Let's add another member to the growing White family. It must be because I'm American, but Donnie has such a thick accent it took me a few seconds to process what he's saying. Either that, or I'm just distracted by his mafia outfit. WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THAT? Chrissy's world just got more complicated with her ex-husband's arrival and within one episode, all the storyline are already planted. Of course Lachlan will be attached to Don, Lawrence to prefer him over to Robert, Chrissy will keeping juggling and policing the relationships between the men in her life and Robert... oh Robert, as if your dance card for storylines isn't already full- let's bring the ex back in the picture. It's just early snap judgment, but I hope Don gives Robert a run for his money as the new rich, bad boy in town.
Meanwhile, Jacob is ridden with guilt and offers to do wash cars for Rakesh's lawyering skills. Young man needs to get his computer fix and google how much lawyers cost. I'd be disappointed if Alicia decides to keep this quiet- even Jacob knows that thought the crime is different, it's the exact situation Chrissy and Lachlan were in weeks ago.
Emma and James. We've seen this one coming, didn't we? It's already far too predictable how James will react. He's not going to leave Chas and start over with Emma. It's just so out of character- then again, so is kissing Emma. I'm honestly bored by this storyline already. I might be because I don't care for anyone involved. James has always been vanilla in a way that I couldn't root for him, Emma is about as complex as a blank sheet of white paper and Chas, I'm more invested in her take in the Robert/ Aaron saga that I would much rather her character partake in that than deal with this.
Congratulations, Debbie Dingle. You did it. You made me root for Carly. Two brats fighting is utter nonsense but self entitlement is pride always loses with me. Saying that though, take Debbie out of Carly's arc tonight so she becomes as one-note and boring as ever. She said some mean, vile things to Brenda and Bob but there's no complexity there. It's so Emma.
The show is abandoning a lot of good stories so far this week. Where's drunk Laurel? Where's that Kirin/Vanessa/Adam/Victoria business? Where's the one budding romance with Finn & Darren (who got namechecked tonight)? There's always tomorrow.
