I wish they'd bring back Ted! Also, what is it with that family and abortions?
Does anyone else find her incessant blinking annoying as hell?!
The blinking doesn't bother me, but did I miss an explanation as to why the kindly Ted disappeared from our screens?
I mean, there's the odd reference to Sarah, why not to Ted?
There wasn't really an explanation and he is mentioned from time to time. The actor just hasn't been available.
I love Gail. She is so misunderstood. With everything that has happened to her in her life no wonder she gets ratty sometimes!- Micky
I think Gails character is brilliant. Her misery is her greatest pleasure.
I'm with you Carol on the obsessive blinking...highly annoying! I'm surprised Norris hasn't made a sarcastic remark about it. Can you imagine if she was with Marc....eeeek, clenched teeth and frantic blinking.. :0
Anyone else think that Gail is channeling a certain mother-in-law that used to do the same thing to her.....Ivy.....
you wrote that she had 'blinders' on a few times in the character study - didn't you mean 'blinkers'?
Otherwise - very good, well done! John H
Why bring in a character that is going to be "unavailable" in time to come? Surely with all the actors out there...... I just find Gail uber irritating and no disrespect to Helen Worth who always seems quite pleasant - I think Gail is stale (that rhymes) and should be written out or given a 6 month sabbatical. Its just groundhog day with her and her sour old face.
Gail's character swings between old harridan and little girl's whispery voice. She's a good actress except when she speaks very, very softly to show she's emotional. (Speak up, girl, get a grip!)
She's around 50 so, as she matures, she becomes one of the matriarchs of the street. This is what the writers should concentrate on, looking beyond the family as she realises they're adults. She could volunteer in teenage mums unit or anything that shows she has a strong moral backbone, misguided though it may be sometimes.
Gail can also offer good comedy along with pal Sally. Together, they could be a mixture of Greek chorus and the ladies from 'Last of the Summer Wine.'
