Aye - poor wee soul - her biggest concern is the fact that she can't go to pony club anymore.

You ARE talking about first world neglect here aren't you
Don't know what your watching but her mother has abandoned her she been ripped out of her home not for the first time, she gets no love or attention from anyone, is it any wonder she's off the rails.

Analysis of Emmerdale Characters.

1) Lachlan - poor tortured lachlan, treated cruelly by his grandad, decided to give him a scare, things naturally got out of hand and he shot lawrence and then went along with ultra efficient Chrissie.

2) Chrissie was upset by seeing Holly's picture of Bernice and Andy and then even more upset by seeing her "father" shot by her son, then she came up with a super efficient plan to get lachlan out of trouble and possibly someone else in

3) Holly really is a good photographer isn't she, photo's very clear and crsip even the background.

4) Andy - run Andy before you face the wrath of Chrissie.

5) Bernice - she really is the worst mother in Emmerdale isn't she and that's saying something, her poor daughter is desperate for some love and attention and what does she do dumps Gabby and goes on a retreat no wonder Gabby is so messed up.

6) Poor Gabby must have magic fingers because she somehow stole Sandy's pension from his wallet when it was on the bar right in front of Sandy with a whole load of other people around to see her do it.

No doubt pony club is her last way of holding on to something to care about because no one else in her family cares about her or shows her any attention or love, they just abandon her and pass her about like an unwanted parcel.

Of course Gabby if she wanted to could go to one of the many rather cheaper stables and farms which offer horse riding like my Horse mad niece who earns her keep about the farm by mucking out stables and cleaning horses and she's only 10

7) The less said about the Galloping Gormless Moron and his swollen lower parts the part, did enjoy Miss Moron and Harriet throwing him around though

8) Miss Moron is now ruined for good, why Carly why, I liked you, not anymore now though

9 Harriets self defence class was mildly amusing but why lower yourself and go out with the Moron.

10) April twinkled

11) Rodney Bored.

12) And Diane and doug made up the number.

13) Liv is a good friend to Gabby

14)Nicola made a bit of a fool of herself by thinking everybody was gossiping about her.

15) Vanessa go a letter from prison, guess it will have some future significance

16 And Rishi was intelligible yes even more than usual.

Having seen the spoilers and last night's ep is it any wonder she's behaving badly, her various parents keep dumping her on other family members, then they abandon her as well, in real life Social services would be sniffing around seeking to take her into care she's so neglected.
Absolutely true.
But aren't all soap children being neglected by their families? Most of them spend every night home alone while their parents are at the pub (or on dates or out committing crimes) - even the toddlers! Not to mention the amount of children with one or both parents missing or dead

But of course, if we consider how many of those children were unplanned and unwanted in the first place, it's hardly surprising, is it?

Lets look at her various family members.

Bernice drops Gabby at the drop of a hat, I mean she left her on her wn and gone away for a week or more 3 times in the last 2 months
Lawrence her new father figure now could care less
Her actual father forgets about her most of the time
Her Stepmother treated her like crap when she was drunk and they can barely stand each other now
Rodney her grandfather barely registers her existence and prefers the company of April
Diane occasionally cares but not enough to make a difference

So true. It always annoys me when soap characters with children just leave and go on a "break" or "retreat" for days or even weeks with no planning. It's unrealistic for anybody (anyone with a job at least), but for people with children it's just absurd. Didn't Bernice just send Gabby a text telling her to stay with her father "for a few days"? Did she even inform Ashley and Laurel beforehand?

And how about poor Leo? After all that talk earlier in the year about how much he needs stability and how Tess couldn't quit as his teacher because of it, his step father (who has lived with him all his life) just leaves from one day to the next, his mother starts a new relationship with a total stranger within weeks and his real father...well, what is there left to say.

And who is looking after Kyle these days?

mabe all of the above, dislike her as much as most of us dislike her....And there is no excuse for stealing the pension from an old man.
She has a very sly face, well she is a sly creature

Yeah as if Aaron could kill Andy or Ross, Andy is basically the size of the hulk and Ross just cant die. Hes been shot, kidnapped, jumped off a cliff, buried alive by his brother. Perhaps he could bore them to death but apart from that I dont see what damage Aaron could do unless he asks Cain to do his dirty work.
He could drown them in his perpetual tears?

When has Aaron ever beat Ross? Every fight they have had has been pretty equal. Ross cant die, simple as that.
LOL so is Ross the Stefano Dimera of Emmerdale, will they start referring to him as the Phoenix?

Too right!

The terrific former carjacker wouldn't go for a grumpy bottom like Aaron
Aaron is not grumpy he's brooding and he does it very well. Ross would be lucky to have him. And Aaron is not a bottom, Robert is a very aggressive power bottom and Aaron is a top.

Can't they both fight to the edge of a cliff and both fall off?
No!

.
1. Yeah I really felt bad for Lachlan, the writers have done a good job of humanizing him in a believable way....too bad they didn't do that with Jai and Robert

2. Chrissie can't be mad at Andy for sleeping with Bernice, like Ross and Rachel on Friends THEY WERE ON A BREAK.......same goes for the Leanne/Steve hookup on Corrie

3. Maybe she could take pics for Harriet's forgotten PI business

5. I really had to think about this one, you had The HBIC trying to sell her son, Laurel drinking while pregnant, Psycho Mama Barton faking illnesses to keep her son around...then there is the MIA queen of worst soap mothers Debbie Dingle so while Bernice is bad she is hardly the worst.

6. I think Ashley and Laurel really care about her.

8. Well if Donna and Laurel can survive Marlon maybe Carly can too.

13. How long till Liv starts liking Gabby? Its gonna be Aaron/Adam all over again.

15. I bet her and Tracy have the same dad

Aaron is amazing, strong, sexy, a bit of a bad boy with a heart of gold. Ross would be lucky to have him. Aaron would be Ross' best pairing since Donna

5) Laurel drinking was also a problem for Gabby, until then they were close despite Bernice coming back, now they barely talk and Loopy Lush was horrible to her when she was drunk.

6) You could have fooled me, even last night Ashley showed an extreme lack of interest in her.

8) Donna had to leave emmerdale for years and Laurel became a drunk, not a good advertisement for Carly being with Moron

Ross isnt gay though, also I dont think Michael and Danny have actually shared a scene together since that story came out about Danny/Isabel.

Laurel was mean to Gabby when she was drunk but that was just one time so I think it can be forgiven. As for Ashley, he usually is good dad so he gets a pass for last night.

You make good points about Carly, she could have a rough year ahead of her with Marlon. #prayForCarlyHope

I'm just saying IF Ross were gay, TBH I was hoping for a Rosron pairing when Aaron returned. And I think you're right about them not sharing scenes together, you would think Aaron would have confronted Ross about the shooting, but instead he punched Andy. I hope Danny and Micheal can move past it though, if either of them left it'd be huge loss to the show.

So, Rakesh is selling the remains of Mill Cottage, are we getting a new family?

Lawrence is selling Home Farm, will the new family buy Home Farm and Mill Cottage?

Will Chrissie buy the burnt out husk of a building for her and Lachlan, or will the White's be gone for good in the coming months?

Aaron is a good looking character when he isn't blubbing like a big girls blouse- but it's Ross that's the hot bad boy. Being straight makes him all the hotter!

Just because he wears the pants in the relationship doesn't mean Robert isn't a bottom. Maybe I'm just thinking Robert is cuz I knew a bottom like Robert....well he was like Robert without the murderous streak.

More drama and smash sessions with Ross while ignoring her kids. The only upside is hopefully Sarah will still be giving Resting Bitch Face hell when she returns

True, I could see them SORASing her a couple years so she is the same age as Liv, Gabby and Jacob...which would mean baby Katie Sugden Jr will be on her way soon.

I do hope they have not changed her head - the old Sarah was growing into a decent actress.
