Pushy parents, athlete's foot cream and the hand of friendship
Be warned,Dev! Your boy may well play a mean round of golf, but he's very young and when he hits his teens other interests may well take over. Sunita's attitude to her son's success is healthier but then she has other matters on her mind.
A challenger for the kindest person on the Street must be Kirk whose athlete's foot cream masquerading as toothpaste experience can only endear the viewer further to the wonder that is Kirk.
Fiz too must be in the running for one of the kindest people ever to appear on the Street, raising her odds tonight after offering the hand of friendship to Kirsty, who is successfully alienating herself from her new workmates. Does the woman have no self-awareness? Why on earth would she make such detrimental comments about the low-brow nature of their conversation? Besides, everybody, even brain surgeons talk trivia sometimes and there's nothing wrong with that. What would Kirsty like to talk about? The philosophy of Wittgenstein, the operas of Verdi or the novels of Proust? She's obviously marking herself out as a superior being. The writers then very skilfully shifted our sympathies in Kirsty's favour by means of the brilliant line: 'I'm so used to aggro, I get my retaliation in first.' What a superb creation she is! Whenever she's on screen, she is mesmerising! It will be exciting to see where the writers take her.

Is it just me or has Fiz taken on Haley's persona.
The whole Kirsty working in the fakry business is totally ridiculous - she cant have been just sacked on the spot she would be suspended on full pay pending an investigation and she would not be allowed to work anywhere else in the meantime. But every woman has to have a turn at working at this antiquated place of business. I wish the writers would get into the real world.
Please can we remove that last sentence at Anonymous 02.18.
Done, well spotted HD, I missed that.
The line about getting your retaliation in first seems straight out of the bumper book of clichés to me. Kirsty is an intriguing character but I’m rapidly losing interest. Smacking Tirone in the kisser with a ladle does not mean she’s evil and so has to don a black hat and go around being thoroughly horrible to everyone, just in case anyone should forget she’s meant to be a baddie. Even Tirone has sufficient brain cells to realise there might be something a teensy bit wrong with someone who absolutely no-one else likes.
