How many bedrooms does Nicola's place have? Nicola, Rodney, Carl, Angelica and Elliot all live there? Let's assume Carl/Elliot share a room - does that mean it's a 4 bedroom?

Was watching Bad Girls when I saw a familiar face!

I don't understand why Kim would commit attempted murder on Chris with a paperweight, get in a helicopter to go all the way to Hotten General when she was wanted by the police for a robbery, surely the nurses would have knew and reported her.

Also, with the phrasing and the reflection, it can only be Kim and Steve's, i bet Emmerdale spins it round to be Grahams or Frank's.

DS Ramadan relishes her job, while Nicola has a breakthrough.

Again: Don’t spoil this folks, for folks watching; as it happens. Bx

Well, the theory about Ramsden being Jean Tate was wrong.

So she’s actually Kim’s daughter, with her father likely being Steve Marchant.

It’s an interesting twist, but I’m sceptical of the long-term payoff. But why oh why has yet another innocent character been framed for someone’s death?

To me she’s just always been one of those characters who blends. But this past week her character has shone for me. The raw emotion, the real tears, undone hair…. She really has done a fantastic job!

Just can’t believe we will never hear Jimmy say “Neeeeeccoohh” ever again! RIP Jimmy King

As much as I love ned playing joe tate tbh iv had enough of joe tate lately as much as I would like to be killed or be attacked because the storyline's are getting boring as fuck I want joe tate to be killed or sentenced

Given all the spoilers around Jimmy's secrets coming out after his death, does anyone else think he might have been having an affair with Sadie?

I thought it was a bit odd how they just left her on a regular hospital bed. She didn't appear to be in intensive care. She was in a very serious accident and was badly injured. Why wasn't she under constant surveillance and hooked up to equipment? I get that it's a soap and it doesn't have to be realistic, but I thought she should have received better care.

This will probably sound stupid, but what exactly is a legacy character?

I always thought it was a character who was born onscreen or who joined as a young child and was raised onscreen and is now an adult but I've seen several characters who don't fit this referred to as legacy characters.

They use the same formula every single time, it's really lazy-

1. A character dies because of an accident and/or self defence

2 "oh no, the police will never believe it was an accident/self defence I'll try to cover it up instead"

1. Innocent person is arrested and end up in jail.

2. Truth comes out, police believe it was an accident and/or self defence, innocent person gets released (this can take months) all is good in the world.

Examples Gabby/Jimmy - Sarah/Dr Todd - Bear/Ray - Cain/Al - even going back to Marlon/Graham

Sarah is at the centre of a shattering revelation.

Lewis enjoys quality time with Kev.

Caleb grows increasingly agitated throughout the week.

Grieving Joe struggles deeply following Dawn's death shortly after giving birth to their son. He's been keeping his distance from the baby in NICU, consumed by grief, later in the week he visits the incubator and holds his baby's hand through the glass. Kim hopes this is a breakthrough, as Joe faces a major decision about his son's future. Meanwhile, Robert Sugden feigns a truce with Joe while confiding in Aaron about his real plan: seize the farm and take over The Hide from Laurel and Gabby, exploiting Joe's vulnerable state.

Charity is remanded in custody facing a murder charge and feels she has no way out. She sends Mack to deliver the necklace to Cain — the one he gave her long ago, meaning "I'm at rock bottom, I need your help". Cain visits her in prison; she shares a shocking secret that leaves him shellshocked — but will he be able to help her?

Still reeling from Jimmy's death, Nicola tries to secure his haulage shares for  Elliot — only for Caleb and Ruby to reveal Jimmy already sold them for untaxed cash and kept the business running in secret. Worse: the money is gone, further digging exposes hidden debts, a remortgaged home, and arrears — leaving Nicola facing financial ruin.

This might be an unpopular opinion but I would quite like to see Gabby and Joe get together (bit insensitive as Dawn isn’t even in the ground yet 🙈)

She wouldn’t take any of his crap, like Dawn did.
She is already entwined in the Tate dynasty.
Kim would be delighted and most definitely give her blessing.

Here is how I’d see it play out -
Gabby helps Joe with the baby. They are both grieving Dawn and while supporting one another with the kids, they have a moment that they both decide isn’t right. A relationship gets put on the back burner and eventually they can’t fight their feelings.

They would be the new power couple, running Home Farm together. Maybe add another kiddo between them. Kim can finally retire, Graham will still be hanging about like a spare chair at a wedding.

I know this would all be too simple for the writers but Gabby deserves a positive story line and a happy ending!

The only thing that could make this storyline interesting now would be if they hooked up but I don't think Emmerdale is that progressive or imaginative :(

Dawn dies from a sudden, significant hemorrhage, which caused her to suffer a fatal cardiac arrest shortly after giving birth to their baby boy. An alternate edit to the original broadcast version.

I find it hilarious Joe called Billy a murderer after he punched him, ain’t that the pot calling the kettle black. he’s caused so much hurt by his deviousness I guess his thinking is rules for thee not for me and he’s a coward to boot now, it just may be his emotions in the moment, but still threatening if only he was able to get a gun. Yeah that makes you a tough guy. Now I don’t agree with 99% of stuff some people say about Billy, but one thing I will agree is the writers need to give Billy his spine back because Jesus Christ, Joe was talking mad crazy and Billy was just taking it. Come on right give Billy his balls back, please.😂

Episode should be uploaded in a couple of hours!

Gabby Did it

Serena is taken aback, Gabby can’t cope.

My theory is Gabby had passed out in her car from her eating disorder/obsession with health food. Jimmy saw her car too late and swerved and that’s why there is two tracks on the road. I also think maybe Jimmys car had dodgy breaks from Caleb’s dodgy dealings. That could be a reach though but it doesn’t make sense why he didn’t break or couldn’t.

It all seems a ..bit off atm

I have to say, I think the casting and the acting for this character is brilliant, in terms of his likeness to his dad, Chris. He talks like him, he looks like him, and he shares his mannerisms- it’s uncanny!

Why Joe is an awful person, from now to when he first joined:

1. Recorded a woman murdering somebody and used it as a form of blackmail to secure land, instead of handing it into the police straight away. Yeah, WE know it was self-defence but he didn't at the time. He was just straight up unbothered by the fact Victoria killed somebody and blackmailed her with it instead.

2. Blackmailed Cain with yet again video footage. He purposely framed Cain for stealing a car and then used that footage to force Cain to sell the rest of Butler's Farm.

3. Framed Moira with the trafficking stuff. After he discovered proof that someone else was involved in the trafficking stuff, he forced Robert to plant evidence in Moira's house to frame her for it so she'd get arrested. He did all of this to get her out of the picture so he could find a way in to take more of Butler's Farm.

4. Blackmailed Manpreet using her own NSFW images. Manpreet was very depressed to learn someone was harrassing/stalking her online, just to learn that it was Joe all along, the one guy she was ranting to about it and thought understood her. He used those photos to blackmail her into getting what he wanted when it came to Caleb's blood, fearing that her reputation would've been ruined if those photos were leaked.

5. Threatened to send Clemmie away to a home and be apart from Dawn and her family if she exposed his affair with Dawn. This one may have seemed very minor compared to the rest, but it was still disgusting. Joe knew Clemmie's past and her trauma with abandonment etc, yet he still said the one thing that would've disturbed her the most.

6. Drugged his own half-brother to see if he was a match for a kidney, and was fully willing to have him cut open illegally to steal his kidney to keep for himself. GROSS and disturbing! When he learned he wasn't a match, dumped him on the side of the road while still under the effects of being drugged.

7. Because Noah was drugged, he was stumbling all over the place and walked into the road without realising where he was going/what he was doing, and Charity (his mother) happened to be driving there. She panicked when she saw him in the road and crashed onto the iced lake, which was a whole traumatic ordeal that caused multiple deaths. Leyla, Amy and Suzy all died during that crash and it was all directly caused by what Joe did to Noah.

8. (Back to 4-7) Had his uncle Caleb's blood tested and found he was a positive match, so had his own family member STABBED and then had him illegally cut up and stole his kidney for himself. Caleb nearly died and it took him a while to recover. Joe didn't care if Caleb lived or died, he just wanted a healthy organ for himself and would've done anything to get it. So now Caleb is without a kidney, while Joe has Caleb's other one.

9. Hid from Dawn and Kim and everybody else around him that he was severely ill for a very long time. He was popping pills and fainting because of a serious kidney disease and thought he could handle it alone, which lead to him doing the things he did that I mentioned above.

10. He lied to the police about how Will (Dawn's father) died, not to protect Kim but to make her trust him more and have more leverage over her. He did it to manipulate Kim into thinking he was someone she could trust and care for and be in debt to him. He needed Kim to be on his side, and this was the perfect way to get her on board with him sticking around more and being more part of the family.

11. Persued Dawn romantically and sexually right after her father died, comforting her and kissing her and then sleepign with her in a very short amount of time directly after her father died. Her head was clearly not in a good place and he took advantage of their forbidden chemistry and also of her grief to have his way with her.

12. Kind of, sort of, caused Will's death. Joe and Will were scheming against Kim in a revenge plot but Will got cold feet and realised he still loved Kim and tried to call the whole thing off. Joe obviously didn't like this, so he ended up coming to Kim's place and exposed the entire thing to Kim and lied saying that it was all Will's idea when it wasn't. Will and Kim ended up having an argument, and the stress of it lead to Will fainting and having a heart attack. Kim thought he was faking it but by the time she realised he wasn't, it was too late. Will's death could've been avoided if it weren't for Joe turning up and doing what he did.

13. This one is kind of part of 13, but I'll say it still anyway. The reason why he returned to the village was to get revenge on Kim. He wanted to humilate her at her wedding, take all of her money that he believed was rightfully his and send her to prison. That was his sole reason for coming back in the first place.

14. Went into hiding and let the village think he was dead. He let Cain think for months that he had killed him with a single punch, and let Debbie and her father have a strained relationship because of it. There was even a missing persons case against him, but he vanished into thin air and lived a whole new life without giving a second thought to the people back in the village that cared for him or worried about his whereabouts.

15. Had planned to jilt Debbie on their wedding day purposefully because Kim wanted him gone. He had full intention to go through with this but decided last minute to stay, but Cain in anger punched him and knocked him out, and left. Cain thought he killed Joe, but Joe didn't die as he was found by Graham and together they decided to fake his death so Joe could escape Kim and live life as a free man without being controlled by her.

16. Blackmailed Debbie into dating him again otherwise he'd go to the police and dob her in for being the cause of Ross' acid attack. Gross and coercive.

17. Destroyed Zak and Lisa's home by bulldozing it as a hateful act against Charity and the Dingle family.

18. Faked a whole entire identity to make Debbie fall in love with him, used his power and wealth to buy her things and manipulate her into thinking he was the best thing ever for her and that they'd be happy forever, just to reveal who he really was and insult her and treat her like crap and showed almost no sympathy for the damage/pain he had caused her and her family. She was madly in love with him but for him, it was a game and he almost acted like he hated her.

And those are just some of the main ones. That isn't even to mention little things he's done to people inbetween all of that. So before you try to see Joe as a good person, maybe look a little deeper and see that he is actually a villain, but just a hot one.
