Yy to all of these comments.
Michelle and Robert's sex life. This started when she discovered the lump on his testicle and has never gone away. I guess it was relevant to that storyline (but no less cringey). They've just built on the idea of them as a highly sexed (oversharing) couple to introduce some violence.
I wasn't sure if Ali was using Carla to hurt Michelle but after that episode i definitely think he is. He's gone from avoiding her at all costs to socialising with her via Carla all the time. Looks like he's changed tack and decided to punish her.
I also hope there's not a creepy story for Aidan and Summer but i feel like groundwork is being laid for something. Maybe she will develop a crush, as a distraction to all the Billy/ Todd/ Phelan stuff and he will have to deal with it without hurting her.
I also don't recall Rana's parents stipulating that she couldn't see Kate, only that she and Zidane had to keep up appearances for 1 year. I get that they don't approve of her being gay but surely that horse has well and truly bolted. They were in a private home, not holding hands in public etc.
Oh AND what sort of half a tale did Rana and her parents tell Alya, that resulted in her leaving the house believing that Zidane didn't know what was going on???? Surely the FIRST thing you'd say is 'Zidane knows. We've come to an arrangement.'
