He's the man who puts the OAP in soap serial Killer.
Nevertheless, we’ve noticed that there are a few Silas haters out there. People are using words like ‘boring’ and ‘dragging’ to describe the storyline.
Now, don’t get us wrong – we find him infuriating too. He needs to be stopped. You know what though? You can’t help but admire the man. He just brings a certain…'je ne sais quoi' to the field of serial killing, you know?
Not convinced? Maybe you will be after reading this. Here are ten reasons why we think Silas is The Best Serial Killer Ever:
#1: He has his own murder kit. It includes a good chardonnay and a picnic hamper.
#2: He speaks almost exclusively in chess-based riddles. Here he is baffling the life out of his fave playmate Lynsey. Just look at the be-fuddlement on her face.
#3: He actually organised his own vigil and inquiry into the deaths of India and Jenny. He bleeding killed them!#braveorstupid.
#4: He apparently has the master key to every house in Chester. Lock your doors, it won’t make the slightest bit of difference. Check him out here having a gas round at Lynsey's gaff.
#5: Rather than patronise a gym, he likes to work out in precarious locations like the one above. We call it danger-cise.
#6: He is invincible. Quite an important criteria in the stakes for 'Best Serial Killer Ever', this one. Who else could muster the energy to crawl to an airport and board a plane to France immediately after surviving THAT crushing blow? He even had the fore-thought to pack his case in advance.
#7: He is the only serial killer we can think of who dresses like comic-book character Andy Capp. See more evidence here...
#8: Nor is he afraid to sport a cardigan.
#9: He has the bare-faced cheek to lecture others on the importance of staying safe online. Seriously, the man's neck is actually made of brass.
#10: Finally, the poor old dear has a heart condition, for crying out loud! Doesn't that warrant any sympathy?
…Okay, scratch that last point. The rest still hold water though…
It can't be denied anymore; he's a master of his craft, a leading force in serial killing. So, STOP HATING ON HIM, HATERS. #justsaying.
P.S. We've just heard rumour that Jeff Rawle, who plays Silas, has been contracted until the year 3011, so he's not going anywhere soon...
