Not me posting about Emmerdale in the year 2024. But the level of bullshit has forced my hand 😂

Is Aaron/John the route they are seriously taking? Because if you asked me, now the occasional casual viewer, I would say that their 'relationship' is just a catalyst for eventual Aaron/Mack.

If that's not the case, then what is the explanation for Mack's jealousy? Like, yes, a friend can care for you. But why so much focus, the dialogue choices, and just the way the scenes have been set up in general. IMO it plays to me like Mack has feelings for Aaron.

But, it is probably just writers/producers who have no clue how to make a proper storyline these days. Also, the fact that Danny and Lawrence have tones of chemistry compared to the latter. If they are trying to make you root for the new character, why are the scenes so wooden? It's like they're not even trying.

Anyways, that is all.

The long-running UK soap opera Emmerdale (originally titled Emmerdale Farm) airs its 10,000th (not a typo) episode tonight (May 22, 2024). The Mirror tabloid just ran a little article on famous actors who appeared on the show and leading the list is Jenna Coleman, and they use a couple of images that you may have not seen of her from it.

Jenna started her screen acting career on Emmerdale, appearing on the show as Jasmine Thomas from 2005 to 2009 for approximately 400 episodes (according to Emmerdale fan sites; the IMDb claims only 180, which sounds a bit low for a 4-year-run on a soap opera). Her first episode aired only a couple of weeks after the final Christopher Eccleston episode of Doctor Who, and she also appeared with fellow Emmerdale cast members on the same Children in Need Special in late 2005 that featured the first David Tennant minisode.

The Mirror article omits one other actor with Who connections who was in the show: during its first years Frazer Hines, formerly Jamie McCrimmon during the Patrick Troughton era, was a major cast member.

Here's an TV interview the former Jenna-Louise Coleman did during her first year on the show (including a clip from the show - how she's changed!):

Okay so I’m going to do a list of trans characters that have had prominent recurring roles on tv shows. am only going to talk about characters I have personal familiarity with. please add if you want to - but recurring characters, please! 

Adam Torres - Degrassi (2010-2013)

Trans man. Pretty badly handled, tbh. Can be somewhat forgiven for being one of the first trans main characters on tv. Still, he’s played by an actress, binds with bandages and the show acts like he passes when he doesn’t (and thus never addresses issues re misgendering due to not passing). Extremely masc and straight. Ends up dead. You know, all the pitfalls. 

Sophia Burset - Orange Is The New Black (2013-)

Trans woman. Pretty sure everyone knows about her. Unspecified wlw. 

Nomi Mark - Sense8 (2015-2018)

Trans woman, one of eight pov and thus main characters of the show. Played by a trans woman. Has a girlfriend throughout the show and is implied to be a lesbian. 

Yael Baron - Degrassi (2016-)

Genderqueer, uses they/them. Much better handled than Adam. Degrassi has upgraded from bandages to an actual binder for their story line. Gender identity only really explored in s4 so far though.

Trevor - Shameless (2016-)

Trans man, love interest to a main character, Ian. Ian is extremely tactlessly transphobic towards him in the beginning, but in the sort of “see this is what you don’t do, audience” sort of way. Portrayed as desirable, unspecified mlm. 

Buck Vu - The OA (2016-)

Trans boy. Not super prominent so far, but is in the main cast. Played by a trans actor. 

Matty Barton - Emmerdale (2018-)

Trans man. Matty was formerly a character never intended to be trans on the show from around 2009-2012 but returned with a different (trans) actor in 2018. Very poignant coming out to his mum scenes imo. Straight and has a lot of plots about trying to date while trans. 

[idealuk]

The arrogance of ignorance, A.K.A. ‘Brad Falchuk, Tim Minear, and Ryan Murphy, please give me a reason to stop crying over a British soap opera’!

Straight people (read: mostly white, cis, conforming, bigoted, straight people) think that they’re all about family values.

Actual fact: Divorce rates are statistically lower in same-sex marriages.

Two separate media portrayals that people are incredibly enthusiastic about being exemplar examples of what it means to be part of a family that’s truly there for each other: Two queer men whom are raising a kid, or multiple kids, together with the dark-haired, slightly shorter, one being the one who’s biologically related to the first child (I am shooting for the moon with the new ship), despite the fact that the child looks like they could share genetics with either man, and the one that the kid ironically shares hair colour with behaving like their parent almost as soon as they meet the kid with the child reacting in kind.

Hey, “9-1-1,” bisexual (prison, “Emmerdale,” really?!), pansexual, and demisexual men exist! Clearly, neither Buck or Eddie are the latter, but you are definitely, intentionally or otherwise, portraying both characters as one of the prior labels with romantic, and obviously sexual, tension between them! That is not how straight male “best buds” banter, touch each other, seem oblivious of the concept of personal space when around each other in point of fact, smile at each other, give in the compulsion to depend on each other as human beings, and they especially don’t argue with that much guilt-injected intensity that exposes a particular vulnerability to said “best bud,” or reunite using break-up terms when referring to their argument, or singling themselves out, like Eddie did, when Buck went against the entire team, emphasizing the word “us” in ”Did you ever stop and think what that could do to us”! That’s not a thing! They are literally raising Christopher TOGETHER!!! ... We just lost the formerly brilliant Roblivion due to shitty writing leading to one of the actors wanting to leave, which led to even shittier writing, and the end of a legendary TV family, do the right thing, and give us INTENTIONALLY NON-PLATONIC Buddiepher to try to fill that void! You’re already doing good with the black lesbian wives/mothers having their drama, but working through it, and both of the other currently established main couples being interracial, whilst  not weighing them down with overt angst because of that fact, in spite of also not ignoring issues on the matter of race. Finish the job of being a pioneer of representing healthy diversity with the entire main cast and go forth with Buddie/make Buddiepher the actual family they’re already acting like, ... and give Michael a new boyfriend while you’re at it!

... I make this request for legitimate Buddiepher not totally convinced that they don’t already have that in the works (are we not supposed to take Tina Mabry’s likes and replies as confirmation?). I just want them to know that the viewers are behind them if they choose to do the right thing.

telly in 2016

ok i've done books and music and film and theatre and now it's onto the serious stuff

so this year in telly. well, it started with call the midwife i suppose, which has formerly been something of a massive obsession. but i think i've kinda cooled on it a bit, and i've not really rewatched it on dvd much because, let's be honest, as good as the show really is it's the lesbians that make me rewatch it, and the patsy/delia story (once they got back together) was kinda meh, if i'm being honest. yes, they're cute, and yes, they go dancing and yes, delia faces up to her mother, but there was no real drama, no real jeapordy (can never spell that. jeopardy? idk) and so while i rewatched s4 a lot in 2015 (though tended to stop before the last 20 minutes) in 2016 i barely rewatched s5. though, to be honest, there might be another explanation too (see below...)

so, after ctm, i was casting around for something to fill the gap. and bramwell was supposed to do that, but i kinda got distracted, so (even despite jemma redgrave) i'm still only two series into that. to be fair though, that's because i know at some point it's all going to turn to shit and i don't know whether that's in s3 or s4 so i'm reluctant to go further because i don't want to get annoyed at it.

anyway, also trying to fill the gap, home fires. fuck's sake. fucking hell. part of the problem is that heidi thomas has raised the bar for female-centred television so i kinda went into this expecting the same. and the first episode of s2 seemed to be going that way, but after that everything about it was trying to cram men in at every corner. too many characters, too many storylines, not enough time, not enough development. a final twist that the show runner seemed to think was an edge-of-the-seat-never-been-done-before cliff hanger apparently forgetting that dropping a plane or equivalent out of the sky has been done in every soap opera ever (in emmerdale at least twice; in casualty at least once; coronation st had a tram falling out of the sky once too). storylining that was done with such a sense of reckless and arrogant entitlement (i.e. their assumption that yes, of course they would get a third series because of course they would and how could they not when they've written an ending to the series which is expressly designed to manipulate the show commissioning people into recommissioning it). i quickly disengaged from this show and only watched it to see how bad it could get, but this is hands down winner of the award for the show that made me most angry this year (for comparison, 2015's winner was LTIH).

after that, i was casting around for something to watch. and finally discovered tenko. there was an awkward bit at the beginning where i was waiting for there to be jokes but then i realized i'd mixed it up with m*a*s*h. anyway. can't recommend this highly enough. i watched all 3 series and tenko the reunion through like five times over. it's brilliant female focused television, it's complex, it's so cleverly written. lots of things get called groundbreaking that aren't, but this geniunely is. anyone who loves ctm is probably going to love this. there are nuns, and nurses, and lesbians, and history, and it’s incredible.

after that. well, fuck, that was the point probably at which i fell down the holby rabbit hole, which is the reason i've pretty much not watched any other shows for the last 6 months. so the first episode i watched was the one with heather peace in it, and i'd heard about it and so i skimmed through it the day after it had screened and i was like 'what the fuck even is this? why have they introduced a lesbian character for one episode only, apparently with the sole function of outing another character and then disappearing for ever, so there's no chance of them having a relationship like what even was the point of that?' honestly i was so cross about it. and then. and then. well, holby play the long game don't they. and eventually i got sucked in. and there was no way i was going to watch holby. holby city ffs! everyone knows holby's shit. except it turns out holby isn't shit at all. it has moments of surprising subtlety and cleverness and yes i imagine all their medical stuff is utter bullshit but it is unashamedly and cleverly a soap, and its focus is relationships, and they do it well. it's also relentless though, and there was a point a few months ago where i was like 'i don't think i have the stamina for the way that holby stretch out relationships', and i think that was the point at which i went 'i'm just going to watch the show, and enjoy the show, and not get strung out over it'. because it's not like ctm where it's 8 weeks and then it's over; it's relentless. it's relentless going forwards, but also there's like a thousand thousand episodes in the back catalogue. and chantelle lane is my absolute favourite. (i currently can't have conversations with people about television because what i've most recently watched is s.13 holby and a) i'm not admitting to that and b) even if i did, no one would know what i was on about).

anyway, like so many, i've fallen down the catherine russell rabbit hole. how is she even. she is just impossible. her ability to convey emotion with her face and her voice and the microexpressions and subtle shifts of tone are just too. much. and it was a joy of joys to find out she was my all-time-fave rachel in the cazalets. so there was a rewatch of that and a bunch of other stuff from her back catalogue (chandler and co was surprisingly decent, kinda). also a bunch of old jemma redgrave stuff too (couldn't watch the ones with robson green or matthew from 'tonight matthew i'm going to be' because it turns out they annoy me more than i find her attractive, which is quite an impressive amount. i did manage to overcome my irritation with eve myles to watch frankie, but i'm still not over the fact that NO ONE IN A SHOW SET IN BRISTOL HAD A BRISTOLIAN ACCENT. if i think about this for too long it makes me really cross).

what else: i'm still on a sally wainwright boycott. i skimmed through ltih just to see where it would go, but i didn't watch it and nor, apparently, do i care much about what happens to any of them any more. but it meant that despite rave reviews i won't watch happy valley or the one with the brontes. idk, maybe it's childish of me but i'm still so annoyed at what she did, and so, here we are.

Emmmerdale’s Ash Palmisciano PRAISED by charity over Matty Barton portrayal

http://www.internetunleashed.co.uk/?p=24218 Emmmerdale’s Ash Palmisciano PRAISED by charity over Matty Barton portrayal - http://www.internetunleashed.co.uk/?p=24218 Emmerdale: Matty Barton actor Ash Palmisciano has been praised by charity On The Run [ITV] Ever since arriving in Emmerdale as the ITV soap’s very first transgender character Matty Barton, formerly known as Hannah Barton, Ash Palmisciano has made quite an impact. Playing Moira Dingle’s youngest child, viewers have been gripped as Matty had a rocky start to village life after being conned by a farmer and exploring a potential romance with friend and sister-in-law Victoria Barton. His portrayal as Matty has been rightly so praised by viewers and now, Ash has also been shown the support of charity On The Road — who run a project called All About Trans, which works with the media to help bring about a better understanding of trans people. Emmerdale: Ash plays the soap's first transgender character Matty Barton [ITV] Speaking exclusively to OK! Online, a representative from On The Road revealed just how proud they are for the actor and explained just how his role has an impact on the trans community. They revealed: “We’re so proud of Ash. Ash has worked hard throughout his career, with a number of exciting projects like Summer in London and Channel 4’s Random Acts. He truly deserves to have Matty’s role, and he’s already shown his talents on screen. He’s a brilliant ambassador for the trans community, and a lovely person. “Seeing Matty’s character develop and Ash being cast through our introduction was a real success for our project. We’ve seen lots of people talking about the character and trans people more generally, and Ash has had some lovely messages from people congratulating him.” Sam opens up to Lydia and confesses to his part in Alice's death – Lydia supports him and he comes clean to son Samson [ITV] Emmerdale spoilers: Drama continues on ITV this week – click here to see all the upcoming Emmerdale spoilers Emmerdale: The charaity revealed just how 'proud' they were of Ash Palmisciano [ITV]   Emmerdale: Ash Palmisciano worked with All About Trans ahead of his role [Instagram/ Ash Palmisciano]   Following recent scenes saw Emmerdale characters including Moira, Zak Dingle and David Metcalfe get their heads around Hannah’s transformation into Matty, the charity were keen emphasise just how important it is for not just Matty’s, but other transgender character’s stories to be told on screen. They continued: “It’s so important. Not only is it a great way for trans people’s experiences to be told, it’s also so important for people to see themselves in the media.  “It can give young trans people the language to understand their experiences, but also to make them feel less alone. We know that two in five young trans people attempt suicide – so a positive role model like Ash, who does great work with Gendered Intelligence as well as our own project, is brilliant. Emmerdale: Moira Barton has learned to accept her son Matty, who was formerly her daughter Hannah Barton [ITV] “Soaps are watched by millions of people around the UK, and they give us a window into different characters’ lives. If you didn’t know a trans person before seeing Matty on your screen, now you know a little more about trans people’s lives.” Indeed, Ash, who worked with All About Trans in regards to the storyline, previously opened up at a recent press day about how there’s no need to put a label on his character. He explained: “Normalising what it means to be trans - Matty is a very ordinary guy, who happens to be trans, and in the storyline, there is a lot more to him. He’s a son, he’s a cheeky chappy, he’s got a lot more going on apart from the label.” Emmerdale star Ash Palmisciano reveals there's more to Matty than just a trans label [ITV] This was echoed by on the Road, who revealed what they’d like to see from the soap’s newest character: “We’d like to see Matty relax back into his life in the village, and enjoy seeing his family after a number of years. Sadly, some trans people aren’t supported by their family, so we’re so happy to see Moira’s growing acceptance of her child.  “We’re looking forward to seeing him as just another person in Emmerdale – that him being trans is only one part of his identity, not the only thing!” window.fbAsyncInit = function () { FB.init({ appId: '543301995758445', xfbml: true, version: 'v2.8' }); }; (function (d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) { return; } js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "http://connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Source link
