I suppose it doesn't help that the actress playing Bethany looks older than her supposed age because she is older in real life.”

Some people look younger than they are. Some look older. What is your point? The age gap in real terms is correct.

Ah yes of course Victoria! Forgot about her. Like many of the young women, Victoria seems quite aged. She's barely out of school and already married and a home owner. Blink and Gabby will be married to psycho Lachlan and poisoning his dinner as the lady of the manor at Home Farm!

Young adults never seem to have much fun in soaps. I grew up in a village very much like Emmerdale and my mates and I were forever in the local drinking and heading off to clubs in Leeds, coming home in the early hours blind drunk, singing down the Main Street and waking up all the neighbours! I don't expect them to be drunken fools like that but it's rare we see the youngsters laughing and joking and having a rowdy time!!

I liked Victoria best when she told Adam just after her 21st that she didn't want to marry him, because she just wanted to have fun. Halle-flippin-lujah, a brilliant, modern young woman who wants to be free to have some fun, I thought. How refreshing!

Then a few weeks later, for plot reasons, they lobotomised her, and now she's married to a dimwit and wants to have his babies. What a massive shame! They really should have killed her off in the crash, she basically has absolutely nothing interesting to do now she's shackled to Adam and a kitchen.
