I fear the opportunity for some great comedy with Beth and Tracy living together has now been quoshed as boring as watching paint dry Kevin Wobster is moving in with his strange staring child. WHY?
ReplyDeleteNick and Leanne are just going to up and leave with a child that isn't theirs? Sure. Don't call the cops or anything Peter ... what a waste of a good character. He used to have a pair.
ReplyDeleteThe I am leaving Weatherfield mantra being trilled yet again, we all know she isnt what is the point of saying it, like Eileen before her?
ReplyDeleteI'm not understanding this situation where Leanne can call all the shots, no matter how small, regarding Simon. I know she has temporary custody, but surely Peter would have been given considerable visitation rights, etc. but she's acting as if he is a psychopathic axe-murder. Does Leanne have to throw those teenage looks everytime Carla or Peter do or say something she's not happy with! As if Nick would up and leave the Bistro which he just started up....not as if he has a stash of money lying about.....and yes wouldn't the courts have something to say about Leanne up and leaving with Simon?
ReplyDeleteHave to say the Sports Day was a welcome break....very funny. Great to see Lloyd, Steve and Eileen back together where they belong in the cab office! The highlight of that episode was when Lloyd told Tracy Steve despised her.
LOL!! Frosty....Kevin Wobster and his staring child.....
It's very insulting that the writers treat us this way. We know that Leanne would never be allowed to disappear with Simon - even if she was his birth mother. And if Peter wanted to play dirty, he could come up with some allegation against Nick. We don't have stories anymore; it's all plot devices. Tptb needed to find a way to write out Peter and Carla for a few months, and to hell with authenticity.
ReplyDeleteEastEnders do these things so much better. Most of the time they don't explain cast absences and why is it necessary? Kirk has been missing for months, Dr Carter is rarely seen.... They could just say Peter is at York races or Carla is in Scotland meeting a client, if events arise where their absence needs to be explained.
