Not looking forward to spiteful Sean laying into the 80 something genteel Emily. Someone ought to punch this moron's lights out.
ReplyDeleteI am almost sorry that evil Gavin is being killed off, he should have hung around the Street and become the next serial killer - LOL!
with any luck, Gavin won't have had the chance to cash Gail's cheque yet!
ReplyDeleteWonder if Gail & GAndy will register real-Gavin's death as 'Andy' so that GAndy can continue being Andy officially in a fraudulent way? Try saying that when you're drunk!
ReplyDeleteProving Zeedan is worthless...you're going to be mean to a little kid? Dude...move on. Join the military like your dad and get off the street.
ReplyDeleteLet me guess. Gavin's heart is transplanted into Michael and they all live happily ever after. Methinks an obvious plot device.
ReplyDeleteThe guy that was just back from Thailand and spurned by his father was much more menacing and nasty than the supposed menacing and nasty drug dealer Callum.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else irritated by the way Callum speaks? He emphasises different vowels making popping sounds "Macccssss". :) Another irritant by this useless character
How does this moron Sean keep getting stories? He is ridiculous, and when since has he ever been interested in the church. Billy is far better and too good for him.
ReplyDeleteGlad I am away tonight, can fast forward his scenes when catching up.
Not that long ago, Sean was described as the moral compass of the street. Where did that go? It seems that a lot of people on that street rush to judgement about other people, without waiting to get all the facts, then have to backtrack and apologize, but they never seem to learn a lesson from their mistakes.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I understand Emily's explanation of just being a traditionalist in her faith. Does that mean she really doesn't approve of the gay vicar but is not verbalizing it, or does she not approve of the comedy night? I honestly don't get it.
ReplyDeleteEmily reckons her vicar's private life is his own business, not hers. She just didn't find a comedy night to be her cup of tea, really not something she would enjoy at all.
ReplyDeleteHow could Leanne be both at Faye's birthday party AND holding the fort for GAndy and Steph at the Bistro?
ReplyDeleteSinead must surely win the prize for the longest stay in soap hospital. They're usually on deaths door in one episode and back at work the next.
