Thanks for the response!

So we never saw what happened, only the results of his test and his explanation?

Yes we never saw what happened. Common annoying trait of PYC storylines. We did see a rather pathetic scene where Sion was crying and begging Iolo not take cocaine since his family abandons him. I felt really bad for Iolo. Sion's been a horrible father lately and he doesn't even realize it.

Having just watched it, I do think the spiked drink thing is strange. Usually you get your drink spiked in a club if someone wants to take advantage of you or something. And Sion needs to shave that beard, he looks like a hobo.

I don't really think its all that strange Iolo would be taking drugs. He's been far too OK with everything that's been happening. I would have expected that finding out Moc was a peodaphile and Gethin forgot because of the accident would shaken him up more than it did. Maybe he's been covering.

Sion is supposed to look depressed I guess that's why the beard..

Oh I want to watch that. Thanks for reminding me. I have so much work to do unfortunately and less time for important things like telly.

I hope that won't mean that Moc gets to go free though. Scott going free is bad enough.

Alex Harries (Scott is in it too). I can't wait to see this. All the PYC baddies.

Re: Scott. Yayy I knew I was right when I said it was Scott. I was looking at the preview last night. I`m not sure but I think Sara the art teacher from Gwaith/Cartref is in it too. And a girl that looks like Beca from G/C too.
I could be wrong though.

No sympathy whatsoever for Debbie. The second part of the spoiler though I have a ton of sympathy for her.

oooo the who's the daddy thing is back on lol, unless somehow it's to bring Macs back briefly or to kill him off, I'm confused as to who else the dad could be.
This Debbie thing is annoying as is Dai's high and mighty act. He axes Iolo for what he claims to be accidental drug taking and encourages other drug taking, hypocrite. I hope the team does get tested for real, would serve him right and Rhys acting smug is annoying me.
In a bizarre twist how old is rhys? Could he possibly be Arwen's dad? or do we think it'll be a case that she was swapped at birth or something, as even Ffion wasn't a match.
As for Anti Marian I think this is the dementia.

I like Debbies daughter too...Vicky? She`s about the same age as Gemma, so they could be friends if Vicky ever did come back.

Rhys strikes me as a closet homosexual in total denial. Certainly not a father. I wish he would make up his mind whether he is on his dad's side or not.

Not just me who thought that about Rhys being closeted lol. I hope they explore the effect of steroids more with Ed. It was shocking but not unexpected. I hope Dai feels guilty when/if it all comes out what happened, because it could turn into a big drug fuelled domestic abuse storyline.
Eileen is annoying me right now, she doesn't deserve Jim and how can she be so cold towards Angela when she's clearly crying out for a proper mother figure.

I'm on Wednesday's episode. It's a shame Gethin has gone back to being annoying. I suppose the Moc situation will come up at some point again...

Gethin is still angry. I didn't think that just because Dani found out about the blackmail he would be all forgiving of everyone. Dani wasn't as saintly to Gethin as she has been claiming lately. I am looking forward to some sort of clearing of the air between those two at some point.

Moc has to come back I think. I suppose the audience can think that Scott feels so much guilt he won't rape anyone again, but you really can't feel like Moc would stop molesting children. Even if they recast Moc they need to address that situation. I wouldn't like it if a whole village of people decided that Gethin isn't a nice person so they are going to forgive Moc and let him carry on abusing small boys.

How did Eileen convince Jim to take that DNA test? What benefit could that have for anyone?
I was thinking about Courtney, Angela can be a cow but I bet Angela didn't know who the father was exactly. Didn't Ed say that he and Angela broke up in January and Courtney was born in October? If Ed is Courtney's father Angela would have been less than a month pregnant when she started dating Jim. It not the usual thing for a woman to take a pregnancy test until she misses her first period. An October birth is consistent with a couple sleeping together for the first time on valentine's day.

Rhys is already a father of Lois's baby.

Y Gwyll was well-made and atmospheric (clearly influenced by Scandinavian drama) but they really should have made a bit more of an effort with the storyline, which was convoluted and nonsensical.

It's also very boring to see the same actors all the time - ooh look, there's the bloke from Pobol y Cwm, and the girl from Gwaith/Cartref, and the woman from Caerdydd... Surely there must be more than a dozen actors in Wales?

There probably aren't many Welsh speaking actors who can afford to make a living doing mostly Welsh television. Welsh is a minority language even in Wales, you have to be both fluent and a good actor to be in a production of the quality Y Gwyll. If you are really good actor with potential you probably want to be doing English language television where you can earn more and be exposed to larger audiences.

Surely people have noticed PYC doesn't replace character's that leave. Criminals are forgiven on the soap. The same actors appear on every drama. You think that's just because the writing is bad and uncreative? How about because in producing high production value television you must actually have the cast anchored by trained actors not just people plucked from secondary schools who taken a drama course and speak Welsh.

I'm not connecting the two criticisms: the poor writing is a completely separate issue to the issue of the same faces appearing in every S4C drama.

I appreciate that there are probably relatively few Welsh-speaking actors available, but that doesn't really excuse the same dozen or so people appearing in almost every drama series that is shown on S4C. I don't think there was a single character in Y Gwyll who was not well-known from other drama series. Surely, there must be some talented young actors trying to break into the business who would deserve that break.
