Haven't posted in a while - oops! Sez hope you didn't think you were talking to yourself
Yeah great scenes with the dad. I must not of been listening properly, Tina was in care with Mick too I assume, and that's how Shirley became like a mother to him instead of a sister? I think something bad happened to him while in there. Do we know if the fire is going to be brought up again and how it happened? Bad memory right now, cannot remember if its been explained what happened on the day/night.
The crying scenes got to me because the only other person Shirley has really cried for was Heather. I love that her family bring out this other side to her. Mick too.
