Poor Roy ��
Can Anna forgive Roy?? For pummeling her delinquent idiot of a son who broke into the cafe to steal from Anna's friend and employer? Ridiculous!
Does Roy have any previous criminal convictions? If not, how could he possibly end up with anything beyond probation and possible mandatory counselling or anger-management? This situation has "mitigating circumstances" written all over it.
Anon 2:08, lmao!
...."Norris wonders if the white apparition is Blanche's ghost"????? Oh come on, as if!!
The whole Norris has seen Blanche's ghost sounds about as exciting and interesting as the time Vera saw Ivy's ghost
I mean you can't introduce an actual ghost on to the show so there's only one real conclusion to this story so what's the point? Other than making Norris look like an idiot
I don't call what Roy did "unreasonable force" in the least. If I owned a business and saw someone trespassing after hours, I'd have done the very same thing as Roy.
Why is Andrea accessing the Street Cars bank account? Everything is online, so Lloyd could easily do it and she is not part of the business. They are really contriving stories just to keep her in it. The situation is ridiculous.
And this Roy /Gary thing is ludicrous. Can Anna forgive Roy? What? Lame-brain Gary is a thief, a despicable person who would steal from their neighbor. I don't care how much pressure he was under. No excuses and zero sympathy for this waste of space character.
Roy is innocent! Its self-protection!
Anna: I didn't think she could get any more annoying. She should be begging for Roy's forgiveness and hoping he doesn't fire her sanctimonious behind.
Sinead: Aaaahhh, I thought she was smarter than she is now being portrayed. She had to have known that Roy was being bullied and how the heck did she know that it was Gary? He had his hood covering his face. To tell the police that Roy was culpable and leave out the other pertinent facts has now put her on my "Annoying Character, must leave show soon" list.
Ayla: shaking my head as there are no words to express my dumbfoundedness about this absolutely idiotic storyline. She may exit stage right.
Andrea: did I hear correctly when she said "our drivers"? Is she one of the owners now? Why oh why wouldn't Lloyd take her with him to Spain.
Oh Amy! You little star, 'I see dead people' such deadpan humor, a real Tuesday Addams. Loved seeing her wind up Norris.
@Anon 2:08 Roy was once arrested and charged with kidnapping Wayne Hayes, but I believe the charges were dropped. (Does anyone here remember for sure?) At any rate, it's not his first time in prison.
Wonderful scene with Amy confessing supernatural goings-on at the Barlow's to Norris...haha, 'I see dead people'...and the look on Norris' face. Almost took my mind off that increasingly annoying Andrea and what was she doing going over the Streetcar accounts anyway!!......she could have shown Eileen how to access them as she did get the password from Llyod...but she certainly had no business going through them herself as if she were a part-owner. Oh, I don't like her at all.
Yes - this story is stupid. Anna's reaction in particular is beyond belief
