Before moving on to the main event, let's talk about the side stories.
I finally realize who Joe Gill reminds me of. Jemaine Clement from 'Flight of the Conchords'. The look and the comedic timing, it's been bugging me for ages and finally came to me when Finn asked Val why she took so long before answering if he can be annoying. (By the way, the answer is yes. I like you, but I can't never date you). Now that the story with Darren has mercifully concluded, will we get a mopey Finn again? Because that will get old.
I have no real opinion about Alicia and David and their struggle to reconnected after the Lachlan incident. It just seems like a progression Alicia has to deal with and we're just watching with no real drama. It's not negative per se, in fact I do think this story beat is necessary before the show full on ignores it, but I was hoping it wasn't turned into a joke involving Leyla to get to this point. That scene between Alicia and Chrissy outside? Brilliant. Two hurt women dealing with other issues in their lives while not forgetting the past. This is the kind of thing Emmerdale can do so well. First between Lawrence and Edna yesterday and this today. Keep it up.
Now. Let's get down to it. This is the most attracted I've seen Robert has been to Chrissy since their arrival. He is actually both impressed and scared witnessing Chrissy's phone call to Mafia Don. It obviously serves a warning to what's to come when all his own secret comes out, but for now, you can see he was a little turned on by the whole thing- even if it involves Ross.
Ross dragging Debbie into this mess is an added bonus. I'm not against the show revisiting a possible Ross/Debbie romance, but in expense of Pete is pretty shameful. Also, didn't this come out of nowhere from Ross? Very little organic storytelling is there for plot driven stories to begin with, but this sudden confession of love from Ross to Debbie about running away with him? Yeah, it's a bit nutter and "pervy". She's in your mother's dress!
This won't end well for Debbie... or Ross.... or the entire White family. Mafia Don knows where you live. He's seen Debbie around before and obviously knows where Chrissy lives- not that she cares. She'll willing to get him out of the picture with no expense. I'm just wondering how long before Ross lets Chrissy in on Robert's previous plan and explode even more drama into the mix. I'm even excited as to how Ross and Debbie plays out. One thing I'm not looking forward to? The mafia coming to town.
