How much longer is the Meena storyline going to continue, it’s getting absolutely silly. The hospital storyline of someone on life support leaving on crutches, no luggage or money in the middle of a Pandemic being taken and getting on a plane to find a place to live in Ibiza, is ridiculous. As bad as Belle not ringing Breakdown or the police stranded in a wood with a sick child. Wish they would get some different writers.

Couldn't agree more.

Yep - beyond ridiculous.

I have loved Emmerdale for years, it is the only soap I watch but I agree it is getting beyond ridiculous with this storyline

It's silly, but I enjoy it. Dramatic licence and not taking it to seriously helps, it's just escapism really.

A bit odd that Belle intended to stay in the woods for the night anyway, only tried to get home because of the boys ankle. They would have had sleeping bags etc.

I agree with all that's been said.
I watch & enjoy Emmerdale, but, enoughs enough now on the Meena storyline.
Also, I was telling Belle to call anyone else, before her phone ran out of charge..!!

I agree. Their current storylines are even more outlandish than recent ones in Coronation St and that’s saying something. I’m a glutton for punishment and watch both!

Belle and Kyle were huddled together one night in the car. I know one car window was broken but they were both wearing winter outdoor jackets, hats, gloves etc. Surely one night of that wouldn’t have rendered them both unconscious. Just as well Meena went home and vacated the ICU bed for Kyle?

I should have said just as well Meena took Manpreet home.

Me too, I have now stopped watching it.
Hopefully it will improve.

The Meena story line is too ridiculous for words. Manpreet tied to the bed by Meena is inappropriate,and needs to be stopped asap !! Always used to enjoy Emmerdale but these recent episodes are making me question my tv choices .
