Loveday Writing

Well, it seems the writers are taking two steps forward to be knocked three steps back. Another year has passed in the House Husbands world, which presents a couple of continuity problems, such as (by my count): Finn should be in high school, Angie should be five by now (especially according to her birth records indicating she was born in

This finale was all about the sweet sound of wedding bells. I quite enjoyed Ned’s heartfelt speech towards the Licensing Commission, clearly he knows the pub very well due to his hard work and is the first sign of his evolution throughout the season. Ned went from a questionable and untrustworthy larrikin to a happy, enthusiastic, professional and dedicated man.

This penultimate episode was solid but not spectacular. The Gemma and Damo subplot, especially going to the yoga retreat was okay but not great. I did enjoy the discovery of the yoga teacher being a fraud and Gemma and Damo reverting slightly, however it was a bit cheesy. I don’t remember Damo being so new-agey, I think the writers have

I think this episode was the worst. I didn’t particularly enjoy the return of Gemma’s mum, Wendy. I think this mostly because I didn’t enjoy her character, however it is also because of the way she treats Gemma. I didn’t care for her comments of taking the bins out being a man’s job or asking Gemma what she did to

This episode was a little too flat for my liking. I like the start and the end being connected to the same plot. I like Ms Looby including Lewis in the school play so he can spend more time with Tilda, as it shows character development. The writers are slowly integrating her more and more into the main men’s lives

This episode for me wasn’t bad, although I’m not sure if I really liked it. Lewis was portrayed in an unlikeable light–drinking all of the pub’s beer and subsequently draining the supply, stealing the ugly vase he bought for Gemma over-and-over and teaming up with Ned to get beer illegitimately (and clearly illegally). I personally didn’t like the vase subplot

This episode was a tense one, but not in the melodramatic sense. The previous episode’s tension was when Gemma would eventually be told about Lewis and Belle’s tryst. This episode’s tension was whether Gemma and Lewis’ separation would be permanent. I did like the elderly patient subplot. However while it was done well, I didn’t care for the convenience of

After the melodrama at the end of the last episode, it was nice to have this episode be so subtle when it came to the characters discovering Lewis and Belle’s tryst. I liked the writers’ choice to have Justin to be the first to make the discovery, it was a smarter choice to have the character who has been on

I’ve been stating that the majority of the episodes in this season have been hits and misses, this one certainly wasn’t. I knew that Lewis and Belle wouldn’t find Ned, it’s too early in the season for them to be reuniting and it was too easy. Instead, for a twist we meet Ned’s girlfriend and discover he has a son

The episode was one of the best episodes of House Husbands. I have constantly stated that Abi is an unlikeable character, in this episode my opinion on her completely flipped. Abi has always been proud and arrogant as a doctor, however this episode is the first that actually displays her talent in an accurate and pure way. Just the same,
