The entire Audrey storyline is just embarrassingly bad. How can these writers be happy to put their names to this crap?
Audrey owned grasmere drive with Alf Roberts, successful businessman and her a successful business woman. There is no way they wouldn’t have had life insurance on Alf to cover the mortgage when he died. if they even had any mortgage left when he died. Audrey is in her 70’s and still working full time, also entitled to state pension, and I’m almost certain she will have no mortgage. There is no way she doesn’t have savings. But let’s say she doesn’t and really can’t afford to repair dry rot, she can sell the house, yes it will sell even with dry rot, not for as much as market rate if it didn’t have dry rot but it’s what a 3/4 bed detached house in the suburbs? Audrey could buy herself a one/two bed flat in Victoria Court with what she would get from the house and still have some left over.
And yes, why haven’t Gary and Sarah offered to move into Audrey’s while Gary repairs the dry rot? Makes complete sense.
Also think it’s about time the street behind the terrace was renovated. Gary and Seb could get loads of work from it and then Gary and Sarah could move into one of the houses. They could get a mortgage. Both working full time and paying no rent at David’s so able to save. That’s if Gary stops trying to singlehandely create the next generation with his testicles.
Steve’s acting was appalling. He was brilliant with the baby loss story with Michelle but aside from that he should just stick to comedy stuff.
I thought Amy was really good in the clinic when she said “I’m 14!” After the nurse asked if she was sure she wanted to terminate. Was it just me that thought the nurse seemed really reluctant to allow Amy a termination? I could easily see lots of teens walking out of that appointment and thinking they couldn’t go back to take the pills as the nurse was really offputting.
