Arrggh more scenes of scowling Tina sticking her flaming oar in - why is Dopy David so keen to confide in her when she dobbed him in last time. Kylie and her fight over David - yawn - change the record writers.
ReplyDeleteWhy would Kylie or Tina even have given David a second look. If he was even good looking or had money, that might explain some of the attraction but he lives at home, has a menial job and is a bullying coward to boot! I'm looking forward to him being pushed around - but, it is dragging on.
ReplyDeleteAlso, how many times are they going to do the DNA test, who's the daddy storyline? I guess the writers thought 'well, it worked for Tyrone/Kevin/Molly, let's do it again'-this way, we won't have to try to come up with a plot - just dust that one off and bob's your uncle. Lazy IMO.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Kylie attracted to David? Well what was great about her when she arrived? Has a kid whose father she probably doesn't remember, sold Max to Steve and Becky and demanded more money and swanned off to become a pole dancer in another country before she met David.
ReplyDeleteYeah, perfect lifestyle.
Did anyone else find the "happy" cancer sufferer unbearable in last night's episode?
ReplyDeleteGreat to show a terminal sufferer of the disease determined to make the most of her time, but this one acted it like she had just won the lottery. No wonder Roy was so uncomfortable. I was too.
I new a fellow suffering from throat cancer. He was going into surgery about a month before he passed so they could remove the rest of his tongue. He would never speak again. "At least I'm not going to die" he explained. Denial right to the end. I don't think she was OTT - she just wasn't going to let cancer win - she'd beaten it and accepted her fate, such as it was.
ReplyDeleteThe one I found strange was her husband but maybe he was just putting on the 'brave' face for her benefit. Good episode - poor Roy.
It seemed to me that Jane and her husband were employing their own form of gallows humour. She explained that she had been depressed for awhile but it wasn't her nature, so she had reverted to her typical behaviour, which was cheerful and positive. It seemed that she and her husband had made a conscious choice to remain positive, which matches Hayley's attitude. Unfortunately for Roy, with his ineptitude with feelings and emotions, this is not something he can easily embrace. He's struggling with his attempt to support Hayley's choices. He can't help but see his future without her, and it terrifies him.
