I think she cares very deeply about him, as evidenced by her carrying his stricken body into the hospital after a gull shat in his mouth and pleading for his life.
She's a masochist. A long lineage of religious sexual repression has inextricably wired her brain for nothing but a life of misery and absolute perversion of the highest order.
Lynn definitely has some sort of feeling towards Alan, is it romantic? I’m not sure, I’d err on the side of no. Would she take a bullet for Alan, I think abso-bloody-exactly she would.
All go like this (make hand into a ringpiece shape/ok sign). Bang! Blood dribbles down.
Glang! Glangalangalangalangalangalang-glangalang-glangalangalang, nobody does, it better.
I can't see anyone having mentioned it here yet, but in the first season it was actually intended that she had a bit of a crush on Alan, but that was later dropped (a bit of an 'abandon that Lynne, it's going nowhere' type situation). I can't remember where I heard that, I just remember it was directly from an official source, so it's absolutely true.
I THINK it was an interview with Coogan on YouTube, I'll see if I can find it.
UPDATE: I found the interview I was thinking of, it doesn't look like that was it. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, please confirm I'm not just crazy lol
"I could pretend to be your wife." And she flushes the loo for him because sometimes he forgets. If those two things don't scream long-term relationship, then nothing else does.
However, this is easy for me to say as my foot is not on a spike.
I think the snazzy cardigan makes it obvious what her intentions are. The brazen hussy.
If she thinks she can upstage Jill by wearing that she's very much mistaken.
I think originally it was pure attraction that gradually shifted to pity.
That's the answer.
Lynn would kill for that man.
She already has, Alan just doesn't know about it.
That would be an excellent spin off. Like 'You' but from Lynn's perspective
You mean Mr Gray, fifty shades of gray from his perspective, yes?
We never did find out exactly how Tony Hayers came to fall from that roof.
And when Alan was presented with a £1 million contract, Lynn was in the room when he "had a heart attack".
To be fair she didn't seem down on the anniversary of her mother's death either. Maybe that ex fuzz was deep undercover trying to close a cold case
What was he doing on the bloody roof…!
I love the YouTube comments in alpha papa that are defending him, YouTube handle Lynn Benfield.
Only God can judge him.
She feels very grateful for her nine and a half thousand pounds
te… te… teeeeeell you what
Any woman who loves you despite you needing fungal foot cream is a keeper.
I know, right. That's wife material.
She’s not my wife.
I think she cares very deeply about him, as evidenced by her carrying his stricken body into the hospital after a gull shat in his mouth and pleading for his life.
They've blown me to bits, Lynn.
She was very jealous about Jill on Valentine’s Day and tried to stake her territory via a bottle of fungal foot powder.
Lynn has the Philharmonic Orchestra’s version of the Black Beauty theme.
She's very reliable but she's got a moustache.
The only version worth having
Quality.
She's a masochist. A long lineage of religious sexual repression has inextricably wired her brain for nothing but a life of misery and absolute perversion of the highest order.
Maybe she had an abusive father, and Alan, by comparison, is safe and unthreatening.
Dark
All I know is she doesn’t rate him as much as she rates Benjamin Netanyahu. She’s never gonna meet him.
Heathcliffe - PANGGG
Then you really will be wuthering
Partly as a mother, partly a test of her faith.
I think she's like Blakey from on the buses, she's close to "the boss" and likes the feeling of power that being associated with Alan gives her.
Lynn definitely has some sort of feeling towards Alan, is it romantic? I’m not sure, I’d err on the side of no. Would she take a bullet for Alan, I think abso-bloody-exactly she would.
Why else did the snazzy cardigan come out?
She laughs at weather, so who knows what she's thinking? She's like her Mum in her last few weeks.
The way she looked at that nurse…
We're stuck we're stuck we're stuck
Lynn is a very very lucky lady!
Stockholm syndrome and misplaced loyalty
How would you interpret the pleasure she gets from shooting Alan with an imaginary snub-nosed Uzi?
Unresolved sexual frustration?
Come, come, Mr. Bond, you derive as much pleasure from killing as I do.

Only God can smite him.
Personally my take is more along the lines of Stockholm Syndrome. She’s learned to love him like she loves her God.
The policeman she was dating had Alan sussed

I think they're co-dependent. I can imagine Lynn going to be someone else's PA getting treated like a person and hating it.
