    I just love how they need to label people!

    I think it's important in this case. Only a handful of asexual characters on TV even though statistically 1 in every 100 people are asexual, and very few people know what asexuality even means so it's great to see it being explored in soap.

    I like it and don't like it to be honest!

    I do get what you mean about labeling people in general and putting people in to various boxes, defining them by their sexuality, gender, race, or whatever, isn't the best way forward for society, but on a personal level I think the wider public being able to understand what asexuality is or at least making them aware of it, is great.

    I think guilty Debbie will get back with Ross and boom the truth will come out

    The girl seems too young to have developed any strong sexual inclinations toward people tbh. Labelling her as 'asexual' at this time seems ludicrous

    Surely they could use some one thats well out of puberty though?

    She's about 16. Lots of people know their sexual orientation well before that, or at least enough to realise they don't quite fit in to the heteronormative outlook and start to try and figure things out, which is exactly what Liv is doing.

    Liv asexual storyline will be interesting and so is he acid storyline Emmerdale is being very original

    I hope Gabby does not turn on Liv and be a bully, hope she sticks by her confused mate, she will be jealous that Jakey wanted Liv not her though

    I’m just wondering what would Debbie’s reaction have been if Simon really did get the acid on Toms face? Would she actually have been happy?

    Unsure about this to be honest but I think she just wanted him beaten up.
    I'd love if they cut a few inches of the end of her hair!

    Tired of Debbie always playing the victim

    She treats people terribly and gets into a hump if somebody something minor to her.
    Is Cameron differently dead?

    Cameron is dead, electrocuted in the Woolpack siege.

    I know that but it's a soap.
    He might come back for Debbie!

    Ross is a great actor, I'm so buying into his pain.
    Will this be like a cartoon though, he'll be back to normal in two weeks//

    It'll be interesting to see how the makeup department manage to keep the scars consistent

    I thought it was a good episode tonight .
    Ross , with Moses not looking at him to his reaction with the mirror , so believable .

    Gabby with Liv , so cruel , so much like the Gabby of old really .

    Always. The writers try paint her as some sort of tragic character but the audience just sees a nasty little spiteful hypocritical bitch

    I have to laugh at the fact that Gabby was being escorted out of the room and of course in true soap fashion, Bernice released her grip to let her say one more thing. And of course the whole room is gawping like they are watching theatre when in real life they would be feeling very embarrassed and awkward.

    And in real life we'd be asking wtf are you saying , and she'd be getting an earful , to start , for doing what she did !

    Poor Liv , this will knock her confidence back another step .

    If I were Bernice, Gabby would soon have to be working very hard to pay for Liv's laser treatment.


  • Registered Users Posts: 36,082 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    Only a fake tattoo .


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,556 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    I'm not really surprised with what Gabby did she's a moody teenager and she thought that liv was with the guy that shes being batten on about for weeks and she didn't admit to getting the card.
