Ah, I wondered what had happened to his passport.
I agree that the Christmas storylines will struggle to compete with this one, but also that it's good that this appears to be coming to a close - I'm sick of it.
I fear for Jenny - her storylines have been a bit rubbish though. I never really believed her relationships - whether with Johnny, Leo or Stephen. I don't know why, but they just don't ring true. She didn't take off as manager of the Rovers either (in my mind). She just doesn't have the personality. I'm not sure where the scriptwriters can take her, so bumping her off might be a good way of writing her out.
Not Tim though, I hope. His character is a numptie, but a likeable one, and he and Sally make a good pair, and their relationship (without Elaine) is believable.
