I thought they have handled it well. We were told that clever camera angles would make people look closer to each other than they actually are. And, no children will be permitted on set, so they will just be referred to but not seen
First of the Soaps to take this on board, unless you count the dreadful mishmash, they have made of The Archers. It did seem a little strange that they jumped four months, but within very few episodes we will accept that- at least they are trying AND filming new episodes.
Do wish they would being to a conclusion the Yasmeen/Geoff story. Have done a good job with highlighting Cohercive Behavior, but it has gone on far too long. And as for Gary Windass, about time he got his come uppance - although when he killed it was very much self-defence and at the very least would, then have been manslaughter. Now he will go down for murder, concealing a body, etc.etc. The sooner the better please.
