He is definitely my least favourite out of the Kings. I've heard people saying 'oh, he isn't too bad!' and stuff, but honestly, he is the most Scroogeish, condescending, bad-tempered old idiot I have ever seen on the screen. He's such a gnome!! Even wanted to get his own way at his littlest son's funeral! Urgh! I know he can't have had the easiest of lives, considering everything..... but everyone else in his family manages to steer clear of his vile ways.

And he is living in the past. Completely! I mean, when he took his sons on that golf trip, and his best friend had a heart attack, he was (thank God) trying to comfort the man's poor wife. She was sobbing, and she says:

"Where is everybody?" to which Tom replies:

"Don't worry, I've put the kids in the living room."

Hellooo? They're in their 30s and 40s. I know that to your parents, you will forever remain their little ones, but that is ridiculous!! I mean, why not:

"Don't worry, I put Matt Jimmy and Carl in their playpen!"

Ridiculous. You'd think with Max he may have come to his senses and realised he couldn't keep treating the rest of the world like scum.

Sorry, this is such a bitchy thread. But i feel strongly about this topic!!

Oooooh, and plus, he is about to make a pass at Sadie! She turns him down..... ouch, the cringeing!!!

And then Jimmy gets really mad and boots his arse. Well, not literally, I don't think, but you know what I mean.

This is going to be good........

He is mad. He's always talking about "family", yet his business seems to be the most important thing in his life, and how many times when Max died did he say "he was my son", just for emphasis and to justify his warped grief.

Don't really like any of the Kings though. Think Carl is probably the most human of them. Jimmy and Matthew are evil, particularly Matthew.

I think Jimmy and Carl are OK. Both a bit dim though. I loved Max. . And I think Matthew is awful and evil... but I also have a hunch this could just be a front, and according to Matt Healy, there is more to his character than meets the eye. Should be interesting.

Tom is just a sadistic gnome though. One of his sons cries about losing his baby brother and he tells them to shut up!!!!! What is his problem?? It would seem that love is an alien concept to him. Poor King brothers, living with that for all those years ! I assume that's why they all switch off the emotion when things piss up, Tom doesn't act as though he loves them, he uses them as little business soldiers! It can't have been the best upbringing.

Completely agree with charlie-lou on this. Tom is an evil monster who has destroyed his kids and should be kept away from his Grandchildren. Certainly with Carl and Jimmy you can glimpse the decent human beings that got buried beneath an avalanche of bad single parenting, Mary must be swivelling in her grave.

So, so true, dingledangle. You speak good sense.

I really don't like Tom. I thought that Max's death would make Tom change his ways yet he hasn't. I feel bad for his sons. Even Matthew who is simply the younger Tom. I feel bad for Jimmy and Carl who are good deep down but are the victims of Tom's poor parenting. Jimmy particularly seems to feel this as you can see that Tom doesn't treat him right and treats him as a tool for his business goals.

I hope Jimmy will try and get away from Tom, hopefully with a better result than Max, and the others will follow him. Although I can't see Matthew leaving Tom before he becomes the head of the King Empire.

I agree. But I don't think Matthew is necessarily an evil person, I just think he is majorly messed up. There are things we don't know about him apparently.... so watch this space. I do hope that Jimmy tells Tom to get stuffed, and Carl bein quite easy to persuade should side with him...... but Matthew.... well we'll see.

I know how Jimmy feels, being the oldest and the begrudged one. As immodest as this must sound, I am clever than my sisters, they even admit it, but my Dad, whilst being 1000 times the man that Gnome is, still totally victimises me and ignores me!!! grrrrr... oh well.

I know that the Charity/Tom wedding fiasco was instead of Gnome dying, more's the pity, but does anyone know if he's going to have any more major storylines in the nearish future, except of course his snog with Lady Botox......?

Well I have to disagree, I loathe him with a passion.

His voice is pretty annoying too.

All the Kings, whilst they rule, have annoying voices.

Matthew: Sounds constipated the whole time.

Carl: Wish he would take some cold medicine!

Jimmy: Wo' yer dooin, Sair-deh?

(translation, what are you doing, Sadie?)

Enough said. That Chas has Jimmy's infuriating accent as well.

"Jimmeh's bau' Per Tray"

(Jimmy's bought Pear Tree)

But as for my Tom King hatred, I could go on for hours! ANYONE got any spoilers?

Really going to bed now, night. xx
