It's a shame really coz he is lovely to look at. Just completely lacking in every other aspect of charm and personality

Well I don't know what is wrong with Michael Parr, but he seems to be going through the motions and there is no acting.

Probably cuz this story line sucks and is nothing more than a Hollyoaks rip off

Can someone be both vile and boring? They are complete opposites.

Hmm I wouldn't say that's true. The opposite of boring is exciting and the opposite of vile is pleasant.

I think what was meant was that Pete has certain vile traits such as an aggressive manner which juxtaposes his ultimately boring and spineless personality.

I agree! Cameron was brilliantly unhinged towards the end. Some of his performances were even chilling, like when he killed Gennie, the look he gave when he was arrested after holding Debbie hostage, appearing behind Debbie when the flickered back on in the cellar. Even showing his dark side, there were different sides - the desperate 'what have I got left?' side that made him not care anymore in the end, may as well go out and take everyone down with him. The danger vibe that came off him, like when everyone froze when he came out from the behind the bar on the pub siege episode. He was a character that had gone irredeemably dark and kept the viewers gripped. You're right about Pete/Anthony. Last nights drunk acting was just awful, his wide eyes, looking like he was on a drug trip rather than drunk. I'm assuming we as viewers should be either taking Ross or Petes side in general and for who Debbie should be with, I don't like either of them very much as characters and I don't want to see either of them with Debbie. Annoying storyline.

Are you refering to last night episode? I thought he was really good and Anthony Quinlan!

I wish Ross had put one in Pete's head as I find Pete that irritating. Pete's just a whinging, boring character. I didn't mind the acting drunk which so many actors get wrong. I'll give him that. I thought Michael Parr (Ross) did some good expressions in the last episode. His face said it all. I am beginning to see something different in his acting though. Ross is becoming dependent on Debbie for happiness and has lost most of his spark. He has the occasional funny one liner but he doesn't seem as exciting as when he first came along to Emmerdale. There is definitely something missing.

Guess it's paradoxical but yeah, I think it's entirely possible. Nasty people/characters aren't always interesting.

Agreed. Norris on Coronation Street springs to mind. He's a critical old gossip and so boring as well.

That's true. It's a shame, he used to be a much better character and actually amusing, but as time's gone on they've written him more and more gossipy and backstabby and with none of the vulnerability, warmth or humour.

I agree, Pete was angry and upset, his ghastly brother, who has as much sensitivity as our cat, or even less, came to the hospital to see Debbie, and Pete lost it! It could just as easily been Pete lying dead, Ross didn't exactly stand and take it. The difference between the brothers is that Pete, although he is no angel, is not wicked, Ross is evil.

Ross is a great character, but he is unhinged. Pete wouldn't have planned to kill Ross and make it look like suicide.

While it is pretty crazy, we have no idea what Pete is capable of so we can't actually say that imo

He was able to bury what he thought was Ross's body in the woods after all and only confessed as he thought he was caught anyway.

True. Obviously Ross has done a lot more bad stuff as it stands but there's clear dark potential with Pete.
