First Dennis pretends he was 'homless'to manipulate Rita to take him back and now Nick is faking seizures to make Leeanne feel guilty?!Funny Nick certainly didn't feel 'guilty for sleeping with Kylie.How low are the writers willing to go for storylines?!
ReplyDeleteCould they possibly make Nick a bigger D-Bag? The whole grabbing his head routine has grown impossibly old. This was such a serious topic in the beginning, I wish they had showcased this type of injury with more intelligence and reality. They've never had in him real therapy (the gym certainly does not count) and now they have him making a mockery out of it, using his injury like a petulant child. Instead of garnering empathy and understanding, this character is now an annoyance, embarrassing to watch and just a downright nasty person.
ReplyDeleteEvery time he is on screen, we're just wishing and hoping someone gives him a proper thumping. That's what it has come down to in our household.
On the Kirk and Beth front...sorry but who chucks away a kebab in the bin because you are watching your diet? Any normal, real person would box it up and take it home. That was just bad writing to create a silly scene. C'mon writers, get yourselves together.
Zagg,
ReplyDeleteWhat you said!
Nick is boring, irritating and frankly pathetic. If the writers think Nick's behaviour is funny or interesting they are sorely deluded. Its almost as if they are making a joke of those that have suffered serious head injuries. A pap.
ReplyDeleteJust how many irritating characters can one soap have?
ReplyDeleteNick behaves like a rather camp spoilt child channeling Kenneth Williams, Max suddenly acquired OCD, Fay, Amy and often Simon are all brattish kids. Kal's mother is a cartoon shrew, not to mention Tracie, Michelle and Dev, who have made irritation into an art form.
On a brighter note I loved the line about "keep the music down or she'll go under the table and relieve herself". Who else thought for a moment Ken meant Emily next door?
And did anyone else notice Chesney cover for Kirk when he forgot to say his line? There was a pause and then Chesney said something like "yes, it's a long story"... but he wasn't with Kirk and Beth when the ring got lost and was hearing it for the first time.
