Here comes my Daniel and Sinead rant...from the jump I have never felt anything sincere between these two characters. Affection maybe, but love? No. I have been counting down the minutes from the moment they got together when Daniel would eventually cheat. The two characters, imo, are completely mismatched. Sinead, even whilst dying, is not enough for him. Every concern Ken had was correct because Ken recognizes in Daniel the same qualities in himself. On top of the mismatch in intellect, interests and worldview, the way they speak to each other is not good. And Sinead has always been this way with Daniel - the Christmas scene was just a bit full on in the presence of others. I have barely paid attention to watching Sinead die because I find her relationship with Daniel so hollow - he didn't know she played the clarinet? Even before the cancer, did they talk to one another? It would appear not. When Chesney visited, you could feel his connection to Sinead and his care for her. If we were watching Chesney and Sinead right now...I'd be bawling. Sigh... Rant over.
As for Daniel and Bethany...the actors have a ton more chemistry than Daniel and Sinead. If he'd met her before Sinead, I would be quite supportive of them. But as it stands, Daniel has now basically cheated on his dying wife...and Ken knows. Even if Sinead dies peacefully without knowing Daniel kissed Bethany (and she kissed him back), how can they get together? And Daniel admitted he kissed her because he knew Bethany liked him and he took advantage of that intentionally to make himself feel better in the moment. Audrey called that a mile away! There could have been a very sweet story here after Sinead's death, but now Bethany and Daniel are quite tainted for me. Sigh...
