as we come to the end of what is possibly one of the worst years emmerdale has had in terms of storyline and character, i thought it’d be fun (not to mention cathartic) to do a little wishlist of the things i most want to see in 2021.
behold:
(ok so OBVIOUSLY my first instinct is bring robert back. however… part of me wants them to keep his return until 2022 for the 50th anniversary. it’s nothing less than our king deserves.)
liv fucks off forever. i don’t really care about the how’s and why’s… but a lengthy prison sentence for death by dangerous driving would be preferable
chaddy split and fulfil the christmas wedding curse in record time. the messier and more painful, the better. aaron brings eve to live with him at the mill for reasons.
paul leaves/dies. vinny can stay as long as he goes back to being part of the sam/lydia/samson family again, and restarts that storyline as the male voice in the village choir
kayak boy begone, mackenzie and meena stay
aaron gets to live his life as an independent 29 year-old and interacts with people other than his family. the only relatives he has scenes with are cain and marlon. he gets a nice dog (and maybe as a bonus custody of seb bc rebecca’s dead, idc how maybe liv hit her with a car). the sanctity of the mill is restored.
jai/laurel are protected at all costs
either the posners leave, or they stay if only so we can finally get cracking with the “luke is lee’s real killer” storyline
MORE FRIENDSHIPS. COMMUNITY. DIFFERENT CHARACTERS INTERACTING. I KNOW COVID’S A THING, BUT IF CORRIE CAN STILL MANAGE IT, SO CAN YOU ED THERE’S NO EXCUSE
victoria grows her hair out and returns to her old self. it’ll take time/hard work to undo the mess they made of her in recent times, but i believe it can be done!
there’s really no need for debbie to stay. we want to be reducing the number of dingles in the village, not adding to it.
GIVE MATTY A STORYLINE PLS EMMERDALE I BEG
andrea and her demon child disappear overnight, never to be seen again. what happened to them? nobody cares.
we finally say a fond (lol) farewell to will and harriet
let v*nity stay dead, don’t bring that shit back into 2021.
DEAR LORD let some families other than the dingles own every business in the village. starting with the woolpack – let’s have some new people take over the pub!
