Series 9 Episode 8 discussion

[Naivety]

What a rollercoaster ride that was! I wasn't sure whether Ruth would die or not. I was really worried about Harry on that roof. An hour just wasn't long enough for me.

I'm sorry but I'm relieved that Lucas has been written out and we can all move on. He was a great addition to the grid, but once he had started to turn, there was never going to be any redemption. Question is - did he jump off the roof or did he back away from Harry too much and just fall off?

Please can we not speculate about whether Lucas is alive or not. There was a scream from the street which made Harry turn around. There was his expression as he looked over the edge. He has definitely not survived that.

I'll save most of the Harry and Ruth stuff for the right thread but how disappointing that there wasn't just a little bit of fluff at the end for us. I also want to think that Ruth's tears at the end were because she was worried about Harry, or else it was a release of stress. I guess they might have been for Lucas because they showed everyone else looking a bit glum as well.

I'm desperately worried about Harry's future in the next series. I need some good Tea Lady optimism to keep me from thinking the worst. I hope they clear his name in the first episode and we can get on with business as usual, but I have a horrible feeling that it's all going to be dragged out.
