Its a crying shame that they have moved so far from the good old days of Jack, Joe, Annie, Amos, and the like, to a place somewhere more in keeping with Victor Meldrew's "I don't believe it".

The fact some of us are not sure exactly how she was introduced, shows the difference in how new characters used to be introduced. In the past questions would have asked, were are you from, where were before you came here, etc. Now it is a few words which can be easily missed, especially as the programme does not seem to hold our attention like it used to do. At least it does not hold mine

Tracey notices April reading magazines in the shop, but does not seem to notice her talking to Ray, a middle aged man, openly giving her money.

Ray may well say he sells farm machinery, but no one ever seems to buy any. If other farmers are as skint as Moira I doubt they ever will.

kev is becoming my favourite character

has mack become very dependent and obsessed with ross quickly

After tonight's episode I am wondering if the writers are taking Ray's mind altering drugs?

Lewis needs to snap out of it.
