Pollard & Val decided to foster Amy and make a fresh start, so maybe for them it was time to leave their dodgy dealing behind them....
Chas, since she became a join landlady of the Woolpack likes to see herself as a friend, there when you need them..... Paddy on the other hand is an old friend, so it's obvious she would be there for him......
Incidently, it's nothing new, Alan Turner was a boozing bullying manager for NY Estates when he first started and later morphed into a kind of pillar of the community type figure.......”
Do you think that mention of the dialogue was a little patronising?
Nikhil changed overnight from still moping over Maisie to being down after being rejected by Katie then suddenly acting like the local stud after a few sessions with Chas.
Brenda's idiocy cannot be explained away by Terry's death I'm afraid. It started suddenly before the fire.
Val and Pollard would not suddenly have a U-turn like that after years of ingrained scheming.
Chas is not acting like a friend. She is acting as an interfering busybody who seems remarkably quick to judge of late.
Alan changed slowly over a long time. He didn't wake up different like everyone else.
As someone else said, Declan is another who has mutated from a cheerful, kindly landlord to withdrawn scrooge.
Off to watch Emmy now!!!
