[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 200990, member: 23"] And the second 30th Anniversary rewatch: [U][SIZE=6]Episode 245[/SIZE][/U] [I]Originally watched: [/I][B][I]23rd January 1990[/I][/B] [I]Rewatched: [/I][B][I]23rd January 2020[/I][/B] [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/84QE9G.jpg[/IMG] This simple line to Bobby, in a moment of reaching out at the hospital, nicely understates some of the changes that the recent revelation have made to relationships on the series. As Bobby says in reply, they [I][U]are[/U][/I] cousins. And while nobody’s said it out loud, it also means that Alf is Bobby’s uncle, Celia and Barbara her aunts. And Alan Fisher her cousin. It’s a little mind blowing already. And we haven’t yet even factored in Bobby’s biological father. Bobby attends her first new family gathering by accepting Celia’s invitation back to Alf’s, where she asks everyone to keep a lid on the news. Even from Tom and Pippa. She wants to tell Morag what she really thinks of her, and then she doesn’t care what happens. With Celia’s evident fussing, Bobby leaves. And this is an aspect that works really well for me. Because even before the truth was out, Celia was singing Bobby’s praises to Ailsa. And in light of the news Celia has come down firmly on Bobby’s side. But Bobby isn’t privy to Celia’s most supportive comments. Which casts an interesting light on things. It’s to Alf that Celia shares her thoughts: and Now this is where the writing comes into its own by layering and having resonance from previous stories. And so it is that Roo picks up on Celia’s comments and naturally thinks of the daughter she had adopted. [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/clXyKd.jpg[/IMG] And while Celia, in her annoyance towards Morag, remains oblivious, Alf is also too aware of where Roo’s mind is and the two have a conversation about it. Later, Alf finds Roo reading stuff she’d written when she was expecting Martha. [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/PA5ufJ.jpg[/IMG] It’s a question to which there is no easy answer and this is recognised. I like that the question is simply floated out and allowed to hover over the show. [RIGHT][I]continued...[/I][/RIGHT] [/QUOTE]
