Excuse me ...?!? Simon Barlow at a church playgroup? What is he, five? Just as he was starting to be written as a teenager, they throw this at him. Frankly, the same goes for Amy and even Aldi. Shouldn't it have been Liam and that kid of Gary's whose name I can't even remember, he's on screen so rarely?
ReplyDeleteCobblestine,Gary's son is named Jake.Perhaps the playgroup would be good for Lily Platt too?
ReplyDeletePerhaps the playgroup is a youth group hence the reason for Amy and Simon being there?
Yes, clearly meant to be a "keep the kids busy during school hols" group, but badly researched and misnamed as "playgroup" which is only gfor toddlers. Billy didn't offer the kids any suitable activities, so no wonder they ran riot.
