Just a pleasant old man, really. His character wasn't anything too exciting.

I think Macs must be in today's episode because he shaved his head in the last one so we must see people's reactions?? He's had short hair before hasn't he?

This sounds good. I was't watching when Leighton was on before. Can anyone tell me about his character?
Leighton, as I mentioned previously, is Sion's dad. He got into a lot of debt and had trouble with bailiffs and collectors after his wife passed away, which Sion helped him with. He came to live with the Whites from Rhondda for a while. He became good friends with Anti Marian so there's potential for some funny scenes with them I hope, maybe even a bit of romance! From what I can gather, he's in South Africa at the moment. I've got a vague memory that he went travelling but I can't remember the exact circumstances. Maybe someone else has a better memory than I do?

This sounds good. I was't watching when Leighton was on before. Can anyone tell me about his character? I'm glad we're not just going to have an overheard confession at Gwen's grave (Macs, Iolo and Huw's mother). Britt is brilliant (my fav charachter) but I want her to help Lois and Huw.

Anyone else think Huw and Lois are going to run away before the baby is born? With all the pressure the "adults" are putting on those two, it wouldn't surprise me at all.

I'm also hoping for a "light, mystery" surounding the Eisteddeford chair that was given to Mark and Debs. PyC always does *something* at the Eisteddford.

And what's up with Probert?! I'm sure he told DI Williams why his house was empty. Sounds more embarrassing than criminal. I'm beginning to like Probert. Loved it when he growled at Debs in his house!
I would hope that Lois will care more about her baby than to do that. Huw is obviously an idiot on this subject so I wouldn't be surprised if he'd suggest it.

I mentioned this a few weeks ago, and I truly hope I`m wrong.
What if Ffion goes on another bender, gets in her car and knocks down either Lois resulting in the death of her unborn child, or possibly severley injuring Will? Can you imagine the backlash from that??
Ffions drinking is a powder keg right now. Garry Monk stopped her from throwing herself off a bridge last year. Ffion has alianated so many people, that there won`t be anyone to stop her next time if she attempts suicide again.

...I like Huw

I doubt they'll do that. They've already had Gaynor abort her child, so they probably won't have another baby death, as most soaps usually don't do this.

The writing is brilliant with Macs - the scene when he was just staring into space was so powerful

I don't think he's an idiot as such, just incredibly naive about how hard it is to bring up a baby - especially when you're both teenagers with no jobs.
As a side note, I've finally found someone I dislike more than Colin - Mrs Probert. Not only is it pretty unlikely (although admittedly not impossible) that she would have a child Ricky's age (the actress is the same age as I am), Tara Bethan is a terrible actress in my opinion.

I know this is kind of off topic, but if Macs slept with Izzy, wouldn't that mean he would get fired? Izzy was a school girl!

Yes...well...considering Gaynor (Izzy's mom) was his boss! But that didn't happen. I wasn't watching at the time but I'd add all of this to the evidence that Gaynor is the WORST MOTHER on the planet!!!

And I like Huw too! I like all of Sion's boys (even if they don't always show the best judgement). Of course he's terribly misguided if he actually thinks he can support Lois and the baby but I like the way he's standing by her and not telling anyone who the real father is. And there's poor Rhys without a clue! There will be some fireworks when all that comes out.

Looking forward to Leighton and Anti Marion scenes. She needs a good fella! I loved it a year or so back when she won the "Cwm Factor" by singing "My Way" (in Welsh) in a feather boa!

I don't know the back story very well, or what Sioned is like but how does everyone think Sioned will react when she find out what happened to Macs?

I just went through my schedule in my head to make sure I was home wednesday. That's quite sad, isn't it?

And with Sioned... She can be a bit of a bitch and has been much worse in the past but she does seem to care about Macs. She'll probably want to help but not know what to do and possibly be angry he didn't tell her immediately.

No that's not sad

OK, I'm picking up bits about her personality

The fact that Gaynor didn't sack Macs for sleeping with Izzy was one of the reasons for the big tension that was between them for a while. Izzy felt (with good reason!) that Gaynor was being headmistress first and mother second. Gaynor didn't want the scandal, much like she doesn't want the scandal with Lois right now. Gaynor clearly didn't learn her lesson. Izzy wasn't all that innocent to begin with though, she'd previously gone home with Cai (who was also her teacher) after a drunken night out. He didn't know her though, it was just before Gaynor became headteacher. Cai's face when he saw Izzy in her school uniform and then realised who her mam was - priceless! Oh, Cai also went on to become Gaynor's boyfriend. Forgot that part.

Wow WelshHoll Gaynor has been around a bit hasn`t she. No wonder there was so much tension between her and Ffion when Ffion was sleeping with Cai.
Was it sleeping with Cai that caused Gaynor and Colin to divorce, or was it with someone else?

No, they were already divorced when Gaynor and the girls arrived in Cwmderi. If I remember correctly, Gaynor was in a lot of debt when she first arrived - all Colin's doing. He invested in rubbish businesses and stuff with Gaynor's money I think. It was all very hush hush that they were struggling. Colin didn't turn up for a few months.
Ffion and Gaynor have shared two men now - Hywel and Cai. It's no wonder they don't get along!

I have been a big fan of PYC for many years, and it's great to finally find a soap forum that includes fans of a Welsh language program.
What I want to know is, Does anyone know what has happened to Debbie's daughter? She never even mentions her.

I've got a vague recollection that she went to live with her dad. In London I think. It's odd that Debbie never mentions her.

Can I just say that I love Jim Probert. He and Griffiths are my favourite two things about PYC over the past year, and I hope Probert stays a good long time.

The fella who plays Scott appears to be off to Emmerdale for a spell according to this site - http://www.regan-rimmer.co.uk/latestnews.asp

Really? Wow. As much as a I did not like Scott near the end, for obvious reasons, I thought the actor was always fantastic and hoped he'd keep acting and be successful after leaving Pobol y Cwm. I want to see him on my TV more; just not as Scott.

What is the deal with Debbie and Mark? Are they a couple or not? And if not, why do they live together?

That's great to hear the actor who plays Scott is off to Emmerdale - he was great in the eps I saw (at the end of his time)
