Our Emmerdale<\/a> review this week is a mixed bag. There were things we loved and things we didn\u2019t. A few things that we thought were really cleverly done and some that really weren\u2019t.<\/p>

Here\u2019s what we thought in our Emmerdale review of the week.<\/p>\n

Eric\u2019s gamble<\/h2>\n

We have been surprised by how invested we are in Eric\u2019s impulsive behaviour and the fall out<\/a>. We\u2019ve been musing about why this has drawn us in, when it\u2019s really a rather low-key storyline. And here\u2019s what we reckon \u2013 it\u2019s old school, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Classic Emmerdale is full of stories about money worries, scams and fraud, so in terms of subject matter this feels like something from back in the day (though back then, it would have been Pollard doing the scamming!).<\/p>\n

But more than that, it\u2019s been a slow burn. Eric changed his medication a while ago. It was a throwaway, inconsequential storyline that we didn\u2019t think was important. But since then his behaviour has become more impulsive, and now his whole world has fallen apart because he\u2019s gambled away all his money and Brenda\u2019s too on a cryptocurrency scam.<\/p>
