Does anyone else detest Rosie?

Yes! And we saw in the last ep that Rosie is also a manipulative little twat who is going to milk this situation with Jude for all its worth.

She's given a morning after pill that she refuses to take with an excuse, invites Jude into her bed (she's some piece of work whining to the dad and Kim that Jude was always complaining about not having his bed--so she manages to blame a male teen who's randy as a bull at that time of life for everything after she brought him into her bed); then we see her flushing the m.a. pills down the toilet.

She also slaps down Kim immediately on her suggestion she start taking birth control pills. So without even seeing a consultant to see what kind of birth control she might employ (which a young woman would do if she wanted to control her reproduction), she's refusing full stop by playing the cancer/mum card and stopping that line of inquiry altogether.

Rosie's seen the way to Valhalla and out of her scabby dirty council flat. And it's Jude, his middle class dad and everybody else she's been able to manipulate from the off.

So did Rosie, knowing Jude at school who maybe told Rosie and others at school that his mom's partner Kim was writing a blog about pregnancy--target Kim right up front by writing to her blog to draw the family in? Was she that savvy?

Innocent? Pull the other one. Kim and Company have fallen at every turn for Rosie's little plans.

That put a slightly different spin on the teenage-mum-of-one story. Her "arc" was interesting--we started seeing her one way at the beginning but increasingly it became apparent she's been in the driver's seat from the time she targeted Jude and led him into an alley! haha

She's not just gormless. She's taking everybody for a big ride by manipulating everybody at every turn! LOL Best case, Jude's middle class parents insist Jude marries her in a couple of years and she's set. Worst case, in a few years, she's got 3-4 kids the state is going to support for her life and theirs in a furnished council flat with all the trimmings. Either way, she's set.

That was a big reveal for ep 6. That and the big one that Roanna and Simon's dad used to have a relationship. WO!

Well in all fairness Jude's folks are so wrapped up in their own issues they are blind to Rosie's manipulation.

She is probably smarter than all of them put together....for a teenager she has managed to get a nice comfy ride sorted out for herself. Not bad going.

I wouldn't have been walking on eggshells like Susie but it seems upsetting Rosie was far worse than anything else so guess they too need to reap what they sow (no pun intended)
