she did but that Ryan is a muppet, all he wants is attention and to be offended .

Absolutely. Drops a complete bombshell on Kevin out of nowhere and then gets annoyed by a bit of a double take reaction. I think anyone would be slightly taken aback in that scenario but given time to process would be fine.

Haha remember heather's line...Bob loves the lesbians!

That Ryan guy seems to be the one that has the problem with being Transgender, he didn't even explain to Hughie son properly n just jumped to thinking that he has a problem with Trans. He was just shocked and trying to process it.

Renee saying to Ryan " i bet you were you were a pretty girl" i did laugh

That was progressive

The thing about trans people, like most people they just want to live their life without any hassle. The issue has come up in the first 5 minutes with every character he's interacted with so far. Poor writing. My old boss was trans, she sent an email out to all our clients and she gradually started living as a woman. I don't think it was ever even discussed after that. Not with clients, staff and certainly not strangers.

What they should have done was introduce Ryan as a character and not reveal for a good few episodes that he was transgender. I've no idea why this storyline is so rushed, it feels very odd : everyone is discussing him being transgender and we don't know the first thing about his character or personality.

They have really cocked up this storyline, appalling writing, appalling acting. Pats all round in the writing room no doubt for touching such a subject but whats the point of doing an edgy storyline if you're going to make a balls of it!

Isn't that what Ryan did?

The introduction of Ryan is the worst. He is just so unlikeable. You'd swear he told Kevin his favourite colour was blue.... not that he used to be female the way he reacted when Kevin was taken aback by the revelation!

He's also turned Jackie into a really annoying character and I used to like her.

Are they offering Doug a job that DOESN'T pay ... this is a shambles

Lets see Hannah's promiscuity

What's the craic with the MARKETPLACE? Manson was running it??

She told Christiano a few months ago she was taking a step back from that to concentrate on "the group". I sense Manson is lying about this deadline just to get Ronan on board..

Very very interesting storyline, I have to say I'm fascinated. Even the music inside Cult HQ is unnerving and gives me the creeps. Emmet is 100% brainwashed now he does everything Manson says and watching them manipulate Hannah is uncomfortable viewing. I knew from the off that this could be a completely fresh and original plot and so far its very intriguing. Manson preys on anyone with a hint of weakness and it all seems to be to completely sign up everyone to the Phoenix Way mode of thinking..

I know, I know, FC have a rep for screwing up these long storylines but credit where its due, its been spot on so far.

Did Emmet get a personality transplant? WTF?

I think you mean transphobic

I'm a little like Renee just curious and full of stupid statements/questions!

Fair play to Hannah, at least she seems to have a conscience.

Emmett and Miriam are a right pair though.
