Kenton’s not even happy on his birthday
Well, I suppose you can’t blame him. With Kathy as his partner. And it’s also fair that Kathy’s face is tripping her, with Kenton as her partner.
So Kenton stayed at Kirsty’s yet again (is he now trying to make Kathy dump him?), so they’re having yet another barny at his birthday picnic.
That’s where Jim stepped in …
My goodness. Jim made sense!
Alistair was quite right that Jim can be charming when he tries – but didn’t mention that Jim can actually be quite good at understand people and their problems.
Just as I’d never thought that Kenton was seeing Kathy’s reaction to Sid’s death as her still having been in love with him (as he mentioned the other day), I also never thought about where Kathy ‘sits’ in the mourners.
“It’s hard to not quite be in the inner circle of mourners”
The basic gist was that Him sees Kathy as having a difficult time because her grief in unacknowledged by everyone else. Even more so, that she has to put her grief to one side to be there for Jamie.
So when she needed at least one person to see her and care for her, Kenton just didn’t get it.
“the child of sunshine, our Kenton. The dark times don't suit him. He'd stand by you now if he could find a way and you'd let him”
But, as Kathy pointed out, Kenton has stood by her through ‘dark times’ before.
“lacrimae rerum”
Tears for things. One of Jim’s “Latin tags”, and quite appropriate too.
Amy’s coming back
Aha! That completes the Alice, Chris, Ed, Emma set.
Frolics ahoy?
Helen’s a bit funny
Nowt new there then.
Alice though Helen was being funny with her because she was jealous of her and Chris.
But it’s probably because of the thought that Chris and Alice got married so quickly because Alice was pregnant.
Carrying on to ‘bitch’ about her cousin, Alice reckoned Helen is
“giving up hope”
of finding a man, and that she’s
“letting herself go”
Because she’s putting weight on (which is indeed “absolutely unheard of for Helen”).
Little does she know … Helen might steal her limelight yet.
Knew it’d be cricket
Alistair’s going to take Jamie under his cricketing wing.
Quite right too. Get the boy out in the air, with something to fight for and look forward to.
Chris doesn’t get a say
It might just be me, but are alarm bells already ringing for Chris and Alice’s marriage?
Rather than ask Chris what he wants for their party, Alice decides it for him. With Jennifer. Without his mum Susan.
Ever been railroaded by an Aldridge? More of that to come, methinks …
