Audrey was worried about what her friends would think and Marc was awkward with his horrible outfit. I really feel like that's what sunk the longevity of this storyline.

Instead of feeling sympathy for the character, I wanted to throw a brick at his face. <br /><br />As Julie Birchill pointed it out, the whole thing was preachy.

Sue Nicholls is a producers dream. They can literally throw anything at her and she pulls it off. It is completely realistic that she would fall for Marc.

He wasn't trying to live life as a woman as a trans-gender person would.

Agreed about the costuming, though; no way would anyone of means go out like that when clearly they could have afforded better.

I just didn't like the actor and i hated the wig and clothes. I don't know as there will be much more to the storyline though as I thought Friday's episodes were pretty much the end of it.Tvorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414660140541680599noreply@blogger.com
