Although I'm no fan of Phelan,I am glad that a customer will finally tell Alex off for being hung over and giving bad service to customers.
Roy gives him a job as a favour to Cathy and in return Alex shows little respect thus endangering Roy's business in the process.
It's not fair that Roy is stuck with an irssponible employee just because he's Cathy's nephew and a part of the 'package deal' should he and Cathy get married.
The thing is, Alex is a grown man. If he needs constant attention, it should be down to his mother to look after him.
I agree. I am tired of the Alex character. It's going nowhere and he is just annoying at this point. Cathy allowing him to walk all over Roy just because he's her nephew is stupid. He's very disrespectful and a liar and adds nothing to the show.
I agree with all of the comments above. Alex is a liability and Roy is kind enough to put up with him. Like any other employee he should pull his weight or be sacked.
Are we supposed to like Beth? Personally I can't stand her, how Craig turned out to be such a lovable, kind lad is beyond me. Beth is loud, rude and doesn't have an ounce of class. I quite like Kirk and feel sorry that he is lumbered with a witch like her.
I agree with anon above, I have never warmed to harridan caricature Beth. She's vicious and mean, and thoroughly unlikable, so it's not surprising she is friends with Tracy. Her only redeeming feature is her love for her son.
Did I miss something or was the Alex scene cut?
Robert and Nick weren't much better, and they don't have Down's syndrome holding them back. Since Leanne had a line of credit with Ken and they both wanted her back, I wish she had negotiated a share for herself. For a lady with street smarts, it was a painful miss.
looks like the Alex scene was cut - did the new рroducer have her say?
I thought I'd missed something too, I don't remember Phelan saying anything to Alex at all. ??????
I'm sorry if it was cut because it might have shown that Alex was a realistic character, manipulative and selfish like his mother. I hope it wasn't because of worries about viewer complaints. More reasonable would be the fear that Phelan would be revealed as a bully.
