I have to say that was a fantastic episode tonight. The stories are all brewing up nicely and we're seeing drama unfold on screen.
Lee - this is a man on the verge of a nervous breakdown. He is on edge, he is stressed and is very depressed. Yes he made a couple of daft mistakes with the robbery and theft but his lies, and the pressure from work in terms of the bloodclaat Oz and his boss has got to him. I am thankful he did get through on the skin of his teeth but it's not for him. An ex-army guy who is by law a trained killer treated like crap by chancers. The other two must have been weak at work that were Oz's accomplice's or they found out the cops charged them. Danny-Boy Hatchard has stepped up to the plate and delivered a winning performance with the depression and anxiety portrayal. Credit needs to be given here. I think he has gone missing - open to a return in about two years or so by being found in a shelter by one of our older characters. The parking attendant lady - I think she'll be someone deeply concerned and there is a reason why they've bought an actor like her in for this storyline.
R+R - Jack is an idiot. I kind of hope the two sisters do a runner and jilt him at the aisle. Roxy is doing the best she can - let kids be kids ffs. If Ricky wants to get sick eating chocolate let him - saves him destorying Ronnie's dress. I do hate the way they've made Ronnie a weaker female around Jack - hope she breaks out of her shell soon before the invetiable exit.
Max - I reckon him and Michelle will get it on - it just seems too obvious. Martin, yes I can understand his insecurities but I think Stacey has moved on from that, and is probably glad she has someone else to talk to. Can't believe Sharon told him the truth - how is Phil going to react? I do think he has turned a corner...to a point, but this does scream the long game.
Dot and Willy - I do think they are cute scenes and it has made her happy - you would think Abi supposedly a vet would know what's best. Glad she can keep the little cat. I do think June has got a bit more mileage in her.
10/10 - so brilliant tonight.
