It was an absolutely superb episode and so well researched, acted etc. The ending with the real-life victims of D.A was so moving & powerful. Well done to all concerned. 👏👏👏👏👏x
It was so brilliantly written and directed. One of the very best. Will help men and women that episode be listened too, supported and helped. Well done to him and all involved!
It was brilliant both Eden & James played their parts amazingly well & loved the strong message from the various abused women at the end powerful stuff! 👏👌
It was excellent. Particular credit to Eden and James, both completely credible in their characters but the way the story went between the trial and the jury and how they debated the case, not knowing what we did. Brilliant.
I have a feeling that the words spoken during Belle’s scene in which she visited the shelter may have been words actually spoken at some time by victims of abuse. Chilling and heartbreaking. No woman should have to go through that
It was brilliant and the performances from Denise Welch, Charles Dale and Jack Ellis were spot on. Really added something bringing such established actors into the jury.
Difficult subject matter, but handled brilliantly. The speech of the last juror was especially powerful, highlighting just how abusers can present a totally different persona to the outside world, whereas their victims can’t hide anything, no matter how hard they try.
I was surprised how invested I was in the verdict. I actually punched the air. I like to think I know the soap rules etc. but good writing means that’s no insulation against being totally drawn in by them.
You and Denise were immense. Your character creation was spot on, started out thinking he was a wrong un, then he was given enough time and info to realise his initial conclusion was wrong. Difficult to achieve in such a small space of screen time.
I am a survivor and the most important thing is to be believed and to educate ppl on how domestic abuse works and can happen to anyone, so it was great to see the facts and misconceptions explored and explained. Great work from everyone. Soaps are well placed to show how DV works over time. Thank u!
This story dragged out a bit and lost its way in the middle that's in my honest opinion but tonight's episode was a fitting end and really shone a light on domestic abuse 👏👏👏 well done Emmerdale still the best soap 😁
I thought last nights episode Emmerdale was a very powerful piece of drama. Not only a brilliant performance by all the cast, therefore great directing,
but what a great piece of writing the script was
