Are the classic Emmerdale episodes also posted at 7am uk time on the day they air? I am not in the uk and would like to watch Aaronās story.
No, the Classic episodes air on ITV3 in the afternoons. ITVx then posts them after the episodes air on their site which is restricted to the UK (they are also blocking vpn access to the site as of a few months ago). There are YT channels that post the episodes (and have all the episodes since they started airing on ITV3) which may be available same day or a few days later with global access so you will still be able to watch.
Iām sadly holding back any excitement about this announcement as itās coming from the same producers as the John Sugden cementing the Sugdens back in the village and tapping into the rich Sugden history announcement. Which was completely the opposite
Iām reserving judgment on this Serena character especially after the disaster that was J. We have zero idea how sheās connected in the family tree (highly doubt it has to do with the forgotten Merrick branch but Uncle Joeās daughter maybe), if sheās actually sane (sorry, but after J) and if she is gonna be a friend (please) or foe when it comes to Robert. I know itās a concept at this point but I need her connection to the Sugdens to make sense, history wise.
Guess they need to get Vinny out of the way first before they get to the amusing stuff, maybe?
And kill Nicolaās husband.
So funny man can āsupportā her at her at the time of her loss when thereās her friend Laurel and other villagers for that. Guess theyāll take the funny for that time as well.
Laura just had a boner for Chris. Just like she obviously does for the guy who plays Graham too. That's the only explanation I can think of honestly - she just loves pandering to the old white dudes.
*stifled laugh*
I mean, I wasnāt gonna say it.
She has a type of character apparently she goes for and put them out thereā¦ a monotone butler and a so-called funny bloke š¤·āāļø.

Duncan doing the math and mentioning Robert's journey this year. Serena looks like someone ready to help at the farm. Will Robert finally get another Sugden to help feed those cows ?? š
When you have the abused victim actually state heās depressed and has night terrors as well as revealing how unsafe he was in the prison environment
They also showed him with bruises on his face then the actual beating he got when he was in prison. He was curled up in a fetal position on the ground and was sobbing. How is that funny?!!!!
The prison episode was meant to be serious for the most part barring a scene or two which I prefer to ignore him completely.
It's very clear that all the Kev stuff was poorly planned from the start. They needed something to fill the time between the gorge and corriedale and it was like someone in the writers room was randomly like, "Oh I know! Prison husband!" but then there were too many cooks in the kitchen about how that would actually appear. So they just threw it all into a blender with sometimes serious stuff sometimes funny stuff and we ended up with what we got.
It's so obvious by how Kev just quickly disappeared right before corriedale that he was a last minute addition to that plot.
Just boggles my mind why they didn't use that time to build Robron's relationship up again organically. And they didn't need a third party. They had plenty to work with with both Aaron's trauma from John and Robert's trauma from prison to keep it an entertaining and beautiful story. And why they decided not to do that will always make no sense to me.
Laura just had a boner for Chris. Just like she obviously does for the guy who plays Graham too. That's the only explanation I can think of honestly - she just loves pandering to the old white dudes.
For me, the entire K plot is no different to what they did in hell yearā¦ the yuckfest that was Robert and Larryā¦ fillerā¦ since they had to bide their time for what was coming next. Even the brief Sebastian plot was filler to give the lads airtime and a little bit of rare THEM time before Corriedale aired. And thatās the main problemā¦ you had a fixed episode that would air on a specific date that was in the making for ages. So you had to fill those gaps somehow and unfortunately those gaps left gaping holesā¦ Aaronās trauma with J was never really addressed, officially diagnosing Robert with ptsd and getting him treatment as well as addressed Kās control over Robert during the brief breakup was completely ignored in the end. When itās time to address those issues more closely, they for whatever reason get dropped. It comes off more like the show tires of a plot and just closes them sloppily without respectable resolution.
As for Ms. Powerpoint, she clearly has her favorites and sheās pushing them forward. And itās not really a new practice but here itās very blatantly done.
Genuine Question like could they not have written it as a comedy from the start ? Who was stopping them? I donāt understand how making light of abuse was the first thing that came to their head like how tasteless and talentless do you have to be to think a prison abused and traumatised man called a prostitute by his kid sister was a joke ?????????????????????????????????????????
Hmm, for whatever reason this didnāt post so, take two. I donāt understand the minds of either the producers or the storyliners if they consider trauma and abuse not a serious enough topic but to downplay as they moved forward with it. When you have the abused victim actually state heās depressed and has night terrors as well as revealing how unsafe he was in the prison environment then move on to have his so-called brother use it against him physicallyā¦ and never actually address it properly later (he wound him upā¦ really?!?), we shouldāve known, we were headed in the wrong direction then when K was gonna be introduced. To not understand it was life or death daily in there then grasp onto the irrelevant angleā¦ moneyā¦ which was clearly a frontā¦ just no words.
And then people act shocked that there assholes online who see abuse and violence and turn it into a joke š¤¦š»āāļø this is how you create incel entitled people. This is why you have people think what happened to Charity is ānot that badā because the show keeps showing bad things and rolling it as ānot that badā or turning it into a joke. They have a responsibility to educate people but no click baits and disgusting shock plots are what they are doing.
And this is why I am avoiding social media more and more because of these caustic and unsympathetic viewpoints. These are serious issues that should be taken seriously and not mocked/made light of whether you like or dislike the character. Itās no different with some belittling Mackenzie and ignoring the trauma he suffered at the hands of J because they hate the character and canāt see past that. And the educating part of it gets lost in it all especially when you donāt keep focus on the issue at hand but throw in twist after twist for the shock value of it all. They seem to fear staying the course wouldnāt be enough to keep you engaged but it usually is.
Sorry I have been spamming your askbox all day it must be draining to you but I appreciate your solidarity and thoughts it helps.Thank you šš» Sending you love and positive energy šŖš»šŖš»šŖš»šŖš» š„°
Itās the evening so trying to address as many asks as possible before itās time for sleep. And thank you for actually reading my babble š.
I donāt have Twitter, so I donāt really know the full context of what was being said, but she said that it was a joke from the start then either the actors did not get the memo or the writers because neither the acting, nor the writing was close to being funny. Sorry like what exactly, supposed to be funny, he stab himself to keep Robert in prison then he attacked him in his home with the sword and then didnāt call help, then brought a hunting gun??? like Robert saying āI am scared of him of how he will reactā some gag line Hhahahaha what a funny man he is make me sleepless because I am scared??? What the fuck is this insanity?
I āthinkā the funny bit might have been Robert having two āhubbiesā and running ragged to keep them apart which really wasnāt amusing one bit. It only put a strain on Robertās mental health which is always a low point for the show to address. After that, all I saw was K lying and trying to manipulate Robert to be with him and bringing up the scar/owing him. When all that failed, he became a tiny bit dangerous going after Aaron with his confrontations in the flat (which werenāt scary since he wasnāt the big bad in prison) and trying to rid him. Sure, thatās funny, trying to murder Robertās soulmate and heāll come back to him š. To each his own what one considers funny.
Journo Chloe replied to someone on twitter that Kev story was always a joke from the start??? Wtf ?
If this is official and not her opinion (I believe sheās a Robron fan and has expressed her displeasure about certain things in the past) then, Ryan did not get the memo. He played it straight and his performance of a man fresh out of prison suffering from depression, night terrors and PTSD was heartbreaking at times. How does no one take him aside and go, āoh btw your trauma is for laughs so try to add some hahas in thereā. I think it only became a comedy when Kev arrived and he made everything unserious.
Those first couple of months, Ryan played it perfectly with all the nuances of a man trying to readjust in a village that basically didnāt want him there while suffering the traumas of prison and being unable to talk about much of if. From what I gather, Ryan wasnāt aware of anything related to K (specifically him being his prison hubby) until he was. I also believe what he was hyped about at the time was scrapped for the K plot. His original interviews implied other things would be happening (but didnāt). The writing just seemed to fall backwards when they introduced K the way they did and making it less serious than it should ever have been.
