THIS!
it’s actually quite normal to talk about exes, it helps in the healing stages. and also, if lisa can talk about becky, why can’t carla talk about peter… the double standards are weird…
@Sapphic_joy I *love* that beat after the moment where you can literally see them snap out of it/wake up. Carla realising what all those ~weird feelings~ over the past few months have been about, Lisa realising liking Carla isn’t “safe” because Carla isn’t quite as straight as she thought.
can we also remember that this is carla’s first relationship since peter ! like not only is she discovering her sexuality and falling in love with a woman for the first time, but shes also moving on from her marriage which was a HUGE part of her life & story. carla ily
burst out laughing at the "massage or partner" from Carla 🤭 she's admitted something massive here and I'm too afraid to say it after all the stuff on the tl last night 👀...
"well actually there's–" is a weird way to start a couple reveal to someone that you don't really know (a la "there's something we have to tell you") so in my head lisa was going to say "well actually there's this thing called being gay"
lisa’s upset is a combination of carla booking separate rooms and then not telling debbie they were there as a couple - she’s pieced together in her mind that that means she’s ashamed to be seen with her when in reality it’s not that at all
I fear I will never shut up about Carla being "comfortable in her own sexuality" it's so refreshing to see a character portrayed this way. There doesn't have to be shame or embarrassment about it, this is a terrible stereotype that's shown with most queer couples!
Comfortable in her sexuality oh Kate brooks thank you for guiding her down this path. Not everyone in the world has a big coming out story or is initially uncomfortable about being gay (for example) and it's nice not to watch it happen every time for every queer character on TV.
haha I'm so happy with the spoiler clip...
In no way does Carla feed into "oh yeah just friends me and Lisa", shes desperate for their happy bubble not to be ruined (gossip)+ imo, I think it should be on Carla's terms to come out about it all, would've been weird to reveal then?
Like it would've ruined the massage because she'd have been overthinking everything and so would Lisa probably (instead now she's gonna let her insecurities win oops). She literally said she doesn't want it to be like it was with Peter AT ALL. 😂
