i don’t think she’s game playing. I think she genuinely wants him to go elsewhere, she desperately wants to go elsewhere but doesn’t know how to shake him off. He’s confusing her with his declarations and she knows he’s hurt.
If she genuinely wants him to go elsewhere, she had plenty of chance to dump him for good. Far from shaking him off, she's going back to him. Bonkers! I totally agree he's too intense and his declarations are too much, which is why she needs to not encourage it. I was so glad when she declined a cuddle the other day, but now she's opened the bloody door again instead of slamming it shut and barricading it. I don't think she's gameplaying, but she's pretty dense and insecure so falls for his devotion to give herself an ego boost, which isn't good for either of them. It's a v unhealthy dynamic.
As for not liking Paige, I'd be delighted with her chatter if she turned up as a paramedic, think I'd find it quite soothing, but on TV, christ, she doesn't half bore on. She comes away from an encounter and repeats the entire thing verbatim and it sends me to sleep. Agree that she's got this different mode for some guys too - like her 'anything goes' persona with Dami, cackling at stuff she'd hate if Jacques did it to her, and the overdone flirtation with Adam. I guess she's young and not the smartest cookie so isn't going to be a riveting conversationalist. Makes me miss the likes of Antigoni!
