memories warm

Lost a wife, lost a child, lost his whole family, is an alcoholic, has connections so high, he's the guy the government calls when they need a job done.

Raised those good men Joe and Jamie, almost fathered Millie (are we absolutely sure he didn't?!).

He finds letters, teenagers, grown men who go only by the name Simo, spots fires no one else can apparently see.

The ladies swoon over him, the men want to be him. He can poison you, but you'll love him anyway because his heart wasn't in it, killing you that is, not really. Because if it had been, you'd absolutely, totally be dead. That rare combo of SAS agent/alcoholic/death faker that's so appealing to men and women alike.

He only wears one suit, and a red tie to signal to us all that not only does he have ocd and ptsd, he's also been to hell and back!

Oh, and he's really good at holding his breath.

What a guy. We are so, so blessed.

April's ordeal with Ray - Dawn's past

Even Ross and Laurel got a casual carjacking mention.

But when there is a story of a 14 year old setting fires at Robert's farm, nothing. Andy was 14. He set a fire. It was a barn. His mum died.

It's so unreasonably bad it should be illegal. No one actually really cares that Ross stole Laurel's car over a decade ago, it's a soap, we get it, it's water under the bridge. But apparently that was deemed important enough to mention.
