What was Mel doing there in the first place?

[@ginacarlson2633]

The story line was Her Brother was the local vicar and her father lived with him in the COE church vicarage and she had come back to Waldord to be near them - which of course you probably know all this already 😊❤😂

​@@ginacarlson2633You know I'm surprised that Barry and Robbie fancied Mel straight away as they saw her. But wasn't Barry had a personality transplant into a loveable buffoon bumbling clown here or is he still a streetwise womanizer dodgy geezer and a bit of a player wide boy when he first came back in 1994 well I can't remember remind me.

Roy's new stock arrives - and he's sold a car by lunchtime. Frank is impressed by Roy, but Roy is suspicious of Frank's questions, thinking he's jealous. Peggy pushes Frank to move in with her but he is still resistant. Ian's mystery shop is opened and he reveals 'Beales Market'. But the market traders are up in arms when they find that Ian is undercutting them. Melanie comes into the shop asking for a job. Ian thinks she's overqualified but gives her a go and tells her she should start tomorrow. Robbie plucks up the courage to invite Melanie to the toga party and Barry tries to chat her up in the pub, but Louise tells her that Barry is the local 'octopus'. Huw suggests Robbie make some vodka jelly for his party - but Sonia finds the jelly in the fridge and innocently offers some to Martin and Nicky. They get drunk and start throwing paint around the flat. Robbie is distraught.

Yeah true watched it and great but one question remember Barry early years when he first came. When did he changed into this loveable buffoon clown of the square and what year exactly he has transition do you know why they changed Barry into this clown the reason why.
