Do you like Emma in Emmerdale? I most certainly do not, as while Gillian Kearney is a good actress, I can't take to her at all, and find her a creepy and deranged psycho who should be locked up. I reckon she'll kill or badly hurt someone in the next year.

Mmm I'm not sure. I don't think the actress is very convincing as a bitch, which doesn't help. When she says nasty things it sounds a bit fake. She's just too softly spoken. It just doesn't work for me.

I love watching her and can't wait for what she does next! She's such a troublemaker and her and Ross have more in common than they would likely admit to. He's a sneak and so is Emma. It's often the quiet ones you should watch out for and in Emma's case this is true! I hope she sticks around.

I don't think anyone could 'like' the unhinged fruit loop, but I think she's entertaining as a character and I do love watching to see what her next evil plan will be.

Plus anyone that causes trouble for Darth Barton and Foghorn Leghorn can't be all bad.

I like her. But I'm probably not meant to.

Great actress and Emma is the nutcase we're all waiting to see go bat shit crazy.

My only wish is that they don't make her too panto and over the top, or to do anything completely unforgivable, I'd love for her to stick around

Who's Foghorn Leghorn? Is it Chas?

I love her!

ha seems like another Sally Spode to me

Sorry, yes.

Hate her!

I think shes fantastic and fascinating and the actress has wonderful expression. Shes so watchable it doesn't matter that james is dull.

Shes conniving and shameless but delicate and troubled that I feel sorry for her everytime shes abused by loudmouths like Chas and Debby. The character has an elegance and complexity which I think is unique at the moment

I hope they have plans for her because she has a lot of potential.

She is a psychiatrists dream

Can't stand her! I wish she'd go away and take James and their brood with her!

Not really but I don't think you suppose to
For a so-called villain, she's a bit tame. A slightly poor attempt at another bitch while Charity is in prison.

I love her..I just wish she would be more devious ..it's certainly more entertaining when she's around...

I didn't like the character when she first appeared. Although I clicked 'Llke' now, I really mean that her character is becoming more watchable, more psycho; poor James is in for some misery.

I liked her to start with, now I just find her really annoying.

I somehow think ...not only James...

I clicked that I didn't like her, but I do find her entertaining. I hope that she actually kills James soon, and hopefully when she does Foghorn and saint Aaron will be in the car with them as it careers over the top on the moors and bursts into flames!

She's a bit too pantomime.

There's no real nuance or subtlety to her characterisation.


Plot device character and nothing else.

Same. She's OK for some evil plotting fun, mwahahahaha etc, but there's so much more they could have done, exploring her relationships with her sons. It seems a waste, tbh.

Agree with all of this. The cheek of Chas and Debbie is unbelievable, they have both had affairs themselves, yet whenever somebody does the same to them, it is somehow seen to be unacceptable and they can go around making threats and attacking people. It's the nerve of Aaron more; currently having a fling with a married man but when somebody else has a one night stand, it's acceptable for him to violently assault them and then expect to get away with it? Emma is a brilliant character, the actress is particularly good.

Yes. Emma is a bitch, but entertaining too. Gillian is a good actress, which also helps.

No. Gillian is a good actress and is wasted/wrong for the panto character they have created.
