Leanne is throwing good money after bad. How many attempts has Toyah made so far to get & stay pregnant?
ReplyDeleteHow ridiculous. Single mother with small baby GIVING away that kind of money! Leanne is not thinking at all here. Foolish decision.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, who is writing this tripe? Leanne, with 2 kids, hasn't even got a real place to live and she's going to hand over thousands of pounds for Peter and Toyah's IVF? Jeez, Peter is FIFTY, scrambling for money for yet another kid he can't support emotionally or financially. If he hasn't got his s**t together by now, when will he?
ReplyDeleteThis storyline just makes me angry. Toyah has been nothing but baby, baby, baby since she came back to the show. She cleaned out her husband spending money on IVF and now what? She'll bankrupt Peter and Leanne in the quest for an elusive child? She really is a pointless character.
I'm another one who is not only tiring of this storyline, but I hate the way it has been handled. Since this hasn't worked and apparently isn't going to, why can't they go another route now, like adoption? And I agree that it seems a bit absurd that Leanne, who now how no place to live, would just hand over that kind of money. The writers have forgotten that these are supposed to be working class people, not the uber rich.
