Flip Flop Award: Gold Star: Kevin for letting Rosie mind the baby she forgot and got mixed up; and for giving Sally all his money even though he didn't have to. Trying to buy her love but it's too late.
Impatience award: Gold Star: Anna wants it to be happy families for Faye. Now every little thing Eddie does annoys her 5x more than it used to.
Silver Star: John is in too much of a hurry to get off his meds and back to work. He's only been out of hospital 5 minutes. It's no wonder he went off the rails so soon.
Yes he *could* sink lower award: Muck raking star: Kevin had no right to be upset his solicitor used Sally's affair in the hearing. He had to have heard it from Kevin first after all.
Fashion award: I loved Anna's "Wishes come true" tshirt!
Stylista award: Eddie's plaits!!
All better award: Gold Star: Peter was using a crutch last time we saw him and now he's not even limping!
Blown out of the water award: Gold Star: Just when Frank was going to sign the partnership deal, Maria has him arrested but it doesn't stick. I kind of thought that would happen.
Incapable Award: Gold Star: Gail "Capability" McIntyre? Really?
Silver Star: John couldn't handle the stress and he's gone right off the rails again.
Lines of the week:
Hayley "You must be shattered" Sylvia "Why? I sat on the bus, I didn't push it"
Tyrone "Meat and potato pie" Sylvia "Yes, you don't look the salad type. Sit!"
Sylvia "I can't rattle around in this bone shaker another minute. You're like Eddie the Eagle!" Hayley "He was a skier not a driver" Sylvia "Precisely!" (HA!)
Sally "...unless he's (Kevin) gone home, filled the bath with cash and got in for a wallow" Gail "I got a bottle of white in the fridge?" Sally "Shall we get a scratch card on the way?" :)
Roy about his mother "Rude is her default setting"
Sylvia again: "Excessive displays of emotion make me nauseous" (And that explains Roy in a nutshell)
Gail "People tell me things, I've got that sort of face" (there's really nothing I can add to that)
It might have been background music in the bistro but it sounded like Church music!
Frosty's Awards:
ReplyDeleteDelusional Employee Award: Gail turning up in one of her many multi coloured very untrendy blazers expecting the bar managers job with minimal experience of bar/restaurant work, rotas, odering, wine knowledge, costings etc and er not exactly good people skills, she would turn the Sancerre into Sarsons in a week.
Most Babyish 30 year old Award: Nick always kissing his mummy and granny before he goes to work, I don’t know of any 30 year old men that live with their mums that do that?
Most sanctimonious do-gooder award: Where does Hayley get off in pressurising Roy’s estranged mother who he hasn’t seen for years and has no relationship at all, to give up her place in the nursing home and go and live with them without even a bye your leave? The home looked clean and respectable, she had her own room, now she is expected to share living arrangements in a cramped flat over the shop lat and help in the café. Not exactly a life enhancing experience.
Put your head in the sand award: The ever more annoying Fiz not taking the solicitors phone calls, it was pretty obvious he would call round if she didn’t respond – dah!
Strangest way to conduct business dealings award: Frank and Carla agreeing they made a “brilliant team” eh, since when, they haven’t even worked together yet? I was hoping this was going to be the end of DI Manson.
Hurtful and Tactless Award: Audrey asking Hayley if she could “throw any light” on the (boring) cross dressing debacle. Bit of a personality change as Audrey is usually the epitome of common sense and would not normally be so insensitive... But I suppose this is just to “remind” us all of Hayley’s sexuality prior to the old battleaxe mother in law finding out all about it.
Excellent awards Frosty. Very astute. I like Sylvia, but Hayley's role in her introduction is completely unbelievable. Hayley is more sympathetic to Sylvia, a complete stranger, than Roy. It's clear that Roy and Sylvia do not get on, but Hayley invites her to live with them?!?!
ReplyDeleteTHE JOANNA LUMLEY AWARD FOR TIRESOME MOANING
ReplyDeleteGold Star: Gail. Whinge about Kevin, whinge about Todd, whinge about Eileen...when will she shut up and realise that she's the only person who likes the sound of her own voice?
Silver Star: Sally. Whilst the moaning may be justified, her spiteful outburts about Kevin are becoming a little bit boring.
THE BLANCHE HUNT AWARD FOR MALICIOUS YET VERY TRUE PUTDOWNS
Sylvia. She is quickly becoming one of my favourite characters with her quick wit and sharp insults.
THE TREVOR MCDONALD AWARD FOR BREAKING IMPORTANT NEWS BADLY
Eddie. Could there be a clumsier method of announcing the death of someone's mother?!
Well said Apple, agree with it all. Id add "Continuing Continuity Cock Ups Award" to the crew; Has Gail forgotten her dad is gay (although he is never acknowledged anymore), she cud do with another slap off eileen but id gladly do it.
ReplyDelete2nd - the terrible character transformation of Eddie just to get rid of him (which is a shocking decision in its own right)
3. Who is on the switch at streetcars? Cheryl for one episode and then she's applying to be bar manager?!
4. Chesney was raking it in on the market and now cant even afford a take away?!
I could go on but since the tram crash it has been poor I hate to say, without Sally, Norris and Mary (who is woefully underused) and now Slyvia (thank god) the comedy would be virtually nil
The fastest 100m walk on the street: Peter! John couldn't even keep up with him! Strange.
