I'm disappointed in Moira now tbh. Like most people, I know what a terrible thing grief is but it really doesn't give you an excuse for the total selfishness and self-centredness that she's been showing ever since she lost Holly.
![]() As for Pete, who is no longer MyLovelyPete, what another cheating scumbag. He's only been lucky enough to have Leyla for 5 bloody minutes and he still can't resist taking advantage of Moira's grief just for the sake of a quick shag. ![]() ![]() |

Fair enough, but you can apply that just as easily to Pete, that's my point.
But I understand you're being bias, that's okay. I can be bias too. I mean I think we all are at some stage. Yeah! I'm liking the new emojis, very festive and fun. ![]() Quote:

Why has Moira been given a personality transplant. Her character is being ruined.

In fairness though it takes two, and Pete doesn't advance if Moira doesn't wish

What gets me about the Emmerdale story lines are that Emma has got off scott free whereas Moira gets the sick bits like getting it on with her nephew. Who is writing this stuff?

They've been ruining the character since John's death.

I don't like this twist but to me it isn't that out of character they've created.
When Moira and John first arrived it was made out that they were a very happy couple who had been true to each other throughout their relationship so when she started a fling with Cain because John wasn't giving her attention (as he was trying to build up their business) I was foaming but that unfortunately seems to be the route they've gone down with her. We later found out that another time when her and John were having troubles early in their relationship she shagged her husband's brother James and Adam was the result! Guess who got most of the shit for it? *roll eyes* She had a fling with Cain, broke her husband's heart and he tragically died when they were trying to repair their relationship. Moira was distraught and yup! She ended up having a fling with Alex Moss who worked on her farm but who hid from her the fact that he was in a relationship with Victoria. Guess who Victoria blamed? *roll eyes* Since then there's been random shag(s) with James and now she's done a hat trick and shagged James's son/her late husband's nephew Pete! Way to go Moira! Just Ross and Finn to go *roll eyes* Moira gets traumatised/upset, sooner or later she'll shag someone. If they were single and not a relative it would be OK but the fact that sometimes they're attached and often relatives (in-laws but still relatives) it's all a bit grimy. |

Leyla should do a Debbie and get with Ross. That should teach cheating Pete a thing or two.

Cheers!
![]() Pete did not go to wake up his beloved daughter, having supported her through years of heroin addiction, to find her dead in bed. It's not the same. Pete is not, and never has been, worthy of the Lovely Leyla. What he did was seriously rank. At least Moira wasn't with anyone else, and lying to them. Obviously discovering your daughter dead in bed is horrible, but you can't say: "Well It's not the same because Moira found her daughter dead in bed and Pete didn't." At least Moira knows how her daughter died so she can find some closure, Pete and his brothers have no real clue what happened to James despite their mother's lies. If anything, Pete has more reason to be messed up about James's death than Moira about Holly's death. Loss is loss. Grief is grief. It's hard on everyone involved. You can't quantify it.

Eh? They've both lost a loved one in tragic and mysterious circumstancess. Many people in real life, like Pete, often wake up to news from the police that their child or parent is dead - it doesn't make it any less painful than someone who has found a loved one dead. Her loss isn't any greater or any more traumatic than his. I'm not sure what you mean by "it's not the same" but okay...

I think what Cyril was implying is that Moira's grief would've been a lot different to Pete because she lost a child. Pete is obviously devastated at his dad's death, but losing your own child is a different kind of pain altogether.
The circumstances of both deaths are terrible for the victims. I think it's best left there. Pete's just better at coping with his loss in a more mature (and boring) way. But getting back to the real point here... what I was trying to say was that Moira isn't any more vulnerable than Pete at this moment in time because they've both suffered a loss, so I don't think you can say he's taking advantage when Moira's the one who ran across the kitchen to snog him lol! Nor does it excuse her selfish and reckless behaviour tonight. In my eyes, they're both to blame and are as icky as each other. That's not saying I hate Moira or anything, I think the writing is letting her down IMO. |

I mean it was bound to happen, and i think this attraction is going to last, like Pete said it was unfinished business and also that element of knowing that cant be together, well in Pete's case knowing he cant be with her

I haven't lost a parent or a child but I can't t imagine that anything would be worse than to lose a child. Parents never stop wanting to protect their children no matter how old they grow. It seems to me that it's s a basic primal instinct to try to keep their children alive. I' m not diminishing the loss of a parent - I absolutely dread it happening to me, but on some level I think we understand as we age that our parents will probably die before us, and that this is what they would want. Obviously Pete would not have expected his father, a healthy middle aged man to die so young, but bad as his grief will be, I can' t help thinking that he will be able to accept what has happened more easily, because painful though it is, it is the natural order of things.
Moira' s coping with not only this terrible loss, but also a divorce and the death of a close friend. No wonder she' s lost the plot. She must feel like she's s holding on to sanity by her fingertips, and this is someone very mentally healthy and resilient. I mean I still grieve for my beloved childhood dog, but I' m not what you' d call well balanced Moira' s 100 times more resilient and positive in normal circumstances, so that indicates how much Holly's s death has affected her.Also Pete' s done a right number on Cain just to protect his dirty little secret and his three week old relationship Yet another ' decent character' who' s really a bit of a sh&t. ' Doing it for Moira,' my foot! ' Doing it so I don't get battered and lose my girlfriend' more like.Although I' m still struggling to see how a vechile going 2mph caused such damage

Well, I think it depends on what sort of family you come from and in a lot of cases your culture and/or religion too... In my family, it works differently.
I don't think everyone has the same mindset about loss and grief. I respect both viewpoints posed by myself and Cyril. Nevertheless, I still don't see how it's Pete's fault that Moira sprinted across the kitchen like Usain Bolt to snog his face off . It takes two to tango and all that. I would say grief is irrelevant at this point. Most people with common sense, regardless whether they are suffering with grief or not, know it's wrong and icky to kiss their nephew/aunt and vice versa.

It seems to be generally considered harder to lose a child. I don't hear people saying "no child should outlive their parents" and I can't imagine that many people would choose to lose a child over a parent. Not saying that losing a parent isn't hard. Of course it is. I can't even imagine how I'd feel.
This storyline is just pointless though. Pete knows what it's like to be cheated on, but he respects Leyla so little, that he didn't even give cheating on her a second thought. Moira should know better by now. I'm sick of her immaturity. I'm not looking forward to the reaction from Ross though. No doubt he'll get up on his sexist high horse, blame Moira for everything and act like he's Mr Perfect. |

I agree, most people would likely choose to lose a parent over a child if they had to pick. Children will always come first (in the eyes of both parents and grandparents) and are seen as more of a priority regardless of potential grief.
In the end, both scenarios are tragic and doesn't bear thinking about. I certainly wouldn't presume to think my grief is worse than anyone else's, though. |

It wouldn't be so bad if the show was actually trying to tell some kind of narrative about the attraction between a woman and her nephew - the moral struggle against something that is generally seen as morally wrong with most folks.
But its not - its all just been some contrived off-screen sexual hook up - no doubt to create the jeopardy of the timebomb of psycho Emma going all psycho again. ps - on a sidenote Other than Cain - every guy Moira has shagged has ended up dead - are Pete's days numbered ![]()

This is lazy writing of all the ways a person may go off the rails when grieving to make it she sleeps with her nephew is just lazy and headline grabbing. The drinking isn't exactly clever writing either.

He's only been lucky enough to have Leyla for 5 bloody minutes and he still can't resist taking advantage of Moira's grief just for the sake of a quick shag. 

But I understand you're being bias, that's okay. I can be bias too. I mean I think we all are at some stage.
