It looks like Sarah is all prepared to up sticks and hop on a plane back to Milan, because obviously moving country at a moment's notice is not at all difficult. As we saw in Monday's episode, David has reverted to his former psycho demeanour after telling Bethany that Callum threatened to come back and murder her in a desperate bid to keep the secret of the sleeping lodger. He also dropped in a casual threat to Sarah that he and Kylie will frame her for murder if she stays.
However, Kylie can see that this is a ridiculous scheme. She gives Sarah a few candid home truths. I'm sure to most of us, it was obvious that moving to Italy permanently would be a rash and ill-thought out decision. Sarah doesn't have a job or even a home to go to. A big concern is also what Sarah may also let slip to anyone once she is there. Kylie persuades her to only go to Italy for a holiday. As well as to visit the also holidaying Gail and take her 'jazzy' dress to her. Goodness only knows what Gail is getting up to in Italy!
Kylie is doing a great job at dishing out the home truths tonight (yet another grand performance by Paula Lane). In an emotional outburst, she asks David the fundamental question "What about me?" She's right. David has been concentrating on keeping Sarah quiet, without giving Kylie, the actual murderer, a second thought. Hopefully Sarah's fortnight in Italy will give this storyline time to progress further and focus on who is arguably the most important person in the Platt clan right now.

Elsewhere, Audrey and Ken grow closer with the ever-so-thoughtful Ken presenting Audrey with the ever-so-Ken gift of an antique radio after hearing that the one in the salon was broken. Audrey thanks him with a slap-up lunch at the Bistro, where the connect over classical music. I am very much warming to the idea of these two together. I am sure Deirdre is lighting a fag up in the sky for them. Connornation Street continues with more riveting drama as Jonny makes a prize ass of himself when he tries to sew.

Overall, a fantastically enjoyable episode. Jonathan Harvey's episodes are always so.
As always, thanks for reading.

Very good performances from Tina O'Brien and Paula Lane once again!!
ReplyDeleteBoy, if I was Kylie I'd be doing the happy dance, having that creep out of her life for good. She's stronger than what she's being portrayed now, so the writers better stop turning her into a pile of mush with David the psycho the only one that seems to be making sense!
ReplyDeleteHow the tables have turned when David's turned out to be the sensible one, psycho or not!
ReplyDeleteAs for Ken and Audrey...is it not too soon? Everyone has been saying the same thing about Roy and Cathy being too soon, and Hayley's been gone much longer than Deirdre has.
Although I really like the pairing, it just feels too soon.
And right there is why Ken and Audrey would never work. Ken and Dierdre had very few tastes in common either, but they had history, and as much passion as Ken has ever mustered. There's only acquaintanceship history between Audrey and Ken, and that's not really enough.
ReplyDeleteI think Kylie will regret Sarah's return as she's bound to confess the rest to Billy,implicating her sister-in law while getting away scott free!In fact if I were Kylie,I wouldn't trust Sarah visiting her mother and uncle in Milan,who knows what she could be telling them thus setting up David or Kylie for the fall thus ruining David;s life which was her plan from the beginning when she started dating Callum.
ReplyDeleteAgree about the 'too soon' comments, and I am exasperated that the solution to every bereavement in soap is the inevitable romantic pairing with someone else. I was also puzzled by Kylie's reaction to Sarah's departure, it just didn't sound credible, based on their relationship in the past. And it makes more sense to get jittery Sarah out of the picture.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't Ken and Audrey work at becoming very good friends? Both could use someone reliable to have a good laugh and serious conversation with. Why does it always have to go the route of dating??
