Since Pat left there is nobody who has anything interesting or amusing to say. This years crop must go down as the most bland group that the show has ever assembled. As for Antony Cotton, well he's just proving that being in a soap is a virtual passport to picking up the votes of the predictable sorts who waste money by phoning in.
Most of my family have traditionally been interested to see who wins, but this year nobody cares, because the ones left are so boring. Willie's ok but a bit too sensible to win, Mark and Emily frolicking looks like it is a pre arranged set up, Chrissy does nothing and isn't interesting enough to give much air time to, Dougie, an ok guy but hasn't got too much about him, and that leaves Cotton, who is just a silly spoilt wimp.
