I thought that too Miss hellfire. I already watch Emmerdale but Daz did nothing for me. Now if it has been Carl.............
Bring back Cain Dingle is what i say. You can't beat a bit of Rough!!
Sam Dingle reminds me of my ex husband. Only in the looks and sensitivity department though not the divvy bit.
Emmerdales best comedy moment has got to be when Belle punched Val. That was brilliant!
Also i watched the wizard of Oz over the Bank holiday and doesn't the Lion look like Shadrach.
What does everyone think of the Jo and Andy storyline? Domestic violence has been covered so much in soaps before im not sure about it - its seems like they are doing this storyline "for the sake of it". Has Andy ever been violent before?
Also I see next week there is no hour long Emmerdale on Tuesday due to football but they havent got a 1 hour on Thursday either - hope they have finally dropped it (doubt it though)
Unless you count killing his adopted mother and accidently shooting his adopted dad when he was aiming for his adopted brother. He's abit of a pussycat really.

Very funny Lorns, but that's soaps for you.
I've just watched the episode, and despite having doubts about the way they were going to handle the domestic violence situation, I have to commend the writers on this occasion after seeing the whole programme.
At first I felt that the drama and tension between Andy and Jo could've been dealt with better in a 30 minute two-header; but on reflection it was necessary to inject elements of other life in the village to maintain the reality of gaps in their conversation. Life goes on, and it was disturbing to notice Andy's pleasant attitude to Lisa despite what he'd just done. That's common amongst both perpetrator and victim.
The writers either wrote from experience or researched the role for Jo extreemly well here. It's exactly the way someone behaves: from anger, to self doubt, to acceptance. I've never seen it done quite that well before, especially in such a short (but believable) mass audience programme that I've watched.
I hope the writers continue developing this properly. Domestic violence doesn't just happen and then go away; it smoulders for a long time once it's happened.

I agree. Jo should have escaped when she had the chance. If he has hit her once he will do it again.
