girlofpreyWell. So. Does Callum know about Richard Hillman then, or not? Doesn't seem like a thing Bethany or Sarah would really bring up lightly, but the significance of the cards doesn't make as much sense without it. People are never as impressed with the Hillman thing as I expect them to be.
Callum's irritation with David's brilliance was really pleasing me - as was David's hope that putting on a suit would fool a judge - but now...I feel like they're a bit all over the place with Callum's characterisation. I know I'm hoping for things that aren't going to happen, and I love assholes-who-have-a-feeling-somewhere-deep-inside a lot, but it's like sometimes he's full-on awful, like calling David a waste of space and threatening to 'end him' - and then days later he's all "I WILL GIVE YOU A LIFT HOME IF IT KILLS ME". The best reason they actually gave for that was that David still has Lily, and Callum knows Max might want to see his half-sister sometimes so they should make a vague effort to not kill each other, but that's still showing some regard for Max and what he's going to want outside of Callum himself. And then you have tonight, where Callum is IRRITATED that David would look after Max so well, and shows no emotion to David breaking down over how much he loves him. I don't know. I feel like I can't get a handle on him at the moment.
A part of me wants Callum to get Max so he can realise what a shit parent he is, and then - because he does sort of care - be hanging round at David's every other day, letting him do the nurturing so Callum can be the Dad. But I know that's not how the storyline's ultimately going to turn out (though I don't know what will happen this week). Sigh.
