Reception
For his portrayal of Dave, Kelsey was nominated for "Most Popular Newcomer" at the 1995 National Television Awards. At the 1996 Inside Soap Awards the love triangle between Dave, Kim and Frank was awarded "Best Soap Plot". A What's on TV columnist named Dave as one of "The Top 100 Soap Hunks of All Time". A columnist from Inside Soap said that Dave and Kathy would have fond memories of their wedding day. The pair had smiles "of genuine joy, and they have all but buried their miserable pasts". They also opined that Kathy married "the love of her life" and Dave always knew she "was the only girl for him". A columnist from Hello said Dave was "romantically-challenged", while Paul English of the Daily Record and Emily Smith of The Sun branded him "ultimately heroic" and a "randy farm manager" respectively. Inside Soap's Victoria Ross said the Kim-Dave-Kathy love triangle was one of Emmerdale's most successful plots ever.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
