Loveday Writing

This episode was purely about Mark’s parents visiting to build up to the impending reveal that Mark is apparently adopted or not his “father”, Bernie’s, son. Although the reveal didn’t happen in this episode, thanks to the ads, we know it’s coming. I wasn’t really sympathetic towards Liz, although I feel she was the most honest and interesting character in the episode. I’m not supposed to feel sympathetic towards her as that’s how she’s written, but nevertheless it was interesting to see someone point out Abi’s selfish behaviour and flaws, especially by someone who is exactly like that themselves. It was even more interesting for her to point out how much of a pushover Mark is and that of all people, the domineering Lewis was the one to defend Mark and told him to stand up for himself.
