It was great. At first. Mark Charnock is an absolutely brilliant actor. When he gets the chance to really flex his acting muscles he proves just how good he is \u2013 and he did that this week. Plus Amelia Flanagan is obviously great, too. The scenes where the pair were sharing memories and messing about, were equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking.<\/p>\n<p>And then April told Marlon everything that had happened to her. And that was brilliant too. We were so relieved when Marlon announced they had to go to the police.<\/p><section class=\"widget block-30 widget_block mb-4\"><div class=\"mb-3 stories-slider-container overflow-hidden w-[100%]
