I think the Bernie character has grown into herself recently. I’m not convinced by the raver side of her that keeps resurfacing, but she’s a lot more three dimensional than she used to be. She’s got so much to deal with. She realises she was an unfit mother, has lost her son, was rejected by Kit and now her lovely SIL has gone, too. She is trying to make up for being hopeless in the past, but needs to look out for herself as well as others, I think. Maybe not by dropping Es and picking up miscellaneous electricians though
.
Dev was verging on bullying her. I know he was trying to help, but he was the same with Asha. He is so sure he’s right and just browbeats people into submission. He’s such a dreadful actor that it’s hard to know what is bad acting and what is his overbearing character though.
