Emmerdale Reviews

This soap used to be called Emmerdale Farm and it was different then. It was all about the everyday life of a farming community. From time to time catastrophic events happened, like the plane crash and the fire which killed Kim's paramour but it was generally an easy going, slow moving soap where we knew the characters and how they were likely ...  Read the complete review

Emmerdale Hasn’t this soap changed over the years? I used to watch it when I was a young girl with my Gran when it was called Emmerdale Farm. Annie Sugden always up to her arm pits in flour baking on that huge old fashioned kitchen table, she used to pour the scones onto a tray fresh out of the oven and you could smell them, ...  Read the complete review

I apologise beforehand to any Emmerdale fans for this opinion, but I absolutely detest Emmerdale I'm afraid. I'm sure that will lead you to ask why watch it then? The answer is simple, the rest of the family love it so I'm outvoted. I tend to read the newspaper when it is on,but even when you're preoccupied it is easy to ...  Read the complete review

Poor old Jack. The preverbial moaner in Emmerdale who gets all the bad luck. Firstly he is a hard done by farmer without a good word to say about anyone. Then his wife leaves him for a toy boy. Then she tries to get custody of his kids. Then he does not get his EU subsidies. Then to top it all, his wife gets killed in the barn that blows ...  Read the complete review

I have been watching Emmerdale for about 5 years, and to be honest lately I really think that it has lost it's grasp on reality big style. The programme is based in a village, which used to be predominantly a farming village, but you very rarely see any farmwork being done now. The programme, like the other soaps focuses on ...  Read the complete review

It's good to see Emmerdale getting a bit spicier now it's on five times a week, i thought it had gone a bit stale over the past few months and didn't really go out of my way to watch it, but having watched a few recent episodes i think it's got quite good again. Lady Tara is up to her old tricks again by saddling up and ...  Read the complete review

We all know of a family like the Dingles, maybe not to the extent, but you have the scally who has his own sense of right or wrong. Now be honest who is the real villains in emmerdale? not Zak, but Eric Pollard or Chris Tate. With so many families splitting up and seperating I found the storyline surrounding Sarah and Jack quite riveting. ...  Read the complete review

Its been going on for years, like Brookside had some very dramatic story lines. However, I do think that Emmerdale to me has lost some appeal somewhat. I hope it doesn’t come on five days a week, how many times can you see Jack whinge and Sarah moan. In the past I have enjoyed its story lines, the kidnapping of Chris Tate was ...  Read the complete review

Emmerdale is the one soap that actually deserves the credit it gets, and should demand more credit than it so far has. In recent years it has turned around from being pretty dull and boring to a soap chock full of good whole characters and great stories. But what it has really going for it these days, is that it doesnt seem totally issued based. ...  Read the complete review

Emmerdale is perhaps my favourite soap. It is generally quite fast moving and has some good story lines. Miss a couple of episodes and you're lost, not like other soaps where you could easily fill in the blanks! Everybody in Emmerdale has a problem. Seth has been mugged by two girls. Poor old Ashley gave up what he wanted to do for ...  Read the complete review

Emmerdale the tale of ordinary country folk – well actually it is the tale of a village so caught up in bitching, back biting and misery that I can never understand why anyone chooses to live there. In the past year we have had bent councillors, death and destruction, and marriage break ups galore. As Emmerdale goes to five nights a week, ...  Read the complete review

Set in the Yorkshire Dales, in a beautiful country setting. The life inside the village is nothing but peaceful. So much happens in this soap. At the moment the good Reverend Ashly has decided to stay in Emmerdale, with his partner Bernice, and has turned down a job in Leeds, as he felt the community need him. All the problems the village as had, ...  Read the complete review

Emmerdale and Corronation Street may well be on at different times and on the same channel but there is much dispute about which family is most tough/hard. The Dingles tend not to try and sort things out normally and occasionally get into scuffles with all sorts of folk. The Batterby's are slightly different however because although Toyah and ...  Read the complete review

Been watching Emerdale since it was an Alotment, it has come through the years and moved with the times. It has seen shootings, Plane crashes, Affairs, Fires and now again another affair. Poor Mandy getting another divirce, firstly from Butch who finally married his one real Love Emily then died a few hours later. And now from Paddy and why? ...  Read the complete review

Ah, do you remember the days of Emmerdale Farm, when Molly Sugden ruled the roost, when men were men, and the sheep were frightened..... Emmerdale now is deeply pants. Filled with flimsy characters and pappy storylines. But for some reason it is still watchable. This soap used to focus on farms and family, steady away storylines, and lots ...  Read the complete review

What is happening in Emmerdale these days I mean I can remember when Jack had a farm with tractors and hay and cows. Now that seems to be all gone replaced by bedhoping sarah his wife who has took up with a guy young enough to be her son. The kids have taken Jacks side which I think was wise as Sarah is not fit to be a mum. And what about ...  Read the complete review

Emmerdale must be the best soap. Its excellent the way that it started off as Emmerdale Farm and was mainly focussed heavily on the farming side and in the kitchen type soap. But now they have really changed with times and managed to introduce so many excellent characters but still keep the farming part of it. I mean you just can't help but ...  Read the complete review

Call me sad, most people do but I adore Emmerdale. I get everything that need's to be done, done before that 7pm deadline. My partner knows to stay well out of my way and not to talk too much, not that I'm a complete cow but I'd hate to miss a single thing. My favourite characters have got to be Emily( how someone can ...  Read the complete review

Emmerdale has been getting everyone down lately what with all the cheaters, the splits and the old hags. Everyone in that village needed a good going at and our Ashley was definately the one to do it. He told them good and proper and they all needed to hear it. If you missed it then you really did miss out cos it really was one to be seen. ...  Read the complete review
