Watching tonight I’d totally forgotten about Evan. He seems to have disappeared!

Yes he gets the odd mention but otherwise is invisible. He doesn't seem to need much care either.

It's like Martin in Eastenders was always in his bedroom, dud not see him for years.

We're a very small minority on here aren't we fellow Emmerdale fanssmile

I watch both Emmerdale and Corrie but even though I'm across the great Pennine divide I much prefer Emmerdale. There are are many silly storylines but when they get it right, as they did last night with, hopefully, the conclusion of Bear's ordeal, it makes for great viewing.

I thought it was very well acted, directed and very moving.

I know the same production team are apparently responsible for both soaps but think if there's mainly a Corrie crew they could do with a few lessons from the Yorkshire lot.

Why do the script writers bring in so many horrible characters? I’m having to fast forward all the scenes with dr Todd.

Dr Todd is a horrible character. I hope she gets her comeuppance soon. It’s unusual for someone to get the better of Charity.

I read that a returning character may bring about DrTodd's downfall. No spoilers shhhhhh

Grannynannywanny Tue 19-May-26 09:38:34

Oh I hope you’re right sodapop. I hadn’t seen any spoilers and usually try to avoid them. I can think of one absent character who’d be up for the job. Fingers crossed!

Charity has always been the one to best anyone, surely they won’t allow the dreadful Dr. to get one over Charity!

Nannee49 Tue 19-May-26 13:27:15

Urgh! Dr Todd...she is horrible isn't she and mouthy Vanessa with her snap judgments is really getting on my nerves too.
Hope your info is right sodapop and the dastardly Doc is served reet.

Dr Todd what a nasty character I hope Charity can come up with a plan and as for Vannesa she's so stupid when it comes to relationships

I did watch Coronation Street for years but then switched to EastEnders so I watch two soaps but if it only had to be one it would be Emmerdale…
I like characters like Todd they bring a bit of spice to the soap, if soaps were just like ordinary villages it would be very very boring to watch…

Nannee49 Wed 20-May-26 08:06:48

I take your point Shinamae, evil characters like Dr. Todd, Ray, Celia etc do give the dark side to the light and shade a good soap needs.
Speaking of which, Dawn's getting herself in a proper pickle with evil Joe and creepy Graham on her case. Why, oh why, did she ever leave lovely Billy for him?

Grannynannywanny Wed 20-May-26 08:55:18

It was just too good to be true last week that Dawn, Moira and Belle were going to bring Joe down. I wonder if Kim is in on it with Joe and Graham or if she might come to Dawn’s rescue.

All that’s going on in the world and I’m pondering over this at breakfast time😂

I suppose it is a good distraction from real life.

Emmerdale is my preferred soap. I am enjoying it at the moment but do find that they drag the storylines on too long.
