kat-kin my thoughts exactly...the daftness of it all has taken away the credibility of the most of the characters now. Sure, we all do things out of character from time to time but the script writers have made it all so silly now. I've given Emmerdale a miss now for about a month, after enjoying it for many years, and venturing back out of curiousity for one episode gave me no interest in watching it again.
