what did he "get away with" mod?

Mates indeed! He's everbody's mate the stealthy, attention seeking rascal.

No I wouldn't. I respect Marcus for sticking up for Freddie. Bea is (or was) also Marcus' friend remember and I imagine it was very difficult for him to bring it up with Bea without her causing a fuss. All Siavash does is tip toe around the issue.

I like him but he is my least favourite of the three.

lol "attention seeking" for NOT getting involved ...given that Enid's point was he "disappeared into thin air". Logic fail Mr Shankly :P

Vash does good not get involved in silly petty arguements.

:bigsmile:

Maybe Marcus knows the public dislike bea and jumped to the chance to bring it up knowing that conflict with her would make him look good. ( I don't think this nor am I that cynical but this "whatif" game could go both ways.)

He's shrewd enough to know when to play up and when to stay quiet. His whole rebel facade is based on being seen as wild and radical. He also wants to been seen as pleasant and kind ( which he generally is i think. ) I'd just wish he'd stop these pseudo crusades. One of the first things to annoy me was his behaviour when nomiantions were announced. He's have his fingers in his ears saying '' It's me, it's me.' when everyone knew there was never any chance of that. He's like the clever kid at school who comes out of the exam hall telling everyone that he has failed when everyone knows all too well he's got a 100 percent pass. It's these small annoying traits that grate.

I thought his yellow leotard he was wearing in last nights hls was rather dashing!!
