For the simple reason that it's absolutely the funniest soap on TV. I think on occasion Paddy and Marlon are even more hilarious than Blanche... *hides*
It's not often that you wait ages and ages for a couple to get back together and they don't and it never get's boring even though you know they're meant for each other, but they refuse to see it. But Viv and Bob manage to be the perfect couple and still make for great telly.
And where would Celebrity Stars In Their Eyes be without at least one appearance per show by someone from the Dales..?

I watched Emmerdale yesterday (i don't very often) and noticed a guy in it who was friends with Andy and his brother. I think he is the same bloke who played the feminine actor playing Juliet in Shakespeare in Love.
Can anybody confirm this?

The vet bloke? I dunno.
But anyway, Andy's in the barn. And it's on fire! Oh it's so remoniscent of Sarah's death etc...

I think Emmerdake is on far too often these days.
It also always annoys me that noone EVER mentions the fact that a plane crashed on the village. You'd think it'd come up occasionally.
I also didn't follow Paddy and Emily. Were they supposed to have never had sex? How confusing.

That would be Daniel Brocklebank ( fantastic name) who was also in The Hole. IMDB doesn't have any mention of Emmerdale - www.imdb.com/name/nm0110689/

Andy shoots Jack, meaning to kill the other brother, no consequences. Andy tells Katy about the other brother's affair with Sadie and he gets left for dead in aburning barn? I think the other brother (who I forget the name of) would have been after payback for a lot more a lot sooner than now.

But when he killed Sarah he was a different actor with a completely different personality who didn't get lines. Then he went on holiday.

When Andy killed Sarah, Robert (the other brother) was played by a different actor. Andy has always been played by the same actor.

Sorry, should have specified.
I've been watching, has Zoe left yet?

Post by groopie on Aug 3, 2005 15:30:24 GMT
Zoe's still there, although Scott had a miraculous recovery so there's been much to-ing and fro-ing to the courtroom. I think she still has her bail as long as she stay away from the Windsors, although I am starting to get a bit mixed up with this one and Tracey/Steve/Amy in Corrie. Zoe's been on the back burner for a few days though, while the Kings and Sugdens fight / set things on fire. And Viv seems to have forgotten baby Jean while she pines for Bob.
Hope this helps x.

Awww.
Bob & Viv Bob & Viv Bob & Viv
However, I think I would seriously consider not marrying someone, however I felt about them if it meant I ould be called Donna Dingle.

I love how the Dingles are kind of like an all-encompassing organism that is swelling and developing and will one day control the entire village. Like how new Dingles arrive out of nowhere, and how even if you aren't born a Dingle, you marry a Dingle, or have an affair with a Dingle, or you turn out to be descended from a Dingle. Look at Emily. She's only a Dingle by marriage and she's already ensconsed in the house and doing all the skivvying. It's like the Borg.

Three cheers for Kelly Windsor! Now that Candice has left Corrie we have a far superior character imitating (and exaggerating) actress scenario.
In her absence from Emmerdale Adele Silva has done little (work wise) other than lad mag photo shoots and appearing on Most Haunted.
In her absence from Emmerdale Kelly Windsor has been a luckless model doing 'barely legal' porn shoots.
And how scary is Sherrie Hewson looking these days?

Now, much as I love Emmerdale, I really couldn't stomach last night's face off between Steph and Val. All those close-ups of crows feet. Urgh...

Give me a close up of Steph or Val over the horrific Sherrie Hewson any day.

I love Val and T-Bag/Diane. I would love to see them swap bodies in a Freaky Friday style spoof. It could turn out to all have been a dream so that realism needn't be thrown out the window.

Emmerdale - Ears.
Jimmy has the most huge and mis-shappen looking ears I've ever seen.
Sadie appears to have no ear lobes, where are they, where they removed and injected into her lips by any chance?

The last 10 minutes of last night's was fantastic, if only for the sight of him-dragged-up shrieking through the square village.

They seem to do that quite a lot. I remember when Rodney ripped off his wig outside the pub. Obviously it wasn't as good as when Insane Dr Kimberly Shaw ripped off her own wig on Melrose Place, but still.
