New thread.

Along with the unlikeliness of Bernie as a femme fatale, I don't see David Platt as the BIL who you might wish to tempt away from your sister.
Is Jodie's motive simply to make mischief, or ...?
She's a busy girl, isn't she?

Bukkie Fri 27-Feb-26 08:56:48

Although she doesn't seem popular on here, I like Bernie and would like a nice happy life for her. At least she can act unlike her dreadful daughter. Where did Jodie get her box from? She didn't have it when she was escaping in Corriedale? I like Will and would like him to work in the Bistro and become a more central character. Don't put him with mardy Lauren. Why is she allowed to be so rude at work?

BlueBelle Fri 27-Feb-26 09:12:47

No I watch Emmerdale Doodledog Jodie has never been in Emmerdale or mentioned in Emmerdale as far as I know

They ve given Lauren a whole new persona she never used to be so grumpy and sullen look how scared she was and how loving with Frankie she’s had a whole personality transplant over night

I think Jodie overheard Bernie telling Mal at the top of her voice she would kill him, and Jodie decided to create mischief.

I hope Bethany does some more digging around. Jodie definitely stole the wedding ring and hid it down the side of the chair.

Calendargirl Fri 27-Feb-26 10:14:32

I have to point out BlueBelle that, IMHO, Lauren has always been sullen and mardy.

Just more so lately.

Why lovely Will is interested, I don’t know.

Having said that, she looks very pretty nowadays, if only she smiled more, smile and looked marginally keen to be a good barmaid, not a stroppy one.

nanaK54 Fri 27-Feb-26 10:36:28

I am going 'nuts'?!

It's Ollie isn't it not Will who is far from lovely...he is being groomed by the dreadful Megan.

nanaK54 Fri 27-Feb-26 10:37:32

Meant to say 'Am I going nuts'?! grin

Bukkie Fri 27-Feb-26 11:03:46

NanaK - You are not going nuts! Many of the storylines are baffling, many are just forgotten and not revisited, on many occasions I think I have missed an episode because something happens without a build up. And most frustratingly they impose characters on us we hate like Gemma, undead Becky, Swain etc...and get rid of or underuse characters we like such as Glenda, Debbie, Sally and Adam.

nanaK54 Fri 27-Feb-26 11:27:11

Phew!
Thanks Bukkie
Agree with everything you have said.

BlueBelle Fri 27-Feb-26 11:49:39

Anyone tell me where Jodie has sprung from, she wasn’t in Emmerdale ?

I don’t think Lauren was always mardy she was sweet with Frankie and Max, and she was abused so had a reason to be scared and not too happy

Grannynannywanny Fri 27-Feb-26 12:01:35

BlueBelle Jodie first turned up in the crossover episode Corriedale. She was tied up in the back of a van and escaped when it crashed. No idea why she was in the van.

She ended up in hospital with the other injured ones from both soaps. When she was prowling round the hospital she spotted Shona.

Not in the least bit far fetched! 😂

BlueBelle Fri 27-Feb-26 12:18:58

Yes I know where she was found Granny I saw her in the hospital and the arm tattoo and everything but why was she tied up in a van, and and and !!! None of it makes sense,
I watch Emmerdale and Corrie and saw the crossover programme but it all so out of the blue, snd weird , why was she tied up in a van? I ve never seen her in Emmerdale, so what was the link ? I thought I must have missed a programme out or something
Anyone else know ?

Calendargirl Fri 27-Feb-26 13:30:20

Correction to my earlier post with apologies.

I mentioned ‘the lovely Will’.

🤷‍♀️

What was I typing??

I, of course, meant Ollie.

Not silly little Will.

Calendargirl Fri 27-Feb-26 13:32:13

There’s no hope for those of us who don’t watch Emmerdale if BlueBelle, who does, still doesn’t know where Jodie fits in.

Jodieb Fri 27-Feb-26 14:52:02

Shona would have known she took off wedding ring (along with a load of other rings) so how would it have been really deep in a chair that we never see her sitting in? Haha

Charleygirl5 Fri 27-Feb-26 17:13:41

I automatically assumed, wrongly, that Jodie had been in Emmerdale which I had never watched but as others have said, there was no explanation, and she is well settled now.

I didn't realise Sally and Adam are leaving.

Bukkie Fri 27-Feb-26 17:22:30

As far as I am aware Sally and Adam aren't leaving, but they are underused. Sorry for the confusion.

Doodledog Fri 27-Feb-26 22:04:47

Please don’t say who is leaving- it spoils it for those of us who don’t read soap news☺️. Speculating about what might happen is one thing, but if we know someone is going it kills any suspense.

Bukkie Sat 28-Feb-26 11:22:06

Sorry if my post has caused confusion. I don't know anyone who is leaving and even if I did I wouldn't say. What I meant was, that we seem to lose good characters like Paul and keep the dross like Gemma.

Clawdy Mon 02-Mar-26 08:40:34

Hope the Jodie storyline doesn't go on much longer, but it probably will.

Grannynannywanny Mon 02-Mar-26 09:02:19

The Shona and Jodie actors are well matched in appearance. Even sometimes when Jodie speaks her voice sounds just like Shona’s.

I’m starting to lose interest now waiting to hear her back story. She’s a very devious cuckoo in David and Shona’s nest. I hope David doesn’t give in to temptation and fall for her flirting.

Charleygirl5 Mon 02-Mar-26 13:24:55

I can't believe Theo is still there. I am sure he will be injured any day soon. I can't stand the sight of him or Jodie a conniving bitch.

nanaK54 Tue 03-Mar-26 09:05:08

Ah so Jim MacDonald is dead, so he is!

Thought the quick covering up of the 'Marry Me' display was quite amusing.

Baby story is just ridiculous, as if you can just 'deliver' a baby to an Auntie like that...

I suppose we will have to re-visit the Will/Megan and Theo/Todd storylines very soon...it all feels very disjointed these days.
