I really don't like third party interference in couples' relationships. Thus I detest the Will/Michelle thing and also the Sophie/Kate thing.
ReplyDeleteTerrible storylines. Will and Sophie should keep their nebs out.
What's the betting Michelle will have a "pregnancy scare" in a few week's time? Yawn.
ReplyDeleteNot from just an injudicious snog!
DeleteBut at least no "Who's the Daddy?" because she resisted Will in the end. Stupid storyline though, as if they'd been pining for each other for 26 years. Also doesn't fit with Dean, Ryan's father, being the love of.her life.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone think that they are setting Phelan up as the next person murdered? They are certainly making a nice line up of suspects...
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking just that for some weeks now. He's building up quite a portfolio of enemies.
DeleteMaybe I'm wrong about this but didn't Michelle pressure Steve to get a vasectenomoy?If that's the case,perhaps that's how the affair is revealed.
ReplyDeleteI'm also bored with Michelle's crying scenes as she does not get my sympathy especially after she accused Steve of having' blood on his hands'when Tina was murdered because he kept quiet about her affair with Peter,an accusation which led to his depression.
Caz on crutches so she can make a dramatic recovery - so boring! Why couldn't they do something more dramatic with her accident like have a 'horrendous' facial scar like Todd's ;)
ReplyDeleteAnon 1604: Steve did indeed have a vasectomy when Michelle had a pregnancy scare some years ago, though I never understood why she didn't want a baby. But in this case it would have to be an immaculate conception because she didn't sleep with Will!
ReplyDeleteHate the Sophie/Caz/Kate storyline! Does anyone know what "Caz" is short form for? I find Kate extremely immature and incapable of making any kind of decision on her own. How old is she supposed to be - does anyone know? In my humble opinion I think Kate acts like she is frightened of Caz. Sophie needs to back off and mind her own business!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of backing off - if silly Sally doesn't settle down and stop nagging at Tim her marriage will break up. I have been married a lot longer than Sally, decades longer, and wouldn't dream of treating my husband like she does. By the way my husband is awesome. I think Sally's political career is going to blow up in her face. She doesn't have a clue what she is doing.
Caz = Carol usually
ReplyDeleteWhat an especially boring episode. Time I'll never get back! :-(. Won't be watching for a while. Only good thing was the handsome Will. But Michelle was boring, the Sophie-Kate-Caz love triangle is incredibly boring.... does anyone care at all? As for Phelan, the actor playing him is good but I'm getting bored of him --- enough already...
