Evening SW

Hello there Oaksters

JArsea123 · 20/01/22 - 19:31

Good episode tonight

Not convinced about Ethan being the one who ran Warren down I just think he used that as a scare tatic to use against Ste. I'm enjoying Ste and Sienna scenes they should of paired these two up years ago. Maxine annoyed me tonight to be honest.

And if the rumours are true about

Tom having a affair. I really don't blame him.

Shaq has come along way from when he first arrived the actor has gotten better and better I like him.

ScottishWoody · 20/01/22 - 19:37

I agree, good episode tonight. At the end when it was just Joel and Warren I thought he was going to tell his dad (in a coma) that it was him who ran him over, so I wasn't expecting that twist at the end.

I agree, I think Ethan just used that voicemail as a scare tactic.

Harmony233 · 20/01/22 - 19:42

Why was Maxine so upset about sienna being there.

I agree that it wasn't Ethan that ran warren down.

I think his past actions have been downright selfish and he has come out of all of it pretty well with the family, Verity and the competition for both now out of the picture.
Gone right off Shaq and Verity can go too, what a let down of a character.

If Tom is having an affair the new boss really does not know her characters very well in my opinion.

Only tonight you realised how annoying Maxie Moo Cow is. I am missing Trash more and more now she is not there to remind her how useless she is lol

I agree. Lucy Allan, having worked on HO from 2002-2010 should know the character of Tom inside out.... This is what happens to soaps when they are plot led and not character led.

I'd give them the benefit of the doubt if I thought they understood character continuity because even real people can behave out of character given the right circumstances but I did cringe when I read this.

You both make accurate points. There is no need for either to cheat. They suit one another. Use Steph, her hearing, her reporting career, their money potentially causing an issue, Peri wanting Steph or Tom having some issues with the likes of Sienna or Claire via Grace (his former step aunty).
The actor Ellis is so bad though so I understand why these stories never happen. They tried to make him like his dad with a mix of Tony too much and comes across as a self entitled little noob.

P.S - Nice to meet you @Shinealight12

How can Ethan scare anyone he's about as scary as a chocolate biscuit.

Id hate Ethan to be the new gangster, I'd prefer grace to return to form.

To be fair Tom was a 8-10 year old kid during her last stint in charge - other than being in mourning every six months for a family member he didn't really have a character.

The trouble is he hasn't really had a character in the decade that followed either - they might as well have wrote him out then bought him back as a 20 year old for all the development of the character they did in his older teen years. His biggest story is still being locked in a car when Max tried to kill Clare.

Tom having an affair would actually just be following in the footsteps of his parents - didn't Mr C & Mrs Richardson get together through having an affair?

As much as I really like Ethan and his been a great addition to the show but if they have him make Warren look silly considering the type of guy Warren is and his face way bigger threats then Ethan that would be taking the piss out of Warren's Warren's character considering he was so unrealistically manipulated by Fergus despite everyone in his ear about him being dodge

I think they need to remember he is not Mr Cunningham though in all honesty.

I think so too. It doesn't seem like something Tom would do just based on the character we have seen. But as you said that is very true to real life. There are plenty of people who seem completely honest and dedicated to their partner do still cheat on them.

Harmony233 · 20/01/22 - 22:29

Tom really hasn't had any big stories He had a teen pregnancy with peri and they show him about as much with Steph as they do peri lol.

He had a five minute relationship with yas where they got married.I mean even dependable Tony has had a couple of affairs lol.

I was wondering the opposite actually - given all the knock and runs they certainly need a new driving instructor in town.

In soap land at least people marrying young is often an easy excuse for an affair. And wasn't Tom in a "thrupple" at one point, meaning he has history of not being a one woman man.

Plus he's married to Yaz - by my money the most annoying character in the show.

Felix didn't seem to care that his daughter just died lol.

Or that his other son is effectively banded from returning and the other one is a murdering loon.

He can if her runs over the merry go round and Maxie Moo for extra measure.

Another great episode. This week really has been good.

Oaks is back on form!

NuNuLiam Ethan is even wearing the dear departed Mr Donovans clothes now!

Does James suddenly live with Ste?

I love Shaq and Verity.

I wonder if Tom is going to have an affair with Cher?

Are we meant to feel sorry for Warren?? Best bit of acting Lomas has done in weeks!

I have zero sympathy or empathy for Warren.
Hate Saq and Verity. The guy is sly.

Brekkie · 21/01/22 - 14:25

They're hampering both Shaq and Verity, who I'd say are both the best new additions of the last couple of years, by just putting them together and writing off Sami and Verity as the thing it was supposed to be. Just isn't much chemistry between them.
