i always felt bad for Heath, he was overlooked and never got any attention because it was always about Cathy, if cathy wasn’t so bad then bob would’ve trusted them at the party, he could’ve taken them and heath would’ve survived

I think the girls may have swapped and Angel was driving at the time of the crash. Be interesting to see how it plays out. The actress playing Cathy did a good job at showing how someone in shock reacts. It's completely normal to be in something like that and not be hysterically crying. Good on April for not following the crowd and deciding to not get in the car.

[@trt001YT]

Theroy: Angelica was driving 1) Cathy up till that point had made a point to drive carefully 2) Before they cut away from them they made comments of swapping drivers 3) Made a point of showing the two girls out of the car before anyone arrived 4) Less predictable story and a greater twist 5) Provides a storyline for Angelica who hasn't had one in a while 6) Cathy is already seen as the easy person to blame so will likely take the fall to protect her friend, especially as she came up with the idea to steal the car Probably wrong knowing my luck but definitely not out of the question 😂

[@BlueAndWhiteAreRight]

I'm glad angle is ok sad heath died thst cathy is trouble she needs locking up and bob needs to turn his back on her

[@traybeesley7008]

What a ridiculous comment. Whilst I'm aware that this is a soap and none of this is real, some of the comments on soap storylines are ridiculous. However preventable this character's death was,it was still an accident & Cathy is still a minor. Her father should definitely not turn his back on his child. She hasn't set out to kill him,all three of them entered that car at their own free will, in fact Heath and Angelica were pressuring Cathy to increase the speed and caused her to lose her concentration on the road,which more than likely caused the crash. Cathy will be devastated by the loss of her twin, nevermind the fact she caused his death by her actions. Bob will probably blame Cathy being that she survived and Heath didn't. He will not have the hindsight the viewer has of the conversations that took place in the car before the crash happened. Whether there will be flashbacks to the actual impact we will find out and Cathy will have to face the consequences of her lawbreaking and also carry this with her. Grief will take this storyline on many paths but ultimately Bob will hopefully support Cathy through the legalities eventually

[@BlueAndWhiteAreRight]

It doesn't matter how they crashed it looks like arron and mack but of course they will get the blame because they are men but heath wouldn't have died if cathy didn't steal the keys and car she was mad that April didn't go and cathy wanted the other two not to back out cathy is trouble now she has killed her brother she has to live with that she almost crashed before because she wasn't looking at where she was going and nothing is going to happen to cathy it will be probably arron and mack's fault because that's what it looks like they are going with
