I think about everything my mother went through when Dad left us, and then to find out he was murdered in the US where he was hiding from the English tabloids and investors whose money he lost was equally hard. Being abandoned then his death. She hated him for what he had done, but I’m sure deep down, part of her still loved him, so to lose him what felt like twice really hit her hard. It took her years to come back from that, and it wasn’t until she met Oliver that we saw her finally start to bloom into the beautiful woman she is today.

Harper: Besides, the solution is easy! One of you give her a grandbaby.

Rachel: Why us?

Amanda: Yeah, you’re the oldest.

Harper: And you have the boyfriend, plus kids give me hives.

Rachel: Ughh, here we go, the “I’m never going to marry or have kids” speech. It’s getting old, just like you. Once you turn forty, your time is running out. Find a man and have his baby so then I don’t have to.

Harper: Now we both know that’s not happening, so Amanda, we are relying on you.

Amanda: Wow, nothing like putting the pressure on me and Stephen. The poor guy hasn’t even put a ring on my finger yet.

Rachel: Why don’t you propose to him? Why does it always have to be the guy?

And there is the strong opinion of a modern woman in her twenties who is ready to take what she wants from the world. I’m so glad she has the confidence to stand up and live her life on her terms. I live a life like that, but mine comes from the trauma of my father, but Rachel was too young to really feel everything Mum and I did.

Her confidence just comes from the fact that she is a millennial baby, and they have grown up in a world where women are fighting for equality, or to be honest, they aren’t fighting, they are just taking equality in any way they want to in their lives, and it’s exciting to watch.

Amanda: Because I’m a romantic and that’s what I want, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Rachel: Woah, I never said there was, it’s just not for me.
