Dishing The Soaps!

1/21/10

What’s the point of going to the beach if you have to be all bundled up? It seems like the Ashworths minus that ass Rhys have decided to go to the beach. Oh Nev you forgot the shovel. She didn’t want to go because she knew Rhys wouldn’t go if she went since he’s being an idiot and ah ha he’s mad at her for not being there for him when Sarah died. Of course he’s not thinking about the fact that Sarah was her best friend so she was in pain herself and totally reeling from that. So you could flip it around on him and ask him why he wasn’t there for her. I’m just not sure if they could have made a sandcastle version of The Dog. Now that would have been a good point where Rhys to show up but alas he didn’t.

Rhys was back at the pub taking care of the place while the family was away. I’m sure Gilly would have agreed to cover for them for the day. The poor guy has a lot on his mind so he needs to keep busy. Of course talking to Rhys isn’t the best idea in the world. Oh yes he’s being awesome by not being there for his family. I think something might have gotten lost in the translation because it certainly didn’t make sense to me. I’m sure in time he’ll stop being an ass but I hope it is sooner rather than later.

Steph doesn’t seem too thrilled about moving. Fernando showed her the contract and she wasn’t all that eager to sign on the dotted line. Why do they call it that anyway? I’ve never seen any lines that are dotted. Supposedly it is a place that they’d be stupid to turn down. Of course I think she isn’t as thrilled because of the guy and there’s the moving away from the guy that isn’t Fernando and happens to be Gilly. It just seems like she’s now realizing that she has feelings for Gilly and by the looks of things it seems like it is too late.

I don’t know what Mal is up to. I’d just call the slapper out on the affair. He instead convinces Mercedes to stay home and serves her breakfast in bed. He wants her to skive off. Yes I’m trying to use a British word although I’m sure sure about the spelling. It just baffles me that he’s going to just stay mum about the affair until May. I guess that would make a guy so pissed off that he could be the one that ends up shooting Calvin. There are other suspects since Calvin ends up pissing off pretty much everyone in the village.

Steph runs into Gilly who is standing outside and she gives him her scarf since I would think it would be cold out winter and all. I guess that question was answered. That was so sweet and then they went inside to chat. Damn I want these two together instead not that I don’t love Cheryl because I do but not with Gilly. So he’s planning to go to Vegas. Um does Cheryl know about this? It isn’t really Vegas but somewhere in I think he said Blackpool. I’ve heard of Liverpool but not Blackpool if that’s what he said and I think it was.

Rhys showed up with the shovels and who knows what else since that was a pretty big bag. I knew he’d turn up at some point. The others left Hannah and Rhys alone so they could talk. He apologized and I was amused by the matching jackets. He said that he thought he was helping by not being there for her. Well that does have to be pretty tricky and even harder since food isn’t something you can just give up so I get what he meant although I’m not sure if this would be one of those times when tough love was such a good idea at least in the way he used it. They came back and Nev set the camera to take a picture in front of their sandcastle version of The Dog and damn it actually looked pretty good. Rhys thought he didn’t set it right so the picture happened when he was moving over to check the camera.

I think Mal just wants to forget about the affair and try to get his marriage back on track. Of course she has no clue that he knows otherwise she wouldn’t be able to sit there next to him. Who knows since it is Mercedes but somehow I think she’d be very on edge if she knew that he knew and wasn’t telling her that he knew. I do feel bad for the guy since I thought that finally the girl had found someone that she wouldn’t cheat on. Maybe she needs to look into getting a patch for help with that problem of hers where she can’t keep her knickers on.

That was just so cute when Steph was teaching Gilly to dance. Somehow I don’t think things would go so smoothly with Cheryl. I’m sure he’d be stepping all over his toes. It was like the whole world went away where they could hear music which I think was from Cinderella maybe she was dancing with the prince at the ball. Hannah came in and hell I’m sure she saw it too. She ended up getting a text from Fernando asking if she was okay. I guess he didn’t think she’d be gone that long but that kind of shows that she really doesn’t want to marry Fernando.

Hannah ends up watching the footage that Zoe shot for her project and saw how her illness affected her family which got to her. She ended  up going downstairs and told them that she had to move out. I get that because if she stayed with them being all smothering and overprotective it would just be too easy to slip. She needs to stand on her own two feet and get  better for herself. No I wasn’t crying at all during that and that’s the story I’m sticking with. Damn I’m going to miss her.
