I HATE HIM SO MUCH. Didn't Carla just a few months ago - or weeks? - decide not to have him and his girlfriend arrested when they stole from her? I really don't know why she isn't using that as leverage right now. But even despite that, he's taking great pleasure in making her suffer as much as Peter. And I know it shouldn't be the defining feature of her life, but - he knows his sister was raped not that long ago by a guy, and he still took quite great pleasure in humiliating her and making her beg and making her feel powerless. Like, no matter how hard done by you feel because of someone, there's a point at which you stop torturing a basically decent person. Maybe this is a message I really want to get across to the Coronation Street writers.
And I know what you mean about the show not hating him. My watching of it has still been patchy in the last few weeks, but I saw the episode last week where he was debt-collecting and obviously feeling all guilty about taking the Playstation off the little boy. Like we were supposed to feel sorry for him. Like he has a soul. HE OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T. I hope he and Tracy fall off a bridge.
And thank you, about Wiliam. As you can probably tell from this two-toned reply, I am pretty much dealing with it. It's just one of those things where the idea of having him put to sleep goes against the grain of the idea of looking after him. But I know it's for the best, and I have been sort of preparing for this for a while. It just seems weird that after 14 years, he's not going to be around anymore. I guess it's one of those terrible things where the longer you have to get used to an animal being around, the more likely you are to have to lose them soon. Oh well. It is for the best. He's been a really good dog.
