I'm hoping this Maurel reunion is short lived and she goes back to drinking and back to coming between Ashley and Harriet, Laurel is so much better when she's drunk and with Ashley and Harriet.

You are certainly not alone in wanting that

^^^^

Not soap ones. There's too many and they're nearly all brats.
I don't mind Amelia (she's bright) or Samson (he's fairly inoffensive) but the rest can stay in the cupboard for another 20 years. There's the odd real life one I can thole too. (in small doses)

I don't get all the hate soap kids get, the only one I currently don't like is Simon on Corrie but that could be solved if Leanne just beat his ass one good time, why she is letting that little punk throw stuff at her I will never know.

You cannot call Arthur a brat. He is a sweetie, especially when he must feel pushed out by Moron's offspring.

On another note, Jai is seriously getting on my last nerve. What an absolute sh*t of a human being. I swear if he say's "MY SON" once more I shall throw the TV through the window whether it is open or not. He is like some deranged stalker, locking Rachel out of her home, trying to stir up trouble between her and Sam. What is this idiots problem? I just want to kill him so slowly and so painfully, I am becoming unhinged!

And why, suddenly is Megan going all out to be nasty to Rachel and thinking up ways of making her life a misery? As far as I recall Rachel hasn't done anything wrong to her or to Leyla, yet both of them hang on to numpty's every word and egg him on in his fantasy island schemes to get his hands on Archie.

Someone should tell him that the mother almost always get full custody of any children no matter how rich the father is or how poor a parent the mother is. He cannot fault Rachel's mothering skills. I'm not a fan of Rachel this time round, but Jai is the bl**dy limit. I'm on Rachel's side in this nasty business.

If anyone needs a hand in despatching Jai, by any means possible, so long as it is painful and protracted, count me in!

To be honest I hope real Archie and fake Archie are placed with an adoptive family.

Neither Rachel or Jai deserve him - Jai is just a despicable human who doesn't care what he does or who he uses to get his own way, and there is nothing to like about Rachel this time round.

Maybe the best I can hope is that they are both killed in the summer disaster?

Rishi and Priya will do a far better job of running the factory.

Has Aaron always(as an adult) spoken in such a low voice as he did when he spoke to Rob in the pub? It's seems to get lower by the episode, or is my telly packing up?

I think you're right his voice is very horse and low, I think its because Danny Miller smokes a lot

I think Priya and Rakesh would do the best job in raising Archie, as well as the factory. Is Rachel acting so badly on purpose? I didn't understand them bringing her back, and nothing she has done since has explained this.

I'll be glad when Rachel leaves. She must be the worst actress on
the show, with Pete not far behind her. God , what a drip he is and
Can't act for toffee.. Come on Debbie get yourself a real man like Ross.
Getting back to Rachel. What has happened to her? She is like Jekyll & Hyde
I think she has a brain tumour and all this being too people is because she is
lll. plus she looks like she has been tango'd.

From what I saw last night Belle could run the factory better than Jai does.

You can't hear him because most of the time he has his hand over his mouth while stroking his chin to convey "emotion", which seems to be his only attempt at acting when he isn't crying.

I think Megan might sign up to help you dessie after the look on her face when she saw Jai and Leyla together last night.

Analysis Centrals review of the Current storylines.

1) Any with Aaron in - Aaron and his bad acting actor has been stinking out the show for weeks now, don't know what happened but somehow the worst actor on TV in a field that also include Rachel and Ali has managed to get far worse than even I though possible.

He has taken his face rubbing attempts at showing emotion to previously unknowms depths of sheer uselessness, at least he used to be able to cry convincingly, indeed it was his selling point his USP if you will, now the actor thinks if he rubs his beard a bit thats all he need to show every kind of emotion, well it doesn't and Aaron stinks and sghould die immediately, as of next week Kwynne will reinstitute the Daily way to kill off aaron

2) Its all the lyinmg and covering things up that caused Belle to be ill in the first place tell the truth.

3) why has Joanie taken Lisa place in the storyline, is it because Lisa has lost all credibility as a character in things like this

4) So boyfriend beater is going to blackmail creepy Jai over their son is she such a good mother - not.

5) Gallup all the way to the stable Megan.

Watching the scenes in Piggy Cottage last night, I though Zac and Joanie make a better couple than Zac and the ault besom that Lisa has turned into. Seems even Belle smiled and has lightened up without Lisa.

Ho ho Jai, hoist by his own petard. Hope dozy Rachel and soft Sam use the footage to scupper toffee boy's dastardly plan to grab Archie and not do anything stupid, (as if they would!). Megan's face was a picture. So, she gets her comuppance for being nasty, just Layla the tart and Jai the toffee k*ob to get theirs.

I shall be away next week and will miss the next eps of this saga, and

I always thought that the only character I could detest so thoroughly was Marlon, but Jai has completely overtaken him in my "want to kill painfully" list!

Megan's face Ha ha, sussed as my kids used to say!

I think he's talking like that because he thinks it makes him menacing and dramatic.

Is Denise Black staying on then?

I like her.

Can't we get the random couple generator out of the shed and fix her up with Laurence?

She's got a longer contract than last time, She was around for like 4 months last time so I guess she'll be here for half a year if not a year.

I think Joanie is going end up sleeping with Zach, which will be affair number 1,329,383 this summer in Emmerdale

It's probably a bit of both I didn't know that he smoked. Because of your post, Mark, I keep thinking of Marge Simpson's sisters(Patty and Selma) now when I here him speak! Maybe he should think about investing in some nicotine patches

He's started growling like a bear with a sore throat! It's really noticeable. And pretty strange. I guess it's meant to make him sound well 'ard. I just want to offer him a Fisherman's Friend.

cyrilandshirley, Surly Serf Aaron prefers to suck on Squire Robert, rather than a Fisherman's Friend.

More wives, vicar?
