Roy's bed hasn't been slept in??? Pretty sure Roy makes his bed with army corners the second he gets out of it, so how would Carla know?
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I think the young actress who plays Amy Barlow can only portray one emotion - anger. That's fine for stroppy teenage sulks but not when your grandma is comforting you when you're upset about being 14 and preggers. Amy was struggling to force a tear out. It was painful to watch. Actors should be able to portray a range of emotions.If you can't, you won't convince the audience- it's as simple as that.
ReplyDeleteHere we go again with the ever present teenage pregnancy. First Sarah, then Anna's girl now Amy...why do the writer's turn to well worn story lines instead of coming up with something new and original?
