Transgender In Emmerdale

[Dodger666]

Last night we had Hannah Barton return to Emmerdale as Matty Barton. If the producers want to along this storyline they could have at least had an actor that resembled Hannah and not a completely different looking character. I was amazed when Moira said after a few seconds, "It's Hannah". It looked and sounded nothing like her.

I thought the exact same Dodger! Amazed when Moira recognised her.

Isn't that the idea...to look nothing like your former self?
The idea of using a real transgender actor in the part is to be applauded.

hmm.. agree..not a good link as it were..

I think it would have been better if Moira had at least known about it even if she had kept it to herself.

It still would have been 'a shock' for the viewers and the others living in Emmerdale.
