Emmerdale Farm

The storyline involving Alex, him being knocked down by Billie, on a massively clear road but Billie didn't see him Alex stopping in the middle of said road to have a conversation, all following a tussle in the heart of the village with Alex's name being bellowed out but no one, not a single person around!!! I not only find this to be so unrealistic I also feel your taking your viewers to be completely stupid. Constantly have to embellish events to the point of lunacy. Really annoying and extremely frustrating, why can you not just run a straight forward storyline Alex gets caught but gets away, makes his way back to the car and escaped, police chase crash anything other than this rediculous turn of events, nothing ever just goes well for anyone at any time why can't you have just a normal storyline depicting how everyone is coping with the cost of living, yes you've touched on it with the Dingles, but they are a family that have always struggled just for a little while can storylines play out without stupid unrealistic twists, what a breath of fresh air that would be.

Having just seen it after probably over 10 years gap, I can only but echo the comments by another poster sleepin dragon.

It now appears to look like a hollyoaks episode, with a range of overmade up women, many with hilariously swollen lips. Rather than being in emmerdale, it just focuses on the minutiae of people's relationships, with no actual storyline.

The scenes remind me oddly of a low budget version of Acorralada.

Made in the largest studios of Britain, Emmerdale is a soap combining the daily lives of colourful characters of all varieties. Now called Emmerdale, the soap has shed its image of a boring drama set on a farm in the Yorkshire Dales. From the vindictive and orally vicious Viv in the shop to the friendly and funny Bernice in the Woolpack, Emmerdale's bar, you'll become addicted and transfixed on the superb acting and memorable storylines.

As of 2022 this show is no longer watchable, it used to be essential viewing, the soap that managed to feel very different to EastEnders and Corrie, in recent times though it's started to make Hollyoaks look subtle. The storylines have gone beyond belief, and the characters are now almost comic book like, grotesque caricatures.

RIP Emmerdale, ten, to fifteen years ago, it was excellent, now though, it's one to skip. Only Corrie is now worth watching.

Emmerdale is a great soap i think. It all started in 1972, the gave it a name at first as they called it Emmerdale Farm, then suddenly they changed it to Emmerdale. I give Emmerdale 10 out of 10 because i just think that it is such a great soap.
