Richard gives up with Lisa

Richard has abandoned any hopes of forming a meaningful relationship with Lisa.

The Canadian claims to have tried to forge a connection with the new house cleaner on multiple occasions but keeps hitting a brick wall.

"There are some people I just can't be bothered with any more," he confessed to Sam last night. "One of them is Lisa."

Laying the blame squarely with her, he expanded: "The only thing she says to me on a daily basis is 'Are you alright? Are you alright?' She doesn't engage in any other conversation with me."

He had admiration for Nikki, meanwhile, describing her as "one of those individuals in the house where she realises when she makes mistakes and is willing to own up to them".
