Been an emmerdale fan for many years but am seriously considering giving up on it. Too many horrible characters, John,Robert and Joe , Nate’s murder , etc. no lighter moments , all doom and gloom.

If something good doesn’t happen soon I’m giving up on this

Last night's episode with Cain & Sarah was very touching and well acted. I too prefer Emmerdale to Corrie.

Cain talking to Sarah brought a tear to my eye last night, when I first started the episode I thought 'oh no not another one off where someone's thoughts are aired' but it ended up being quite emotional. I must admit I did think 'not another cancer victim, there must be something in the air in Emmerdale'.

Yes I’m still watching Emmerdale BlueBelle but it might be stretching it to say I’m enjoying it. I agree about Cain’s acting last night, he was very good.

I’m frustrated by so many loose ends that could have been tied up long ago. Nobody in Emmerdale seems to tell the truth. So many lies and cover ups. Poor Bear was brainwashed for months by Celia and Ray and now his son Paddy is brainwashing him.

He killed Ray in self defence and that could have been proved. There was even a hammer at the scene with Ray’s fingerprints on it. But gormless Paddy hid it and made his dad lie. Now poor Moira is in prison on a murder charge as Bear can’t report the facts about Anya’s death. As for the Hotten police force? They’re such an incompetent bunch.

I think we re the only ones enjoying Emmerdale Bridie

Give them time they ll be back with her huge bump that was only about 3 months a couple of weeks ago 🤣🤣🤣

I think Cain did act so well last night

I came to Emmerdale very late only been watching a couple of years, if that, but i like it even better than Corrie now Calandergirl

Bridie22 Thu 05-Feb-26 07:06:54

Im watching, thought Cain was good last night and made me weepy, but wish they would hurry up and tie up all the loose ends!
Where has Charity and Mac gone?

Calendargirl Thu 05-Feb-26 07:05:02

Sorry BlueBelle, I only watch Corrie, and I often wonder why I bother with it!

BlueBelle Thu 05-Feb-26 06:59:30

No body else watching Emmerdale

Emmerdale was superb tonight Cain s acting was excellent he nearly had me in tears He did a great job

I hate the daftness of many of the Ray/Celia storylines. Why would drug barons/traffickers/all round nasties only in it for the money be living in that minging farmhouse kitchen in a property they don't even own but rent off Kim?
Why has nobody wondered why murdered "family man" Callum's disappearance hasn't been reported all over social media as it surely would be IRL?
Why didn't Marlon, Rhona and April collectively give Celia a good, hard bash with that stick she swaggers about with, tie her to a chair and phone the police with the evidence of poor Dylan's hit and run handy on her phone and giving them the tip off to raid the minging farm kitchen to reveal all the bad goings on?
Why is my blood pressure rising as I even write these imaginary scenariosconfused. I really need to invest less and get out more!

Sorry wrong thread

Grannydaisy1 Fri 28-Nov-25 08:36:30

karma I love the pattern for the rag doll. I hope you enjoy making it and post a picture when it's done

Grannynannywanny Fri 28-Nov-25 08:32:15

Poor Bear is brainwashed and isn’t aware that he’s in close proximity to Emmerdale village. He seems to have developed a psychological dependency on the vile Ray and thinks he’s his friend. Last night he scuppered the escape plan by tipping him off.

However, it’s frustrating to see the turkey farm is just across the fence from Moira’s field. She is financially invested but hasn’t even set foot in the place. Likewise Paddy the vet allowed Celia to fob him off when he visited to do a welfare check.

BlueBelle Fri 28-Nov-25 07:21:32

However I think Bear is playing a good part and although I can’t quite understand where the fields are n relation to the village surely they are not that far out for him to recognise where he is However having said that I do think it’s a decent storyline and one that needs telling as it is happening in real life and doesn’t get brought up very often to the public I also think Dylan and April s is a good storyline too as it’s a very prevalent problem in our society April is so tiny and looks so unhappy always Life isn’t a bed of roses for many young people and after all it is supposed to be reflecting real life (albeit all in one tiny village)
I m sure it ll lighten up for Christmas and perhaps everyone will be ‘home’

Calendargirl Fri 28-Nov-25 07:12:58

I haven’t watched Emmerdale since the days of Matt and Dolly Skilbeck (think that was their names) but looking at these last few comments, it really looks on a par with Corrie, the only soap I do watch now, and I frequently wonder why I even bother with it!

Allsorts Fri 28-Nov-25 07:08:50

Cain has probably left them all to it! So depressing now.

Ellie Anne Tue 25-Nov-25 19:51:39

Where is cain these days ?

Grannynannywanny Sun 23-Nov-25 08:25:42

I’ve been a loyal Emmerdale watcher for more years than I can remember. Some evenings now I wonder why I stick with it. The scene with the hapless GP Liam being duped into driving the robbery get away car was farcical.

I knew as soon as he got in the car with Kev what was about to happen. I’m sure they copied the scene from an episode of Father Ted.

Then we have the the never ending dark storyline of April and Dylan that needs some kind of conclusion .

The people trafficking story in Cynthia’s turkey farm is horrendous. I thought when Kim appeared on the scene she’d uncover what’s going on. But she seems to have met her match in Cynthia and she bid a hasty retreat.

Allsorts Sun 23-Nov-25 07:29:29

Agree Ellie. Wish they would get some different writers for Emmerdale and Corrie, the current ones are ruining them. Such misery and violence.

Ellie Anne Fri 21-Nov-25 20:36:08

Too much nastiness and sadness now.

sodapop Fri 21-Nov-25 12:28:38

I'm still watching BlueBelle although feeling a bit cynical about some of the story lines.
They do try to cram all life's social problems into one short programme.
I like Lewis as well and he plays the part well.
I agree with you about Bear Dottydots.

Dottydots Fri 21-Nov-25 11:58:42

Bear still has all his marbles, so why doesn't he just walk away.

Elless Fri 21-Nov-25 10:07:38

I've been away for a few days and caught up on two and a half hours of Emmerdale last night - what a farce it has become. Can't stand Kev walking round like a Liam Gallagher wannabe with his hands behind his back pointing in peoples faces all the time and the April storyline is ridiculous - she looks about 12! Liam being dragged into an armed robbery 🙄 need I go on.

dogsmother Fri 21-Nov-25 09:26:59

A lot of ridiculousness and I’m cross with myself for being invested with nothing better to do but “ just one more look” to see if anything happens tonight. I must remind myself it’s a soap!
