Liam has form for being a dick
Liam being a "nice guy" is a huge misconception, the guy was married to Maya who was toxic before she groomed Jacob, he raised Leanna who was a nasty, spoilt brat who was a bully, he ditched Leyla when she needed help with her cocaine addiction, treated Ella awfully throughout her miscarriage, cheating on her with Chas, and how he spoke to her the other night was frankly uncomfortable to watch, he and Chas deserve each other, a pair well matched, both nasty bullies
