I'm not sure Ellie really did give him a chance, but to be fair to her after watching them have brunch. I found him very condescending, it wasn't just the aw you're so cute bit, it was also his reaction to her wanting to be a vet, "because you like dogs and cats" he really is coming over like he thinks she's thick.
I don't think either of them are interested in thr other, just alex is willing to play the game. I don't think he will play the love lorn doctor, just an angry one.
Also agree on Laura, she's 29 years old and acting like a giggling teenager. It's baffling.
I do think Georgia and josh like each other though, quite a lot and I think Georgia is actually very pretty.
Zara though, I found her odd. When Adam was opening up about being bullied and cheated on she just sat there, most folks would have asked about how they felt, blah blah but she just sat there and basically said "oh". Very strange,
