It is in her genes after all. Quads does happen, so after 60 years of no quads, the show finally have them, isn't it bit realistic? <br /><br />I agree - a lot of our classic characters today are from around that era. Roy, Leanne, Toyah, Fiz, Tyrone, Eileen etc. They are now what Gail, Rita, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-16794966343985674452021-01-14T15:23:51.763+00:002021-01-14T15:23:51.763+00:00This is a great read and spot on.
