Agree with pretty all of these actually - glad Brenda is nowhere near worst female
Emmerdale is woeful this past week but calling for Iain MacCleod's sacking is ridiculous IMO, on the whole he's given ED a good year. I far prefer him to Kate Oates. She was terrible at ED but is doing better at Corrie.

1. couldn't agree more.
5. Don't you dare insult Danny Miller like that!
He is one of the greatest soap actors of all time!!!!6. Kerry isn't the problem, its ex-Hollyoaks, Kerry was fine under Kate Oates.
7. Exactly, and Kerry came on to that guy and was all up for going to his van, even talking about how she hoped the suspension was good, so she got what she deserved from him IMHO.
8. Yes and Chas still has no sign of a baby bump.

I disagree, MacLeod gives a few good episodes then we get stuck with weeks of crap, he focuses on characters no one likes, like Kerry and Tracy and has Nicola and Jimmy doing the same exact story ever week. Kate Oates had her faults but the show was much better under her and I find Corrie to be miles ahead of Emmerdale these days.

The characters you mentioned don't really bother me as its likely that in the future they wont get as much screen time. Its a particular couple that I cant stand that is putting me off watching the show long term.
The characters I really can't stand are Robert, Aaron, Zak, Chrissie and Jai.
I'm 100% in favour of Robert going psycho again and killing all of them, then he kill himself. Give him and Aaron the Romeo and Juliet ending, after all its a tragic love story isn't it? zzzzzzzzz

Its not just about the characters its more so what he's doing with them. I had no issues with Kerry when Kate Oates was in charge, MacLeod has turned her into a self absorbed drunken thot that sleeps with anything with an eggplant. He has also ruined Charity's return, the once reigning HBIC became Cain's desperate doormat and when she isn't letting Cain walk all over her she is throwing shade while serving drinks at the pub, Charity deserves better than that. Then there is Jimmy and Nicola, who no doubt were suffering under Oates but what we have now is the same BS every week, Jimmy does something stupid, Nicola gets mad, they break up for 2 episodes then reunite, its tired old and boring. Also the comedy stuff is just crap, all the costume parties, the stupid singles night, Rishi dressing up as a blue berry, its all not funny. The only thing going right on the show ATM is Ashley's story.

Couldn't agree more. I've noticed that under Ian Macleod, storylines will reach a key point and then be forgotten about for a few weeks so that the likes of Kerry and other secondary characters get their share of the screentime. The Emma story is a good example of this, the interesting story about Emma plotting against Moira has suddenly been dropped, there was no aftermath to the time where she meddled with Moira's freezer. That could've developed into an interesting and complex slow burner story, but instead it's just ended with no satisfying conclusion.
It's obvious Ian is trying to give the lesser characters more of a central role in the show, and it could work if he did better and in a more subtle fashion, rather than forcing them down the viewers throats all of a sudden. Was there even any point to Kerry's abortion she had a few months ago? It was over and forgotten about so quickly, and had no long term effect on any character. TPTB could've ran the exact same storyline (Kerry sleeping with Ross, Dan finding out and breaking up wit her etc) but without adding the pregnancy in, because it had absolutely no effect on the long term storyline. It was just shoehorned in for "Omg Kerry is pregnant, who is the daddy?!" headline grabbing.
As for Robron, I used to like them but I went off them in the new year because of the crappy, unimaginative and contrived writing that they were given. It completely trashed them for me.

You're right he is trying to give B list characters more screen time and he's failing miserably at it, meanwhile Kate Oates is doing the same on Corrie by giving Mary a story line but it has worked much better because Oates hasn't forced Mary down our throats or turned her into an unlikable character like MacLeod has done with Kerry.

I really hate that phrase. This is a British soap, not an American sports team or film.
Talking of Emmerdale Past, today is the birthday of Kirsty-Leigh Porter, formerly Roz in Emmerdale. As she is now in Hollyoaks, I have wished her a happy birthday in today's Hollyoaks thread.

I don't think they should be categorised like that, but the bigger characters IMO are Ross, Aaron, Robert, Cain, Debbie, Moira etc...

So very needy and intense is Finn
Analysis of Emmerdale Characters Shortish version
1) Finn - needy stalker type is the image of his mother
2) Kasim finally escaped from the burning but badly acted intensity of Finn
Sidebar
Seriously Ex Hollyoaks stop giving proper storylines to Z List actors, you have quite a lot of talent in your team use them instead and stay away from Joanie, Finn Tracy and Kerry and their like
3) Rebecca and Chrissie squabbling like teenagers
4) Lawrence threatening to sell the house and throw them out for the 10 millionth time
5) On the busiest night of the year for Taxi drivers no Barton was bothering
6) Joanie punched a police man by soap law she will be sent down for 10 years while murderers got off Scott free
7) Kerry as if they would let you near Kyle Alone
8) Tracy that Vase is going to smell really soon.
Being New Years Eve and i'm in a good mood so I won't be calling for any characters death today or try and fire Ex Hollyoaks.
Happy new year everyone

Probably.
Must admit, I lasted about 6.5 minutes last night. I am rapidly losing patience with Emmerdale, it doesn't even mildly distract me any more. Plus the sight of Tracy's endlessly annoying big face just made me want to smash things.
TOTP was a much better option.
