EE:Billy's money problem

[Skylace]

Where on earth did this come from? And all of a sudden his attitude that he's the one who should be bringing in the money only? I don't remember him having a problem with Little Mo scrubbing toliets!

[Lostinthestates]

Funny isn't that! It seemed as if his money problems stemmed from illegal DVDs being sold on the square and hence nobody wanting to rent his DVDs anymore. I do not understand why he did not report that to the authorities and instead is going bust. Just a thought! But good point about Mo's toilet scrubbing

[Skylace]

Yeah, it does seem like that. Li sets up her stall for an afternoon and the rental store goes bust! How does that work?

I always preferred Little Mo with Billy. Honey is good for a laugh with her malaprop's but I'm just not that bothered by her character.

The totally ruined Little Mo when they started the her and Alfie plotline. However, the Little Mo before that I miss loads!

I too ma wondering where Billy's money probs have come from? Didn't Phil back him most recently in this business?

[Skylace]

Phil owns the business. So that is what is weird. Phil was by the video shop complaining about some bills, etc. So it's not making much sense anywhere. This is another reason I really think Honey is pregnant again. It will set Billy off the deepend thinking about another mouth to feed.

[Lostinthestates]

Yeah that sort of sounds true EE-style! It's funny how in EE nobody ever openly speaks about their problems and instead bottle them up making things just sooo much worse! Sort of funny

[Skylace]

It really is Lost. I've noticed that in a lot of soaps too. It's a bit frustraing but funny.

Yeah, how Pat seems to be the one having to keep all their secrets. It's stupid really, as any man worth his salt would tell Honey to go easy on the spending. It's not like they have well-paying jobs is it? I mean...to spend $50 on a giftcard for a friend looking after your child for a few hours is a bit much when you know you don't earn much. Better to show the appreciation by a thoughtful, less expensive gift until you can afford something nice.

I don't get Billy's money problems either - surely he's just the manger of the DVD store, so he should be getting a regular wage. Or - does he actually own the business and just rents the premises from Phil??

How long will we have to watch Billy silently(and painfully boring) suffer through their money problems? Phil being the owner would be the one that is responsible for the bills and Phil being Phil would be on top of his business ventures and not leave the financial stuff to a plank like Billy.

Ok, Billy finally had a good idea with the internet cafe but to turn around and leave the unbolted down computers unattended makes me think that he must of had a few epidoodles of his own.
