I haven't watched Emmerdale in quite a few years but tonight its on and I cant believe what a load of bullshit . WTF happened Cain , has he lost his balls , that guy Sugden threatening him a few years ago Cain would have filled him in.

Also yer guy coming in through the pubs...Is that acting, OMG it was cringing

And the young guy talking to his father who is married to the woman who used to love the guy who came in through the door who used to love her sister who had her son.


What a complete and utter load of crap!!

I assume you're talking about Kirin and his father Rakesh? Rakesh's GIRLFRIEND is Priya, not Leyla. Leyla is David's ex girlfriend, who did indeed have a baby and give it to her sister, Alesha, to whom David is now married.

I like Emmerdale, it's my favourite of all the soaps and is actually pretty consistent.

You chose the wrong week to start watching to be honest, you've missed a damn good storyline with Laurel and her alcoholism.

Just goes to show we've all got different taste, cause I think it is the pick of the bunch.

Cain is less attack first, think later nowadays. Similar to Zak. Getting whacked over the head and nearly killed by his dad saw to that. While I agree that I don't buy him being walked all over by someone like Robert (and judging by the last scene of the episode I don't think that will happen), mellowing the character slightly keeps the character fresh and less predictable. Otherwise, we'd have another Phil Mitchell cliche.

Matthew Wolfenden's acting there has been no different to the last nine years from what I saw?

And the young guy talking to his father who is married to the woman who used to love the guy who came in through the door who used to love her sister who had her son.

Sadly, that's what storyliners seem to think will draw people into these types of shows nowadays. Such over the top plots are not confined to just Emmerdale alone.

Par for the course with the current producer. Loves sensationalism and ratings, doesn't care about what viewers want. It's gone steeply downhill.
It can only improve with a change.

Agree so much with this. Emmerdale peaked under Kate Oates with the Cameron storyline, but I don't think it's been unmissable since then. I think Oates has run outbid ideas and the big stunt coming up this summer proves that.

Introduced by Gavin Blyth and followed through by Stuart Blackburn. It was all written for her.

Got to agree.

I also agree with rockrollingbat regarding Cain..I have never liked the character that much, but he has been less annoying to watch since he has been reined in over the last few years.

I think all of the soaps have gone downhill since 2010. The ratings prove that, even if TV has changed.

I agree. I actually only came into watching Emmerdale recently and have watched the other soaps on a more consistent basis, but I definitely think Emmerdale is the very best. I find it to be the most engaging.

So based on one episode it's "a load of crap"? OK.

Then you have an excuse.
The balance has gone. It's all fighting, scheming and nastiness now. The fun has been wiped out.

I really enjoy ED but I guess it's all matter of opinion. I certainly enjoy the balance and quality of ED compared to CS and HO but find EE offers more dramatic performances which are a bit darker and take more twists and turns than on ED.

I think the OP here must be having a joke as I am thoroughly enjoying Emmerdale. Jai, Cain, Robert, Emma are my favourite characters.

Why should Cain beat up Robert? Violence is not always the answer.

The show has a good balance of comedy and drama unlike the other soap I watch in Coronation Street where I laugh at pretty much everything, and not for the reasons the show want you to.

If you, the OP, decide not to return tomorrow then it is your loss.

Emmerdale is the most consistent soap

I agree totally. And is it just me or is Cain Dingle the most unnattractive 'hunk' in soaps? I just find him so grotty. He looks dirty all the time, he has horrible hair, weird skin, and a fairly weird face.

And I think the females in Emmerdale are the mast unnattractive on tv. Almost all of them rough as a badgers ar$e!

Loada rubbish!

Well I'm gay and I'd say that Emmerdale has some of the most attractive females in soap!

Debbie Dingle? Hot
Alicia Metcalfe? Hot
Chrissy Sugden? Hot
Layla Harding? Hot
Priya Sharma? Hot
Carly Hope? Hot

Even the next generation has some very good looking women, Emma Barton being the fittest of them all!

Personal comments about the actors are not allowed and are uncalled for - especially the one about Jeff Hordley's skin. It's a side effect of his Crohn's Disease. That's just nasty.

Emmerdale is the best of the soaps; its 7 o'clock slot means it treads a fine line and gets the balance just right ; as for attractive cast members, its got loads-male and female

Agree with all the pro Emmerdale posts. Of the main three, its the only one I actually keep up with. Corrie is OK but it doesn't matter if you miss a few and EE is such a drag making half an hour seem much, much longer.

Cain's meant to be rough! Personally I think he's amazing. If you don't want him, more for me.

And a lot of the cast are gorgeous, but more importantly, they can act, make me laugh out loud with a comic line, and hold a storyline, and that's what matters.

Love Emmerdale to bits.

I personally love Emmerdale. I think Cain has just matured rather than 'lost his balls'
