I think when Elaine told Ian that Cindy and George kissed could have been more dramatic if there was a audience and the queen Vic was packed also it could’ve been more dramatic when Elaine seen George and Cindy behind the bar both scenes fell flat.
The thing is with Elaine and George aesthetically Elaine looks about 10+ years old and Georgia but in reality they are both in the 60s it’s just that George presents himself a lot younger and looks more in his early 50s Elaine looks more late 60s early 70s
