The thing is with Van*ty (and I love both characters) is that their relationship feels so hollow. The writing feels kinda sachrine because there’s no effort (writing wise) behind the relationship. The quickest way to investment is have them fight for each other against the internal obstacles in their relationship. They’re so different and yet Emmerdale writes them almost in this bland homogeneous way. Their differences are played as like minor quirks. Every time they approach conflict, it’s swerved. They underplay it, gloss over it. They never clash in a real way. And Charity’s mess is the most interesting part of her as a person. But in this relationship it’s so muted. I don’t hate them, I just find the writing so lazy and generic.
