eli in emmerdale

[mata hati]

wasnt he stuffing money into his coat when he was holding up the betting office? If so why keep wyning to Marlon that he has no money?

[brissney]

It's true, he did take some for himself.

I hate what they've done to Eli's character and are they ever going to give Marlon a break!?

Hi there mata hati and brissney

I'm glad its not just me who has had a change of heart regarding Eli.

When first came into the prog he was somewhat of a 'loveable rogue' and despite his obvious lack of a personal hygiene his character was a bit of a charmer with an eye for the ladies, he was very funny to watch and I really warmed to him. Now I think he is just nasty (in all senses of the word) and there are more than enough baddies in Emmerdale as it is; Mathew, Rosemary, Eric and even David Pollard.... Why do we need yet another one?

[mata hati]

I agree, and do you think he is meant to be taking over where Cain left off. I feel Marlon is portrayed as a buffoon, and I can hardly bear to watch I feel so sorry for him!

Lol, I know what you mean about poor Marlon. He is such a lovely, sweet guy and not at all like his very dodgy relations. The trouble is though that there are times he is such a wimp that I just want to scream at him 'Grow a back bone for God's sake!' especially when it comes to Donna.
It would be nice to see him get a break at some point, his character deserves it.
