Think they realised he couldn't act.

I don't find what is attractive about Kasim. He looks like a transsexual and too girly looking.

Finn needs a man, shame Pete and Ross are his brothers and hetro.

I reckon he'll be back. He clearly made his ex up.

What was the point of Kasim? He acted keen on FInn and then lost interest really fast. I know Finn was a bit full on but Kasim should have understood his Dad and cousin had just died and been a bit more understanding.
To get right on my wick and use Finn when he was vulnerable.

It hasn't gone unnoticed that he was fairly keen on Finn until they had sex, then he went all sullen and moody that Emma kept inviting him to things despite the fact that he seemed to want to hang out with Emma and not Finn. And after moving to the village to be with Finn decided that it was Finn who was too full on and moving way too fast.

Seriously, Kasim is a contradictory arsehole with big hair.

I think his acting is fine. He's not out of the Tracy Barlow/Sean Tully school of dreadful actors.
And Kasim is back for the continuing story line with Finn next week

What the actual?

Don't suppose he fancies you much, either.

I thought Kasim came into it because he remembered seeing Emma on the bridge. I was wrong there unless he stays in it and this does happen. We shall see.

I think he's going to be around a little longer but I wouldn't be surprised if he's dropped later in the year.

His point? A love interest for Finn. Another way into examining some of Finn's worser aspects maybe. I dunno.

He's pretty fit though.

He looks like a perfectly normal bloke to me. What a stupid comment.

Eh???? I think you are getting distracted by his hair.
Did you not see those pictures of the body that's lurking under Kasim's clothes?
A google search turned up this page (from the Sun, unfortunately) with the headline 'Chippendale Farm' and it has a youtube clip of Ethan Kai (Kasim) doing the Ice Bucket Challenging wearing just shorts and various other photos on that page (Scroll down) of his very impressive and muscular physique: When you look at Kasim covered up on Emmerdale, you wouldn't think he has such an amazing body.

Ignoring all the trolling...

I'm pretty sure the point of Kasim is to die by Emma's hand, her revenge for Kasim dumping Finn. Or maybe to nearly die by Emma's hand but escape, but either way it's the thing that gets Emma brought in by the cops and then she confesses to everything.

Of course they keep teasing us with Emma ALMOST being revealed but not quite, so I'm probably wrong.

It's not so much the number of couples, just how visible they are. No thought for how others might feel.
Are you serious? Big deal if they're visible. Why the hell shouldn't they be visiible? So people like you aren't put out? Get with the times, dear.

Do you complain about any of the straight couples being visible? I bet you don't.

Can posters get banned for posting homophobic comments (which the above certainly have been) ? I am sure they would for racist comments.
The one who is doing the trolling CANNOT be for real can they? They are trotting out all the worst kind of stereotyped homophobic comment under the sun. It's seems a constant baiting exercise. Don't take the bait! Don't respond. Put on ignore or better still report the poster to the mods.

If you are referring to me you are misrepresenting me totally. I have not said anything homophobic at all. I have stated that I am not homophobic. I have no problem with gay people, although I do wish they would show the same respect for my views as they demand for their own. But I would say that of Labour supporters, Remainers, Clinton supporters...

If I heard or saw anyone being disparaged I would stand up and object. Vociferously. I have done. But I am still entitled to my views on morals, decorum and what I think is socially acceptable.

He was miserable as sin and him with Finn didn't work as a couple as Finn is full on.

Don't get me started on the hair and sour expression.

Revel in what? Being in relationships? Holding hands? Kissing?

It's not as though Fasim, Robron and Launnie are engaging in one massive gang-bang in the village hall each week.
Blimey. Now there's a storyline. Lawrence's ticker wouldn't cope. They could do swinging though, put car keys in a pot, Lawrence goes home with Robert, Ronnie gets Finn, Kasim goes off to make cocoa and no one wants Aaron.


Personally, I think they should bring back Paul and his husband as well.

The more the merrier
I bloody loved Paul.

Waiting for the Emma reveal is pretty much the only thing that's keeping me interested in ED, but it seems a way off yet. I hope it's awesome. I was honestly sweaty palmed with anxiety when Kasim was up on that bridge with Mad Mum.

You can get banned for trolling, yup.

The hair is perfectly fine. The miserableness and sour expression wasn't always there - it just suddenly happened towards the end of this brief relationship. And Finn didn't really come across as being "full on" until he booked the trip to Oz.

Do we definitely think that there will be a reveal with Emma? Or will she get away with it and the story won't have the neat end of her being found out, going to trial, and going to prison for murder. I suppose soaps do like to complete the circle even if they drag things out for many months.
You never know, perhaps Kasim's introduction could, as many have speculated, have been so they have him remembering much later down the line, his seeing Emma and James on the bridge. On the other hand, perhaps the writers weren't clever enough to think of that.

It has been a very badly and inconsistently written story line. They were loved up, kissy and cuddly in the first couple of weeks, and then there was Kasim going all moody and scowling feeling that Finn was pushing too hard, too fast and becoming clingy BUT then we also have Kasim saying things like they are just not compatible together and not right for each other, which seems to be offering a different reason.
From the last episode, it certainly appears as though Kasim has firmly decided that he really does not want a relationship with Finn at all. So, I can't see how that bodes well for them being in a romance. It seems like a dead end now. So, maybe the character of Kasim will be leaving next week. (Hope not though). The 'Finn as extreme stalker' story line seems to be the only other option to keep it going on any further.
It will be interesting to see what happens.

I haven't a clue but put it this way, if there isn't some kind of reveal, I will be very, very disappointed.

Mind you, I'm disappointed 97% of the time by emmerdale these days.

To show that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and that he is a loco as his beautiful psycho of a Mum (why James didn't want to be with he I have no idea - she'd have done anything for him)

James was from a generation that constantly looks further afield rather than at what he had. In this case admittedly only as far as his brother's wife.

Emma has proven herself an able cook, and indeed butcher, a dedicated nurse and carer and unfailingly loyal and devoted. Anything that happened was more his fault than hers and mostly down to circumstance.
