I know it's early days but I just don't see Frank as a long term character unless they flesh him out a bit.
I know it might seem dull to some, but I'd have quite liked some scenes with Vanessa, just them talking about the past, about his life and why he's done some of things he's done, the mistakes he's made and why he feels now that he wants to change things.
I feel as though Vanessa and Tracy forgave his absence far too quickly and it feels to me that he's only really there becasue he has nowhere else to go. He seems to be using his daughters coming back into his life purely to his own advantage and making no real effort to get to know them. It all just feels a bit rushed!
I don't want Megan anywhere near him. She's a lovely character played by a great actress and I think she'd be wasted on that loser!”

I hate to sound ageist, but Megan is a woman of what 44? 45? with a young baby. Frank by all accounts is in his sixties, although obviously MP is younger. I know they're re not serious at the moment but it's s hard to believe at the moment that Frank would want to take on a young child. Plus I think mentally there's s quite a big difference between forties and sixties. It's s not that they shouldn't go out together but I find it hard to believe that no one else has even mentioned the age difference, eve in passing. Then again, no one's s mentioned it with Carly and Marlon or Berniece and Lawrence...the familiar pattern reasserts itself
I bet it got mentioned when Moira and Alex's s affair came out
