It’s not boring to be like “fuck Jon Sen/Kate Oates”. You’ve stated the truth here. They’ve ruined the Carter’s with sheer stupid storylines and what we as viewers are supposed to take from it is that Mick & Linda are a strong couple.

First and foremost the abuse storyline didn’t need to involve an affair, quite literally everything that happened could’ve done without Linda sleeping with Max.

Leaving the Vic, as you say was a big mistake but the fact they done this with an alcoholic storyline to then not even have Linda even touch upon the alcoholism storyline these days (I know she’s left but prior, pregnant or not alcoholism isn’t something you can just stop, pregnant or not and to not even see a scene of her slightly tempted is a complete farce of the storyline and a joke against addiction).
