Just watched wednesdays episode. Need to catch up. Thought Sean was funny with his clever religious references.
Does anyone else feel it's way too soon in Alya and Gary's relationship for them to be acting as if they're Romeo and Juliet? Maybe if they'd been seeing each other for six months or more...
The family's hostile reaction may be as much to do with the fact that Gary's not exactly a good catch as to do with religion. Kal would have got to know Gary extremely well when they served in the army together.
I really like Luke and I think Maria deserves a good man. There's bound to be complications though!
zero interest in gary and alya and also luke and maria, maria will ruin luke run very fast luke
kal knows about gary ptsd

Does Steph not want Luke with any girl?
I thought the scenes were played out realistically in the Gary and Alya scenes on Friday for the first time. Having experienced it through my brothers who both married who they wanted to and we girls were not allowed to do the same.
How unfair for you! :angry:Quote:

It'll be interesting to see if the Nazirs apply the same rules to Zeedan as they do to Alya.
I think that Kal will see reason first, once he's got over the shock of Alya seeing his best mate.
They believe the family can only be dishonoured by girls. Boys get grief but are forgiven eventually. Having said that my mother refused to talk to my brother for years when he married a white british women. It was awful.
Thanks Swmc. It's very interesting to get an insight from someone who's lived this experience. I hope your family's troubles have been ironed out now. :)Quote:
