What is it about Effy’s episodes? Last year we had a whole load of drama as Tony scrambled to save her; this time round although it’s Effy that’s in control, they’re both still masively entertaining edge of your seat stuff. This year the emphasis was on humour, and we really got to know Effy a whole lot better than we have done before, and really warm to her. It feels like we’ve really seen her grow this series, what with having to be her older brother’s support system, when he was the one who used to get her out of the scrapes. And when we say scrapes, that's obviously an understatement as far as this girl's concerned.
We really loved new girl Pandora, hope she sticks around. If it's only just to freak Tony out a little more. Who would have thought a naive 16 year old would have intimidated THE Tony Stonem? And the relationship between Effy and Sid really made us laugh – getting bossed about by his best friend’s little sister - typical Sid. The Cassie and Sid make-up at the end was so realistic, and just what we had been waiting for. But we get the impression Cassie isn’t quite over the Sid/Michelle hook-up just yet. And we’re intrigued to see if she treats Michelle any differently the next time their paths cross.
We can’t quite feel the same desire for Michelle and Tony to get back together as we did with Sid and Cassie, as we don’t quite get what he’s done wrong. Can anyone shed some light on this? As we see it: he treated her like crap in series 1, tried to get her back, got hit by a truck and then tried to piece everything together in series II. He became ‘new’ Tony who was sweet but messed up, he told her he wanted her back and instead of supporting him as he tried to fix himself she got with his best mate. He’s told her he loves her and spent ages on the blower trying to get a response and she’s holding out. We don’t quite get why she’s holding out now, when he seems to be exactly what she wanted him to be in series 1. All a little confusing.
Anyway, enough of all that. We’re really looking forward to episode 8 next week. We’ve got a feeling it’s going to be pretty explosive stuff, we can’t believe there’s only three episodes left. It’s just not enough!
