ReplyDeleteI was just wondering why Faye and Anna would be at the Platts, surely they would opening presents with Kevin and Jack.
As for Shona, been there done that.
I suppose that now Gary and Sarah are an item, Anna and Faye will have to be more friendly with the Platts?
ReplyDeleteBilly the vicar has been a totally unconvincing character. I really don't like how this actor is portraying a vicar who seems lost in his calling.
ReplyDeleteI wondered why Gary was opening presents at the Platts instead of with Izzy and their son Jake?
ReplyDeleteIt seems that Jake has been forgotten in favour of Sarah and her family.
I believe Gary mentioned Jake. Sounded like he'd been there earlier. Or perhaps the day before. For all we know, Izzy and Jake are visiting their family in Spain or Portugal. Or visiting Owen wherever he is.
