Since the CoronaVirus Pandemic, all Serial Dramas have been broadcast on a limited basis in an attempt to prolong the programme for as much as possible into the future. This is due to Government Regulations put in place which have halted production of ongoing dramas and Emmerdale is no different. As the weekly episodes have been cut from six episodes to just three, it only stood to reason timing would be out-of-synchronicity with Real Time events.
Last week in Emmerdale, Andrea Tate (Anna Nightingale) discovered her husband, Jamie Tate (Alexander Lincoln), was having an affair behind her back with Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper).
Participating in an Easter Egg Hunt, Jamie & Belle thought they were secluded away from people enough to have a quick snog in the woodland but that couldn't be further from the truth. Andrea saw everything.
In tonight's episode - Monday 04 May 2020 - Jamie & Belle were in The Woolpack having a drink - shall we say after their 'celebration' - where Jamie was precautious about who heard what when Belle declared she'd "like to do that again". In true Serial Drama style, it wasn't long before Andrea crashed the party and joined them in The Woolie.
Soon enough, Andrea plonked herself down at Belle & Jamie's table and immediately a frosty atmosphere began to bellow over the trio.
During the episode, Andrea dished out some brilliant passive-aggressivness towards both Jamie & Belle. But it was Andrea, herself, who played with fire by taking Jamie out of the village and away from Belle, to go on a holiday.
It's only going to be a matter of time before it all ends in tears, but for whom?
Emmerdale continues on ITV/STV.
