dev's acting is deteriorating

Tbf, even Daniel Day-Lewis would struggle to look delighted to spend an evening with Mary.

this so far unseen character Omar the taxi driver is intriguing. Are they preparing for a story on grooming?

They only created him to compete with the Eastenders Omar character Nick Cotton.

I see the newcomers have set up a "community centre" they're going to try and radicalise Emily and Norris

tbf I can't see Emily being radicalised. She didn't like the spicy food. Norris however would thrive in ISIS.

Norris wouldn't get in isis due to his strange behaviour.
