Grandma Linda takes Joseph to half term activity club, to Gemma's joy and Nanna Bernie's annoyance. I am enjoying the (class) war between these two: if only Wendi Peters could be persuaded to come back for a three way - granny argument, that is. I do wonder if TPTB wanted to bring back Owen rather than Linda, but Ian Puleston-Davies said no? Anyhoo, two of the quads, the ones that aren't Aled, are ill, so Joseph is kicked out of his room (not sure where Joseph sleeps? In the den in the back yard?) and Linda says he can stay with her in the hotel, which further aggravates Bernie, and then suggests Joseph go live with her in Portugal. Escape, Joseph! Escape while you still can! Of course, Chesney goes ballistic and kicks Linda out and Bernie too takes the opportunity to have a go at her. You'd think he'd be happy with one less mouth to feed: it is a bit like The Family From One End Street at no. 5. Joseph, misconstruing a conversation with Gemma, announces that he wants to go live in Portugal. So would I if I could pastel de nata every day.
I can understand David not wanting his kid to end up in
Kevin has an indecent proposal for Abi - a trip in a campervan to Bridlington in February. Three nouns to strike fear into any woman's heart. I wonder if the aquarium with the depressed fish is still there in Brid? Meanwhile, Abi, Sally and Sean crash Toyah and Imran's engagement celebration and after an aborted game of I Have Never, Abi ends up confessing her infidelity to her best pal Sal.
Lousy Lydia pretends she's been crying and start blubbing about her "married" "boyfriend" to Sarah, who passes this onto Adam. I'm getting a bit bored of this storyline now and want the reveal already.
And finally, Stu buys a jaunty cap with his wages and tries to offer Tracy un petit verre du vin in the pub, but she just insults hum ("Better than a meth 'n' tonic"). Glad to see the return of Toxic Trace! Stu tells Jenny that Tracy needs to be taken down a peg or two. You come at the Queen, you best not miss, Stu! He decides to nick Tracy's wine delivery off of her front doorstep, which seems like a bad idea. Incidentally, what kind of wine company takes two months to send a box of Xmas booze?

Have they changed cameras again? It looked very different last night, more filmic.
Please please can we get rid of Sean? His earwigging on private conversations is so unsubtle, and he was positively nasty at the engagement party. Being homeless certainly didn't teach him to appreciate his neighbours.
Sean used to be seen as the good friend of Eileen and her family. The character had some depth but now the little we see of him is OTT. Sean doesn't have any connections so he's reduced to being one of the crowd in the pub or the factory. It isn't just the script, it's also the actor. Perhaps he feels he should make a memorable performance otherwise the audience will forget who he is.
