But even Alison King herself stated that Carla’s actions were out of protecting Roy and not anything about Peter and Abi. I think Roy is thinking the absolute worst of Carla right now, because he is disappointed in her actions and what ‘could have’ happened. <br /><br />Also, I think Carla Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-12602886475750567752019-02-27T17:36:54.308+00:002019-02-27T17:36:54.308+00:00Roy has accepted a lot of things Carla has done ov...Roy has accepted a lot of things Carla has done over the years - going with married men, being accused of the fire that killed Kal, on and on. Why this and why now? He should know what she's like. I guess this is one of reasons she suffers a breakdown?

If that's what I'm supposed to believe, then, they should've shown it. At no point did I see Carla remotely interested in stirring trouble for them. Firstly, they were already dead in the water before the fire, and secondly, Abi was given an alibi by Cathy. <brAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-25462622044646462142019-02-27T16:57:20.774+00:002019-02-27T16:57:20.774+00:00Throwing Carla out is, as Jeannie says, a plot dev...Throwing Carla out is, as Jeannie says, a plot device.The loss of Roy's support is what sends Carla into a downward spiral. She's not used to being challenged. Family and friends try but they soon cave in over a drink. Everyone else is Carla's subordinate. Shame that Carla has never had that 'Listen, lady' older female in her life.

She wasn't thinking of anyone but Roy. <br /><br />That doesn't justify her actions but I think throwing her out of the flat and being so cold when she was just trying to apologise, and ask for his forgiveness, was exceptionally cruel of Roy.

I think Roy was right to be angry with her about deleting the evidence as he truly believed it could have put an innocent woman in the frame. However, I think his being cold to her and kicking her out was superficially very harsh and un-Roy like. He keeps focusing on Carla's role in Abi being put in the frame, but Abi was suspected Christienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-61697791645344535402019-02-27T14:22:51.937+00:002019-02-27T14:22:51.937+00:00Jeanie (anon):Roy's.
