Tbh the Christmas episode had everyone acting odd. I mean would you really leave your handbag in an unlocked car in a cemetery? I mean would you even leave your car unlocked in a cemetery? Then Cadno was trying to throw the house owner out of his own home, Diane invites a stranger to her house, then Cadno leaves an injured Macs and then leaves her children after claiming she doesn't love Eifion. I don't believe you can fall out of love that easily and she fought so hard before, also leaving her kids is very OOC. Eifion seems to have reverted back to normal how he was pre-breakup, and not some arrogant jumped up idiot on self destruct, that role has now gone to Ed who I much preferred when he was being a drip. I also think maybe Eifion felt some responsibility for Macs' mental state, as he did drive him away. Macs was the only one truly acting in character, as he's lost his family thanks to them driving him away, (because that's the best thing to do when someone is suffering a mental breakdown obviously) and then fearing he'll lose his 'new family' caused him to snap, which is realistic. What isn't realistic is that his family, even Iolo and Saint Sion left him alone!! That's really irritated me. You don't leave a mentally ill person alone, be it in their own home or the family home. Just hope this story doesn't end here, but PYC is good at finishing stories you think have died off months/years ago so hopefully they'll tidy this up.
As for favourite characters, I love Dani. She's so funny and comical and her with Garry is quite sweet, it works some how.
Favourite storyline ummmmmmmmmm I liked Macs stuff until they drove him away, he's my fave male if he returns. I also loved Rachel winding up Gaynor constantly, just funny.
