On a fishing boat it is.

Why do soaps make women look so stupid by needing the tiniest excuse to drop their drawers.
Ok, so Alya is grieving, why couldn't she just smash a plate, why did she have to have sex.

It takes two to tango and Jason comes out of it the worst in my opinion because he should have known better. At least Gary had the decency to turn Alya down. As he said, she's lost at the moment. She's struggling to keep hold of her identity so it's no surprise she's letting the very things that most strongly define her slip through her fingers. The turmoil she's going through feels very real to me.

Is it just me or has Yasmeen lost her accent as well as her bad temper?

I notice Simon's resentment of Leanne hasn't improved whilst on holiday.

Lloyd absence very stupid storyline. He seems to have put on a lot ofweight and gone 5 shades darker. Alya's behaviour getting on my nerves.

I agree. On top of Steve's non-attendance of his own stag night (no one suggested taking him in a car because the minibus brought back memories. He owns a taxi firm!) and sudden exit after the ceremony, it has brought down the past few weeks. There seemed something very panto about it; that and the shirt debacle. What was going on there? Have I missed an episode because I can't recall anything with Leanne and Simon?

Perhaps Steve's was due to the actor being ill but I don't know why Lloyd couldn't just go to the wedding and then disappear off screen for a few weeks if the actor was on holiday.

Since the whole Norway storyline was concocted to excuse Lloyd not being present at Steve's wedding, I suppose there was no way to work around Craig Charles' absence. I've heard those fishing boats can stay out at sea for weeks (though I've no idea how true this is) which would explain his lengthy absence.

y.

Ii think you have dignified the situation with
a lot more thought and feeling than the
writers.
I accept that some people would behave as
shown for the reasons you give.

But the way its been written (and acted )
doesnt give me that impession- but thats my
opinion.

I think its just plot device number whatever
to pad the story out and have future
repercussions not a well - thought out
storyline.

Jason certainly is at least as much to blame
- but he is a suitable " free" character to pin
the story on and his ex is returning soon-
so scope for more drama.

I do think.people can behave completely
out of character at times of crisis but it
has to be done better than this.
And on the occasions when.it happens in
real life - it often is.
