I love your idea of them both getting community service Glen. That seems very just, and I think Roy's conscience would feel a lot better if he were punished in some way.

Nice apology from Gary to Roy. I found it completely convincing and was surprised that my heart went out to him. I hope he's learned a valuable lesson and is a more likeable character from now on.

That scene of Steve alone and sobbing at the end was pretty harrowing stuff. :(

Anna can be quite a bully herself..

I don't think that's rose tinted spectacles when it's your own son you've seen lying in hospital with extensive battering and bruising. Even Roy admits he shouldn't have done it.Yes, we know the circumstances and why Roy did it, but we're not Gary's mother!

Yes true Parkerman but if it was anyone else's son who did this to Roy, Anna would be first out with a pitch fork demanding her own justice for Roy

I agree with Parkermans general point about
parents. But this is Anna - very inconsistent
and loud-mouthed( a yawper-in local slang)
so more than likely to behave as u suggest!

well she has more to come soon and that's when she will need Roy

AND..I still can't understand why Gary didn't let Roy know straight away that it was him-he had plenty of time to turn around. Badly written.

Remember all-Roy only found out it was Gary(and not one of the youths that's been after him)when he was lying on the street and turned around. Of course he shouldn't have beaten anyone that excessively but put yourself in his shoes-he was terrified. And police seemed to be useless as always in protecting him and his home/business. I think everyone has right to protect their own property.
Anna is hypocritical as usual-she would have done exactly the same(or even worse) herself. Roy should fire her, I would love to see how she reacted!! :D

I agree-but mercy on our eardrums please.
She screeches like one-o over nothing so
the noise over something important is
unimaginable.
