John Middleton is ever so good.

Clever having the two casts as well.

Much preferred Alt-Aaron.
Eeek I just found myself inadvertently in the Robshite appreciation thread, may need counselling from the Horror

Episode was very good

And Alt Aaron was much better than the original, he would get out of the Death list heh

There there, you're safe now.

I think I've lost track of who's on your death list these days.

Analysis central on last nights episode

To call this episode Brilliant would be both an understatement and wrong because in this sense because brilliant in this context is probably the wrong word but I don't know the right one so will leave it at that

If John Middleton and this episode don't win all the awards going it will be a travesty of all travesties.

We hear about Dementia all the time but none of us know what its really like, now after this episode we have a hint of it

My Gran had what Ashley had but in a sense she was lucky because she broke her hip and caught a hospital acquired superbug an died quickly while she still mostly knew who people were.

A few thoughts

1) Took me a while to work out the person he was with was Aaron. Using other actors to see Asleys confusing was very original

2) They should keep "Alt" Aaron he much better than the original

3) Alt Doug on the other hand was much worse.

4) Using the village where they filmed for years was inspired

5) Most people trying to help Aaron was nice

Agree with everything you say about the episode and John Middleton.

Shame about your Gran - but sometimes although it's hard for those left behind to lose somebody suddenly like that, when you get through the first few weeks you know it's actually worked out better in the long run.

1 - Yes, took me a few minutes to work out what was going on

2 -

3 - Yay, a good word from you for Doug

4 - It was

5 - Yes, and you'd hope that in a real-life situation people would be similarly kind (except for the young yobbos at the beginning....) Particularly liked the guy in the record shop - he was very kind.

Ways to get rid of Dementia - absolutely!

If this ep of Emmerdale does nothing other than highlight how devestating this disease can be and open people's eyes a bit to how people afflicted feel then it will have done its job.

I figured out fauxDoug nearly immediately (he was exactly as annoying as realDoug so props to the actor) but fauxAaron confused me - he seemed Aaron-ish but I couldn't figure out why Aaron would be in a random church in Hotten and his reflection looked like Carl King.

I will say though Aaron's handling of Ashley rang true to me once I figured it out. He was the least emotionally invested and tends to be quiet (when not robbing or bashing people) so it was easier for him to handle Ashley.
I' m totally unobservant. I thought faux Doug in the car was REAL DougI couldn't t understand why they showed the close up of the car stickerI didn' t notice Aaron or Chas' reflections eitherIt' s wasted on me sometimes

You are now scarred for life, kwynne. I'm afraid life will never be the same again for you.

Don't worry, I had no idea Doug was played by a different actor either. It wasn't until later on I realised, nor did I catch Aaron's reflection either. I wondered what everyone was going on about in the daily

I did catch Chas' reflection though. So I wasn't completely unobservant

I might have to rethink that career with the CID

What was that nonsense about Finn being a shivering little virgin tonight?

He was totally cool about sleeping with that guy when he was pretending to be Declan. He had the misfortune to shag Aaron. And he dated that nurse.

He was supposed to be an out gay guy who was fine with who he was.

Poor Kasim, wait til he sees what's involved in Emma's chicken dinner.

It's bollocks though. I know he hasn't slept with anyone for ages, but he's experienced.

Yes but the writers panicked when they realised they'd somehow omitted to shoehorn Tracy into every single scene and hurriedly tried to rectify their mistake.

This sounds about right, surely she has been in the most episodes this year?

Oh my god, she is in every bloody scene!

I'm going to start counting. Though it'd be easier to count the episodes/scenes she wasn't in. God knows they're rare enough. She'll be counselling Moira next, helping pull pints in the pub, discovering Emma killed James, being bridesmaid at Larry and Ronnie's wedding, watching through the window as Pierce and Rhona get it on ...

Surprisingly not
There are 24 other characters who have had more appearances than her

Analysis of Emmerdale Characters

1) Ashley - Actor continuing his acting Master classes for the younger cast (and Doug hopefully), sadly Ashley is going downhill fast and laurel is planning on putting him in a home where he will inevitably be neglected.

2) Aarsewipe stank the episode out with his lies and hypocrisy. Laurel dear crybaby is the last person you should ask for advice. Instead of getting Jackson help for his severe depression he murdered him sorry helped him commit suicide, don't ask this disgusting creep anything.

Kwynne demands Alt Aaron take over the role for good because full time one is dreadful.

3) Laurel don't listen to either aarsewipe or Doug - still the actress is doing almost as well as Ashley Actor

4) Doug being horrid, is determined to put Ashley in a home and keep Laurel for himself, getting a bit creepy

5) Didn't Jimmy go away determined to go away and think things, came back just as whiny as he went away.

6) And Nicola was desperate for him not to go away why is she so angry now

Sidebar
Writer dear go back to blathering about soaps on This Morning or something because you are an awful writer

7) Rodney shut up.

8) Grief stricken Moira starting to get on everyone's nerves and lose business

9) Why are all business people from outside the village such horrible people?

10) Pete - does Pete want Moira or Leyla? or both or something because I got bored and mentally switched him off

11) Needy leyla being very needy

12) Shut up tracy

13) Kasim of the bad hair has no personality

14) Finn lying to Kasim about never having a proper boyfriend before

Back in the old routine

Ways how to Kill Aaron

Vol.2 No.15
The ghost of Jackson angry at him taking his name in vain rises and drags Aaron back down to hell from which he came

Vol2. No.16 The Alt Aaron from the alternative universe kills him and takes his place, no one notices, most people even think he's improved

Weekly Bulletin of the Malt Shovel

Half the village was on the look out in Hotten on Tuesday for poor COnfused Ashley who is suffering from Dementia after he went missing from Hotten General after he had suffered another relapse, eventually he was found by Aaron Dingle who brought him home. Many in the village remember Ashley as the best vicar the village has ever had and its terribly sad to see him in his present plight. We wish him well

The Malt has been lit up with the best decorations on a pub in Yorkshire, the front of the Malt is a giant picture of the nativity scene, some prankster though changed the lights ta the back of the pub to turn it into a brightly lit Donkeys bottom, this caused much amusement i9n the malt.

Farmer giles has been raising money for charity by dressing up as santa and riding a wagon made to look like a sleigh pulled by a train of 8 llama's dressed at Reindeer, he has so far raised £400

The Malt wishes everyone a Merry Christmas.

1 - Yep - we'll really miss Ashley when he's gone

2 - Thought that was quite a nice scene actually ....

3 - She is - just soooooo much better than when she was stuck with Marlon

4 - He's trying to help

5-6 - Constant Merry-Go-Round of Jimmy and Nicola's relationship

7 - Yep

8 - She's a good drunk though

9 - It's ED law - anyone from anywhere far away is bound to be a ban'un

10 - He wants Moira really..... - which is all kinds of weird and vaguely incestuous - imagine, Adam's Mum would become his half-brother's wife, would that make her his half-sister-in-law.....

11 - The writing for Leyla is all over the place again - one minute she's a strong woman, next she's Mrs Needy

12 - Yep

13-14 - This Finn/Kasim stuff is failing miserably - must admit I thought he was being brought in as being the eventual source of the truth about James' "accident" and would suddenly remember seeing Emma on the bridge, not as a potential love-interest for Finn

Ways to Kill Aaron - both good, but number 2 is the best!

So Moira is effectively becoming an honorary Dingle with all the inter breeding?

BIB1: Easily done. He even makes incest boring. I hope Leyla destroys him, but that's another relationship down the toilet within 3 seconds of getting together.

BIB2: There is absolutely nothing wrong with Kasim's colossal hair, it is an ecosystem all of its own. No idea why Finn's lying about being a virgin though.

Laughed my socks off at Aaron being dragged to hell by GhostJackson. It's what he would have wanted.

Kasim having seen Emma would be way better.

Think something vaguely interesting might still happen. Sure I saw a spoiler that
Spoiler

But mebbe I imagined it.
They sure aren't bothering to write it as a believable relationship, anyway, so he must be there for some reason, other that just to keep the hairbrush industry in business.

The next David Attenborough documentary series - Life in Kasim's Hair.... Maybe he'll find some species completely unknown to man?

That spoiler sounds intriguing - although that's not the word most commonly associated with most ED output these days (current Ashley storyline excepted).
