inferno week: day 4
Okay we must confess that when Tom cried we LOLd for about five minutes*. Yes, we have a lump of coal where our heart should be. Yes, we are going straight to hell. But OMG wasn’t it funny?
Despite the tears though, Tom‘s reaction to Steph’s death was bordering on sanguine, “She’s wi Max” he chirped. Indeed, he had every right to look so pleased with himself – his 100% guardian:death record is intact. And now he seems to have his beady little eyes on Darren – GET AWAY FROM HIM YOU BITCH!
The rest of the episode was, unfortunately, a bit gash. Too much Gilly scowling and doing his angry chav thing, which we know from past experience is no fun at all. PLUS, as both Mal and Amy are still alive could it be that Steph is the only fatality of Inferno Week? If so, we will feel VERY shortchanged.

Darren wears a fetching cardy.
Malachy wants his future child named Eamonn after his dad. We can’t think of anything better than naming a child after an alcoholic vagrant who carked it in the carpark of The Dog and was later an integral cog in the Jack‘s faked death scheme.
We decide we rather love Leanne. Her reaction when Lee told her of Amy’s hospitalised condition (“Don’t come crawling back to me if she dies!”) was priceless. We also like how she’s ready for a scrap to keep her man. With those little rodent teeth she could do some damage.
Are we still considering her a firestarter suspect? Hmm starting to look unlikely. There’s something a bit too Alan Bennett about her. That said, we would LOVE it if it turned out to be her. Looking far more guilty though, are Mandy and very definitely Dom, who seemed on the verge of fessing up to Tony. Sigh. Dom – either admit you did it or do one, we’re sick of your weeping and your Chuckle Brothers face.
Bad day for Cheryl as she learns of Steph‘s fate. Continuing from yesterday’s soap opera acting 101, sh
e demonstrates that her reaction-to-tragedy is an Eva Peron fist in the air. We also discover that her ringtone is C’est la vie.
No Stendan. FFS.
The village now a crime scene, it is overrun with emergency service professionals including bald, weeping fireman and CSI Chester types taking swabs from Il Gnosh:
So, not happy with Day 4. Let’s hope the finale offers more deaths, answers and Brendan.
*the same thing happened when Jim Robinson cried after Todd died. Our mam sent us out of the room and told us not to return until we could behave with more decorum. Return we did not.

On Monday’s episode, I thought this was brilliant.
Rhys: Drinking’s not gonna help, is it?
Gilly: And what do you know, ay?
Rhys: I know it’s still going to hurt like hell plus you’re going to have a hangover.
Gilly: I suppose you’re going to tell me you know how I feel.
Rhys: No. No. Because I don’t.
Good of Rhys to forget that he once loved someone who died in a horrific and unexpected way. Now, was that his girlfriend, or was it his sister? Oh, that’s right. It was both. DOUBLE WHAMMY.
