And when you consider Nikhil and Gennie (or "Genhil") are the only reason I'm tuning in at the moment, you can imagine my joy at (a) the episode and (b) finding actual icons!!

Especially on nights like this when it gives me awesome Emmerdale casting news!!

Simply put, Priya Sharma has been recast, Mama & Papa Sharma have been cast. They're coming to the village because of Jai's engagement to Charity and to help plan the wedding.
But the best bit is that Mama Sharma is being played by the fabulous Trudie Goodwin, best known as Sgt June Ackland from The Bill!!!!
Squee!!!
The thought of Charity facing off against June Ackland is just too delicious!! (Because you know she's going to disapprove of Charity!)

Watched this on my iPhone in the office this morning, and all I can say is i'm incredibly glad that no-one came into the office as I was watching it, because I think they would've sent for the men in white coats!
Feel awful for Nikhil, because you know watching this that it's all going to end in tears (probably mine as well as his!). And it's a shame the writers chose to go this way - especially as they checked out of the Niksie relationship as soon as Alice announced she was leaving (they had precious few scenes together after Marks body was found, and ever since they got back together its obvious that he likes her more than she likes him)

It's a shame, because they had so much potential.....

BLONDE Emmerdale babe Alice Coulthard has quit, we can exclusively reveal.
The actress, who plays Maisie Wylde, told bosses she wants to concentrate on carving out a career in London.
Alice, 26, who is due to marry this summer, said: “After two amazing years, I’ve decided to leave Emmerdale.
“I’ve had a wonderful time and will miss working with such a hard working and talented team of people.
“I feel privileged to have been involved in some of the show’s most gripping storylines and I’m excited to be a part of the drama that is about to unfold for the Wyldes.”
Her posh character has had a stormy time, even falling in love with her half brother.
Bosses are keeping tight-lipped about her exit plotline but series producer Gavin Blyth added: “Maisie Wylde’s compelling story will take more twists and turns in the coming months as she delves into darker territory which will culminate in her exit from the show.
“Alice has been a real asset to Emmerdale and we’ll be sad to see her go.”
