[QUOTE="Julia's Gun, post: 179581, member: 987"] [B][SIZE=6]396[/SIZE][/B] Well for me this show is really losing the plot now. Its like the writing team took acid over the weekend, came back and just brainstormed a year's worth of plot twists into one week without even bothering to hint at any plausability... Off-screen plane crashes, people falling down stairs, more affairs, blackmail... Beryl & David seeming to split up for good all of a sudden over nothing. They were getting on so well again after the shooting, but the writers decided no, David needs another affair, and two contrived rows later he's flung himself into Margaret's arms. (It would be more understandable if he told Beryl it was because of her appalling fashion sense lately. That awful slime green outfit that makes her look like a weird priestess of some religious cult would drive anyone away.) And how stupid Margaret's 'confrontation' scene with Beryl, that would have been so out of character for her to have attempted a few episodes before. I can't keep up with the out-of-character ridiculousness of their behaviours. Then all these twists and turns of will Pat get Stephen to leave Woombai, will he find out about her fake assault allegation, and then it all comes out when he walks in to Pat slapping Jill round the face. Then the next episode he suddenly believes Jill and is scheming with her and Gordon to trap Pat into signing the contracts to force her into staying... It's all so fast I can't keep up with the character motivations at the moment - are they trying to get rid of her, set her up, catch her out or all 3? Does Stephen really love her or not? That story has just lot me now, and then they've suddenly split up now and seem to have hated each other all along? Pat suddenly thinks he's a weak failure, when didn't she see that all along? And how can Pat keep blackmailing Wayne so he feels so cornered into running off. Why is he so worried about her threats when she is blackmailing so many other people and then it's not working out? Why didn't he and Amanda just call Pat and Robin's bluff about blackmailing them over the miscarriage? Wayne didn't know Amanda had miscarried at first anyway, so technically he hadn't done anything wrong here. He succumbs to blackmail threats far to easily. I hope the writing will recover from all this ridiculousness, but I'm determined to catch up with Mel O'Drama into the 400s so i'll keep watching anyway. At least while Pat is still around! I feel sorry for poor John, I guess he's on his way out soon? I get the feeling the writers either don't like him anymore or his contract is maybe nearly up, but he is not getting ANY plots at all. He just hangs around like an extra in a couple of scenes each episode. He follows Andy round to a gig, then has a chat with Fiona, and then disappears for the rest of the episode.
