I reckon you're one lucky little girl to have someone who loves you so much.

It’s the fact that it feels like Jay is REPLACING Callum and Ben in Lexi’s life. The way they framed this episode especially… Lexi is going to resent the fuck out of Ben.

yeah that's what feels most troubling to me tbh

I don't think EE are intentionally trying to say straight parents are more valid than gay ones, I think it's just really shitty writing where they're telling us Jay has any sort of relationship with Lexi when they've never, ever bothered to show us that. But intended or not, it's really grossing me out. And sidelining Callum's own relationship with Lexi for their shitty plot purposes just makes me so sad. Spoilers can be misleading so I'll keep watching, but I'm furious.

expecting us to blindly believe that jay is even close to being on par with ben (or callum lbr) as a father to lexi without ever showing it as if he's entitled to that status just by virtue of being married to lexi's parent - a courtesy that didn't extend to callum who actually made an effort with her - feels like a double standard to me.

also whether it's intentional or not, the writing validating assholes like this speaks for itself:

What really pisses me off is that up until the last couple of weeks, I could count Lexi’s appearances with Jay on one hand.

oh me too they literally did not interact one-on-one ever this storyline is so bizarre

#str8 ppl are just inherently better parents than us gays i guess 🤪

merriell

combining these cuz while i get what the first anon is saying, callum is gonna be there when lola passes so why would lexi be acting off with him? she's always been far closer to him than jay even if the writers suddenly want us to believe that jay is some sort of super dad

merriell

real talk if they actually try to make out that lexi has more of an attachment to jay than ben and callum i’m probably gonna have to stop watching cuz it’s straight up starting to feel like an attack on same-sex parents at this point

I need your support over anybody else’s, okay? I feel like I've got the whole world against me right now, and I cannot feel like I've got you against me as well.

jay essentially shitting on ben for being closeted, the constant erasure of ballum's marriage, and lola suddenly wanting to be baptized gives me the worst vibes btw
