Emmerdale residents's attempt at comedy were at full swing tonight. Not that it's a particular good or bad thing, but it's certainly a thing. It's certainly nice to see Jimmy again for the time since Nicola's departure, wasn't it? I was glad to see him so much that I didn't even care if it was with Carly. I will even say it made her a little more tolerable. Saying that, the latest in the one note Carly's adventures will most likely cost her new found partner in crime so grief. Though the token nosy neighbor on the phone did had me in stitches for some odd reason. It was so ridiculous.
I'm not sure how the show can fix this Carly problem. It's too easy to say "get rid of her!" without having an attempt to integrate her into the show's canvas. Perhaps that's the problem. She's too individualized in her plot so far. Bob and "Wendy" are all just reactionary characters and have no real supporting status in Carly's quest for.. whatever it is she's in the quest for. Perhaps she'll be less boring if they really pit her with a character that will actually do something, because right now this storyling and re-introduction to Carly is falling really flat.
Talking about scheming, Emma is continuing her expansion in that web of lies and drama now that has engulfed Rhona. I hate that it will be Debbie who gets to save the day, well because it's Debbie Dingle. Will this reenactment of a Three's Company plot between James, Chas and Paddy actually result in anything lasting? I sure hope not. Because Chas and Paddy will always be good friends no matter what- even if Aaron is not in the picture. I guess it'll just take some drama into getting there.
Even Cain got in on the comedy tonight! Sort of.
Sam's idea of proving his loyalties to Rachel got him a punch in the face by Cain. It was actually quite hilarious seeing Cain not wanting to get in on the drama but did so anyway. Even I know Cain is way too good to get involved with this petty Sam and Rachel business. The Dingles are really messed up people.
I think Kerry might be my spirit animal on the show. To be her for one day and just watch all that go down. What must she think of the unnecessary drama her friend, the village idiot, is putting up?
The real drama tonight involved David and Alicia. I'm still glued to how this is unfolding. David getting arrested for covering for Jacob will tie Alicia's hands together as much as Lachlan has Chrissy's hands tied up. I hope for the show's sake that they don't flip Alicia or Chrissy's personalities for the sake of convenient storytelling. It will be interesting to see how Chrissy does react once her ex-husband comes back into the picture.
