yes Nia heart was in the right place but I get why he was upset and why he felt betrayed ..they played with his emotions considering he lost his wife ..so for someone to say their mother is dying it may have struck a cord with him
people being way too harsh on Amber without understanding his emotions as a father and a widow
I’m loving his character and I hope it’s kept as such..
I agree. His character is really complex and can be really relatable for a few people who have faced situations they found moving on hard from. Amber is a man who has seen a lot in his life—both by experience and age. He single-handedly raised his daughter into being so independent so I definitely don't agree when people say he's holding onto Niya too hard. Niya is, I think, one of the most open-minded girls ITV has ever offered. She was raised to be a very independent girl and his dad holds great pride in that too, even though he doesn't express much. Niya doesn't let him tell her what to do, and we all know this. He lets her do whatever she does, yes he speaks when he feels it's wrong, but doesn't indulge. If anything, I'd say Niya is more nosy in his life and forces him to do things against his will, rightfully so. They impact each other's lives a lot. He's protective like any other father, especially one who's seen a lot of losses and wants to protect his daughter from repeating those.
Now, he doesn't tell Niya what to do, but does things that's in his hands. He does normal 'dad things' like secretly shooing away her dates and all.
But Niya does things too. And we all know she will do anything to set him up with Guneet.
Amber felt betrayed when she wanted to go to America, but he encouraged her nevertheless. Now saying, he's selfish because he didn't want her to go. No it's not. It's natural.
Him wanting her to not go equates her wanting him to live with a tenant. It's the same thing. Wanting to have the other one's life decisions. But again, it's NOT toxic.
They really do have a beautiful relationship but I like Amber fairly more. For Niya, not going to the states might not be as disturbing as for Amber letting Niya go was. Yet he did that, and didn't even mention his own sacrifice. Niya was the only person Amber wanted in his life, and he let her go. And now that's a big thing. Not for you and me watching it from afar on the screen, but for the man experiencing it himself.
He's a complex character, like I said and not everyone can understand him.
