The Gay Carter & The Father That Should Be



The Carters have been a brilliant addition to the square on EastEnders, their drama, amongst others have invigorated the show, and by the way, I think they're doing an amazing job.

But something they're doing particularly well with, is showing the world just what a father should be. Danny Dyer, a man who you expect to be a proper East End man who would throw a gay son out onto the streets (something I would have expected my own father to do) is actually appearing to be a brilliant role model as the perfect father.

The scenes where Johnny came out to his father, the emotions, was beautiful. A perfect father and son moment, and the true acceptance Johnny received was marvellous to watch. It was such a touching moment in television, and refreshing to not have a non-accepting father.

In fact this whole story had been dealt with great sensitivity, and has been great to watch. Good Job EastEnders and Dominic! Let's hope it stays this good!

Return to blogging?

As has been the general theme of my vapid last few posts, here I am, looking to blog again, to see if it will do any good. Lets start with an update based on the big milestones I kept missing in my previous posts. It is five years since my previous post, where I was a very naive 25 year old. Yes, I'm in my thirties now. Maturing like a fine wine I hope, but more likely like a piece of cheddar that dropped under the fridge. Back then I was 'still' living at home. I did not know back then that it would be another five years. Last year however, in May I bought my own home. Yes that's right, I'm a homeowner. The years of saving paid off.  I escaped the bully from the old marketing company and after a brief time working in Oxford, I have settled into a SaaS company where the last three years have blown by. I chop and change as to whether there is the right level of opportunity for me there, but I have a good support network there and I am doing something I enjoy; Contin...

Who Killed Lucy Beale? Suspects 15-11

Image
Now we're really getting in deep. We're on to part 7 of our suspect list, with some real likely killers and one psycho child. 15. Dennis Rickman Jr. This has to be the worst little shit in the history of fictional characters? He is such a little twerp who deserves a smack. His lies against Whitney pushing him just shows how evil he can be and I wouldn't be shocked in the slightest if he was a murderer. 14. Denise Fox Denise made the disgusting mistake of falling for Ian. How the hell did that happen? She was supposed to be in Oxford at the time of the murder, but that could be a shoddy excuse (just look at Mr Bates in Downton). Lucy actually helped Denise by keeping her kiss with Fatboy secret, and they never really had that much hatred between them. However, she did start to really detest Ian, and she would know how to hurt him, through his children.   13. Nick Cotton Nick is back, again... Whilst that means we've got a couple of months of Dot...
