I agree about David - he was all over the place emotionally when he had that meaningless fling with Emma too. It's a bit creepy.
And if not, who does Alina work with? Oh yes, David's sister!!Quote:

I thought it was only me that said "Having It Off" anymore :thumbsup:Quote:

I liked Roy's conversations with Gail and Alina, which felt realistic and normal. Also, did he actually make a joke to Cathy about "getting with it"?! He's certainly got more sociable since Nina arrived, I just hope they keep his essential "Royness" and don't try to make him like everyone else.
And Geoff is beyond annoying now, wasting the time of the emergency services (all the more annoying for viewers at a time like this). Let's hope someone (hopefully Yasmeen) locks him in his magician's box and leaves him there...
I like Nina but just wish she would stop moving her head when she talks.
Notice that Geoff mentioned his Hospital Radio gig but we've seen no evidence of him actually doing that for months. He truly is a loathsome control freak.
Geoff will now be with us even longerQuote:

Gail giving out to David over Alina in front of the kids was wrong
Alya needs to start telling Tim, Faye, Sally and Cathy her concerns about Geoff, he will slip up again in front of one of them
None of those thugs heard David clattering up a metal fire escape and how did he get up there so quickly anyway? He's a better magician than Geoff.
And at last a little bit of the old Yasmeen resurfaced when her granddaughter was being threatened by Geoff. She's still in there somewhere. I also liked how she seemed to back down then tried to access his laptop - at least she's getting suspicious now although it's taken long enough.
Also, he was nearly back home. He could have gone to the cafe or the Rovers. He actually ran past the cab office. He could have gone in there. He could even have gone home!Quote:

I'm also surprised Alya hasn't spoken to Tim about his dad yet. She doesn't need to come straight out with accusations, she just needs to start a conversation about what Geoff was like when he was younger,etc. After all, they're family now so she can just make it look like she's trying to find out about her new step-granddad. Although... I wonder if Geoff has already poisoned his son's mind about her?
Gone a a bit OTT about April Fool's Day, I have not seen anybody play an April Fool's prank for years. Yasmeen really should have waited until Geoff went out before looking at his laptop, but good to see her getting her backbone back. Hope Geoff is not going to get away with his appalling behavior by claiming he did it because he is insecure and does not want to be on his own.
I hope that this storyline finishes soon without us having to painfully see other women being mistreated by Geoff. I want a lot more light humour.Quote:

Besides, his research, what the hell does that do with him being the DJ on Hospital Radio. If it had been Daniel writing an article, maybe, but not Geoff
There is a message at the beginning of each episode to say it was filmed before Covid 19Quote:

if david wants a fight so bad join a fight club
We do not talk about fight club.Quote:

There's going to be a lot of similar cliffhangers over the next few weeks, unfortunately.
I'm glad she didn't back down; there's no way all those emails were "research" for a hospital radio show and would Geoff even be allowed to do a show on escorts anyway?
I doubt that very much. But don't forget, Geoff is the incredible bullsh!tting manQuote:
