Is anyone else really liking her? She had a shaky start imo but the character has really came into her own recently!

Always liked her, and not just for the obvious reason. I like her reconnecting with Bob. I'd also like her to have some scenes with Heath & Cathy.

If they are giving her the shop, I think that shows that the producers are keen on her too.

Yep, I really like her! Agree she seemed a bit abrasive at the start, like she was trying a bit too hard to make an entrance, but I like her as Leyla's friend, she seems fun, and she's given a new lease of life to Bob. Great scenes with April.

I also think she is three trillion times better with Ross than Debbie will ever be. So there's that. Such a shame he's going to end up cheating on her with the sour-faced twiglet. BAH.

do we know if the shop is definitely Carlys now? Or is it going to go back to David when he returns?

She has a thing for ears and hair gel that's for sure, actually that Ross look like a younger Bob!

I imagine it will only be a matter of weeks before she has lost all Bob's money. What does she know about owning/running a shop, doing the Accounts, buying stock etc? She'll probably end up filling it with all her 'fell off the back of a lorry' tat and renaming it '75pLand'.

I feel sorry for Brenda when it all comes out.

Gemma Atkinson is not the best actress in my opinion. However, I do like the Carly character. I find her interesting.

I quite like her. Don't normally like gemma atkinson but she's ok in this. Didnt the guy that played her brother in hollyoaks also play bobs son so theyve been brother and sister twice.

What has acting got to do with it? Victoria is popular on here despite the character being played by an atrocious actress.

Oh no, Spunger. Have those nasty people forced you to watch even more episodes? You poor thing.

She's conning him.
Horrible character.

I dislike the nasty, spiteful, selfish character. Why is Bob pandering to her and deceiving his wife? He has given Carly the education fund, put by for Heath and Cathy from their mother's insurance payout ( Viv was no relation to Carly), and (fraudulently) mortgaged the cafe, which is his and Brenda's livelihood.. A horrible character in a horrible storyline.

I prefer Bob's relationship with Dawn who didn't take advantage as much as Carly does. Also, the ageing up of this character is preposterous and possibly the biggest example of SORAS in a UK soap. Under the original timeline from her first appearance she would only be a teenager now.

Always been a Gemma Atkinson fan since Hollyoaks. Love Carly, she is a refreshing change to the likes of misery Debbie, whiny Chrissie etc. I love she isn't a total bitch, a total doormat or total airhead like many soap women seem to be. She is a good mix of everything with a bit of a laddish streak thrown in.

Has she even had any scenes with heath and Cathy who are her half brother and sister? The producers seem to get April in as many scenes as possible. Heath and Cathy are never seen. Yes April is a cutie but I think its time to let the other emmerdale kids have some screen time. Lets see Carly interact with her siblings

She had a very brief scene with them not long after her return - so far the only time Cathy or Heath have been seen this year!

Loving the character so far, it's just a shame she's attached to the awful Bob and Brenda.

Considering Heath and Cathy are practically the Invisible Twins, I guess maybe the child actors who play them are on very very very limited contracts. Not sure why that would be, but there must be a reason they're never seen. There have been enough jokes about Bob keeping them in a cupboard.

To be honest, I never remember they exist.

Why do so many people here like the thoroughly evil, scheming two-faced characters, Carly, Tracy, Emma, Rachel, Robert, Debbie, previously Nathan Wylde and Sally Spode,
Sometimes I think DS is a parallel universe.

Because they're not "thoroughly evil", they're multifaceted and interesting.

Oh they are. Not one of them has/had a redeeming feature.
Everything they do is for their own ends. Usually to get money, particularly Carly and Robert, or revenge - Emma, Carly again.
