I've always liked the Webster family, but I was concerned about where the storyline might end up after Molly's death in the tram crash. Rumour had it that Kevin and Sally would end up reconciled and bringing up baby Jack as part of the family. How dull, I thought - we deserve something better after all those months of Molvin awfulness.
And it does seem like we're getting it. Kevin and Sally are at each other's throats, and it's bringing the best out of Sally Dynevor and Michael le Vell. At last Kevin's got something more to do than wipe his hands on an oily rag. I really like how he's turned a bit heavy, lamping Tyrone, demanding a divorce, shouting the odds right left and centre and bringing the estate agent in to value the house and so forth. Also enjoying his little moments with Rita. I'm still hoping that he does a Steptoe and Son and constructs a dividing wall down the middle of the house.
Horrible for "the girls" though. It will be interesting to see how Sophie and Rosie react as things develop.
Overall I'm pretty convinced that it's a love-hate situation - Sally's due to have a fling but I'm betting it will be a short-lived ego-boost and I think the Webster's will end up back together eventually.
