It just seems too quick and too contrived. She is totally tied up in him, and he with her, but he was never into her as a lover/physical attraction way. She, I felt, was into him but in a romantic Victorian type of way -- ie. he is a supportive wonderful man, I don't care about the lack of sex in our relationship. That they now can't be left alone in a room without snogging seems too much of a straying from character to me. <br /><br />Ken, Ken, Ken. When will he ever learn? I loved that Deirdre asked how he would reacte if she came home with the same story! :)missusmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08301112987255421282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250083790819664013.post-22256063211154457892012-11-01T07:41:50.919-03:002012-11-01T07:41:50.919-03:00I agree.

I like Nick with Ben Price playing him even though he's still a bit selfish and manipulative, given how he was working on undermining Leanne and Peter's marraige. I don't think he's left that behind but he's a far better character now than when Adam Rickett played him. <br /><br />Ken needs to have a hard look in the mirror. He might have backed away from Wendy, not wanting to throw his marraige away, but he could be seen as giving Wendy the wrong idea, what with his moaning about his and Deirdre's marraige being "happy enough" and all that.

I think it has plenty of potential to explore "unknown territory" in terms of maintaining a sexual relationship that is almost entirely emotional - how awesome would that be? Particularly with Marcus? Heck ya.<br /><br />I'd like to see Kirsty end up in jail or the loonie bin for awhile, just to even the odds for Tyrone, who could compel a DNA test to are for Ruby rather than seeing her enter Care.<br /><br />I was surprised by Ken's reaction to Wendy's passes, saying that she'd almost ruined his marriage once and wouldn't do it this time. It would be nice if this false accusation stuff with Wendy could actually bring Dreary and Ken closer, committing to their marriage and perhaps actually doing something together outside of drinking at the pub and bickering.<br /><br />The dynamics of Mary, Gail and Kylie at the Bistro with Nick trying to rein them all in could actually bring some comedy back to the Street. I know that Leanne's said she doesn't love Nick but he seems genuinely keen on her and has regularly stepped up to help others in need out, perhaps he's a more mature, caring man now? I'd like to see those two connect but that seems impossible with Leanne claiming mothership of Simon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250083790819664013.post-40641145906111405772012-10-31T19:17:22.426-03:002012-10-31T19:17:22.426-03:00Oh gosh. the original ryan was just as bad an acto...Oh gosh. the original ryan was just as bad an actor !
