She's lived abroad, has raised a child and is able to stand on her own feet. Be interesting to see why she is returning. It would be nice to see the families argue without all the screaming and shouting, it's tiring and over used.What happened to humor and witty lines, need more of those around the bar, Jack and Betty threw some Donna - Halifaxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-80019280355867153732013-01-20T18:42:40.174+00:002013-01-20T18:42:40.174+00:00It's lost its community feel.

He talks about keeping it up to date and "urban" so it will be interesting to see if this show starts to reflect the recent trend for more and more people in Manchester sliding into poverty.
