I actually find their relationship far more convincing than a lot of the 'straight' ones on the show. They come across pretty real to me, but I think as a lesbian couple, they will naturally have more people analysing it.
As for Mandy, she's a sour puss and unpleasant to watch. Thank goodness she is going!! She was such a disappointment, when she came into the show having met Lloyd at a gig and therefore promising fun and a carefree attitude - total opposite of what we got!
