I need to say first up that Happy Valley is a tremendous show. A masterclass in how to write, direct and act a drama. Its brilliant.
Clare is seriously overdue a proper, plain and honest chat with Ryan about Tommy. Stringing this element out has become immensely tiresome.
Here you go: Ryan, the reason I don't like Tommy is that 1. Your mum said he raped her, Tommy of course may say differently but that's what she told me. She was in such a low place she hung herself 2. He kidnapped and raped your aunt 3. He murdered a colleague of mine repeatedly running her over 4. He threatened to kill you by setting you on fire 5. He nearly killed me whilst I was saving your now aunt 6. He's murdered at least 2 other people.
I didn't tell you till now because these are very heavy subjects. I hope that once you've processed all this you can understand why I'm not ok with you seeing him. He isn't a good role model. He's damaged many people who love you.
Now if Ryan still sees his dad despite all that then blimey!
