I think it would be interesting if the writers turn Mack into a stereotypical Mumsnet selfish, lazy, still-obsessed-with-his-ex DP. There's bloody hundreds of the fuckers' partners posting on here. They could show Chloe starting a thread on Relationships.
'Does My Baby Dad Really Love Me?'
'Baby Dad broke up with his wife ages ago and he's still always talking to her. When I say ages ago, I mean two weeks. And when I say talking, I mean, oh never mind. Anyway, he wants to move next door to her or near enough. Neither us us have any money. Apparently renting this expensive house will be the answer to all our problems. Now he's drinking a lot and doesn't help. He says he loves me and The Little One but I don't know, there's just something not right that I can't quite put my finger on.'
