"Never threaten a lawyer, Susan.It's really not wise."
skteosk17 March 2009
Warning: Spoilers
A rare Christmas Day in Ramsay Street, presumably to mark Harold's last Christmas.It's fitting he's the centre of attention, although initially it seems as though he's only in danger of eating too many Christmas dinners.As the episode progresses though, it becomes clear he is having to force himself to avoid showing illness and eventually he cracks.It's a shame that, having paired him with a sympathetic if slightly patronising Steph throughout the episode, they decide to make Bridget the voice of his conscience.It's also a shame she seems to have taken sanctimonious pills from...just about everyone else on the street and comes pretty close to saying that being pregnant is worse than having inoperable cancer.

The opening sequence of Sam at home on her own, lying to her mother about the fab day she's having, while Dan has a family Christmas across the road is nicely done at first but goes on a bit long.Any sympathy for Sam evaporates when it becomes clear she's turned down the opportunity of spending Christmas with other people in order to drag Dan away from his dinner and bark at Libby.Although she does hold her own against ever superior Susan once again, which is nice.

Donna wears one of the most revealing outfits in television history and why is Bridget round at the Kennedys' first thing on Christmas Day? The constant references to Zeke being just out of shot get a bit annoying after a while as well.
