Loveday Writing

Well this episode revolved around what looked like a marriage proposal, when it was obvious from the beginning there wouldn’t be one.

The episode starts with Lily finding her grandmother’s ring in Jack’s pocket and the panic kicks off from there, going back in time 24 hours. The fact that Lily was panicking and even dreading having to deal with the thought of a proposal, is clearly another hint that her relationship is not going to work out. This A story was already predictable, without the addition of another cliche conflict in Jack’s fellow-chef slash ex-girlfriend, Gillian (Natalie Bassingthwaighte). I haven’t seen Natalie Bassingthwaighte in acting action since her Neighbours days. While her character has been added for the necessary cliche romantic conflict, I’m looking forward to seeing her come into play in future episodes. I felt that as she was only just introduced that she really didn’t shine in this episode.
