George and Elaine have no chemistry. None. As someone else said, she looks twenty years older than him. She doesn’t work as a step mum either, not when she has grandchildren older than Gina and Anna. Plus they have only been together just over a year, so what’s with all the talk of being a strong family/no one can break us rubbish. And Elaine saying the Marbella bar sale is ‘our money’.
I think it was pointless bringing in Linda’s mum to then make her focus on another family, instead of Linda and her children. She could be anyone, it’s not like they seem close at all.
It would have been much better to stick to the original plan of Linda and Sharon running the pub together, with Alfie still there too.
IMO
