Emmerdale

[hestia8]

You know that thing where as a woman you feel like you have to be polite when asking for stuff because if you try to get away with stuff like guys do, you get thought of as a bitch, but if you are polite and ask for things like a woman is supposed to, you get overlooked?

Yeah.

Ha.

and Natasha kept blaming Nathan for everything that was going wrong, even though none of it would have happened if she hadn’t shot her husband

SHE WANTED TO FRAME FAYE, IF THEY HAD FRAMED FAYE EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE AND THEY WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT. BUT HE PICKED RYAN, AND NOW EVERYTHING HAS GONE COMPLETELY WRONG.

Anyway. I have seen that video, my mum heard he was on This Morning that day and told me about it, and I looked it up. And oh. It's quite sad that Lyndon wants to look for the good bits in Nathan because then he can be an interesting character, and everyone is just like, 'no, he's evil'.

Or Cain, really, given that they dated once and he's friends with Ryan, and he'd still know that Natasha and Nathan were probably involved and Faye was innocent.

I think the character is in danger of becoming a caricature without the family there (there’s only so many ways you can go with ‘he hates everyone and they hate him more’ without him just going 'why am I still here? Fuck it, I'm back off to London')I know what you mean, part of the great thing about Nathan is that he really doesn't seem to care about anyone, but really cares about his family, and if his family's not there you sort of only get one side of it. On a side note, he's been so lovely with Will this week, taking him to school and talking to his teachers and stuff. Anyway. But it might have been interesting to see him deal with the breakdown of his family, and maybe get into his head a bit when he wasn't focusing on a
