Gail is the queen of perpetual self-victimization. She's always blaming everyone else for what she's "forced" to do, when it's clearly her own choice. Any sane person would realize that they could gently break this news to Michael without causing him to have a flipping heart-attack and that doing so sooner rather than later would help to diminish the shock. Gail is a control-freak and an idiot.
ReplyDeleteIf silly thick little Katy hadnt insisted on her "right to have a baybay" while still a schoolgirl, then she could go off to Portugal without a backward glance but she did so she is responsible for another human being. Selfish dozy little girl that she is.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Sinead is still in hospital - she must be the soap character with the longest (realistic) hospital stay.
ReplyDeleteHow on earth did Emily "cause a rift"? It was Sean who brought it on himself. If conclusion jumping was an Olympic sport, he would have the gold medal.
ReplyDeleteWhy the assumption that moving abroad always leads to a better life? Will Katy be any less dozy in a warmer climate? IMO, sunshine is vastly over-rated.
ReplyDeleteForgetting real life for a moment, it's much better that Katy takes Joseph to Portugal. The actress got axed and there's no storyline for Joseph other than to be dumped on various relatives while Chesney and Sinead go to work. Far better to let the young couple lead normal 20 something lives. Chesney, in particular, is written as a fifty year old. The writers can't seem to give young characters anything other than babies - Faye will be next. Sophie and Maddie are young and single and could go to free rock concerts in the park but, apparently, they'd rather sit in the Rovers with the oldies. We don't have to see what the young adults get up to but we could hear them talk about it.
ReplyDeleteI have always thought it strange that young people on the street don't seem to have any friends. They all still live with their parents moving their girlfriend/boyfriend in with them. They don't appear to have any social lives hanging around in either the pub, Roy or Bistro with their parents. Doesn't seem very realistic to me. I find Chesney to be increasingly boring and dull. Like humpty said he is written like a fifty year old. He is another young person with no ambition or drive. I would really like to see 1 young person on the street get a decent education and go somewhere in life.
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth,I like Chesney and I don't think he's being portrayed as a fifty year old per see but a mature responsible young adult which is impressive considering his background with a neglectful mother.It's Katy who bugs me with her childish tantrums because she's not getting her way since Chesney won't let her take Joseph to Portugal.Yea she is his mother but Chesney as the father has rights too and yet that was never considered.I bet Katy will also make life difficult for Chesney until he gives in to her.
ReplyDelete@Anon 14:39 Completely agree. In fact, for me, Katy would be the mother from hell. Vacuous as the day is long.
ReplyDeleteWait, what? A personal trainer? Since when??? I thought her calling was to be a paramedic? Besides, anyone who's studying to be a personal trainer would be at the gym getting in shape... Right? Only thing I EVER see Kaytey lifting are pints and chips.
ReplyDeleteDiane well said! I was thinking the exact same thing. I used to work at a recreational facility in an administrative position. Believe me the personal trainers were university educated and very fit (men or women). Also very personable and friendly
ReplyDeleteLooks like some interesting story lines coming up...thanks from the Canadian viewers! Cheers...
