I’ve lightheartedly mentioned this elsewhere but I do wonder if something dreadful (excellent?) is going to happen to Lynda. She seems to have been set up for it by falling out with everyone recently - even Robert was critical of her - so they could all feel guilty when she is deaded/disabled/horribly ill/whatever. Now I notice she’s not in the cast list for the two weeks commencing 15th March - while Robert is.
I was, barely, daring to hope the same thing, TFM. However, the DM diary elsethread (thank you, Janie, as ever) doesn’t read that way to me.
It is NOT wicked to wish for the death of another if that other is fictional. And even if the another is real, there’s nothing wrong with having a preferred order, is there? ;- )
Maybe it’s Lily. She’s in this week and not for the two following. No, can’t be because Russ is ‘offering his support’ (can’t wait!) and we can assume if Lily has followed her father’s footsteps, then he’d be needing support, as did Nigel, come to think of it.
I wondered if they might attempt the permanent disability story they dodged with Nigel. But deaded would be better, or would it?
Either way, it will be something to do with Gav messing up, and Philip will be badly affected (sued?) because it is his firm that was hired to do the work. That’s wot I think.
Yes, I think there are strong indications that it’s Lynda. Absent for two weeks but Robert is in, Oliver bearing the brunt because the accident happened at Grey Gables, Robert getting bad news - Lynda is in a coma, Freddie is there because he feels terrible for not accepting her apology.
Because, as you might have noticed during our by now quite lengthy cyber-acquaintance, I am a pessimistic soul. Glass (regularly) half empty - but that’s another issue entirely
Look at it this way. If she’s not deaded, then some dreadful comeuppance might befall her. Indeed, she’s had a couple of huge set-backs of late which have shaken her hitherto unassailable self esteem: being wrong about Freddie and the failure of her campaign.
I never wish for the death of my most-loathed characters for that exact reason. I live in hopes that someone will see through Helen and tell her to get lost.
