Robbie looking through Will's phone
So. Well. Things didn’t finish up too well in Shieldinch this week, did they? And for Robbie they certainly didn’t start too well either, what with having his lovely flat trashed and then working himself up into a MAJOR tizzy when he found another man’s number in Will’s phone. Even here at RC Towers we had a moment of doubt. Could our Will have been cheating on Robbie? Would he be so cruel? Would he even have time considering the long hours he spends looking into Shady Sean’s underworld and saving the day in most crime-related incidents in Shieldinch?
For Robbie, the answer to all was a definite, paranoid ‘Yes’ and against the advice of Deek (and Kelly-Marie and Nicole and pretty much everyone who’d given it a moment’s thought) he stormed round to confront his rival!
But poor Robbie. Who could have guessed that Edward was Will’s dad and he would be so cruel and nasty about his own heroic son. Robbie was sent back to Shieldinch with a flea in his ear and regret in his heart. But he still managed to make it ten times worse by A) yelling at Will’s dad over the phone and B) not admitting to it with Will when he had the chance. Now, we will acknowledge that going through your boyfriend’s phone, shimmying open his LOCKED personal drawer and managing to systematically destroy his relationship with his father is all a teeny bit mental and Will had every right to be royally cheesed off at Robbie. But that’s just it. Cheesed off. Not violently elbowing him in the gut! We’re seeing a bit of a pattern here. It starts with Will losing his temper and doing something nasty to Robbie, Robbie running off and then getting coaxed back by Will and taking all the blame on himself. The words ‘cycle of violence’ are on the tips of our tongues, Robbie. No matter how bad you behaved no one deserves to be hit by their better half. Here’s hoping Robbie is able to stand up to Will as well as he stood up to Will’s Nasty Pop.
Tattie and Raymond weren’t getting elbowed in the side but they were getting stabbed in the back this week. Raymond trying to live through Murray and playing hard-man with his unknown car buyer spectacularly backfired when the mystery man turned out to be Sean himself! Ooh, Raymond even we were wincing at those sour grapes when Sean forced you to hand over your own money to pay for it. The big question remains…when is Sean going to stop?
Meanwhile, Tattie’s dreams of having a relaxing holiday were totally scunnered when Big Bob “accidentally” spent all the savings on a new computer for Christina. Low blow, Bob! Tattie was so looking forward to some fun in the sun after her year from HELL. She wouldn’t even let Molly and Christina tag along! Mind you, we would pay oodles of money to see what would happen if Molly had her way and she and Christina went to live it large in Ibiza! Any other takers? Shall we have a whip round?
Next week:
Doctor Dan is leaving. (One, two, three – Nooooooooooooo!) and Lenny seems about to put Sean on the naughty step.
Quote of the week:
MOLLY:
Listen, how do you think you’ve done in the exams?
BIG
BOB: She’ll have done brilliant.
MOLLY:
Let’s hope so. Otherwise, all the effort you put into them would be a complete
waste of time.
