ROB FEELS THE WALLS CLOSING IN. With No.1 declared a crime scene, and being

Marcus works for the public sector and he would not be just suspended for too much time off. It would have been addressed first to see if there was a problem. But all this is engineered to Charlie Condu leaving. Toad becomes more comical the more "horrid" he tries to be in my mind.
ReplyDeleteFurther to David Parsnips, Marcus would get a verbal warning and nothing else to start with. Don't think that's happened yet. Suspension is used where there has been misconduct. Still, this story is in the same fantasy land where businesses and homes are transferred on a handshake, and sick people soldier on with only the love of their family. It annoys me because it would be so easy to make Marcus's exit authentic. He eventually asks for a transfer to another post in the Health Authority far away from the Street.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to see Marcus go, utter waste of a good character/actor. I wish Charlie C all the best and look forward to seeing him in new roles.
ReplyDeleteThe whole Eileen Gail feud has become just Eileen bullying and being spiteful towards Gail and Gail showing as a pathetic victim as usual
ReplyDeleteI completely agree Rosie. Marcus was a very believable character and down to earth too. Shame they messed up one of the more likeable ones and decided it was time for him to go. I would have preferred Marcus to stay and Todd to go.
