visited Charity. Zak and Lisa are the closest Charity has to parents and Noah is her son. They thought, rightly or wrongly, that she has been punished enough. Rachel doesn't have to like them visiting but she can't demand that they cut Charity off. She's made her opinion clear, Sam and her will have to deal with whatever they decide to do. She's got every right to be concerned about her son and Samson, but she's hardly given poor Belle a chance. Samson's bright, he'll realise that he doesnt have to be afraid of Belle.

Don't get me wrong he's obviously got to pay for his childs welfare, I don't dispute that one bit. But he has given her a house rent free, which she then moved her sisters family into (which Jai allowed them to stay in even after Rachel left with Archie) and even strong armed him into employing her unqualified sister into a place of management.

They're both equally horrible characters and I could do without either of them on my screen.

Rachel didn't hide Belle's pills, Glendarroch. She took some out and threw them away, then put the rest of the strip on the chair where Archie was sitting,to make it look as if Belle had been negligent in leaving them about. She then took (pretended to take) Archie to the hospital 'in case he had swallowed them'.

Which is way worse than hiding the pills, what a despicable human being she is.

I don't like the way they've changed Rachel, but I am glad that she's come back to put the whole Sam/Charity and Archie/Jai stuff to bed.

but of course Belle is a saint, nothing despicable about killing your best friend.

I missed an episode, so I didn't see that. What a horrible thing to do, especially as Belle's really vulnerable just now. Rachel owes her a massive apology for being so petty.

I think Rachel sees it as everyone being on Team Charity but I think they are just actually trying to get on with things in the best possible way. No one has treated her like dirt from what I've seen.

Noah wants to see his Mum which is fair enough and they facilitated that. Lisa was sensitive enough to agree to lie to Rachel about it but she pushed and pushed and got the truth and then decided to take revenge about it.


Belle being despicable has no bearing on Rachel being despicable though. Rachel, pretending that Belle left her pills out and risked Alfie's life was certainly despicable.

I wish she would wash that orange crap from her face

That was a freak accident though. It's not like she set out to murder her!

Belle did a terrible thing but she had no intention of causing serious harm. Rachel has stolen a very strong prescription and deliberately used it to inflict distress on someone who is very ill and vulnerable. She could have caused a lot of mental harm to Belle doing that. Belle having committed a terrible crime in the heat of the moment is no excuse for Rachel to target her when she's ill, especially when she herself is not really the one Rachel is angry with. Personally, I can understand her being concerned about her son's safety - but if she's that worried she should move out, or keep. Archie in her and Sam's room. No need to resort to petty tricks.

Rachel puts people in boxes and has such extreme over reactions. Ashley's evil because he hit Sandy. Jai's out to crush her because he's rich. Now no young child is safe from Belle and Rachel has to prove it.

[quote=Glendarroch;77718309]
I think she puts Archie in a box somewhere. You hardly ever see him (her) with Rachel.

I can't stand Jai either but he should be paying for his own kid. Rachel did take advantage, but he treated her like his dirty little secret and thought that she was as materialistic as him and could be bought off. I liked it when she realised that he wasn't the evil Lord of All He Surveyed and she milked the situation -at least she was standing up to him. As usual though, she could have just told him where to go and got the CSA involved right from the beginning, but it was far easier to let him push her about and for her to play the victim.

[quote=pollysue1939;77708926]
Well I never said that Belle is a saint but at least what she did was an accident and not a pre-meditated attack on someone.



Don't get me wrong he's obviously got to pay for his childs welfare, I don't dispute that one bit. But he has given her a house rent free, which she then moved her sisters family into (which Jai allowed them to stay in even after Rachel left with Archie) and even strong armed him into employing her unqualified sister into a place of management.

They're both equally horrible characters who have treated each other quite disgustingly and I could do without either of them on my screen. The child is used as a pawn by both of them and I only feel sorry for him in all this (well i would if it was original Archie and not this fakeArchiethat'stherealArchie nonsense)

[quote=samcains90;77719188]
Aye, very true. They both deserve each other. Poor wee Archie. Shame that an 'unfortunate accident'couldnt happen. Then Archie could be raised by Priya and Rakesh or Ruby and Ali. Rachel is doing my head in.

He must be ' upstairs, listening to his tapes.'

I find it amazing the the Dingles are held up to be saints. How that Lisa can always take the moral high ground is astonishing. She is so nasty and unforgiving she makes me cross. And I wish someone would take her to the hairdressers.

This thread is about Rachel, not Lisa.
Try the Emmerdale Discussion thread.

Rachel was put on the spot when the Dingles asked her about the hospital tests. It won't be long before she goes in my opinion. Setting up Belle for "leaving the pills lying around" was disgusting. I can't wait for Jai to ask about the incident and imaginary hospital tests. How will Rachel get out of that? Also as Archie didn't have the missing pill Rachel will have to explain where it's gone.

Who holds them up as saints I thought they were looked at with disdain if anything. Rachel clearly thinks she's a cut above now.

Gemma caused her own death. Gemma started the argument, escalated into a physical fight by slapping Belle and then refused any assistance.

I agree about Lisa. She can be a right nasty piece of work. It still doesn't justify messing with someone's medication or trying to entrap someone very vulnerable on the basis that they might and only might harm or scare your child.
