Emmerdale

[aaliyahman]

I have missed a month or so as I didn't want to see Faith go, watched yesterday's episode and I'm stunned. My mum was like 'Live, Al, Harriet DEAD'.
Who else snuffed it or is that it, where is Cain?

I know, it was a whirlwind, too much really. They tried to cram everything into one month that would usually be over six.

Cain’s in prison for killing Al but it was actually Kyle.

I wish the storm had killed off a few more actually

They should have brought someone back from the dead too, like they did Kathy in Eastenders. Chris Tate should just come back. I know he had an inoperable brain tumour so killed himself onscreen to frame Charity, but he could have faked the whole thing…

Sian Gibson (then Foulkes) in today's (and tomorrow's) classic Emmerdale as one of Rodney's women!
She was quite stunning 20 years ago.

I remember this! I went on to work and socialise with her between 2003 and 2006 (may have mentioned that already on here when Car Share was on).

Wow that's pretty cool!!! I'm very jealous.

She was lovely and good fun, she used to go to auditions when we worked together and had the odd small part so it was really nice to see her get her big break. I went to her 30th and Peter Kay was there!

That's awesome. I love hearing people's cool life stories. And being at a party with them is a pretty brilliant one to be able to tell. My claim to fame (which also features someone from emmerdale) is that when I was a kid I used to act a wee bit and I was cast in this film called Puckoon as the huge part of 'water pump boy'. Basically it was the middle of winter in Ireland. Freezing. And I was hungry. I seem a table with loads of sandwiches etc so I went and I took one (I was probably only about 11) and the actor who played Butch Dingle in Emmerdale seen me, came over. Snatched it from me and shouted at me in front of people for eating from the casts table. Elliot Gould was also in the film and happened to see it and came over and started laying into Butch telling him to **** off basically, called him a dick and gave me a sandwich. I still have a note he wrote me on my last day that says something along the lines of never forget even he was an extra once. It was very sweet. Butch however, almost made me cry.

[Thriller]

BehindBreakaway amazing was the sandwich worth it?!

How the hell is Butch Dingle shouting at kids?

I remember when I did some extra work in some show called Bonkers, Mark Addy (before GOT) was in it and we all had food on a catering bus. He was so friendly and funny, offering me his food because 'he was a fat sh*t off this stuff'. It was a really nice day tbh and it's funny how the z lister actors are the ones with the ego. It was like that with the Hollyoaks actors.

I'm almost certain I watched Bonkers, that's really cool! He sounds so down to earth. I agree it's always the ones who shouldn't have the ego that do

Hello, Steven! I must have seen that - it's a Spike Milligan story. I didn't know "Butch Dingle" was the voice of Gerry Adams! https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0521786/...dyk_trv#trivia

Yes it is the Spike milligan one. I'm in a few of the scenes however I don't think I've ever fully watched it myself.

It did have an amazing cast though. Richard Attenborough was super friendly.

Literally Butch was the only nasty one. And it was a shame cos my mum loved Emmerdale so he was the one she was excited for me to meet where as I just wanted to meet Monica and Rosa's dad from friends

[Artoo]

So Chas and Cain’s long lost brother Caleb rocks up on Christmas Day, as you do. Which wouldn’t be too bad, except Chas doesn’t know he exists. Just like she did know about her sister Ginny either. Cain does know of Caleb, but probably because the writers thought giving Cain a secret sibling so soon after giving him a secret son would be considered unrealistic.

[BehindBreakaway]

I would find a sibling they both never knew about a lot more believable than Cain hiding it for years tbh.

[aaliyahman]

I used to fancy the hell out of that actor.

[Thriller]

Oh it’s him from Where The Heart Is and Waterloo Road!

Why would Faith give away a child that looks as if he’s younger than Cain? Unless he was born after she left, to another man. Why would he not be mentioned once by her before she died? It’s like the writers got bored and thought “oh we’ve killed two Dingles so let’s bring another in”.

I hope Victoria and David stay split, the relationship has been a dead end for her.

[BehindBreakaway]

David has become insufferable and has been for a while. Are they trying to turn him into his dad at that age? I'm not sure how they redeem him to be honest.

He's been insufferable for the longest time. Even through the Meena 'relationship' he was a mess. He literally used to be my favourite (hottest) guy in the soap and now he's just an annoying, whiney, useless pointless person, almost how Bob used to be but without the showboating.

He's been shot so, like you said, how can he redeem himself. Likely they'll give him some 'tragedy' to overcome.

[aaliyahman]

Aww my favourite kid Arthur. My heart swelled.

Charity on the receiving end of Moira’s rage again

Cain and Chas’s new brother is doing that typical thing that happens in soap where they manage to ingratiate themselves in record time
