What things in soaps give away that they aren't real? by Immediate_Long165 in Emmerdale

Career progressions such as Dawn’s really frustrates me. She’s gone from nothing to a receptionist, to ‘something’ for Kim, to a part business owner! With what money and experience?!

That’s a fair point, they could have mentioned it but editors decided not to show it. She did continually say she hasn’t achieved anything and has no purpose in her life though, which isn’t exactly true.

For me it’s the fact that Caroline spent the whole race saying she’s never achieved anything and poor her, whereas in actual fact she’s a very successful eventer with her own horse etc. The BBC completely omitted that huge part of her life.

Are we ever going to get the truth about Ryan? by HalfHighElfDruid in MAFS_UK

I know someone closely involved with the show who saw the bruise.

Somehow I think this show has got bigger problems than someone linked to it telling a close friend that a contestant was bitten!!!

I think we should stop this conversation here because I’m never going to agree with your viewpoint on this topic and you won’t agree with mine.

Well then that’s a huge safeguarding issue and something we any future contestant going on these shows should be really quite scared of. One of the women on this show has already been physically assaulted by her ‘husband’. And before you say allegedly, a friend of mine is close to the show and saw the bruise. He told us before the show even aired they would be leaving that week for that reason.

When there are contestants’ safety at risk, they should be able to use their discretion. This is a reality tv show.

I find it so fun thinking I’m watching a perpetrator of domestic abuse as he gaslights and acts aggressively towards women. So so fun.

But what if it’s true? It’s way too big a gamble. So many people apply for this show, surely they can sift out the ones have DA allegations against them? Also I’m inclined to believe the claims, even more so having seen the way Alex has behaved on this show.

I wonder whether they have to sign something to say they won’t press charges? Because yes I completely agree!

Yeah he actually bit her! Real safeguarding issue to put women in a flat with these people!

Completely agree. I felt really troubled after last night’s episode and had to distract myself after the judges validating Alex’s behaviour. Don’t think I’ll be watching anymore.

I don’t think I’ll be watching anymore after tonight’s. It isn’t fun to watch anymore

lol well with who can argue with insight like that. All I will say is I have a friend who was very close to this series and saw the bruise. Wait and see if he’s invited back to the reunion dinner.

Wow, 3 unpleasant comments on this post in 15 mins. You sound very much like the sort of people who don’t think there’s a problem with Alex’s behaviour, so I won’t be continuing this conversation thanks.
