Anisha and Rex

[Miss Mid-City]

I can’t explain!

Maybe the good thing is she’s been up front about it and he’s accepted it – even though we suspect he’s not being honest with himself.

Anisha doesn’t want to lose the option of dating someone who’s solid, nice but boring. And Rex doesn’t want to lose the option of dating someone who’s vibrant and focused and a bit unpredictable.

The problem obviously arises when (as with Pip and Toby starting off with their “no strings”/“friends with benefits” fling”) one person in the couple decides they want something more than casual. That sets into motion a whole new relationship dynamic. Then (again, as with Pip and Toby) you end up with a relationship you didn’t bargain for and didn’t really want because you’re with someone who can’t give you what you want. Good for Pip that she recognised it. Are we going through the same thing with Rex and Anisha?

The residents of Ambridge are often seem rubbish at normal, romantic relationships. There’s usually something unbalanced and unhealthy going on like a lack of commitment, staleness, emotional game playing or something predatory.

And all of Pip, Tom, Alice, Kate, Helen, Josh, Johnny are avoiding the normal grow up, have a child, get married, buy a house routine that my children adopted.

All these dysfunctional people and the closest to something stable are the Grundies!

I’m not entirely sure she knows what she wants. I get the impression that she left Scotland and a slightly claustrophobic relationship with her parents with the intention to not get into anything serious but Rex has confused things

Good points from all, it will be entertaining if Pip starts to show more interest in Rex as I think his heart really belongs with her and even if Anisha is not committed, she doesn’t like to loose, his 30th may be more interesting than expected.

“And Rex doesn’t want to lose the option of dating a girl”

FTFY 🙂

I think Anisha would be keener if Pip wasn’t a thing.

Fallon and Carpet are doing a pretty good job of being a normal couple.

Good prediction about Rex’s 30th, but perhaps not in the way we expected. Going off with a blonde?? It was said almost as a throwaway line by Krusty – the audible version of ‘blink and you’ll miss it. I fear this is going to be a drawn-out will they/ won’t they’ storyline. I’m afraid I don’t care for the characters enough to want to invest the time.

Perhaps Anisha will stop running with Rex and do some “coconutting” with Latif – he’s part of the horse racing nonsense, so I’d expect them to meet at some point.

Then she and Rex will both be in short-lived flings before they see that they’re meant to be with each other … Maybe?

It would be too easy for someone who’s unattached to find someone else who’s unattached and attractive in Ambridge, for it to be mutual, and for it to develop into a healthy connection. There has to be a good dollop of drama before there’s any romance.
