  Come on, Alistair, time to tell the silly girl to stop before she causes you any real trouble.

  Come on, Alistair, time to tell the silly girl to stop before she causes you any real trouble.  I,ve just posted on another thread that I find it incomprehensible that Alistair hasn't spoken with Shula about his misgivings about this situation.
  
  Erin may not be a child, but she's not that far off. She is obviously desperately seeking a father figure. Alistair is supposed to be 52 and should be a aware of his responsibilities to his wife, his stepson, his business and his profession.
  
  So far he's not shown the strength of character needed to tell her very firmly that he feels it would be wise for her to be mentored by someone else. Silly man.

  Erin is seeking a father figure? That's not how it comes across to me.
  
  I think that Alistair is aware of his position, but what to do is perhaps not entirely straightforward. If he handles the situation the wrong way, who knows how Erin will react, and what accusations she could make against him? Or how Shula may react if she doesn't believe him?

  Good point, Lakey_Hill. He's now in a very difficult position but the sooner he tells Shula the better. I think she would believe him if he showed her the texts. So far nothing has happened but alarm bells are ringing loud and clear.

  What sort of relationship does he have with Shula that he can't talk to her about Erin? Time to put a stop to this now. I always knew Erin was bad news. Poor Daniel

  I would hope that she would, but she is so desperate for Daniel to have a girlfriend, and so apparently impressed by Erin, that she might try to dismiss it as youthful enthusiasm or Alistair getting the wrong end of the stick.
  
  I find it odd that Erin would really fancy someone like Alistair. If he was 42, maybe, but 52? Does she really fancy him, or is she playing some kind of sick game with him?

  TELL.SHULA.NOW!
  The sooner the better. And show her the weird texts.
  But of course he won't, and it'll all blow up in his stupid face.
  
  Although this would be the perfect opportunity to get a very belated revenge on Shula and her wild infidelities (remember when she had an affair with Richard, Usha's then-other-half whilst going out with Alistair?).
  
  I for one wouldn't mind if Shula's bubble of self-regarding pomposity were to be burst- long overdue. Seems a little unfair on poor Daniel though,
  (not that I like him), just as he thinks he's going to get his rocks off.
  
  Daniel: "Whhhhaaaaatt????"

  Yes my immediate thought was that he should show Shula the text messages and say, 'what do you think? she's getting a bit over-familiar isn't she?' without mentioning the arm-stroking, lovely blue eyes and frivolous giggling.
  
  Far better to tell Shula now, but it's going to be awkward isn't it - Shula thinks erin and Daniel are an item.

  To be fair it only got really obvious with the latest text message and he hasn't really had a chance to tell Shula yet. I bet we'll get an inner soul searching on Thursday about whether he should or shouldn't. So we may not know if he will until next week (they've still got quite a few episodes to drag it out).
  
  Of course he should tell her. They're married for a start and at least if it does get heavy he'll be able to tell her she knew about it all along and it wasn't his fault.
  
  On the other hand, knowing what a censorious old baggage Shula is and how she's quite likely to leap to the wrong conclusion and accuse him of leading Erin on, would you want to tell her something like that?
  
  I wonder if he'll discuss it with David instead? Now that would be interesting. But I don't think David's been in AmX.

  Is there any reason why Al should not BE a "father figure" to her if she needs one?
  
  The problem is if she wants something more intimate!

  Do you get the feeling that it is a father figure that she is looking for? She has more or less dumped Daniel, and is writing him distinctly personal texts, and commenting on his gorgeous eyes. It's not theway that most teenagers interact with their friends' fathers, or at least I don't think that it is. Possibly if she had known him all of her life, she'd be sending him kisses, but not on their acquaintance.

  Sunny sends ME xx's, so I don't think they mean much amongst the young!

  Kisses on their own in a text are nothing to worry about, but taken in conjunction with the texts themselves, it's a different matter.
  Alastair must surely know that this isn't normal teenage girl behaviour with a much older man whom she actually hardly knows.

  Would it help if he put the little minx over his knee for a good spanking?

  Why should he be? He's not her father, and she's not a child

  She seems to feel the need, and he is good with other people's children.
