What is it about Shaun that attracts women? He seems to do rather better than I'd expect given his looks, but maybe I'm missing something! Did this latest romance have some aspect of "Common People" involved?
Yea he does okay for himself
shareThe study at St Martin's college would suggest there was a bit of a Common People element to it.
Maybe we'll find out, should they ever do anything more with it, if they're still together that the parents knew each other when they were younger.
I think it was more likely just a wee bit of a contrived line to get it in the show and was obviously years before the Pulp song.
Hah, missed the St Martins link to Common People - yes,for sure was a tip of the hat.
shareThis was one of the things that I thought felt out of place this series. The girl Shaun ends up with was too attractive for these series (all the attractive female characters are so in a believable 'normal' way) she was too good looking. Also let's be honest would she be so attracted to Shaun that she makes a move straight after meeting him, he is a bit out of her league. It was all a bit silly.
shareShaun's lovely! Maybe that's how he gets the ladies!
Goodnight, good luck and may your God go with you
So do attractive girls not exist in real life then? Have you never seen a good looking woman with a less good looking man?
Shaun had been at college for a few months by that point..maybe they had been getting on really well and she liked him for who he is?
Sorry if that's at odds with anyone's shallow world view..,
OOM POM PAH OOM POM PAH thats how it goes...
Its not a shallow world view, It was an observation of the series and the characters that we have met throughout.
I am not saying for a minute that something like this doesn't happen in real life, more that it just felt out of place here. And was there any evidence that they had been at college for a few months? I don't remember any.
Now get off your high horse!
Don't take my post as an attack on you personally, it was more of a general addressing of many comments like it. Replying to your post just gave it context.
As for college, each episode is a different season. Shaun got accepted on the course in autumn due to someone dropping out. It was winter in the last episode..THEN there was another two month gap...
OOM POM PAH OOM POM PAH thats how it goes...
It's fantasy lol.
shareThat's not a good reason. It was still dumb.
shareI'm not saying it was the "reason"
Just that it wasn't real. Obviously in real life he could never pull a girl like that. It is highly unlikely, anyway.
My point was it is just a TV show...It wasn't dumb just unrealistic.
It may be fictional, but it deals with real life drama. Things like that and the comedy aspects in this series take me out of the real life environment and transport me to some surreal parallel universe where people like Shaun Hefner can get any women they want. His mum probably fancies him.
shareI'm sorry to hear that. Fortunately, it doesn't take me out of it at all.
I enjoy all of the humour.
And whereas I did think to myself "Ha! As if he could ever pull a girl like that!"
It didn't bother me for more than a couple of seconds lol.
The thing with Shaun was humorous itself. As soon as they first glanced at each other in the classroom I was laughing at where it was going to go.
Come to think of it, even that very attractive girl Gemma who the cartoon bully wanted to get with in 86 seemed to like him.
Shaun is the guy all the girls go crazy for, and the guy all the guys wished they could be. LOL. I think he'd have evoked that jealous rage out of Combo again had they reunited, and got beaten to death.
I don't think Gemma seemed to like him at all. All she said was she'd rather go out with him than the bully.
So, really it is only 2 attractive girls that he has gotten with over the years.
Both too hot for him, I agree. But it doesn't bother me.
I still love the show all the same.

Ive seen better looking women than her with uglier looking blokes. Many times.
shareYes, it is utterly ridiculous. It's like Shane Meadows sees himself as Shaun and creates this little fantasy world out the end of his pen for HIMSELF. The mistake of casting Turgoose has haunted this entire series (although it was moderately successful in the original movie). He isn't good-looking and can't act.
shareSo do attractive girls not exist in real life then? Have you never seen a good looking woman with a less good looking man?)
This.
Just because you guys can't get attractive girls doesn't mean other ugly people can't.

Unless the man is rich or famous, that's very rare, yeah. Sorry to say. It just didn't seem true to the rest of the series. It was one of the low points of the series finale.

It was like she had to do all the work as well. She took enough of an interest in him to speak to him first and ask to hang out with him. Bet she was the one that asked him out.
They've made Shaun Hefner irresistible to women and it has to be something to do with either Shane Meadows wanting to put himself in Shaun's shoes or him positively discriminating gingers.

Yeah, this too. It was a very unrealistic scenario and one of the worst aspects of the finale. I don't like when Tv forces *beep* like this on our faces, its distracting

I think it's the only way to give Shaun a place in the story, his woman trouble, as for me he doesn't really add anything to the TV series'.
shareShaun is a Tenth degree Ginger Ninja who was taught by his father a master of )rangitsu ..he learned this whilst training in australia,,,,Shaun has mystical powers over the universe and women...
of my mind
'' I don't know what's in there, but it's weird and it's pissed off''
