Echoing the disappointment that it might not be Vinny who is the dad.

I really liked the friendship between Vinny, Penny (who I don't usually like that much), Gina and Harry and with them all hanging out and stuff. Guessing this is going to put shot to that.

I've read a spoiler about Zack and how he is going to deal with his money issues, but I'm not convinced it's true. I won't spoil it here though.

If it involves Maek and gamgsters, it's probably true

God they need to axe Zack and Mark!! And Calum and Ben and Johnny

Dreaming of a return of the Secret Cam website

So I’m not loving that new development but I guess it’s giving Penny, Vinny, Harry, Nicola, Suki and Eve plenty of screen time so maybe I can get on board with it.

I am not interested in Zack at all. Failed character IMO.

Zack is a total failure of a chatacter, agreed 100%!!!!! He really needs to go.

The only time I ever really liked Zack was when he was with Nancy, since then it's always felt like they don't know what to do with him.

Nicola/Penny/Suki is an incredible trio, as much as I don't like where they're going with Penny's storyline, having them at the forefront is great

The show is feeling pretty good this week. Honestly, at the moment it genuinely feels like it depends who’s on screen.

Like Zack’s character irritates me but with Nicola/Penny dominating, Vicki lifting the scenes and even Ian vs Elaine it feels more bearable.

But when it’s Zoe/Jasmine or Ravi/Mark it feels like the show is on its last legs.

Agreed tbh. Those characters are all atrocious.

They really need to lean into Elaine as just light comic relief, but not forced too much, like her and Cindy’s frenemies thing at the Albert worked really well and I actually think her and Ian as a pairing would be interesting to explore.

Also I am SCREAMING at Bea’s AI voice plot 💀

I'm liking the show more at the moment and this week has got better.

But when Ian said to Elaine, "you can serve hot food, what can I offer them?" I did wonder about his Eels shop and Fish & Chip Shop. None of that is going particularly cold being ferried over to the community centre.

I guess that would come at a cost to Ian whereas using George’s restaurant is going to be free for Elaine.

Do we actually know what Bea’s motivation for anything she does is?

Bea really is a terrible character.

No-one actually likes her in the programme apart from Will and Janet and she bought them over.

Honey just feels sorry for her.

She isn't appealing to the viewer and her storylines fall flat.

Definitely the worst character in the show at the moment and hopefully just a short-lived one.

They're trying to make her out to be really complex, but the behaviour still being largely unexplained is what's causing most of this not to land at all. Are you telling me all we're getting is she was bullied by Linda as a teenager as that isn't really going to explain any of it.

40 year old Mark, playing someone 28, aka Lurch from Familia Addams, is a close second!!! 30 year old Oscar playing an 18 year old is atrocious too. There's also Calum... But yes, Bea is the worst, as there is no motivation and no REASON for her to be there.

I just don’t know what she’s planing to do or why. They clearly thought this storyline could run off Ronni Ancona acting weird but it’s not enough.

Any time I think I know where it's headed she does something else that just doesn't make sense. I thought it was going to be an identity theft thing which I guess it kinda is but why has she made an AI billy?! I'm guessing she's obsessed with Honey and wants to get her to leave Billy but why

Woulda been more interesting wirh her as neurodiver, helping Ollie with his bullies, as Linda bullied her. And her financial troubles caused by being diver in world not built for it.

Mixed feelings about today's episode. The more I see Barney and Zack together the more I enjoy that dynamic, it's just a shame it has taken them so long to actually do anything with their story (also love that gaming lounge place, I wish it featured more).

Cannot stand this whole Jasmine story and whilst the break had been nice, a whole week of this trial is going to tire me out. I am here for Kat throwing her under the bus tomorrow (hoping).

Chelsea is incredibly under used so it was lovely to see her be that support for George today. Nicola is such a tough nut to crack but George doesn't let that wash with him so I'm looking forward to the two of them parenting together.

I love Bea but for all the wrong reasons. She’s so bad she’s good kind of way but yeah her being here still is very confusing 😂
