Good episode but I think that a half hoir episode was all that was needed. I could have done without all the Belle nonsense and all that padding and nonsense with Joanie and Lisa. (The Emmerdale writers appeared to be despearately trying to redeem Joanie's character in the eyes of the show's fans. The sooner they get the message that the character is not liked, the better.)
.Zac is a dirty & revolting character and details about his sweaty feet were extraordinarily repulsive. I FF most of the Joannie/Lisa scenes because, as you say, there were there to bulk out a 22 minute episode beyond breaking point. I didn't watch a a second of Ms D-T trying to act with her apparition. Keep to the pouting and flouncing of Belle, would be my advice.Find a different career would also be my advice. She just doesn't have the technique for such a heavy role.I thought it was a crassly written episode with characters just thrown in at random (Megan there? - why?). Even Aaron seemed sloppily written. They seem to be giving him Finn-like mini scenes, where he is there to prop up the bar. I also feel they are writing David as if he were getting over a bout of flu, rather than going through a continuing series of chemotherapy. Also what "ordinary" people get married in church on a Tuesday (or a Thursday, come to that) - double episodes to churn out or no. .

I don't want Adam to die also. There are such more characters that they can killed off. *cough* Chrissie and Lachlan. lol
David is annoying but I love Tracy though I kind of liked Joannie and I like lisa too, but I agree with her, I wouldn't want my husband back if he was having problemes with the other woman. This is obvious now that Rakesh will steal money from his stepfamily. *no more comments* Belle, please let her go to a mental hospital like now. Aaron was so hot tonight I so wish Robert would have seen him in his suit![]() ![]() ![]() And i was rooting for Lawrence tonight. Lachlan was sos deserving this lol. Too bad he comforted him at the end. It was a good episode. Oh and I have a question how is it possible that Zak gets married in a church after his divorce? I guess protestantism allows that. Sorry, probably the reason. I know I couldn't get married in a church if I was divorced, I found that wierd. Sorry. Rakesh is lower than a snakes belly and you wonder how long he can avoid prison. In Britain most non-church goers regard themselves as Church of England, and they don't have problems with divorce, that is a problem for Catholics. Could I just put in a good word for Chrissie last night?. As Ms. Marwood was indisposed, a panda took over her role at short notice - and very good she was too!

The more you see Chrissie the more you expect to see her with a pointed hat and a broomstick. I'm sure they meant super witch not super bitch.
Also - what exactly was that top that Laclan was wearing? |

Andy/Chrissie stuff was good and that last scene with Chrissie and Rakesh was really good.
I'm still finding it silly that people suddenly work out secrets based on 1 throwaway line, seems like Andy's uncanny and contrived ability has rubbed off on a few others. David STILL trying to get Tracy to marry him is just awful. Accept that she's said no ffs. Still too much Zonie/Belle/Bailey though. |

Didn't notice Lachlans top and don't want to rewatch that episode again. Once was more than enough. Best part of it was Ronnie and the Whites and I never thought I'd be saying that. |

The thought of Zac & Joanie making noises through the wall is enough to bring your tea back up.

Chrissie accusing Ronnie of shooting Lawrence!
Just makes me more annoyed to think that Robert's plan will fail and she'll away with all this! Poor Ronnie

Yes Chrissy's favourite musical is obviously Wicked. She is so OTT.

Once was more than enough. Best part of it was Ronnie and the Whites and I never thought I'd be saying that. Yet another disastrous time-filling episode with added Rhona and Pierce nonsense to keep the pot boiling. The only good thing is that I was watching after dark, not at 7 on a summer evening. IMcL will ruin this programme if he stays around |

You can take the boy out of Hollyoaks, but you can't take Hollyoaks out of the boy. That's how I felt watching most of last nights recording. Chrissie is merely "Marnie", over-dressed, over made-up and over demented. It's the same with David - he is Emmeroaks "Tony". He has cancer, so they shave his head, but in all other respects he is not suffering the side effects (nausea, extreme tiredness, lack of energy in all departments), that somebody undergoing ongoing chemotherapy feels.

IMcL will ruin this programme if he stays around I mean he's on;y been in charge for a few months. You were similarly negative about Kate Oates and seemed to have already decided you didn't like IM before he even started. |

Personally I don't care who the producer is provided ED is good. Not boring , predicable, childish or embarrassing. I don't watch HOs but have started to watch CS again. I normally only have time for 1 soap like many other viewers and so have started to record ED and ff watching it later. Not a good sign. The main things I have disliked over the last 3 months is how all SLs are being drawn out until they become boring. The outcome of silly things like the poker game were predictable and the whole spa afternoon was embarrassing . Not to mention Belle and the Dr , Belle and Ellie , Zac and Joanie. Those have been so bad they have made me nearly forget Holly - nearly but not quite. Why has Chrissy been made to look like a Panto villain- childish. I want IMcL to produce good work, he has enough good writers and an amazing cast which I feel he is under using. I'm not writing it off yet hoping he is just taking a bit of time to find his feet. |

He might have only been in charge for a few months, though it seems much longer. |

Ms. Oates work spoke for itself - turgid melodrama, involving outrageous "stunts" interlarded with ridiculous "affairs". My doubts about IMcL were to down to the fact that he came from Hollyoaks - hardly the last word in quality, and I am merely pointing out that many of his ideas seem to be as shallow as the production values of Hollyoaks (a man undergoing chemotherapy who appears t be perfectly well, a woman who has become a devious ruthless b*tch overnight. And of course numerous stroppy and bolshy teenagers.
He might have only been in charge for a few months, though it seems much longer. David has been shown on several occasions to be weak - tired, collapsing, suffering from flu-like symptoms. It's not every week, no, but then cancer patients have their good and bad days. David still has his personality and OTT sense of humour but then that's David; it doesn't mean he isn't ill. We've seen multiple incidents of the chemo taking its toll. As for Chrissie, again it's been shown that she has a ruthless unhinged side before. This isn't new or an overnight personality change. She's been ruthless in the past - she threatened putting out a hit on Donny, she's paid Ross to do her dirty work, she threatened and tricked Robert by pretended to burn him alive. She was vile to Alicia. She's been wronged one too many times - it's not a leap that she has a breaking point. |

You don't seem to have a good word to say about Emmerdale so I don't know why I'm bothering but in regards to those two points you've raised, I think you're wrong.

I will have "good words" to say when we stop having long running AmDram stories, like Belle's apparition, which is ludicrously written and performed, and the Zac/Lisa/Joannie bore-a-thon. Most patients undergoing gruelling chemotherapy treatment have more bad days than good, but they make David's obsession with getting married again etc look like it is nothing much. |

I agree that we have been shown David to be suffering the effects of his treatment on several occasions.There are good and bad days.It is not that there will necessarily be more bad days than good,depending on the amount/strength of chemotherapy he is getting.Everyone reacts differently and do not have the same amount of side effects.They are trying to show his over the top personality with the way he is being, and maybe also some positivity from him as well.Also the marriage thing,albeit a bit annoying,is a focus for him
