I stopped watching Emmerdale as a kid when I was upset because Butch Dingle died.

However people are raving about it right now and as hollyoaks is kinda pants at the mo, so I thought I'd start watching again. Problem is I haven't a clue what's going on.

I recognise five people - marlon, paddy (less hair mind) Eric pollard, Jess from casualty and Gilly from Hollyoaks lol

I've seen from the chopper crash to present. I don't expect to know everything that's happened in the last 20 years or so but if someone could fill me in on recent goings on that would help with context

Thanks x

Oh wait - I remember Cain. And there's a cute youngish beardy farmer I recognise too.

I'll introduce you to the Bartons who own the farm. You've got Moira who is married to Cain. She was previously married to John Barton but he died and she has 2 daughters (both have left the show) and one son in Adam (married to Victoria). John's brother James (Charlie Stubbs from Corrie) is Adam's father after she slept with him behind John's back years ago.

James was married to Emma and they have 3 sons of their own - Pete (Gilly), Ross and Finn. Ross was having an affair with Debbie (Pete's now wife) so that's why he "killed" him. There's a lot more to the Barton story with Emma but I won't go into that now .

Sorry if that's confusing .

Man, you have missed a LOT.

Couple of things from tonight:

Chrissie, the woman who caused the accident by torching the car, is the daughter of Lawrence White, and is married to Robert Sugden (who has been having an affair with Aaron Livesey, yes, he's bisexual), and has a son from an earlier marriage, Lachlan, who is a bit disturbed (to say the least). This group all arrived at Home Farm last year I think, so they're quite new. Oh, and Robert was also largely responsible for Katie Sugden, his brother Andy's wife, dying in an accident, but nobody knows that yet except Aaron.

Rachel Breckle, the young woman with the brown hair who was asking to see her baby Archie, had her baby after a fling with Jai Sharma, who runs the sweet factory. Recently Jai has become obsessed with getting custody of Archie and is undermining Rachel's case by planting drugs in her house. However, he's also been having an affair, and his wife Megan (the other woman with the brown hair) knows about it, so she is plotting with Rachel to have revenge on him.

And that'll do for now.

Ruby's partner Ali is Rachel's sister. She has 2 kids with Dan (they were together before she turned lesbian) - Amelia (the girl who Dan and Kerry told that Ruby had died in tonight's ep) and Sean, who is in hospital in Liverpool with bad burns after an accident. Ali is in Liverpool with him. She will be returning but I think she may be leaving the show soon.

Also I don't know if you remember Charity who is currently in prison, but all you need to know for now is that she is fabulous .

Charity is indeed fabulous and was recently jailed for her part in setting fire to home farm which was previously owned by her ex husband Declan Macey who she married after discovering her husband Jai had, had an affair and a baby with Rachel Breckle (see above).

Declan was having some financial issues after one of killer Cameron's victims was found buried on his land, which halted plans for a glamping site being built there. This sent him heading for Bankruptcy and with his marriage to Katie Sugden and his business in ruins he set fire to home farm in a fit of anger and desperation. He was rescued from the fire by Charity who convinced him to frame her cousin Sam and his GF Rachel Breckle for the fire as the 2 had earlier broken into the house to steal back money owed to them by Declan. Their plan was successful and Rachel was heading to prison when Charity offered her money and threatened her to leave the village. Declan and Charity lived relatively happily in the refurbished home farm until Declan discovered Charity had aborted his child and covered it up by saying she had had a miscarriage caused by his sister Megan pushing her in an argument. Declan sought revenge and keeping quiet about his discovery took Charity to a remote cottage where. He chased her into the woods and tried to bludgeon her to death. He failed and Charity made her way onto a boat chased into the water by Declan, and Declan's nephew Robbie who had worked out Declan's plan and come to stop him. Unfortunately a fight breaks out on the boat and Declan shoots Robbie with a flair gun and he dies (he was Megan's long lost son that she had as a teenager and had put up for adoption, the 2 were just rebuilding their relationship when he died). Declan then went on the run and remains at large to this day. He sent a DVD to the police confessing the arson of his former home and implicated his wife, who was subsequently jailed. Whilst there it was revealed she had had a one night stand with Ross (off screen) months before and she gave birth in prison to Moses, who is now in the care of her daughter Debbie (whom is fathered by her own cousin Cain). Cain is also taking care of Charity's other son Noah (whom is fathered by the legendary Chris Tate).

Yes that's true. The Tates were Emmerdale royalty, and whilst the fabulous Charity is of course fabulous, she isn't fit to even lick the boots of the AMAZING Queen of the soap bitches, Kim Tate!

Lolly - Weird to think you stopped watching Emmerdale in the same year I was born.

I've been watching the show regularly and all this information on the thread has confused me! Good luck!
