Gwyneth and Yvonne i wanted them to work
Not sure Garry would allow that to happen! I love how he's stopped trying to get Dani arrested for the fire and is now targeting Yvonne.

I do like Gwyneth and Yvonne in general but I hope it takes a long time before Gwyneth forgives her. Okay... I mean... Garry's a crook and all that and everyone knows it but Yvonne really was lying about who she was. Yeah... part of her job... sure... but you can see why Gwyneth would be upset.

I remember when Clive told Yvonne that Garry was, basically, stealing from the rich and she, herself was taken back. I think she thought she was saving innocent kiddies or something. In retrospect, it sounds a bit like the Cwmderi version of "we are the 99%". It's okay to steal, as long as it's from the rich.

Basilbird thanks for the info great as always. Not sure that I agree about the sexy D.I. Williams bit though lol.

Why is Garry so unconcerned with who actually set the fire? All he seems to care about is framing his "enemies".

"Y fod en joc" (it's a joke - the D.I.Williams part!). I can't believe how easily she was taken in by him. Unless, of course, it's a cunning plan to arrest him for something else!

See... that's "Garry logic" all over again. The "guilty party" is whoever wronged Garry. Not the actual person responsible for the fire. Makes perfect sense... to him!

Do you know if although it is a Welsh language soap, do the cast members offscreen speak in their native tongue or use english

I would imagine, like most other Welsh speakers, it depends where they are. If they live in Welsh speaking area and their family is Welsh speaking they would speak Welsh. But if they are interacting with non-Welsh speakers, they'd speak English.

I am loving Pobol Y Cwm, my fave characters so far has to be Eileen, Colin and absolutely love Anti Marion
I really loved her searching for the custard powder last Tuesday.
I have noticed that BBC Iplayer does not always have subtitles when someone is speaking and S4C is more reliable

I am still puzzled as to why Garry Monk is still reluctant to visit Britt. Ironically the only time he went to see her was the time Danni turned up and spilled the beans. Part of me thinks that Britt will be able to see what a liar Garry is and knows Garry was behind the fire somehow.
I can`t wait til it`s discovered about the relationship between DCI Williams and Garry. I still don`t know who is using who. And why did the police take Yvonnes scarf and gloves away with them? To plant DNA evidence?

Garry won't see Britt because he knows he is responsible for Brandon's death. Either he actually set the fire or he knows he is morally responsible for it. Garry is a lot of things but he is not stupid. He knows on some level his abusive behavior got Brandon killed.

I think that Garry planted the hat and gloves. That is what I think he was doing last week when Gwyneth and Yvonne were at the Deri.

DI Williams is a hag. I got the impression she knows that Garry planted the evidence against Yvonne.

There were a lot of elderly people at the very beginning as many scenes were set in an old people's home. Fond memories of the wonderful Harri Parri and Magi'r Post and Mr Tushingham.
I had hopes for a story line for Sion's Dad then he disappeared to South Africa, returned and then went again.

Apart from his flirtations with Aunty Marian he had some complex problems with Sion and really good relationships with the boys.

Oh, I had forgotten about him. Yes... they need to bring him back, if only for the holidays. Not that I want any more stress for Sion but it would be good for Macs and Huw, especially

What is Sioned up to with Marian? Does she really have a memory problem or is it all Sioned?

In real life how old does Huw have to be to join the army without his Dad's permission? If he is still 16 its a year before he could do anything right.

And does anyone else think it was very unrealistic that Macs is suddenly enthusiastic to spend more time at school?

Mark wants something to happen. I don't know of it did tonight, I haven't seen the episode yet

I know Macs is spending more time at school. I thought his big breakthrough was admitting to Sioned he didn't want to be at school. Now he is fine with school, its as if nothing ever happened. All his problems were magically solved by one conversation with Sioned. A little too unbelievable for me.

Is Sioned going to do a complete turn around too? She is going to go from ultra supportive girlfriend to uber bitch trying to convince Marian she is losing it.

I hope not either. I think she might be trying to get back at aunti marion for not loaning her money.

It seems a little bi-polar to me these big emotional shifts.

Same here. Also, it's such a small village yet no one has been seen gossiping about what poor Macs has been through or actually showing any interest in how he is. Does Huw even know? I think something else has to happen in this storyline - surely they've invested too much in it to just let it fizzle out?

Sez_babe the whole thing just screams deliberate soap opera plot contrivance.

Macs storyline was so realistic and well researched and the current resolution is so false and unbelievable that it just makes no sense.

Surely if they wanted to end Macs story, the court could have sent him to therapy. In real life if you end up court because you have a ptsd trauma reaction and punch someone that is what would happen.
