The official PH Emmerdale thread

Looking increasingly likely that it's Gabby doing the spiking, as it's just been announced that Bernice will be returning to try and get Gabby "under control" based on the PR blurb. Obviously while she's back she'll evidently disrupt Liam & Leila's plans too.
The plotline involving Ethan, Manpreet & Meena is getting a bit weird now with Meena pretending to be Ethan's missing mum.

Even by Emmerdale standards (which make Corrie storylines look plausible), the Ethan/Manpreet/Meena one is ludicrous. The plotline involving Ethan, Manpreet & Meena is getting a bit weird now with Meena pretending to be Ethan's missing mum.
With so many characters temporarily ‘missing’ due to Covid I’d totally forgotten about drippy Liam - another wholly unconvincing character. I love the way Liam, Manpreet, Meena and Wendy never do any work; presumably all the Emmerdale, Hotton and Robblesfield folk are super fit and have no need for medical attention
. That said, virtually everyone’s job or business fails the credibility test. Cain’s garage, with no ramp or even a pit, keeps two or three employed. The pub and cafe have hardly any customers but stay open; even dopey Marlon’s still cheffing and Moira regularly brings in boxes of meat. Rhona, Paddy and Jamie are only treating the occasional gerbil or doing the odd farm visit. Kim Tate has vague ‘meetings’ whilst the outdoor activity centre has a full staff complement despite having no customers except for an occasional local enjoying a coffee/gossip. And David’s shop is essentially a drop-in centre with occasional retail sales, and customers all sporting expensive linen bags with David’s logo. Others seem to have no real means of income but continue to live in cute period cottages. It must be great being one of the script writers and competing with your colleagues to come up with the most ludicrous storylines.

I would have thought what ever was being used to spike the brandy/poison Kim would have shown up in her blood tests
I thought that too..Looks like Charity's luck has changed, selling her share in The Woolpack to the hapless Marlon just as the pub appears to have hit the skids.....!
With Meena texting Ethan and pretending to be his mum, it can't be too long before his-mum-for-real appears and blows this ridiculous storyline wide open...! Meanwhile it looks like Vinny has found his late father Paul's betting book and is planning to place bets himself to try and get back Sam and Lydia's money....!

This is so true, and as an aside i don’t think a single one of the male characters has any redeeming features, they are casted as a criminal, complete dim wit, very weak personality, soppy or similar. Liam, David, Marlon and Paddy are pathetic. With so many characters temporarily ‘missing’ due to Covid I’d totally forgotten about drippy Liam - another wholly unconvincing character.

Although it's possible they may go down that route too, i have a feeling that what's more likely to happen first is that he's about to discover details of the big win Paul had on the day he died. The same win that Faith found the stub for a week or so back and somehow managed to cash herself, in person, at the bookies, even though the winning betting stub was in Paul's name. Ah, another plot oversight that i guess we all need to overlook 
Edit - nope i was wrong - 24 hours later and Vinny has already managed to hit a winning streak purely after a quick study of Paul's magic form book

I'm not a gambler but anytime I've put a bet on in a bookies shop, they don't know it was me. In the unlikely event I won anything anyone can rock up with the betting slip and claim the winnings. Escort3500 said:

Oh i'm not so sure, you will have seen the ridiculous counselling scene in Corry last week?Even though you know full well they rely on 1/2 an inch of make up, there were still some shocking scenes with Mandy Dingle and chubby blonde (great tits) with baby having none on, if they weren't playing the same part you would have had problems recognising them.
Well ok, maybe not Mandy

Agreed! And the whole swinging chat thing with David in the shop... and shocking Meena in the process... as if!Liam borrowing a ring off David that was Leila's, so he can take it to the jewellers to get his wedding ring for Leila..
The ex's are never far away in Emmerdale...!
Another scriptwriter / continuity error the other night.
Kim asks Gabby to find her Jag and drive it back to the house. Now, last i remember Gabby was bugging Laurel for lessons some time ago when she turned 17, but nothing ever came of that, yet all of a sudden she's evidently passed her test at some point

What? The law-abiding Kim Tate worrying about such a tiny detail as a driving licence! Remember she is out-of-it most of the time too! Kim asks Gabby to find her Jag and drive it back to the house.
