So exactly why should Aaron forgive and forget?

His uncle just compared him to his dad who abused him as a kid, and his supposed mate told him he deserves everything he gets.

but because chas has cancer and wants everyone to be nice to each other he's supposed to let this all slide??

fuck that. fuck the lot of them.

pack your stuff and go break your husband out of prison!

Oh Angry Boy…

They say you can’t go home again and they might just be right. Sometimes it is better to leave the past in the past. But as they say in the mafia, once you’re in, you’re in. There’s no getting out. So if you insist on staying, do us all a favor and convince that ex husband of yours to appeal his way out of prison. The village misses him. XOXO Gossip Dale 💋

A Robert mention on Emmerdale, the hell is really freezing over

[scrapyardboyfriends]

Decided to watch the Emmerdale episode...

Imagine how much more impactful all of this would be if these teens were actually developed as real characters. Now yes, Cathy has been more. We've seen her bully April and have crushes on older boys and have her messy pmdd story. So she has a sort of character. Not a very likable one but sure. But Heath and Angelica? These kids are less than nothing other than that Heath played the guitar and was Cathy's twin. Angelica is even worse.

Heath was in 29 episodes this year. Mostly showing up as a background character in Cathy's story or I guess being there in the lead up to this. In past years his stats are 2019 - 8 episodes, 2020 - 3 episodes, 2021 - 21 episodes, 2022 - 8 episodes. That's just not enough to build a character in any way.

Angelica was in 15 episodes in 2023. Her stats for past years, 2019 - 24 episodes, 2020 - 4 episodes, 2021 - 6 episodes, 2022 - 6 episodes. Again, not enough to even slightly build her character.

If they want us to care about these teen characters, they have to try harder and give them actual screen time now and then. And sure, they could use this story to finally develop Angelica's character and build on Cathy's character more. But I sort of feel like this is going to end up being an exit story for Cathy. I guess she could be more serious about acting than her brother and want to stay but I just kind of see them as a set so I feel like she might just end up in prison for reckless driving and manslaughter or something.

Speaking of which, if I was actually watching regularly, I would be dreading listening to all of these people dealing with Heath's death, especially since they never made even an ounce of effort to make me care about Heath or his relationships with any of these people.

Also, I'm sure Angelica will barely feature yet again.

Prove me wrong Emmerdale!

As for the rest of the episode....

Aaron and Mack stealing cars is already boring.

The party scenes were pretty manic, but I guess that was to contrast the tragedy. Still, it was kind of nice to see bigger gatherings of characters with extras. In a post covid soap world, that's still a rarity.

I wish Belle and Tom were just going to get to be happy and they weren't doing this engagement just to make the inevitable domestic abuse story more tragic.

I still fail to understand why they did any of this with Amit. Unless there's more to his involvement in Rishi's death, what is even the point of any of this??

Always having to drag Ryan into the pub so four people can wish him happy birthday always just feels so pathetic. I once again really wish they had never made him a secret Dingle.

This Tracy/Caleb affair continues to be the worst because they absolutely refuse to give me a reason why these people actually might want each other. Or even what Tracy and Nate's supposed "blip" could even be about.

Slightly intrigued by the idea of Mary and Suzy. At least that's a relationship that we've actually seen develop. And I'd rather that than her getting back with Vanessa when she returns.

I don't know that I particularly care about Baby Ivy other than that I wish they'd just call her Ivy instead of "little Ivy" all the time. It's annoying. Also, eventually Rhona and Marlon are just going to end up raising her anyway so let's get on with it.

Overall, not a terrible episode but could have been soooo much better if these producers didn't suck.

[cowboybuckleys]

Can't wait for Cain, Sam, and and the rest of the Dingles to bury Tom alive in a shallow grave.

[spongerobertstudpants]

I'm doing an emmerdale catchup. Not quite sure why I'm still watching. But moving on, would it be too soon to think they will have Zack's death occur just before Belle's wedding? Something soapy has to happen but this feels too on the nose

[renamusing]

ok so ive caught up with todays ep and i wanted to write down a few thoughts.

im actually happy to see things moving on for aaron plotwise. it was nice to see him hang out with the dingles (if only briefly) after chas barred him, though the state he was in at the police station because of her just didnt match the vile he has been dishing out for the past few months. it's clear the writers are struggling with continuity/consistency, so i try not to expect too much, but i still felt a bit of whiplash.

anw, now that the love triangle nonsense is over, i wonder what aaron will be irritated about on thursday? it was a CHOICE to have him there watching mack give up his son. aaron surely remembered how the same thing happened to him when robert let rebecca take their son. so im kinda excited for a mention on thursday if aaron gets angry at mack for letting it happen. it fits in with the car stealing plot thats coming too, so i hope to god it doesnt have anything to do with chas and charles or paddy. we've had enough of that, thanks.

Mentioning Ben in the same breath as Robert, ew, how very dare they...

[reinacadeea]

Just watching last night’s Aaron scenes.

I have so many feelings about Aaron and all that he’s been through. And all the complicated feelings that he constantly has to confront.

No character can make me feel so frustrated and at the same time, making me want to hug him.

Anyway, I love you, Aaron Dingle, forever!

[sugdenlovesdingle]

Every guy Aaron's been with since Robert is dead.

Kayak boy - taken care of by Meena

Ethan - killed by Ruby's plot

Has anyone checked on Marco from Italy lately?

[hail-the-angel]

The first time I’ve tuned into Emmerdale in years and Liv’s dying. Wtf have I missed😳

[elysianlibra]

ok so I don’t usually do this but that episode was truly insane:

suddenly all these people care about Al? lol didn’t he have nobody in his life and that’s why he ended up with kerry in the first place?! don’t get me started on chas…

cain defo did not kill him. there’s gotta be a flashback - either someone else was there - aaron? one of the kids? liam (complete wildcard but there was that whole scene they had about using guns so maybe cain was genuinely trying to clear up the mess)? or al shot himself or tried to shoot cain but he managed to avoid the shot somehow?

moira and cain kissed for the first time in years and it was bc he was about to get handed a life sentence

kyle and isaac were in a scene with their parents at the same time

mack suddenly remembered he has a sister (and actually supported her unlike any of the dingles so far)

matty and amy actually got some screen time together

what is happening?!?

[sweetorangeginger]

We’ve endured three days of this half baked story. It’s time to show yourself now, Robert.🤡
