Billy

[SharonHarvey2]

I like this bloke, and I think it is going to make for good viewing his moving in with Edna.

[normacondren]

I like too,what a lovely voice he has got,Im sure we will enjoy him moving in with Edna.Looks like Eli will spoil it for Billy though.

[valda]

I like him too I hope he gets his family back Daz and Randy (oop,s sorry I mean Andy ) soon he and Edna will be good together I like him moveing in with her . Eli trys to spoil it for everyone but I don,t think he will succeed with Billy though.

[jessi]

I like Billy. He seems to have truly changed and it a great addition to the soap.

[CG Wendy]

Count me as another fan of Billy. I didn`t know him when he was nasty.
I can`t get over the similarity in looks between him and Andy. Some great casting there.

[sootycat]

I am a big Billy fan as well. ( I like watching him and Edna. They have some good scenes together.)

I think the Emmerdale writers have done a great job with his character, they could so easily have gone the other way and had him return as vicious and revengeful.

Having him turn over a new leaf, and getting control over his temper makes him a far more rounded character.
I hope that Daz doesn't get adopted by Jack, as for Andy, I think Billy should accept they will never be close. Ending up being civil towards each other could be all Billy will get.

[SharonHarvey2]

I think he is absolutely great, I have written to him too tell him so as well! I will let you know of any success I have.

I do like this guy, though I have to say I feel naughty saying that, given his history of being a murderer!

However, I agree with you Sooty saying it is good that they have brought him back as a lovely character this time, as it makes for good viewing, though I think both Andy and Jack are both abng out of order of their treatment of him. I mean Jack should be happy he is a changed man and that he wants to put things right with Daz, I mean Jack is not a perfect father is he?

As for Andy, he recently called Billy a lying murdering scumbag - that's a bit like the kettle calling the pot black (Or the other way round!) isn't it? I mean he killed his Mum, then shot Jack and then ended up killing Max, AND cheated on Katie with Jo.

I also like this 'relationship' he is getting up with Eli - though I thought that may not actually get off the ground after the trick with the truck brakes and nicking off of Edna, but I look forward to scenes with him with them both.

Yep, I love his voice too - infact I think he is quite handsome!

So is Daz actually still there? I've seen bits of episodes latetly (not watching really anymore and haven't for a goof 3 months)

I saw the house collape but not the Kings murder trial (Though i heard froma collegue at work about it). I can't remember the very last thing i saw, never saw Sadie leave so it was before that. Lots of stange people there now (Lochy of HAA/Sam Kratz of neighbours), some fugly caucasian teen..

[valda]

I think Daz is still there but I haven't seen him lately. Rosemary and Grayson tend to hog Emmerdale a lot .

[CG Wendy]

I`ve got weeks and weeks of Emmerdale to catch up on. I may as well just read the updates rather than watch 5 weeks worth of episodes.
I`m glad Daz is still there....I like him.

[RitaLittlewood]

Yeah don't bother, CG. I had a hell of a time catching up when I got back from Australia last year. It happened a lot when I'd go away so in the end just gave up. If I missed it, I missed it. 6 eps is taking the piss. Frazer Hines was right when he said (at the time it was 5 a week) people don't want 10 to watch when they get back from a fortnight away.

Patsy

No I have to agree with you there Patsy, I was away when they buried Max King and I taped it, I still have not watched it, and I believe it was also the timethat Jarvis left?

I also taped a week when I recently went away when Lexi joined and it was only because I was ill recently that I watched it in bed. It is too much to catch up on.

[RitaLittlewood]

Frazer Hines was right when he said several years ago (at the time when it was 5 a week) people don't want to tape that many when they're away. I wish ITV would reduce them. Can't see it ever happening though.

Hope you're feeling better now.

Patsy

Mmm, I can see why now, I mean even IF you did manage to tape the episodes, there is always the snag, that they could run late, or something, and then like I say it is making the time to watch them. The only way I do do it, is if there is a certain storyline I don't want to miss then I watch those bits and miss the rest.

I am so so thanks for asking . That ill health was a nasty migraine

[RitaLittlewood]

Yes. I have ended up missing so many eps because of trying to catch up. The crunch came really when I got back from Australia and I was constantly getting behind. I tried a few more times last year but even a few days away I'd get behind so I stopped bothering. Now I don't even watch.

Oh how awful. I've had them only a couple of times and they can be nasty. Glad you're feeling better now.

Patsy

Yeah, I can understand that completely, I think that is the best thing to do just give up.

Yep, migraines are pretty awful when you get them. I must be doing something right, as I have not had one for quite a while now!

[RitaLittlewood]

Glad to hear it. Let's hope you never have another.

Ha LOL! At the risk of sounding like a 'Half empty glass' person, I don't think I will be that ;ucky unfortunately.

But thanks anyway for the gesture

[sootycat]

According to Sharon Marshall, Billy will be back for a Christmas storyline.

[CG Wendy]

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy X 100

Is he just typing up loose ends with his character or is he back for good?

[RitaLittlewood]

I take it this is good news, CG.

Maybe he's going to give Jack a new shirt for Christmas.

No, just to bring some pressents for the lads, and to put the final nail in Jack and Diane's marriage unfortunately.
