[Naivety]

If Maya was the love of Lucas's life 15 years ago, does that mean she was in Dakar aswell? Or had he left her behind before going to Dakar, because he seemed to be there for quite a while, gathering the money together to afford to return to the UK. For someone who is supposed to be 'the one' he certainly managed to push her out of his mind for a very long time.

And I'm afraid the problem with Maya is the wishy washy acting of Laila Rouass. I have tried to get used to her, but there is not one shred of chemistry between her and RA. It's not RA that's the problem, it's her. I'm sure in one of RA's many interviews he said something about them knowing each other from way back and that their love scene was like working with an old friend. I reckon RA knew the scenes weren't up to scratch and was making excuses in advance!
