“Depressing”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Barb1649 on 09/03/2024

The most depressing it ever has been, lesbians kissing all the time plus the gays, shooting Stabbings and the awful person ruby, one over the top actress, embarrassing to watch.

“Doom and gloom”

★★☆☆☆

written by Flissy88 on 23/02/2024

I have watched Emmerdale for many years since I was a child and it was called Emmerdale farm.. I also stopped watching EastEnders several years ago as it was nothing but Doom and gloom and now Emmerdale is going the same way. The recent storylines have been nothing but sadness and tears and with mack being stabbed tonight Rhona losing Leo in a ridiculous sad plot and it's obvious that Belle's marriage is going to be a controlling mess. I really cannot put up with more sadness, I no longer look forward to watching.

The whole show needs a complete re-vamp,unfortunately this would mean the majority of the cast would have to go,we all know this won't happen,so perhaps it will need to be done gradually,first to go will be Caleb,Marlon and several other Dingles.It has to be done,if not then this soap will vanish.If i were asked to give it a rating i would give it a zero,that's how bad it is.

i think the writers have covered all the bases they can as regards turning the show into a moral crusade,there are some issues they dare not touch ,if they do it wil mean viewind he show after nine o'clock in the evening. The writers have become so obsessed with pushing their agender that it's meant other members of the cast don't get seen for weeks. It's time to stop all the preaching and return to the Emmerdale the viewers want. At the moment it's getting more like a documentary than a soap.

“Rhonas acting getting worse”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 11/02/2024

The story of rhona and the baby is ridiculous as is her behaviour.She has 2 children which she is prepared to leave for a baby a few weeks old!!What makes it worse is her awful overacting and facial expressions as well as the fact that she is being indulged by family members.Please stop this storyline and return the baby to Gus

I think rhona has been taking lessons from Marlon when it comes to pulling silly faces, and over acting ,he's been doing it for years.

“New characters”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Kimbo1976 on 01/02/2024

I love emmerdale as I’ve been watching since I was a child and now I’m 48. I have to say two recent castings are making me want to give up, shockingly poor acting, almost unbearable to watch! If it wasn’t for the regulars I would give up on thus soap!

Written on: 15/02/2024

Emmerdale voted top Soap,shows how bad the others must be. Emmerdale is now just a title,it bares no resemblance to a Dales farming community,it's become a platform for p.c and Woke agenders and preaches instead of entertains. The writers should get real ,if i want city type violence i'll watch Eastenders.

“Missed opportunity ”

★★☆☆☆

written by Coollil on 31/01/2024

The story line with Chastity is good but you have missed a massive opportunity to show women how to examine their breasts correctly. When she was in the DR you could have shown exactly how they would be examined even if Lucy was too shy to get them out with camera angles you could have used a substitute

Written on: 03/02/2024

Chastity's carrying on as if her life's over,way over the top. Women i'v known with this problem have never reacted like she has. i believe the writers have put many women off getting tested by giving the impression that if something's found then there's no hope and that's wrong,this is one crusade too far,it's time they got back to decent storys and stopped preaching.

“Half hours of misery”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 358Ogle on 23/01/2024

I'm really struggling to understand the storywriter develop such miserable plotlines - lets have a quick review, McKenzie got kidnapped and beaten, Charity killed a man, both pf them are having breakdowns, a car crash in which Heath got killed, Cathy estranged from her dad, Angel was driving (apparently we are still waiting for forensics) Tracey is having an affair, Chas had a fling with Liam, (which could have been a good fun story) but no, they found a lump, and of course it has to be cancer. Marlon and Rhona bond with the baby who is now going to be taken away, the whole Lydia story, all the acrimony with Jai's family, it's just pure misery and not at all entertaining, we actually stopped watching Eastenders cos it was depressing, but it's never been as bad as Emmerdale currently is

The Caleb/Tracy affair is taking up too much time,it's also mind bendingly BORING,add this to the other dross and it's not worth watching,there's hardly a character without issues,Emmerdale would be a gold mine for a shrink.

Emmerdale has changed now because there was a change in script writers. Eastenders writers now write for Emmerdale and the Previous Emmerdale writers now write for Coronation Street .

Such violence and sexual talk should not be on at 7pm. What happend to the watershed?

We stopped watching Eastenders long long ago because it was so depressing, now the same can be said of Emmerdale, there are no feel good, humorous or light stories, it's just one long half hour, or last night hour of depression, we watched last nights and at the end we both decided to take a break as its just awful

“Dingle mania”

★★★☆☆

written by McGarryir492 on 19/01/2024

How many more Dingle characters are they going to drag up. Had enough of most of this lazy, good for nothing family especially Chas, Sam, Lydia, Moira, Belle, Sarah and Samson mostly because they do whatever they want and never get their comeuppance and the above named acting leaves so much to be desired. A few of the Dingles are fine e.g. Marlon, Rhona and Mandy, Another thing - what would a decent man like Liam see in a trollop like Chas??? Unbelievable!!! Instead of adding even more Dingles concentrate on getting rid of Chas, Sam, Lydia, Moira, Belle, Sarah and Samson -they really drag the soap down. On a positive note the majority of the characters are brilliant and can definitely act e.g. Kim, Liam, Brenda, Eric, Paddy, Nicola, Leila, April and Billy.

Marlon...a fine Dingle! he would be the first to go,we've had to put up with his silly faces and over acting for yeare,it's time to go. I do agree about the Dingles,they get far too much of the story,it's time to thin them out.

“Fed up with depressing storylines”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Seagull2148 on 12/01/2024

Yet another cancer storyline in Emmerdale coming up. I can recall at least 3 other cancer storylines so surely we have covered this now. I understand certain issues should be raised in storyline but wby is Emmerdale so depressing these days. We have had Faith's death from breast cancer, Brenda's cancer,David's cancer and now Chas and that is all I can remember. Cathy's diagnosis, Pollard's Parkinsons, and Heath's premature death. For goodness sake!!!! We have more than enough sadness and trauma in daily life at the moment without these depressing storylines. I will no longer be watching Emmerdale after years of loyal viewing. Enough iz enough.

“Car crash”

★★★★☆

written by Peejay41 on 05/01/2024

Re car crash. If local detectives are sharp they will get blood analysed...steering wheel and drivers side seat. Forensics will show who was driving as car crashed. Simples! But from past experience local police won't think about it...or the script writers?!! Great fan Peter. Orpington

“Plain awful ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by AtticusJones145 on 01/01/2024

I have watched Emmerdale for several years, and I believed it to be one of the best soaps on Television. However, for the last few months is has become increasingly gloomier with each episode, and the New Years Day episode was heartbreakingly sad. Whilst I recognise it is a drama, with what is going on in the world today, and the hardships faced by a lot of people, I thought is was cheap writing and unnecessary. The writers have removed any type of light heartedness that was always a part of Emmerdale. I used to think that soap writers were some of the best, but not anymore, in a soap drama they should also be joy, something the writers of Emmerdale I believe have failed at monumentally. Perhaps they are trying to keep up with the sad and gloomy storylines of other British Soaps, if that is the case then they have achieved their aim. I don’t expect the storylines will change much, therefore, I am afraid I will no longer watch Emmerdale, and I do not believe I am alone in my decision.

I tend to agree. We once loved the wonderful, funny banter between Paddy and Marlon, please writers, bring that back. Give us something to make us laugh and add some light and joy to the dismal story lines that are current. Good, earthy, BRITISH humour is always acceptable. Oh and please stop bowing down to all the PC you are drenched with! Leave that to the unbelievable local coppers! Hey, writers...have a nice day...try and enjoy life!

“Poor Rishi”

★★☆☆☆

written by Lather on 30/12/2023

Can’t believe they got rid of Rishi character and replaced him with a wooden one. Just not liking the storylines at the moment. Lydia storyline so unreal and boring. Mackenzie storyline unrealistic. Too many gays in one village .white shaming . Caleb (love the character and actor) but all the trouble he went to, to get the trust of his family now he’s coverting with his nephews wife ????‍♀️Marlon overrated,Mandy realistic. Victoria and Jacob stupid. Although I like Dawn and Billy thought she murdered that copper ,must be saving that for a rainy day. ????Brilliant actor who plays Sam Dingle should of won an award ????

I lost any sympathy i had for Mack a long time ago. He needs to grow up,he deserves every thing coming his way,he's acted like a love sick schoolboy ,messing with two women and having no regard of their feelings.The less said about the kidnap and shooting the better,a complete farce.You can say the same about the other plots,utter rubbish,no wonder people are turning off.

“Gone on too long”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Migmagmoo on 10/12/2023

I love Emmerdale but it's getting ruined recently. The storyline about Lydia's emotions post Craig's death has gone on too long ..it's getting very tedious.. we don't need to hear it anymore

The storylines in all of the Soaps are too long,many are total nonsense, i blame the writers ,i think they lack immagination and keep a story going until they can think of some thing else ,then they drag that out.The Lydia plot,plus the other boring storys could be the end of Emmerdale,it's now become a joke and it's no wonder people are switching it off.

“The story lines for most of the characters are...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Namouli on 08/12/2023

The story lines for most of the characters are becoming insane ie., Nutty Lydia, brain transplant Kim, Tracey etc., etc., etc. ,get some storylines that are believable . Mandy Dingle is the only actor worth watching, larger than life but true to her character. Have watched for more years than I care to remember but have come to the end of the line with these absurd episodes of Emmerdale .Time is too precious to waste on such tripe. BYE

“What is this new scriptwriter thinking????”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Harding470 on 08/12/2023

What planet is this new scriptwriter on? Since she has taken over the storylines have been diabolical! Emmerdale used to be good but its really gone downhill. The plots are a joke! You cant blame the actors,they're just acting out what she has written for them. Please get rid of her and get someone who actually knows what they are doing before everyone abandons this soap.

I don’t think it matters where they confess, a vicar can’t be compelled to testify as I understand it. What is said to him/her is in confidence and shouldn’t be divulged. He’d be breaking his oath. I may be wrong but this is how I see it
