I wonder what the hell is going on with Gemma Atkinson.
It gets reported that she has quit - she then denies this and insists she's negotiated a new contract - then has apparently said she'd be up for reprising the role she had in Casualty.
Its a bit odd that she has a full time radio slot whilst supposedly still being a full-term member of cast.
But the show hasn't really given her anything decent to do since her entrance storyline (except for her miscarriage plot, which lasted all of 3 episodes).
It seems a bit ridiculous that ED has gone to the trouble of building a new set and casting a whole array of "new" characters (all of which will be forgotten about as soon as the plotline ends) simply to give one actor a storyline, whilst characters like Gemma's just get left sitting on the shelf with nothing important to do.

Perhaps she's on the publicity bandwagon...

Had to Google her to find out this is Carly. Don't give a flying one, as I have said previously, she is a vanilla character that is a good looking girl but not a particularly strong actress nor has had any real impact on the programme. If she disappeared tomorrow I doubt if anyone would notice. They put her with Moron in a very unlikely relationship that does not gel and he looks old enough to be her father. Boring.

The mistake I think they made is that they have asked a 33 year old tall blonde girl to play a 25 year old short brunette and it's never quite worked out.
Atkinson should have been given another character, Bob was married six times, there must have been another daughter she could have played!
I wonder if she's trying to tout for new work, knowing that Emmerdale, isn't really interested in giving her something decent to work on.
As for the new set, are they actually building one or have they borrowed Corrie's prison set?

I think she was only cast partly because it's Gemma Atkinson the model. Not really for her acting, even though I think she did well in Hollyoaks.

Boring.That's what I find hard to swallow too, at least with Marlon (and I can't believe I'm saying this after the way I kicked off about them at the time) had a bit of a spark with Laurel but there's NOTHING with Carly. You get the impression that they're together because of April - he feels forced because his kid loves Carly (and he fancies her of course) and she liked being a sort of Nanny to April who has somehow fell into a relationship with her employer and doesn't quite know how the hell it happened lol! IIRC they put her with Ross first and that could have worked out quite well but then they must have decided their golden boy (as he was at the time) should be with the soaps 'premier' ( free-rolleye-smileys-323 ) family so decided to have him lusting after the most miserable woman in t'dales Debbie Dingle. I don't mind Carly, I prefer her to the overused (IMO) Tracey (and definitely prefer her to the car crash that is KerryMan) but they don't really seem to know what to do with her and the actress must realise this hence doing or hinting about other jobs. The very fact that ED are OK about her doing that radio show speaks volumes, can't imagine them letting the actresses who play Debbie, Charity or Chas do the same or even Tracey and Kerry!

The way the producers treat the Dingle Family. You would think they were the original family.

Is she leaving AGAIN? Read that Carly and Beardy Matt rekindle their romance- oh POOR Moron - , I expect he will take up yet again with Laurel, and they go off together.
