Abi Branning (Lorna Fitzgerald)

[Dazzle]

Tbh, I'm sick of Abi.

I agree with a lot of what you say, but I'm finding this new darker incarnation of Abi fascinating. Her world's going to come tumbling down when she discovers the truth about Ben and Max. I can't yet predict whether I'm going to feel sorry for her or not because she's complicit in all the lies - yet I still find her strangely sympathetic.

Honestly, I miss the more innocent and sweeter Abi than this new darker one. Still, I am looking forward to the day when the truth comes out. I just hope they don't disappoint us with lousy writing.

youre sure she was really sweet and innocent.?

children from unhappy homes deal with
things differently - some become openly
disruptive -others put on a "sweet" facade
whilst inside they are more angry than
the ones who show their feelings?

In soap terms particularly I would say
Abi was almost bound to turn out
as she is doing . !!

Well, I remember her as being more devoted to Max. I remember when Tanya left, Abi chose to stay with him. Rather sad considering how she's betrayed him and everything by dobbing him in.

She probably blamed him for the break-up.
And chose Walford and her life there
rather than Max specifically.
Perhaps the "dobbing in" is pay back.!

The more resentment is hidden -
probably the worse the effects later on.

Which is why it will be"interesting"
when she has to face the truth about
Ben eventually -those she does know!

I think you're right about Abi putting on a "sweet facade". Thinking about it, she was always very bitter that Lauren (the disruptive one) got most of the attention from their parents. Yes, her apparent change of personality - although rather sudden - seems inevitable when you think about it like that.

Yes, and that could well be why it will be Lauren who eventually is the key to getting Max out.

That would be sweet! Abi finally accepts her dad's guilty, and she did the right thing by dobbing him in...then Lauren comes in, saves the day and reveals the truth! If Abi ever thought Lauren was the fave daughter, then she would do after that!
