I hope it is a long-running storyline. It sounds like it's going to be. Rhys was brilliant in last night's episode.

It was disturbing. I had to watch the Scott/Macs scenes peeking through my fingers. I'm glad they didn't show too much.
Was some of this cut for the Sunday version?

I didn't think there was anything they could cut

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
Well looking at that site it seems that the proberts are here to stay.

I loved her in I'd Do Anything. I'm happy to see her in it.

Good question (because I dont' remember). I think Iolo has only been in it properly for about 2 years or less. He might have been in it before and returned. Macs has been in it longer, maybe a few years. I think since 2008 or earlier.

OK, thanks

Can anyone be very nice and tell me what has happened to IoIo and Macs since they have been in the show please?

Thanks for that dids.
I see from that site that there is another new character coming to PYC soon. What a cutie Gareth Nash is. I wonder what character he will play and if he`s related to anyone in the regular cast.

You could watch a lot of Iolo's story on youtube. Since about 2009 I think. The only thing I remember happening to him before the story begins on youtube is that he came out and no one minded much. I remember he was really worried about telling Macs for some reason but that Macs didn't care much either.
Too much has happened to Macs for me to even begin to remember it all... Someone should make wikipedia pages for them like there are for other soap opera's characters. Or at least have a page about what's happened to each character on the website.

Ok, was Nesta the one who had Lleucu? And if so, is that why Hywel thought that she was his baby?
Yes, Nesta is Lleucu's mother (she's also Ffion's cousin, for anyone who didn't know). She and Hywel had an affair, during which time she became pregnant.

Their characters have been in it for a while, a good 5 years or so at least. They were played by different actors to begin with. When Macs came back from uni and Iolo came back from London, they were different actors. Huw is the only "original" White brother.

Sorry to ask more questions but what happened between Macs and Izzy? Is she still in the show? How long ago was it?

It all happened *just* before I started watching so... 2 years ago more or less. The actress who played Izzy is on maternity leave. Izzy is "travellig" because she found out about Garry Monk and (more importantly) the part her Aunt Yvonne was playing as a "super secret financial agent" sent to track him. Don't ask... it's sillier than it sounds

When I started watching Izzy was in her last year of school. Sioned was about 16 and had been bullying Lois (who was... what... 13/14). Sioned developed a crush on Macs (who wouldn't!) and kept trying to get him to kiss her. He was clearly uncomfortable having just survived his affair with the head mistress' underaged daughter!

Izzy got in a tizzy and started trying to "protect" Sioned (whom she loathed) from Macs (who she thought was obviously trying to take advantage). That's when I first learned of Izzy and Mac's affair. That's also the first tme Colin learned of it and he tracked Macs down and punched him. Sion was "dissapointed" but forgave Macs eventually (thanks to Iolo, I think)

Macs kept his job... Izzy became an annoying hair stylist working for the equally annoying Sheryl and Macs went back to teaching maths. Funny that he ended up with Sioned 2 years later!

I can't think of any major Macs storys in the past 2 years. What am I forgetting? I know he was "bad boy in training" with Garry and Hywel at the bookies in the beginning but I'm blanking on any real plot linesinvolving him

OK thanks for that.

So Izzy was underage when Macs slept with her? Isn't Macs supposed to not be a very nice person? Or do people like him more now?

I love him!

Also, the day after Scott's attack, a blonde woman was hassling him - he said she was a psycho and that her tracksuit made him want to vomit - what's the story there?

I've been watching since the early 90's. But had a few years off as I had no access to S4C

Macs are one point was a "druggie" but i dont remember much about that story line.

The one person who does my head in is Gethin. You can tell that in a couple of months something shocking will happen with him.

I would think that izzy will be back soon. She seems to have dispeared off the radar of late without gaynor's skype chats.

Thanks, trying to piece together all the storylines

Macs was a drug addict? Was that with the same actor?

I don't think any of Sion's boys could ever be "bad". Macs has always been shown (since I've been watching, anyway) to have a conscience. Even the worst of Cwmderi's bad boys, Garry, has a heart of gold buried somewhere! It was great fun to watch Garry, Hywel and Macs run the bookies. It all ended when Garry found out that Hywel had forged then-wife Ffion's name to get a second mortgage. He demanded Hywel confess all and forced him to sell up. I found that quite ironic since Garry was fencing stolen cars at the time!

The blonde woman in the ugly track suit was Debbie (Ricky's mom, Mark's ex). I love her! She's always causing trouble for someone (usually herself in the end). I can't think of any particular animosity between her and Macs. I think he was just annoyed that she was there. She and Sioned can't stand each other because Sioned bullied Ricky when she was babysitting him. She also fired Debs from the shop when she thought, wrongly, that Debs was stealing. Of course, we all know it would have just been a matter of time before Debs *did* steal so - pre-emptive act on Sioned's part. I think Debs blackmailed her into giving her a job in the first place by threatening to go to the police (Debs always threatens that).

Sioned seems to bully a lot of people.....

I can't wait to see who Macs tells about his ordeal - who do you think it is?

I really hope it`s Iolo. He seems the best one to confide in.

Yvonne is a much better Mother to Lois than Gaynor is. It's hard to believe Yvonne is Colins sister!!!! Yvonne is much more sensible.
Gwern is a very lucky baby to have 2 mothers and a father who adore him.

I love Yvonne (though it's really difficult to forget that whole FCI super secret agent crap!). Love baby Gwern too! Such a cutie!

Anyone else remember when he was first born and Sion (being Sion) was telling everyone about the history of the name "Gwern"? Apparently, the original character was murdered by his uncle (from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwern It was a very funny/akward moment. I loved the look on Gweneth's face!

I also love how much traffic this thread gets now! Should we all try to get a wiki together somewhere for the show?
