I wonder if it was Michelle Hardwick doing the mimicking, they would let her carry on regardless.

I've just read that Matthew Wolfenden is back filming. Interesting that Aaron Anthony leaves when this news was about to break.

I don't know what to think. ITV need to be transparent which they won't be. I bet it is pretty awkward on set to say the least. Perhaps in future certain actors may think before speaking.

I think the incident must have been quite serious for Matthew and Isobel to get a suspension. To say they did not get suspended was like saying the iceberg rammed into the Titanic, or that the bomb accidentally fell out of the plane when it was flying over Hiroshima.

I wonder what Dimwit David's exit storyline would be if Matthew Wolfenstein - or whatever the heck his name is - turns out to be guilty?
They should kill him off in the same vein as Val Pollard and have a giant shard of glass drop on his empty head.

And Isobel Hodgins if she got canned.

Meena’s reign of terror is just going on too long. The stories are getting more and more unbelievable. Please writers let’s move on.

Too many murders in such a tiny village in the middle of nowhere.

Too many murders in such a tiny village in the middle of nowhere. Still not as bad as Causton / Midsomer county

I was trying to keep an open mind about the whole Race Row. But it seems increasingly likely to me that the reports are true based on the length of the actors' suspensions. And, yes, I do believe they were secretly suspended but ITV won't admit it as it will expose them...
The Gruesome Twosome also known as Matthew Wolfenstein and Isabel Codswallop have returned to filming like nothing's even happened! While poor old Aaron Anthony is made to leave his job because the spineless bosses over at Emmerdale don't have the guts to fire Matthew and Isabel. Here's hoping Anthony releases a statement about the incident and exposes the pair of racist planks...
Now that I've had time to think about it and read more about it... I think they are definitely guilty. You do NOT get SUSPENDED from work for MONTHS unless you've done something seriously wrong. I can't imagine any actor being given a suspension for mimicking a colleague's natural English accent - that'd be ridiculous! Matthew and Isabel were obviously suspended for imitating an Indian accent and demeaning a fellow actor (my bet is on Paige Sandhu a.k.a Meena). And the Emmerdale bosses have attempted to sweep it under the carpet and pretend it didn't happen by basically sending the two accused actors on holiday! Despicable stuff. What's worse is, the unnamed actor has to now face these two muppets on set when they return! No doubt they will rub it in her face and remind her how untouchable they are!
I don't care how long David and Victoria have been on the show... it is unacceptable to let the actors carry on after an incident like this. A suspension is not enough. What message does that send? Very worrying indeed. What a sorry state of affairs Emmerdale finds itself in...

Without knowing what’s gone on (still!) it’s very hard to determine what the facts are.
Personally speaking I think it’s gone on this long because it involves a person of colour and Emmerdale/ITV have to be seen to be doing everything by the book.
I believe all forms of racism and bullying are wrong and should be dealt with but it does seem certain elements of that are considered more heinous than others, those two being racism against a person of colour and anything that upsets someone of the Jewish faith.
Had the mimicking been of someone like Eric because he’s old and talks posh or Brenda cos she talks like she’s had a lobotomy it would have been boxed off in minutes.

My eyes look Oriental, and people have called me Chinky or Chinaman due to my oriental looking eyes. I have no know Oriental ancestry but there may be some somewhere, a long way back. A schoolmate of mine also had Chinese looking eyes and neither of us have Downs Syndrome and he had blonde hair. Bjork has Asian looking feature and she is Icelandic.

Wouldn't be surprised if David and Victoria are only back for Meena to be able to kill both of them.

They could recast Victoria Sugden.
