I can't think of any standout performances for Mick in the past year. Shabnam, Denise and Stacey have been constantly on form and Martin and Kush have delivered some great moments too. I'd have picked Phil for the third male nominee.

I really wanted Steve McFadden to get a award nom for Phil...Playing an amazing realistic Drunk yet funny too :wub:

I agree, Steve delivers his best work when portraying the drunk Phil. That said, John Middleton who plays Ashley in Emmerdale wholeheartedly deserves best actor award this year for some fantastic performances.

Abby is going to batter Louise :o

If Kush was 2 hours late then what's everyone's problem? It wouldn't be acceptable in any other line of work.

It's a bit low of Sharon to hope Max's old house would go cheap since he's in prison, given she knows he didn't do anything! Still, I'm quite enjoying the Sharon/Ronnie (and Jack) friendship that's developing. In fact, I've noticed quite a few friendships forming - Kathy interacting with Shirley and Denise has been great. It just adds that little bit of heart to the show in amongst all the drama.

I was going to say that. How evil of Tamwar, who gets up everyday to do his job, how dare he scrutinise Kush for being 2 HOURS late. It's quarter of a work day FFS.

 

I'm interested to see where the Abi stuff goes. What will become of her once the truth comes out?

Exactly! Are we really meant to take pity on his character because he's having a "hard time" - a situation he put himself in as the result of sleeping with his wife's best friend?!

 

The spoilers for next week look exciting all round, but particular the Abi baby secret reveal. I never thought I'd be this invested in her character! :lol:

Babe rules all.

I think with Abi, she's just finally being given something to do after spending at least 7 years answering the door. Pairing her with Babe has also been genius.

Omg at that dig! :lol: "The gym? It practically runs itself these days!"

 

She should have responded with "and Denny practically looks after himself these days".

Ellen Thomas has tweeted that Claudette will have scenes with Peggy *.*

'he still loves lady gaga more than he loves you'

 

All I could think about was Toby :lol:

Haven't we seen Danielle dying?

Oh my! :o

 

This is definitely going to end up being something similar to the Ian/Cindy thing that happened a few years ago

That's what sprang to my mind.

 

It seems too obvious that it's Hannah even though they've purposely not mentioned her when considering who it could be. Either that or there's theories of it being Danny/Glenda.

I hope it's not Hannah. Danny and Glenda would be good, but I'm not sure why they would do it!

I think Hannah may have ordered the flowers but she could have done so on the authority of her creepy uncle. Glenda is of course a possibility since all we know of the caller is that she was female. I'd also include Roxy as an outside bet but then surely Paul would have recognised her voice?

 

Now I took a break from watching in 2013 when it became boring and didn't tune in again until Christmas that year, around the time of Carl White's death. Shouldn't Jack already know who Carl White is? Especially with his connections to the Branning family? I though Carl was in screen months before Jack left?

Jack left in september and Carl was killed the following January so he should know him.

Louise has ascended to God Tier along with Shirley Babe and Claudette*.*
