Yes, obviously Ben would be involved in the custody of the person who "killed" his daughter…
I'm sure a secretary/PA is totally equipped to do the headmaster's job without even having any prep…
Ben is the least grief-stricken looking grieving parent I've ever seen. Obviously people react differently but it's Oaks, I'm entirely confident in putting it down to poor acting and utterly shit writing.
**** off Maxine, you're ridiculous. Having compassion and dignity is one thing, treating a disgusting violent abusive psycho **** from hell who ruined multiple people's lives like a reasonable human being and letting them back into your life is quite another. It's like she's forgotten the beatings, the psychological torture, the manipulation, being tied up, locked in, left for dead, brainwashed, having her daughter taken away for no good reason, being set up for various crimes…
**** off Kim, **** off to the end of the universe and back again, purely so I can tell you to **** off some more.
**** off Jason, I do not care about any single word that could come out of your face.
**** off Patrick, you deserve everything you get.
**** off Frankie, you're a despicably vile person, parent and grandparent, you've no place to judge Trevor and Grace.
**** off Sienna, for all the reasons we've all already said a million times. What a waste of the terrific and beautiful Anna this ridiculous character is.
**** off Darren, you're annoying, self righteous and full of shit.
**** off Nico, you're annoying and appallingly acted.
**** off offscreen Esther, you gave "your" baby a silly name. Not that you have any right whatsoever to name him.

Sorry, I was asleep all evening. I've been very exhausted again this week, might need an increase in thyroid medicine or something.

I do wish the show explored why he became such a control freak in the first place.”
"His mum wasn't very nice" is apparently all the explanation we're going to get. Big whoop. Neither was mine and I'm not a violent psychopath.

I agree.

Good point.

No wonder, the whole thing is just...

Hopefully rejoice as she shoots Patrick.

For me, it's not the fact Patrick kissed Maxine which I could see him doing, it's that she kissed him back after all the cr*p he's put her through.
Beating her up, leaving her for dead, Stitching her up, gaining custody of Minnie through foul means to name but a few. Even if the kind hearted Maxine feels sorry for Patrick. I don't believe in reality she would go there....”
Exactly.

It's a portmanteau of tw*t and cu*t.
