What a b*tch Gemma was to Dani in Fridays episode. It seems like Gemma has always been jealous of Dani. And Mark just sat there like a lump on a log. I`m glad she didn`t spill the beans about Dani being pregnant though. It would have been all around Cwm Deri like wildfire knowing Mark.
Well Gemma and Mark are an example of the current awful relationship storylines. Dani and Garry have their moments but it drags a lot. Ffion and Jinx are dull now, they made Macs the fathers of Arwen and all the energy went from that relationship. Eifion/Angela/Cadno and the story about sterilization yikes. When Cadno says she wants to be sterilized.. she sounds like she is talking about an animal on the farm.

If they did give Iolo a boyfriend I am not sure we could expect too much. Just because Iolo is gay doesn't mean it would be an more interesting than any of these other relationships.

I do agree that the it's probably not in the shows budget to bring on new characters/actors, which is why the are mixing and matching the current cast in gross pairings that don't make sense.

The current relationship stories are about not having enough money, I think that is pretty clear. I know it is disappointing that Iolo hasn't had a boyfriend in years, but I think the show desperately needs a storyline which is not about weird pairings or rape.

I am cautiously optimistic, because this upcoming storyline with Iolo actually makes sense, and its the kind of thing the PYC writers do well. Its been a source of annoyance that after everything that happened in the last year to the Whites they walk around like nothing has happened.

Iolo should be cracking up a bit. He's living a lie. He hit Gethin nearly killed him. Moc nearly was able to run off with Wil because the hit and run caused Gethin to have memory loss. Gethin took a lot of public abuse while Iolo basically had none. Iolo is also one of three brothers, the other two have been publicly disowned by Sion for doing things not all that much worse than Iolo as done. I think Iolo didn't tell Sion everything regarding Macs either. So that's another secret he's keeping. Is it any wonder things start falling apart? I've been sort of expecting some kind of storyline like this for a while.

Yes, he knows he broke the law and helped cover it up for Iolo. Sion wasn't happy but he did it. The White's have been lying about it for a year. Sion treated Iolo completely differently than he did Macs and Huw.

I`m not sure if it`s sloppy writing or not. but Cadnos visit to the doctor to ask to get sterilized didn`t ring true for me. Cadno told her doctor she had post natal depression after Arthur was born. Even telling him that she left her sons with their Dad because her PND was so bad.. But I did notice she didn`t tell the doc about nearly killing Macs and running away..
It would be hard to diagnose Cadno with post natal depression because she`s always seemed to have a face like a slapped ar$e - even before she was pregnant with Bobby.Although living with Eifion any woman would be I think.
I don`t blame her for leaving Eifion after finding out he slept with Sioned. Eifion is no great prize. But she only came back to Penrhewl farm when she thought she killed Macs and needed Eifion as an alibi.
Cadno seems obsessed with leaving the farm to Bobbi and Arthur. She didn`t seem to care about it when she left with Bobi.
And this new thing now with Angela and her plans for a riding school. Didn`t she learn anything about the glamping site fiasco? She still needs planning permission, and permission from Cadno too as she partly owns it. A riding school is a good idea though, and could bring in lots of revenue. Something that even Cadno wouldn`t moan about as it`s securing Bobi and Arthurs future.

Oh wavlovr its bad writing the Cadno thing. Eifion/Cadno were never a very interesting romantic couple, there was never any chemistry with them together. I would be happy for them to break up forever. Also we are back to the same old storyline with Cadno objecting to any activity that could possibly make the farm money.

I agree that I lost all sympathy I had for Cadno after she left Macs for dead. But honestly the only time I ever liked Cadno was after she found out about the affair. I never thought much about her before then and I don't think much of her now. To have that couple carry a major love triangle storyline is pretty sad.

Actually to have PYC dominated storylines about couples is sad. Romantic storylines are imo what this soap has always done the least well. I never watched PYC for the romances. The best of those storylines like Garry and Dani have moments that are sweet... but that's about it. Most of them are just horrible.

Agreed. I never saw any chemistry between them in all the years I`ve been watching PYC.

So tonight we had an episode featuring Cwm Deri's 2 most unattractive couples and Anita trying to take away Wil from his mother.

Anita almost married Moc -- why doesn't anyone question her suitability to be around Wil?

I was thinking exactly the same thing tonight sderr. I would`t trust Anita look after a pet gerbil - let alone her grandson. Anita is delusional if she thinks Wil wants to live with her and Meic instead of his own Mother. Sheryl should put her foot down.
I can`t wait til Meic finds out about her and DJ,

Gemma is being so mean to Dani, yet she wants Dani to apologise to her. For what? Being happy in a relationship with Garry? For being married to Mark years ago?
Actually I don`t think she has ever apologised to Dani for stabbing her in her sleep. Nor has she thanked Dani for keeping it quiet. Dani has been more of a friend to her than she`s been to Dani.
Some friend Gemma is. I wish she would go on a permanent trip around Europe and take Mark with her.

Its just manufactured drama that makes no sense at all. I hope you are not right about Gemma being pregnant with Mark's baby. Nightmare visions of that being true.

I just had a look at the spoiler pictures for next Friday.

I am so sick of these relationship storylines. Frankly I cannot wait for the storyline about Iolo's mental disorder. Anything to stop the madness.

They are going to do a storyline about Iolo and OCD. Its mental health awareness week. S4C is doing a number of storylines about mental health disorders this week. Mental illness is something I always thought PYC writers did a good job writing about.

Actually I can see the writers having Eifion go through with the "sterilization" and not tell Angela. Angela will then leave him and Cadno and Eifion will be stuck together in a loveless relationship of duty and obligation.

Why does Cadno think she has a right to make this decision for Eifion? Today all about the "sterilization" and tomorrow more of the same. This storyline cannot end fast enough for me.

So that's the beginning of Rhys and Sheryl. Seems rather forced. Rhys and Iolo worked better, but really Rhys has the most chemistry with Lois. Why can't they just put Rhys and Lois together already.

Not ANOTHER weird older/younger couple. I'm switching off after tomorrow, the show has really gone downhill in the last few weeks.
