No. Just no.

Spoilers: Adam set to cheat on Sarah in new Corrie scandal?

Trouble in paradise.

brain: it seems like problems are happening. would you like to pretend they’re not and think about fictional characters instead?

me: yes please

So, I'm a (very)latecomer to Foyles War, into series 5 of the box set dvd (a lockdown gift from a loved one).

I can't believe I haven't noticed this wonderful programme before.

I may be alone in this but I find the intimate relationship scenes between Foyle and Andrew utterly mesmerising.

So much warmth conveyed with so little physical contact. Wonderful stuff.

Again, why had it taken me this long to watch this show? 😊

Finn’s only been dead a month but now it’s like he never even existed. How hard is it to mention him? How hard is it for Vic to say how happy Finn would’ve been to see her adopting? Or for Adam to say how much Finn would’ve wanted to meet Isaac? Or for someone to suggest Isaac have the middle name Finn? Or for Tracy to say “at times like this I ask myself what would Finn do”? How hard is it for the villagers to reference him? Everybody’s going on about Emma’s death and who killed her but no one can reference the horrific and unfair murder of her son? What’s the point of a shocking death if there’s no aftermath? What’s the point of SSW if it has no real emotional impact on the village?

The only reason I can think of why they’ve erased Finn and his death from the show is because they’re planning on having Chrissie kill Lachlan, and since they’re doing the ‘mother kills her son’ story twice in 3 months they have to act like the first story didn’t happen to minimise how repetitive it is. If that isn’t true then the aftermath of Finn’s death is simply pathetic storytelling.

This makes sense👏🏼

Seems Victoria and Adam have forgotten about Finn. All smiles without a care in the world. I thought Finn was a brother and a best friend.

And btw, it seems Moira is a bit unhappy. Either she wants time with baby or she can’t be as happy about it like the others.

spoiler alert: it's a soap so characters will die regardless of sexuality, e.g James, Val, Katie, Donna, Joanie, Holly, etc etc

uhhhh when have i ever said that he died because of his sexuality lmao? i reblogged something that implied that but i didnt say it?? i literally said in my post that he might still have died even if people liked him?? also the problem i have w the people that you named is that they all got storylines? proper, detailed, long storylines. finn’s only ever been an extension of someone else’s. the problem i have is that they brought in another gay character so they could have that “rep” but never let him be in a relationship that didn’t end badly, or portray finn negatively. i’m bitter about the way he was treated, and if he’d died after a shitton of good storylines, and had his death about HIM, rather than emma or ross or moira, i’d probably be fucking okay with it. don’t send me these kind of asks because i’m allowed to be pissed off and i’m not hurting anyone by calling out emmerhell’s dickery towards one of their only lgbt characters

[likethemtrashy]

they literally throw salt in the wound by having tracy call about having a date for Finn while he’s out in the cold darkness bleeding out. As the audience, this was an actually shock moment to see that the person who in fact got shot was Finn but as someone invested in the characters and seeing yet another lgbtqa character get dealt such a shitty hand, I’m just left feeling bitter. Finn may not have been everyone favorite character but I always thought he had so much potential. Joe is brilliant, I just thought he deserve more and so did Finn.

What fucking arsehole of a producer would break these three up permanently 😡😡😡😡😡

Finn - dead man walking

So is he?

I believe so and it’s just fucking me right off... 

There is no glory in a “big” death event... within a few days everyone acts as though nothing has happened and a lovely character with so much more potential is sacrified for a stunt driven media week. 

Are the Bartons - with the exception of Moira - being culled?  They’re obviously not MacLeod’s favourites with Ross getting very little screentime either.
