Just like Britain's EastEnders and Australia's Home and Away, this is one soap that I used to like before slowly disliking and almost completely quit watching - I tend to forget it's drama yet almost makes me believe it's genuine. I'm mainly interested in Emmerdale from 2009 to 2014 or 2015 as I'm still watching favourite moments on YouTube. As for anything current or past few years mainly nurse Meena Jutla turned into serial killer with her victims being doctor Liam Cavanagh's daughter Leanna, Andrea Tate and Ben Tucker (Liv got blamed for that) and expose of Chas's affair with Al Chapman which Paddy finds out, and Cain made a scapegoat as his lad Kyle in a course of action combination of Bobby Beale and Maggie Simpson with a gun. In 2015, hated some tragic deaths of Valerie Pollard and even Katie Sugden.

From watching online and mainly on YouTube, my favourite moments include Cain Dingle (classic actor Jeff Hordley) getting beaten up by mystery assailant in 2011 (prime suspects being Jai Sharma and John Barton and cousin Charity left him for dead), the live episode in October 2012 when Chas (beautiful Lucy Pargeter back then) confronted by Carl King who worked out she had relationship with Cameron Murray (Dominic Power is another good actor), blackmailed them and lead Chas believe she killed Carl (Cameron concealing the truth he's the culprit). I really hate Debbie back then like she's a hypocrite when she somehow slept with Cameron whilst in Jersey then she gets furious of Cameron sleeping with Chas then as payback have her sent down. When that failed, she creates the horror film cliche with taking someone to somewhere secluded and finish them in a frightful way. Even hated Charity as well back when she was against Chas wanting her sent down.

What Cameron did to Chas's half-sister Gennie (after her distrust of Cameron, she overheard him admitting that he killed Carl) was unforgivable (breaks my heart even watching Chas grieve that she doubted Gennie about Cameron) - as because of that, I prefer Chas to be looking after Molly on Gennie's behalf instead of having Molly and her dad Nikhil in Toronto. Even Debbie too is partially to blame as if she didn't take Cameron back after he confessed to killing Carl for her sake, then she wouldn't chased Gennie off the road.

Overall, Emmerdale is soap I used to like yet lost interest in it since, only favourite moments with Cain's attack in December 2011, Cameron and Chas's affair even with Gennie finding out, Chas on trial for Carl's murder, Debbie and Chas nail Cameron for what he did.
