EMMERDALE

Emmerdale has produced some hard
hitting story lines recently, displayed fine acting from its cast
and, in my opinion, a seriously underrated quality British Soap
against Coronation Street and Eastenders. Explosive scenes this week
as grieving Adam Barton set fire to the garage with enemy Cain Dingle
still inside it. The farmer boy later rescued his victim and Cain
reluctantly agreed not to tell the police about his involvement,
thanks to Aaron. However, this could prove worse for Adam who will
soon wish he left Cain to toast when the villainous mechanic decides
on how to punish him.
Troubled Zach Dingle is hard hitting
his pints and showing signs of disillusion. Has Megan hit the point
that he's showing signs of Alzeihmers or is the Dingle Head just
supping one pint too many?

Ill treatment of the elderly is a sore
subject and a current topic amongst Brits so vicar Ashley Thomas
stands out as the biggest villain in Emmerdale at the moment. His
bestiality towards his father and deviousness in covering up to
outsiders is a huge change in the normally placid vicars character.
Things are stepping up next week when Sandy is injured and social
services are called. Can the character of Ashley ever redeem itself
to viewers.
On the lighter side, Jimmy King used
reverse psychology against wife Nicola's sex ban. Oysters and
champagne worked but will he still have to go through with a
vasectomy? My fellow soap community also kindly informed me that
Jimmy has a well packed lunch box. I missed out on the view but will
be looking out in the near future.

Eastenders
Shirley was absolutely bang on the nail the beginning of this week
when she told freshly released Phil that his son Ben was “...wrong
in the head”. Psycho Ben bashed 'Poor Hev' with a photo frame
causing her death then cracked jokes about her whilst he, witness Jay
and cover up expert Phil dined with the Mitchell clan. Even now he
knows he killed Heather for his brother Ian's wrongdoing, he fails to
show any remorse. Even hard nut Phil seems appalled by his coldness
and adopted brother Jay is a nervous and ill looking wreck trying to
show Mitchell loyalty. His clothes that could implicate him to the
murder were sneakily hidden by Ben. Is the psycho teen hoping to
frame Jay? The viewers already know how jealous he is of the
closeness between Jay and his father.

Poor Andy, Heather's fiancé is the prime suspect with his history of
violent behaviour. His mother Rose didn't help by immediately
telling cops that he was with her around the time of the murder. The
poor guy isn't even able to grieve his bride-to-be whilst he defends
himself down the 'cop shop'. Most of the residents of Albert Square
will believe he's guilty as who else would want to murder simple
Heather? Best mate Shirley is a broken woman, especially as she and
Heather didn't get to make up from their row. Shirley's locked in
grief but she's not a stupid woman and her relationship with Phil
will be over should she discover the truth.

The most emotive impact of grief was shown by the brilliant June
Brown who plays Dot Cotton. She's lost so many people she's loved or
got close to that she believes herself to be a bad omen turning on
Fatboy and insisting he keep well away from her.
Next week sees Ben confiding in Roxy. Will he reveal all or will he
spin her lies with his wickedness?

The build up to the revealing of Franks killer, his mother Anne was
well played out. Busybody Sally worked it out after the funeral and
almost paid with her life as she fell and knocked herself
unconscious, not attacked by the killer as stated in the press. With
a son like Frank, no-one could really blame Anne for doing him in.
She's now safely behind bars and the residents can move on now
Sally's out of danger and she and Carla have resolved their
differences with Sally even being offered her job back. I still feel
Corrie should have made the killer be a major character to spice up
the soap.
Glad to see the school dinnergate storyline brought to closure with
little Max back in school. It was a little far fetched for me and
didn't bring the light relief as intended.

Things are hotting up between Karl and Sunita as the pair kissed this
week. She walked away apologising but with her marriage to Dev in
tatters and Karl not putting up much resistance, this is definitely
going to go further and it will all end in tears.
STORYLINE SPOILER: As if Tyrone Dobbs hasn't suffered enough, his
bad luck will soon take a further knock when he becomes a victim of
domestic abuse at the hands of wacky girlfriend Kirsty.

Not a good week for Mercedes McQueen as she found out ex fiancé
Riley and her family were planning Bobby's christening behind her
back. Her and Riley made amends and the tart without a heart finally
displayed emotion towards her son but soon lost interest when she
discovered Riley and his cousin Mitzeee snogging each other.
Poor Riley is in a mixture of emotions torn between his love for his
cousin and the torch he still carries for Mercedes and the hurt of
her sleeping with his father Carl. Next week another brunette minx
is thrown into the mix as he and nurse Lynsey become closer.

| Homeless hard headed Phoebe |
If you're going to mess with a McQueen, Jackie is the worst pick of
the bunch as ungrateful Phoebe will find out when Jackie gets her
hands on the homeless teen. Phoebe exploited Jackie's kindness when
she allowed her to stay the night by robbing her flat and her beloved
dog Terry. No sign of her former homeless companion, George but away
from screen viewers know he is catching up with his family who
believed the runaway was dead. He returns next week with big news
for his friends. Is he going to leave them behind to be with his
family?
