See, I knew Alex couldn't be trusted. I wish they would write this character out, he just doesn't gel.
I'm looking forward to Roy being back and the reunion of Roy and Cathy. I love them together. I was hoping it would be a bit more of a happy reunion after three and a half months apart, but this sounds like Roy walks into a drama. I can't wait to see what unfolds.
Anonymous 15:23 - I agree completely about Alex. The cast is too big as it is without adding more characters.

I also agree with the aforementioned comments about Alex and think it's him and Cathy who owe Roy an apology!
As in the case when Gary robbed from him, Roy wrongfully is portrayed as the villain when Alex is the one who needs to learn respect for others and responibility for his actions.
I also agree with the aforementioned comments about Alex.
If anyone deserves an apology it's Roy from Alex and Cathy.
As in the case with Gary,Roy is again portrayed as the villain and it's not right.Alex needs to learn to respect him.
Great scene between Eileen and Jason in the graveyard.
