How painful is this 'man' to watch? He gives me a rash just watching him. I have a bad reaction whenever he appears on screen

When Jimmy's without Sadie - He's nothing special.

Whoever he is, he can't be any worse than Dev.

Nah. I liked 3 of them, then they killed the only really really lovely one. Typical.

I am hoping that Tom dies soon. At least we know that Sadie is leaving in August.

That isn't cast in stone........ she has just had a new contract that takes her to August. She could be offered another after.

According to one of the soap critics, I can't remember which one, the stories of her leaving that appeared in the papers was based on conjuncture not fact.

But she said that she wanted to spend more time with her kids didn't she? Oh no, she's staying??

It was the papers that said she said that.
I've a mate who had a whole article written about him and his web site. It was written as though he had given an interview but all they had done was visit his site.

Who knows what will happen next year she may or may not be offered a contract time will tell

I used to think Ruby was acted ok until it was pointed out by a TV Critic (Garry Bushell I think) that she always hunches her shoulders whenever she says anything.

Its all I can notice when I watch her now, - its almost as annoying as people who say "know what I mean?" at the end of each sentence, know what I mean?

I see what you mean - when she has her bag she holds it and then when she talks to someone she moves her hand..that is quite annoying... :sleep:

I know this is off the original topic... but when the actress who plays Ruby Allen is in a scene.. she only ever comes to life during her lines. Everyone else interacts and responds to what the other characters are saying, but she tends to just stop when her lines have finished... as if she's waiting for the other person to finish saying their lines before she comes to life again.

On topic, Nick Miles is one of the weakest actors in Emmerdale at the moment. He makes me cringe everytime he comes on screen. Patsy may be wooden, but I feel it adds to her character, and makes her come across even more cold and calculating. Jimmy King is meant to have a sense of humour, and be quite emotional and Nick Miles just cannot get that across with his delivery.

HAHA well Jimmy always makes me laugh. I am going to wet myself when he runs over that tree! I thought he was good when Max died, people were like oooooh he didn't cry or act upset it's sooooo unrealistic but I think a delayed reaction is much more realistic than Tom's pathetic staggering act.
