I can take or leave Phil, although if they were to kill him off, I'd like it to be done big and dramatically to emphasise the kind of life he's led. And if he stays, there's always the baby he's not aware is his storyline that EE could drag out for at least all of next year.
Dot on the other hand, is such a judgemental, ungrateful, moralistic, moany old witch, who does nothing but annoy me so much, that I honestly wouldn't mind if she suffered beforehand. She's part of that group of so-called 'religious people', who, in reality, use their religion to justify their prejudices, and believe that as 'Christians', they have the moral high ground that gives them the right to dictate (they would call it, 'guidance'), how others should live their lives. The sooner that one goes, the better!!!
