Totally agree.

Hooray for Mrs Winterbottom.

Great to see Liz in Emmerdale.

Your Welcome for the teaser/present.

Put the TV on.. first thing I see is Lisa shouting at them to go.

Feel sorry for Lisa.
I must say this every time the episode is on.. or see Zak/Joanie... The whole storyline is stupid.

Aw Aaron back at Smithy's. Just like old times. Isn't that the first time he's been in there since he came back?

No Lisa. Only a dirty little grease monkey & a beautiful blonde get it on in a barn.

Dross getting the Xmas kiss. Ugh...

Paddy getting a "Merry Xmas goregous man" text from Tess. This time next year, please let that be Robert texting Aaron.

Did anyone get the sense of a little less hate from Aaron?

I dunno, i just felt previously it was clear he detetsed Gordon and couldn't even bear to be with him fora few seconds. Today it's been more like Aaron has seen him as an annoying fly buzzing round him and he's fed up and wants rid. I also felt a bit like Aaron was kinda trying to justify to paddy (..himself?) about not caring. I dunno. It's just felt different and seems an odd way to go what with the secret.

On the other hand the Aaron/Paddy scenes were lovely in themselves.

Yess.
Or... He wouldn't have to text it to him, he will say it to his face.

Zak/Joanie falling for each other is a joke.. upcoming scenes between them is a joke.
It is sooo stupid.
I don't even know how the writers came up with this storyline.. they should have just concentrated on Robron/give them more screen time then showing this Zak storyline.

Is Robert/Andy spending Christmas together or something.

Doug & Diane are now literally the only couple left in the village who've not had some sort of affair element to them. I wouldn't be surprised if ED did something there as well...

That charades scene. Cain will be doing his Brokeback Mountain one & pointing at his nephew & his nephew's boyfriend next year.

Whats going on with Gordon there?!

Eric's near half year grieving process finally at an end.

Aaron packing his bag to stay at Paddy's for the night. But not getting out the village?

Whats the situation with Gordon in the car there? I don't quite get what that was supposed to mean.

what?

Did Gordon cut Chas off before she asked where he was or?

No, he is staying at Paddys.



Same, I didn't get it either.
I think that Gordon might have been sitting in his car outside the pub or something.


Aww, Eric/David. Everyone being there for Eric.
Eric moving on.

I feel sorry for Lisa/Belle.

I think he cut the phone.
It was random.

Well i think it just ended there as we were supposed to wonder why he was in a car still in the village. I;m not sure?

It was a creepy scene but i don't undersand what the context was supposed to be. I was awaiting for another scene but we never got one.

I can't help thinking back to the wonderful Robron-full episode we got last Christmas Day. Today's has been utter rubbish compared to that.

I know he was. I just meant in terms of whatever this supposed secret is coming up, wouldn't he want to be as far away from Gordon as possible if Gordon wasn't going?

Was he hanging around hoping Chas would invite him in? (maybe she did and we will find that out next ep?) That is really going to bug me to be honest as it was so random.

The only good things from that episode we're seeing Aaron (as always ) the brilliant charades scene & I thought the Eric/Ashley graveyard stuff was very good. Apart from that, what a load of tosh that was.

That is still to come.

How creepy was Gordon sitting in his car whilst on the phone to Chas? He did not look happy at all.
