The fact they’ve underused Denise for so much of her tenure that a side storyline about her being locked in a cupboard with Ian can be seen as one of her highlights is crazy but either way that was an odd pick.

I feel like this era is way too scared to commit to a route for stories and so they just drag things along until they decide. Like why not just have Bea be a short term batshit villain and fully commit to that? You get little blocks of things being good (obviously notably Nigel’s death) then the whole show ambles along for ages until we may get another decent episode weeks later if we’re lucky

Anthony Skordi is quite the grab to play Delaney, he's got a vast background in video games including Assassin's Creed. However, the whole drug storyline is so TIRING and it feels like it's barely begun now with his introduction.

Not the "6-7" joke

A grandparent using it incorrectly when it's out of date now anyway 🤨

And who clears the gutters out in the dark?

Return confirmed for

Spoiler

Gray Atkins. He's back for a short period. Anything that gives Chelsea some screen time is fine by me.

Kathy’s 7-6 skit I actually couldn’t breathe 😭😭 the writing isn’t all bad these days it seems!

When Grant inevitably goes back to Portugal, I beg that he takes Mark with him, he is PAINFUL. He won’t be going anywhere judging from the flash forward episode but god I cannot stand him, at least with the likes of Bea who is also godawful there’s some form of laughability factor.

There’s many things wrong with the show but Christ we really really do not need this gangster rubbish

I'm glad Billy can see right through Bea and what she's trying to do, there's just no accountability from her whatsoever and her actions to try and get what she wants are mind boggling.

God the Jasmine/Oscar/Josh scenes are so far beyond cringe. Please make it stop.

I assume it'll be Sam who goes back with Grant...which I'll be gutted about.

I know Honey is meant to just be a nice person but her just being like “aw oh well :)” at Bea’s credit card fraud is mental 💀
