People of the Valley - Part 85 - Iolo and Macs

[chi2bou]

the actor playing Macs is really good!!!!! at the begining he wasn t so appealling but now that he is being on the edge well .... wow he is playing fair and makes me want to hug him !!!!! very good acting!!!!!

[angellady30]

If Scott dares return he will have a fired up iolo to deal with that look on iolo's face said it all he wants revenge for his Brother.The way Iolo has stood by his Brother no matter how badly iolo has been treated by him shows that iolo loves and cares for his Brother and will do anything for him.But what worries me now is now iolo knows the truth just how far will he go to get Scott to pay for the hurt and suffering that Macs has been through.iolo will always be there supporting his brother .

[pdcub5]

@angellady30 Yes hopefully Iolo doesn't take things into his own hands and tries to "fix" the problem that is Scott.

[corvus13]

Macs doesn't want to tell Sioned because he doesn't want to upset her, but his behavior upsets her nonetheless. Not that she doesn't deserve worse.

However, her hair looks great. No more combing it with an egg beater.

Great acting in these scenes, but I'm beginning to dislike Macs for the way he treats Iolo.

[obsidiansugar]

Is scott still in town.

[angellady30]

Gaynor done the right thing in telling Sion why his Son Macs had been acting so out of charecter as of late.Thank goodness Macs has know allowed his Brother and Father in on what has happened and they can now offer him the support to get through this terrible ordeal.But yes Macs health worries are a concern I just hope they are nothing serious after what he has been through at the hands of Scott but what worries me the most is lolo's reaction he was spitting how long before he tracks Scott down.

[emmaasher]

Sorry, Bad thought. With Macs not feeling well should we be worried about STD's?

[luckyduck152]

Great episode. Very powerful and a subject that most shows don't have the guts to touch. The acting and writing is fantastic.

[min1ade]

I feel like Sion would smells like banana bread if you hugged him :)

[DMR2006]

Why wouldn't Sion show understanding, sympathy & support to Macs, after finding out about him being raped by Scott. Sion's Macs' and Iolo's father. Of course he's going to be there for his kids. Did some viewers think that he would blame Macs for Scott raping him?

[GOSMGR1]

I'm seriously impressed with Rhys Bidder's acting right the way through this storyline

[paultaro100]

Love this show. Totally shocked at how much was revealed in this scene. This went at a snail's pace and now is speeding up. Really good show makes me want to learn Welsh!

[nyser1]

About time! I know that this would be Sion's reaction if he found out! If there's one thing you can say about Sion, it's that he loves his kids! Any tension between them has only come from the fact that he holds them to high standards. Macs hasn't really been able to live up to that and, to a lesser extent, neither has Iolo, but Sion is a man who can be counted on to do what he thinks is best for his kids. I really admire him for that.

[axelnelson]

Did Macs really go to a doctor?

[16emmi]

brilliant! I was so surprised when she told the father his son was attacked. I love how the father knew his son was hurting and stepped right in and help him. Parents know their children, I love it perfectly done!  greengossipgrl@twitter

[AOP25]

it has been very tough for Macs these days, going through all the pain that he has and suffering all that by himself. Good thing that he isn't thinking about suicide because i remembered in part 83 i think he was talking to his mother in front of the graveyard and asking "what should I do mom" that worried me. Now that Sion and Iolo know, I hope he can be strong enough again and go through with it. And one thing that I want to say about Sioned is i'm glad she stayed by him all these times.

[jwsm2]

Macs said he doesn't know what set Scott off-eventually it'll get back to him what Ffion said-it's more than that though with Scott having his own issues and all the drama between Scott/Sioned/Macs.I think Ffion with her being drunk so much Macs is going to put the blame totally on her for Scott losing it.Gaynor will probably fire her.I love her acting.She really plays the part well.

[lila23]

Amazing storyline! So strong and emotional...

[jspccz]

I'm happy Macs isn't thinking about suicide.I loved Sion holding his son and both wishing Macs mum and Sion's former wife could give em both a hug.That was sweet.Iolo's reaction was great I'm going to kill Scott:)

[yournewsecretcrush]

I was thoroughly impressed by these scenes. Very, very well acted and emotional. I loved it. Which I don't say much. One qualm is: why would Iolo's dad question his son's possible use of drugs with his BOSS?!? Even if you thought it, you wouldn't ask your son's boss about it - for the pure fact of putting the idea in their head, or making them question his integrity (if you need to ask if your son's using drugs, it's indication that you think he's in a place where he would).

[Elaiyel]

Oy! Who was that woman who spilled the beans to Sion? And how in the world did she find out when no one else knew?

[fleurdenel]

@Elaiyel She's Gaynor, she knows because Macs told her a little ago.

[Elaiyel]

@fleurdenel Thanks. But why and when did Macs tell her?

[fleurdenel]

@Elaiyel in part 81 (had to search for it - then youtube wouldn't let me link to it...)

[Elaiyel]

@fleurdenel  Thank you so much. I'll go back and view that episode.

[lila23]

@Elaiyel Hello, Macs told her himself. She's a lady from school (his superior I think).

[Elaiyel]

@lila23 Thanks. What made Macs tell Gaynor? Must have missed that episode.

[samanthapetrelli]

wow... we had a strong episode today...

[kmcknight100]

What a great dad.

[Imogen1885]

How realisitic is it that a father would be so understanding? I can see Iolo being understanding but Sion?

[yournewsecretcrush]

@Imogen1885 why not?

[JiminPalmSprings]

I really wish Macs would tell Sioned.. His future wife needs to know and I think she's not the idiot she once was and would be there for him because you can see she loves him.

[anthonydlangford]

What I loved most about this besides the incredible acting and writing was the fact that this major plot point wasn't spoiled. Macs, Iolo, Sion and company weren't even mentioned in the synopsis for today's show. You had no clue this was happening so when it did was completely shocked and blown away. When Gaynor just walked up and told Sion about the rape my mouth just hung open because I didn't see it coming. And that made it all the more powerful.

[Boslthrman]

@anthonydlangford Anthony, I love you madly, but I laughed how you spoiled the entire ep in your comment. Too funny.

[rivenrock]

I can't believe this conversation is happening between a dad and his adult son. I'm so impressed. This kind of situation is almost never shown in TV shows and they've handled it so well, with his dad facing the situation as soon as he was told about it, speaking to Macs openly about it, and giving him excellent advice and support. Fantastic!

[jhr459]

I know Macs is in pain, but he always brings in the 'gay' thing when Iolo is just trying to help him-that part pisses me off. Iolo is always there for him and he constantly mocks, attacks and belittles Iolo about this.

[tihkon2]

@jhr459

He's been raped. Cut him some slack.

[jhr459]

@tihkon2 - No.

[tihkon2]

@jhr459

wow, very understanding and empathetic person you are. Not.

[haojung]

Fifon is so doomed...

[IDH2008]

Iolo now needs to help Fifon with her alcoholism lol

[kdn1681]

I feel like I am missing something. How did that lady know Macs was raped? When did Iolo deduce that Macs was raped?

[jhr459]

@kdn1681 Macs told her himself in a moment at the school when he was really vulnerable. It was at the end of the school year and he refused to do something she asked him to do, she threatened him with termination and he broke down and told her. After he told her, he then threatened her if she told anyone and she kept it to herself til now.

[cyke90]

Can anyone tell me how the red haired lady knew. I must have missed that clip.

[jhr459]

@cyke90 - Macs told her himself in a moment at the school when he was really vulnerable. It was at the end of the school year and he refused to do something she asked him to do, she threatened him with termination and he broke down and told her. After he told her, he then threatened her if she told anyone and she kept it to herself til now.

[SIRinLTHR]

Iolo acted like a proper brother would, by wanting to run out and kill Scott. I am still wondering what happened on that whole night Macs was gone to Swansea. He told Sioned it was something to do with work.

[hookbell]

I know where Scott is...

He's working in the court room where Aaron is being tried in Emmerdale - check out the court room scenes :-D

[stratflower]

@hookbell LOL! i know right!!!! i've seen him too:)

[voyer149]

I hope that Macs can calm down a bit now that he knows he has some family support.

[Merima1978]

That's how a father should react to his child being raped, and Iolo reacted like a good friend as well.

[JesseLCH]

@Merima1978 .....except Macs is Iolo's brother......

[Merima1978]

@JesseLCH Yeah but being related doesn't always mean your there for each other, but if your friends too then you are.
