They can only do what the scriptwriters/producers want them to do

That's for sure. Which makes it even more impressive when you get good acting occur. Add to that what the directors incur also. Due to the insanely short time they have to refine scenes when you see someone like a Jake Wood, Lacey Turner or Joy Joyner pull off a really effective scene, it shows what good actors they are in spite of the medicore scripts and shooting schedules.

I enjoyed last night's episode.
Sharon and Phil's conversation made me laugh. She's like, "Ronnie killed Carl" like it was nothing, and then going totally over the top about Dennis.
Looks like Masood's losing the plot over Carol and Shabnam.
Who is Sonia's dad?

I enjoyed last night's episode.

It was excellent last night, the best episode since I started watching again recently.

I agree that Sharon wasn't very shocked about Carl's death, not when she found out Ronnie had done it, anyway. But I don't find it surprising that she's very upset about Phil's part in Dennis' death. If I remember rightly, Phil did what he did totally out of spite. It's pretty unforgiveable.

I loved seeing Sonia again, and the Jackson girls' scenes were really moving.

I'm not liking the new Shabnam so far, I'm afraid, as she's not the best actor. The storyline of her radicalization (is that the right word?) in Pakistan is interesting, though. I'm really surprised Tamwar took her side, even though I understand he found Masood drinking to be shocking. Surely Shabnam's new attitude is more shocking still? It's nice to see EE being gritty and daring.

Sharon wasn't laughing when she realized Phil's culpability in the death of Dennis. Sonia was the result of her mother's fling with Terry Cant, whom Sonia never knew.

Can I just ask you guys one thing..?

Why wasn't Sam Strike nominated for best newcomer at the National TV Awards? I'm just completely baffled. He is the one who deserves the nom the most!
