BJB stop being so sensible. I think she's just annoying.
I don't watch emmerdale (or any soaps) willingly, but the various ladyfolk in my life force me into it.
So here's my idea for future storylines for the show:
A plane could crash on the villiage killing loads of people
A truck could crash inot the pub whilst there's a party going on
or (my favourite)
Al Qaeda could unleash a viral terrorist attack on the villiage infecting everyone with a '28 Days Later' type illness. The few survivors (the fat vet dude, the skinny chef, Zac Dingle, and all the attractive women except the screamy girl) take refuge in the Dingle house where they fight off the hoards of the undead. Maisy is trapped in the cafe where she is eaten by the reanimated corpse of her dad.
Now that would get ratings!!
