A Roy de javu they had on our local tv station this morning an episode from 2002 where Roy had received a phone call stating that his grandfather had just died and he was contemplating seeing his father after all these years - the circle does stay close. And how can Gloria lie straight in bed at night going off on little shopping sprees buying cashmere items and sitting there while her daughter is off scrubbing bistro floors trying to earn some money - but that's Gloria only looks after herself - I'm surprised she hasnt walked out and gone off to spain before the others found out she has some dosh in the bank.... but that's soaps for you. Will she help pay for the renovations she could be a silent partner
ReplyDeleteGary and Tina bury their "awful" secret? What's that then that he tried to give her a kiss while feeling emotional having returned for a reunion for his dead friend? Plurrrsee, taking about over exaggeration and why is Tina acting like Lady Macbeth over it, involving the dim witted Tommy? GET OVER IT!
ReplyDeleteShe might have the cash, but Gloria could NEVER be a "silent" partner!
ReplyDeleteI agree Frosty. They are making WAY too much out of a kiss that NEVER happened. And dimwitted Tommy is right. He serves no purpose on this show. They should have dumped him after he dumped Tina.
ReplyDeleteThey keep trying to make Tina this strong young woman, who does what's right blah blah blah. In effect, the character is the biggest dope on the show. Knowing Tommy for two months and taking on all his debt and ruining lives in the process. Not just bad writing, but really annoying writing.If she ends up going for the Gary the Ticking Time Bomb, that will be the icing on the
cake of incompetent writing.
