Hi Matty - I have at last watched one of the classic episodes and you’re right the plots were so much easier to follow, I think you’re right about Joe Tates Mum being Rachel. Some of the current script people want to take a look at how it was done then.
Just caught up again on tonight’s, it actually wasn’t too bad until Jessie appeared again. So last night she completely ignored Ellis because she was staying out of their lives and tonight she stood and had a chat with Billy - is that not a definite show of favouritism? I’m sorry but her character does not bring anything to the programme at all.
