I have been entertained by the show lately. My only downside is waiting ages for Cain & Charity to reunite.

Tonight, we had comedy with Nicola/Jimmy at the bereavement group and Marlon gluing the furniture to the floor - a little less on the adultery or doom & gloom which seems to easily upset people.

I liked the dognapping story because it featured two characters I liked in Ross & Charity. It had it's drama of the pair luring a dog away from it's owners, plus comedy of the Rottweiler chasing them to the playground.

Keep up the good work Emmerdale, and Iain McLeod.

In the interests of balance I'll just say that for me, exHO and his entire team of storyliners need taking out and shooting. I cannot believe just how quickly they have turned the show into a buttock-squeezingly embarrassingly unfunny pantomime.

Preach!!!!

I'm with you 100% on this. The show has degraded into a British version of Neighbours with a bunch of comedy fails. It speaks volumes of MacLeod's ineptitude that the show he left (Hollyoaks) is experiencing a rejuvenation while the show he is on now is being destroyed.

The writing has really gone downhill for a few months now and it is fast becoming a situation comedy. I hope things turn around. I am even going off charity, who has become terribly camp and a shadow of her former self.

All three main soaps are really flawed at the moment. But i get scared in expressing this in case i am accused of being negative and hard to please. But that isn't the case.

What do you think of Hollyoaks? It is really good.

I' ve quite enjoyed it lately but today's s ep was pretty awful
1 Jimmy and Nico exchanging insults and stuffing their faces at a bereavement group
2 comedy dognapping
3 two apparently tough, criminal, street wise characters trapped in a children's s play area by a dog who was more likely to lick them to death than bite them - like a scene by the Children' s Film Foundation.
4 corny gender role reversal
Holly+ Jai, and Cain's s return and lovely PC Swirling were the only good points.

I have never liked Hollyoaks to be honest so i can't comment on it's current state

I am finding the US soaps much better than the UK soaps at the moment.

Maybe you should give it another shot. As for the US soaps I think I'm gonna give Y&R another chance once Sally Susman's material starts airing. She is should be able to turn the show around.

I might do. I don't know

Y&R had a sensational summer. It's a shame you never watched then. I hope you start watching it again. BB is a bit barmy at the moment but addicting. GH is perhaps my fav at the moment because it's coming to the end of some of it's arcs so a lot is going on.

Yes.

Nothing else to say really.

It was brilliant under Kate, it's still good but it seems more comedy? Or is it just me??
