(Ryan, paralysis, Jenna come to mind.) I never took her flirtations with Christianity too seriously. They seemed like the efforts of a 20-year old to find meaning in a meaningless world. She forms part of a pack with characters like Ken, Todd, and Chesney, who had the potential to pursue a life outside the Street, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-85059652585538410062015-06-16T16:22:45.095+01:002015-06-16T16:22:45.095+01:00Jenny was heart breaking.

In a similar way to Anna, in that you're probably meant to see the different sides to the character but they just come across as totally unsympathetic.

He has Julie, Mary and now Talisa. His best story was the Mad Maya plot and Dev is always better with the serious stuff as he is a good dramatic actor but tends to overplay comedy. Surrounding him with sub-Victoria Wood caricatures does him no favours.

He said that men would also appreciate the lingerie. Although he was being a little bit tacky, her interpretation of it that he was coming on to her was far-fetched. He was right in saying that she was unprofessional. A businesswoman would have taken the relatively-mild comment in her stride rather than lose a potentially large order.
