I liked seeing another side to Rosemary.
Hated seeing Scott. I hope the runt never comes back when he takes his 'holiday'

I know. Scott annoys me too as does Debbie. I noticed she was in yesterdays.

Rosemary took the rings off quick enough. My dad says she did it just because of that.

I think she did it because she felt there was nothing to symbolise marriage without her husband.

Could be. Or an inheritance.

Who knows, but her tears seemed real to me. I liked the end where it showed all the suspects.

Maybe she's crying over the money she wasn't getting. I really don't think she did it though.

I don't either.

I rarely buy it. I must have had it about 3 times in all these years.

Me neither. I gave up buying it nearly 3 years ago not long after it went weekly and they ruined it. I stick to All About Soap now and occasionally get Soaplife. None of the soap mags are as good as they used to be though, used to look forward to getting my fortnightly Inside Soap from the shop every other Tuesday.

So was Rosemary upset because Tom's dead or the boys still hate her?

Dunno, but my mother reckons Rosemary did the murder with Charles Vaughn

Interesting. Yes. We never thought of him. Since when did they become so pally? Where was he at the time of the murder?

Didn't notice them becoming such good friends.
Maybe there's more gambling next week.

They have ruined Grayson in my opinion. I have wrote a long complaint about him which I intend to post on Digital Spy when I register for a new account. I know the writers/producers read that board.

I caught some of last nights episode on ITV2 this lunchtime. I noticed Jack was suspicious of Grayson and Diane being friendly.
Why have they ruined Grayson, Yasmin? Post your complaint on here as well so those of us who dont read DS can see it!

I might offend you personally, Jez, because my rant is really how they have completely changed the character and turned him from a straight man to a gay man to further an already unrealistic storyline. You'd have to know that I wasn't against gay people, but more against the direction the writers were taking.

I dont mind, Yasmin. Although I am a gay man I wont take offence now you have told me what to expect!

Well done to the Emmerdale writers on ruining one of the finest new characters they have got, Grayson Sinclair, by turning him into Gayson Sinclair. I've seen some ridiculous character changes in my experience of watching soaps, but this one is quite something. It is almost like the idiots running the show actually saw a few posts on Digital Spy and ran with it, without thinking at all about how they represented the character when he first came into the show.
When the Sinclairs joined the show, they were, and in Rosemary and Perdy's case, very, very promising. Grayson was seen as a ladies man and as that is what the original character breakdown was for the character, we saw him make a few remarks about Sadie, towards Jo, and more subtly Louise, all while seeming to enjoy a very convincing phyisical relationship with the woman he was married to. Now I am no expert on gay men, but I am not sure they enjoy cosying up to women... hmm, I don't know where I could have come up with that theory. Then, as if by magic and almost overnight, he went out cruising and was beaten up, then started making eyes at men. It might wash with some of the gay viewers, who take advantage of a male-male love affair, because they happen so rarely, but to the more eagle eyed viewers, it is simply an unrealistic character and storyline direction, either to make Grayson more convincing as a suspect in the ludicrous Who Killed Tom King storyline, or to simply tarnish a typically straight character with the gay brush, (Jasmine and Debbie anyone?).
There was more potential for Grayson as a ladies man, especially considering the amount of slappers in the show. Louise, Jo, Kelly, Chas etc, but what is on offer for him as a gay character? Oh Paul... the most boring character in the show, played by the worst actor who couldn't even make a drag queen entertaining. Now I cannot take the character of Grayson seriously and it is a waste of the chemistry he has with Perdy to make him a gay man. Gay man don't find straight women a sexual turn on and they have hardly written this couple as prudish in the last year. Oh but they will now so we don't notice. If he was written as a character with an addicitive personality and that sex is just part of an addiction, I'd find it plasuable, but as of now, they've ruined him. They might as well just turn his mother and his wife into lesbians and have themselves a gay partay.
Memo to the Emmerdale writers. Some of your viewers tend to watch the show with their eyes open, maybe you should follow suit and stop changing characters to boost unrealistic storylines.

They did it with Todd in Corrie too, although he was never a great character.

Alex Carter is a very natural and better actor than half of the cast. Such a shame he's an arrogant git in real life.
Paul was a complete prat tonight. Putting myself in Perdy's shoes for a moment, it would have screamed more than it should have to me too. However the chemistry between her and Grayson is too good to lose. It ranks up there with Carl and Chas'.
Carl tonight was an irritating moose. Matthew and Jimmy in small doses tonight probably wasn't a good idea.
Kelly is simply a backgrop for other characters to respond to.
