ED - David and Victoria

Boring!!!!

So after her having loved him forever or whatever rubbish before their lengthy (and enjoyable for me) absence, they are suddenly the old married slippers and cocoa couple too knackered for anything by the faceless kids......

Pairing doesn't work.

Think he would be better moving to a new village as he probably has run out of potential partners within the village, and she could join a commune to celebrate misery combined with nusybody noseying......never to be seen again.

Happy days.

Their absence proved we don't actually need them!

    I thought her reaction to his proposal was horrible.

    I thought Victoria was completely in the right. They've only been together 7 months. David has two marriages behind him already. He's addicted to being in love, rather than actually loving any one person. It always has to be on his terms and when it's not new or exciting or dramatic (like getting married) then he's bored.

    If they do split up, I wonder is that to do with what happened in real life? Maybe the actors don't want to work together anymore?

    Yes, horrible. Victoria could at least have appreciated the trouble David had gone to on her behalf and said 'Thankyou, but it is too sudden and I need to think about it'.

    Victoria was horrible last night. David is being a mug, he should've dumped her after that tirade.

    I actually preferred watching this when the both of them weren't in it. Good to see Eric again

    I actually fast forward through the David and Victoria stuff, how those 2 actors are still on the show are baffling.

    Emmerdale must be the worst show for Cliches.

    I think it's ironic David a serial proposer, proposes and she expresses doubts and then he makes out she's got the problem and needs to sort herself out.

    Agreed. Full of tired played-out characters; the programme could do with a good culling

    Correct me if I’m wrong, I use Emmerdale to fall asleep to a lot. But wasn’t Devoid wittering on about their relationship becoming boring the other night?

    Agreed! David loves love, not other people. Hasn't Jacob called him out on it before as well? Also I was thinking - if two parents live together and one is exhausted perhaps the other one should step up a bit and help more with the kids, even the load out? Rather than plan late night dates. But that's too practical for David, not flashy enough.

    That said, I am not a fan of either David or Victoria, and I think all the secrecy about whatever happened IRL didn't help.

    This is true. Its actually smart of her to be cautious when it comes to his track record with women. And because they've hardly been on screen since becoming a couple its hard to tell if there is actually anything different about this relationship to suggest it'll last any longer than his others. The only real thing that got them together is having children the same age and having the same responsibilities. That being said I don't mind them as a couple and I do like the characters. It *could* work but they'd need to invest some time into showing some sort of lasting passion and spark between them.

    For me they are 2 of the worst and most boring characters on the show. I’d rank David as the second worst character after Chasilla, with Victoria not quite as bad as him but still not far behind. In this case I do side with Victoria and understand her POV far more than David’s, but I dislike siding with either of them.

    I guess in some ways it is fitting that these 2 useless, utterly thick, bores are with each other, to spare others from having to put up with them. But I wish that Queen Meena could have broken through their impenetrable plot armour and eliminated both of them a while back.

    I thought it was telling how little either character was missed during the 3 month absence.

    Victoria should find someone who is intelligent and speaks well and acts very regal like someone that comes from a posh family

    I wish David had stayed in Portugal permanently. He’s such a horrible irritating character, who wasn’t missed during his absence from the show.

    I don't buy them as a couple, each time I see them together on screen I think of the 'shenanigans' that led to them being taken off screen for 3 months and I don't think the actress is very good; the way she plays Victoria gets on my wick, can't put my finger on it.

    Agreed. It was a bit abrupt how Victoria acted to someone she apparently loves. Letting David down genitally would have been the best option. I also think David was acting like a spoilt brat though after.

    Unfortunate typo there but seeing as it’s related to David it’s kind of appropriate. He does act like a big set of genitals

    David is supposed to provide some humour......is he????? He acts like we are supposed to laugh at him - for example his scenes with Eric tonight - but in fact it's cringeworthy, I actually felt embarrassed.

    Bit like watching Steve Mcdonald on CS.

    Wheel him and her off.

    We didn't miss them, they haven't brought anything of value to ED by returning, and they are by far not the best actors in the show

    I agree with another poster.....time for a cull. And half the spoilt teenagers can go with them!!

    Not sure why they thought putting two of the most boring characters on the show together would be a good idea. Awful and zero chemistry. Shame they didn't stay away permanently

    I'm not sure he has a full set after his testicular cancer storyline.

    Well I like them and thought the scenes were hilarious tonight with Eric.

    I can't stand the David / Victoria romance as it feels very forced. The backstage events haven't helped either both because of the mystery over it and it meaning they were offscreen for so long so we don't really know what they are like as a normal couple rather than star crossed lovers fighting off the evil Meena to secure their relationship.

    All that said, I find it totally in character that David is already bored but trying to turn that onto Victoria whilst professing never ending love and making grand gestures.
    It is how he is in every relationship but at least they are referencing it on screen this time.

    In just the last 10ish years he has believed Leyla, Alicia, Priya, Tracy, Maya and now Vic to be 'the one' and wanted to marry them.
    Then he goes off them, usually with the next 'thee on e' already on his radar.

    Why does Victoria keep going on about being exhausted because she works and is a single mum? I mean doesn't David work and isn't he a single dad and er don't they actually live together.

    It's such a weird scenario. When Victoria lived alone I can't remember her going on about being so exhausted but now she is in a couple she can barely cope. Weird, very weird.
