I've never been his biggest fan, but Andy has had his redeeming months - I thought he was quite tolerable when Sarah was ill, and I like his scenes at the farm and with Diane and Victoria. I also thought putting him and Katie together again was good for both characters.
I know Andy's grieving, so of course he's going to be a mess at the moment, but I'm really struggling to sympathise with him...
I also thought the suicide thing was handled really badly. People with suicidal thoughts tend to believe they have nothing to live for and Debbie shouting at him for being selfish really got on my wick...
I don't know where Andy can go from here - when he eventually finds out Robert was responsible, he'll go back to this place again...what's the point?
It's not that I don't like seeing characters grieve - I thought April, Bob and even Marlon (:o) grieving for Donna incredibly poignant...just Andy bores me!
Anyone else in the same boat?

He treated Katie like shit, tried to dump her for no good reason, then acts devastated that he's lost his whole future blah blah blah... wtf? Utterly nonsensical. He also had just as much vendetta against Robert as she did until his sudden bizarre, out of character 180. The whole thing is just stupid. And the suicide stuff was appallingly handled all round.
I also cannot quite fathom Robert suddenly becoming Bi sexual! There was never any sign of it in his previous appearences.
Your feelings mean the writing , along with the characters and acting of Andy and Katie,
has been an epic failure for 14 years.:(
All he does is be angry and blame others for everything that happens to him, He is always threatening people, look how he was with Moira over his "life changing accident" to his arm which has been completely forgotten, which was his own fault for not taking proper safety precautions, his beating of Jo because the farm was losing money, his fault again by overestimating how good a farmer he is, his treatment of Debbie, sleeping with her when she was just a kid and when she got pregnant he didn't want to know. Etc etc.
He didn't really attempt suicide, he was just looking for sympathy and foisting himself on Robert in Lawrence's home is a bloody cheek. One minute he is slagging Robert off for sleeping with Katy, it takes two btw, the next when he thinks he is being given a free farm he is all over Robert, talking about his brother and all being family, helped along by that daft old bat Diane. He is a leech and I wish he would just go away. I actually detest him more than Marlon and that's saying something.
Robert was responsible for the death of someone and then covered up his crime.which has turned him in to nothing more than a lying killer. This crime makes him far more evil than Andy has ever been!
I agree. I wasn't keen on him back when he was hitting Jo. However, the actor is doing a good job with this serious story. I like Andy now. One of the better storylines on the show recently.
Same here. I don't like Andy but I cheered when he did that
