Hm Nick is 3O - Erica is the same age as Gail - late fifties/early 60s - bit tacky if you ask Frosty. Why is Gavin still hanging around Moaning Michael if he is not his real son, its not like he is rich or anything. Dont really see the point of it all.
ReplyDeleteEither he feels he somehow has an obligation to the real Gavin, it will be interesting when their history is revealed. Or I think more likely he is lonely, down on his luck, and is attracted to being part of a family.
ReplyDelete'Gavin' has got stuck with one lie after another. I'm guessing the real Gavin has got all the voice mail messages and has chosen to ignore them. Wonder if the stress of the reveal will cause Michael to have a fatal heart attack.
ReplyDeleteFrosty, I think I detect a double standard. First, Nick is 34, not 30, (played by an actor who is almost 42 and looks even older). Erica is supposed to be in her early 50's, not 60's, (played by an actress who is 51), so there's less than 20 years between them in the program, and in real life it's less than 10. If the sexes were reversed and it was the man who was this much older would you find it so tacky? I suspect not.
ReplyDeleteAnoynymous,I don't know about Frosty but I did think it was tacky when Tracy was with Dev and he was much older than her and she even made a play for her grandmother's boyfriend too!
ReplyDeleteThat being said,considering how the Platts are already dominating stroylines to the exclcusion of other characters,I don't think Nick as someone's 'toy boy' was really necessary right now.
So Erica invites herself to stay at the Rovers and now is treating it as a knocking shop! Doenst Amy live there? Have these dreadful women no regard for others? If I were Steff I would tell Nick to stuff his Bistro that he seems to have no interest in. Perhaps its time for a change of ownership.
