“I suppose we could have guitar playing rats”
Lynda really has lost the plot.
Having lost Nathan Booth to a “lack of professionalism” (his words), Lynda’s becoming increasingly erratic.
After ignoring Fallon’s plea for a bit of understanding over her lateness due to Jolene wanting to do a bit of Christmas shopping (come on Lynda – Jolene interested in anything is something to be nurtured!), Lynda’s after Fallon's band-mate Rolla.
But he seemingly won’t go on stage without a guitar.
“If it was up to her, she’d have the baby in the stockroom …”
“ … and be back behind the counter an hour later”
So says Kirsty about Helen.
Tony’s also having a pop at Helen via Amy
“Do you come across this often? Young women having babies on their own … I think it’s crazy!”
On hearing that Helen is finding things a bit tough, Tony is even less sympathetic:
[Tony] “If she’s cracking under the strain now, what’s it going to be like when the baby arrives?”
Come on Tony. You’re going to melt eventually …
Fallon doesn’t understand her motivation
And she’s also brave enough to take on Lynda about her script@
[Fallon] “Alice is supposed to be quite a demur young woman, isn’t she? She's not the sort to go picking up men on the street!”
After questioning Lynda over Alice falling for a bit of a dirty Dick (fnar!), Fallon then gets far over excited about Harry’s ability to do rhymes.
Goodness me! Ask him out properly, Fallon. All of this giggling and mooning doesn’t become you.
And watch your back. Lynda was sounding very sniffy as you were tittering and rhyming away with Harry.
[Lynda] “We are not here to have fun … we are here to put on a show! Christmas shopping and general joviality take priority over their commitment to me”
All of which would be quite amusing, if Harry and Fallon hadn’t actually driven Lynda to tears.
Phew for Amy!
At last – Helen has someone to talk to who she actually trusts and believes (though I still don’t know why Helen won’t listen to her own, or any other, mum. Amy is only recently qualified)
[Helen] “is there any chance it’s something I’ve done – like not eating enough, taking too much exercise … could I have been depriving the baby of nourishment?”
Amy explained, reassured, relaxed.
Just in time for Helen (and the rest of us).
Tony makes good?
Popping round to drop off a casserole for Helen (which she froze rather than ate), Tony seems to have slightly mellowed towards Helen. Maybe Pat has got through to him. Maybe he realised that, like it or not, his daughter needs him.
[Tony] “Any time you do feel a bit down, for no matter what reason, … we’ll always be there for you”
