Sorry about the hope thing. English is not my language and I had to use translate on google I’m sorry if it sound wrong

No no no no no, anon, you were fine! You were absolutely fine, and it was perfectly correct, I understood exactly what you meant, and where you were coming from. No worries at all, at all. 

I’d simply meant these discussions overall were starting to become something odd to read, in that for what seemed a sweet f/f ship (albeit with some cheating), now we’re just looking for how low the characters will go. It wasn’t about you or your choice of words at all, anon!

I hope, and I’m being optimistic here, that Kate founds out about the Habeebs offering Zee money fairly soon. I agree with your tags with Rana in the Rovers looking like she’s spiralling into a guilt-ridden depression and it makes me feel sad and anxious.

Me too! Honestly, anon, I did not expect it to hit me as hard as it did. She’s so alone? And I don’t even have really well written story and angst like on the Jan 8th ep to console myself with, I just didn’t get where Kate was coming from. Or I mean, I can, but I have to make more effort to get it, instead of it being so clear. Why was she so angry when she knew Rana couldn’t leave Zee right after Luke’s death?

But I digress. I hope that things become clear soon too, anon, but with the inclusion of Sophie and the telegraphing for even more depressed Rana and the spoilers we already have, I don’t think we’re going to have any letup any time soon. I think this is just the start of a long decline . And it’s such a specific thing she’s going through! Continuing to choose your family over coming out and becoming depressed as it all settles in. And us watching and knowing that some of us have made that exact decision and are living the consequences that we can see play out so painfully.

Thanks for getting me absolutely hooked on the angst fest that is Kana. I love reading your tags! It seems they’re trying to keep the angst at 1000% and certainly going to drag it out longer than I even anticipated after seeing tonight’s eps. Also wondering with Corries 100 characters that the thing that’s going to come up short are the transitions? I feel like any time they want the story to take a turn it’s just a drastic shift, while the juice of the storyline seems pretty well developed

Yeah, it definitely seems like the rotated screentime makes some storylines move in fits and jerks. Especially with them being fairly lower-level characters. Rana in particular, who is really at the center of this story for all the things she is and all the people she pulls into this, has had some really long gaps in screentime, though Bhavna’s a champ and covers for that masterfully. 

Overall, I think we do get an okay picture of things, even if we have to massage our headcanons a bit.

Oh, and you’re welcome. 😀 A great time to be watching, eh.
