And you talk about Ian misreading signal; What do Max & Tanya (each) have to do to turn the other off for good? Max cheated on Tanya repeatedly, and Tanya tried to bury Max alive! I hope they keep up with their regular dental visits because a full set of teeth is the only thing keeping them off Jerry Springer!
But, as usual, it will be fun to watch!

I wouldn't worry too much about it; if the current Moon can't do it, there'll be a new one along soon.
And Lola? Another addition to the Chavalance.

It's great finally to see a really nice man, although it would be fun to see him get angry but not hurt.

I did love her wedding, although i found it a bit strange that she invited Jack, who is her ex-husbands brother (her ex-brother-in-law) and who also used to be her boyfriend. And why was Max invited, i mean in real life, you wouldn't invite your ex-husband and his new girlfriend to your wedding, thats just strange, still, ya gotta love Max&Tanya as a couple!!
