Fix and Tyrone constantly rewarding and re-enforcing Herp's bad behaviour - wonder she's turning out to be the next serial killer. I've got money on her hitting puberty and killing Ruh-Beh. (Ruh-Beh is a very quiet child, always going upstairs while Herp gets all the attention - perhaps it'll be Rub-Beh that snaps and kills Herp... Either way, it'll be Fizrone's bad parenting to blame).
ReplyDeleteIf hope killed someone tyrone would just take her on holiday
DeleteHow do you suggest that Fiz and Tyrone parent Hope? I thought the scene between Fiz and Hope was sweet, and how Hope finally felt validated by being allowed to ask questions about her father as how everyone would be about their own parent. And, how Hope finally feels she is Hope Dobbs, signfiying that she is settling and was lashing out because her feelings were not addressed.
ReplyDeleteDavid Platt is not a serial killer even if he lived with Richard and have had a crazy upbringing. He turns out to be a decent person, and see how Gail parented him.
I don't know much about modern parenting but they do seem to be very indulgent towards Hope. I bet Evelyn would make a better job of it.
ReplyDeleteIf my hubby brought a pet home without discussing it with me first, I'd be furious, especially as there's a dog in the Dobbs house already!
We haven't seen David the dog, or Steve's dog for a long while.
Really irresponsible of Corrie to show a chinchilla being casually purchased as a pet like this - especially having seen other spoilers about how the story ends. Chinchillas are endangered animals which require specialist care and need to live in the company of others of their own kind. Picking one up from a pet shop without any research or preparation and bringing it home in an unsuitable small cage as shown in the spoiler pics is appalling - and the story doesn't even seem to be making the point that it is wrong! It just reinforces the idea that it is okay to trade in exotic species as pets like this. We should be moving away from that kind of trade, not normalising it, as it will simply cause more animals to suffer.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess that Hope is the one who "offed" Cilla the Chinchilla.....a budding serial killer, enabled by her well meaning but simple parents.
