Thank you for this history. The Matt/ James dynamic as compared to the Justin/James dynamic is an interesting aspect of this story line.
Kosmo has demonstrated encyclopaedic knowledge (as ever!) of the James and Leonie relationship. I had no recollection – and cared even less – that they had been together for 6 years or so. I found their contribution to last week’s episode(s) irrelevant.
Like a lot of characters, to me they seem entirely unnecessary and one dimensional.
To be fair my recollections of events in this case was helped by http://www.lowfield.co.uk where the Google search engine pointed me in the right direction (somehow I cannot get the same results from the BBC website).
I cannot disagree entirely with Miss Mid City (well whoever disagrees with a pretty woman?) but, as with the characterisation of Will which I have discussed elsewhere, the lesser characters are used to provide some sort of irritation or annnoyance to the main action and serve as a reminder of their existence on the planet and to enable some diversity. However these lesser players are always written “one way” and unlike those we hear regularly have less chance to appear heroic, kindly, positive or dynamic (or any show any redeeming features) because the period they spend in range of the microphones is so limited.
What I did note is that James always seems to be given money to go away and leave Ambridge alone. How old is he?
