Partly because I want to see him happy and partly because I don't want to sit through lots of angst aka tantrums from all sides about Todd and Billy. Someone who's got a child himself maybe? Then get Dylan in the programme and let him have a happy family. He's had enough years of heartache.Loubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863157238652077789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-68222895796104519482016-07-10T01:36:29.955+01:002016-07-10T01:36:29.955+01:00I know plenty of 40 something (women, at least) wh...I know plenty of 40 something (women, at least) who live to dance all night at clubs. What connects them, I think, is not having kids and wanting to stay young. Sean seems absolutely normal in that regard, on a street where very few people ARE normal. My goodness, he even goes into town for his fun. I liked it when Sinead went along as his plus 1.

I'm still not convinced by Billy and Todd, but did you notice that we only saw Billy's other friends and work mates once? What could he have done with Sean? In social gatherings, I can see Todd conversing on more topics with the Bishop or Billy's presumably educated friends than Sean.

Other commenters have suggested that Sean is too simple-minded to be a good match for Billy. Early on in their relationship, however, what Billy learned from Sean - and took from him- was a lesson in how to be open about his sexuality, how to wear his pride on his sleeve, a la Bet Lynch. This suggests a profound innocence and strength in the Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-22052789136558033682016-07-09T00:27:15.049+01:002016-07-09T00:27:15.049+01:00Beautiful insight, that's exactly what Sean ne...Beautiful insight, that's exactly what Sean needs!Sally Dee @saturnexpressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-51470564905901317302016-07-08T22:45:56.453+01:002016-07-08T22:45:56.453+01:00Billy will be swayed by dark Todd and crossover to...Billy will be swayed by dark Todd and crossover to the evil side.
