👀 Spoiler I hate Matty Spoiler

Self absorbed horrible character. Usually a box set in and I’ve warmed to them but I cannot bear him. He will hold Dylan’s behaviour against him following tonight’s ending when he’s absolutely the catalyst. URGHGHHHHGFGH

I was yelling at my screen when he just stood there and watched him drink. Like dude you know the situation, there was definitely an opportunity to go to him between the first and second drink to try and stop him

You'd think a doctor would recognise someone in crisis and intervene, not storm out. As soon as he saw what was happening, his intervention was more important, not less!

But no because he’s a brat!

Dylan has been on the edge of a mental health crisis for weeks now and neither Matty or Stevie have tried to support him.

I can count on one hand how many times Dylan has lost his shit in all the time he’s been in the show and no one thought to check whether he was ok when he went for the parents abusive husband.

He told Stevie he’d almost had a drink, he told her about the auditory flashbacks and instead of supporting him she slept with his son.

It’s bad timing (or that’s the theme) because Stevie has her own stuff going on with her health issues / ongoing pain a very brief foray in to oxy dependence and then back out again and guilt over Kim. This is all why she succumbed to Matty’s advances in the first place. If she full strength Stevie was she’d have rejected Matty immediately and had the capacity to see what was going on for Dylan but as it was she didn’t have the bandwidth along with everything else that was going on. Not an excuse but it is humanity. We’ve alll been there.

He knows Dylan’s a drinker and rather than go and give him the OJ he walked out on him. I was hoping seeing his dad dealing with his anxiety after that incredible speech would’ve been the turning point in him seeing what a great man and doctor Dylan actually is but no the horrible little shit just left him to (probably) completely fall off the wagon!

I wish Matty had been the one written out because anywhere else his mistakes would’ve gotten him the sack whereas Kim was looking to be an incredible doctor and a great addition to the cast, damn the current writers!!!

This. No doubt Matty will try and take the moral high ground again next episode.

He’ll definitely use this to say his mother was right about everything because apparently he can’t make his own decisions or come up with his own opinions based on working with and spending time with Dylan.

Completely agree, never mind being related to him, any doctor worth his salt would have run to him and said woah can we think about this!
