I felt a bit sorry for him. He was treated worse than dog shit by Pauline, but what he did was terrible. Not only did he hit the woman over the head with a frying pan (granted she did the same to Arthur, which was a bit ironic. Maybe it was him striking back from the beyond) but he tried to put Sonia in the frame for it. A young woman who has a life (well kind of) a head of her and small child.
I'm glad to see him go as he became nothing more than a punching bag for Pauline and was pretty boring. I liked him a lot more at the start.
Sadly, I think this means we're going to see a bit more of Bert
