Right! So the rest of those great funsters don't need to use anyone else to gain some 'storyline' do they not. Lets see, well Evelyn doesn't need Alex for a showmance because she is so innately interesting, right got that, and Laura didn't need to suckle the first tatooed moron she encountered because she doesn't need any airtime, Jackson didn't need his little showmance because that never works as a way of staying in does it, Sam, is he setting the show alight? Has he said a single thing of interest? I must have missed it. Alex is so desparate for showtime that he can't even pretend to be in love with that Austrlian bird whose name I have forgotten already even though I typed it 5 seconds ago. Jayne, well the odd diary room rant and a pair of stilletos are all she has now that she can't play the scorned woman as her storyline when Chelsea was in. Dickus maximus and his bin bag didn't really hang on to Hughie for another showmance in his neverending need for air time and of course there is no game plan involved in any of these people, somehow it is only Jason? Okay then, if you say so.
Ironically Charlie's only real story was Jason, which she milked for all it was worth, but as you say only Jason uses others for storytime. Funnily enough to me he seemed to do that amongst the least of them. He might not be Mr Showbiz but he still seems to create a lot more threads than most of the others, more so since the bunny boiler left, so perhaps he didn't really need her after all. Just a thought.
