Wow, we got through the last thread pretty quickly! (Again!)

So Betsy is still recovering from her stroke, Debbie's condition (dementia) is getting worse.

Tim and Sally still have Tim's cousin Ross's daughter Lucy in their care as Ross killed his wife - Lucy's mother, and is in prison... Or so we have been lead to believe. There's a question mark over whether Ross did kill Lucy's mum at the moment, (or if it was Lucy!) after Lucy spoke to her dad the other night and said 'what if they found out what I did!' Sally is struggling with Lucy, especially after she threw her phone at Sally and hit her in the face.

Sarah is still in prison, (for killing Theo,) and hasn't had her trial yet. She has finished with Kit, who went on to sleep with her daughter Bethany!

Bernie's aunt (Celeste) who was trying to get Todd to do a funeral for her, died a few weeks ago, but not before dropping the bombshell that she has breast cancer, and Bernie may have the gene. So may Gemma and the quads, and Kit, and Brody...

Kit was tested. He has breast cancer. He is devastated - (naturally.)

Carl has just got a job in the cab office.

Probably missed some stuff!

I mentioned this in the last thread, but I can't remember if Todd did ever do Celeste's funeral by the way... She's been dead nearly 4 weeks now. I don't think they've mentioned her funeral for about 3 weeks. And I definitely don't remember them doing it.......

Is the local college where the extremely talented Nina studied? Could Lauren not be Betty's minder and have fun student stories?

They forgot all about Nina's college, not sure if it was ever mentioned if she finished or not.

Although she did do designs for the factory

It is a shame that she came in as a young woman who had interests in art, fashion and music but they never developed that side of character.

I also thought it was strange they were so keen on her jetting off to a fashion course when she still requires so much care, seems a strange storyline and would've made more sense if she'd actually been the one driving the decision to go

It was just daft wasn't it?

Then again, not much dafter than Bethany having a stoma, and wearing skinny jeans and tight trousers with low waists!

Oh no, it’s true. It was on Digital Spy a few days ago

Oh FFS! Hmm

Yes, Betsy would need a carer with her, it would be very difficult. They should definitely leave it a year.

And then, after a gap-year to get fit again, instead of local college, she should go to study in the far more prestigious London fashion college!
(where she has already been offered a placement!)

Focusing on being able to cut up her own food before operating machinery would be a smart move

Granddaughter murdering daughter is a bit extreme...Granddaughter turning up after the sad demise of daughter would have been easier to cope with.

I think Sally said the right thing, for now. Lucy is a teenager in crisis, she doesn't need any more disruption.
Why is George leaving Christina on her own at work all the time? He knows Sally and Lucy will come in. That is very unfair.

not so sure Christina will want anything to do with her once she finds out she killed her daughter !

I have heard a horrible rumour that Jodie is staying another year (and that she has just signed a 12 month contract!)

I hope it's fake news. 😬

I'm so glad Betsy stood up for herself. She has a lot more recovering to do before she is ready to start a course. She is totally exhausted and overwhelmed. I don't know how Carla and Lisa are missing that. One of them should be part time, caring for her and taking her to appointments, not putting pressure on her.

Oh and miraculously greasy Idris is back! They must read on here ! Do you think he’s going to try and get his hands on the Bistro since dopey Nick is in trouble ?

Edited

Was Idris in it yesterday?
I must have slept through that bit. 🤣

He will probably go round trying to buy up all the businesses, even though none of them seem to make any money

@SabreIsMyFave I know ! Every time we mention someone they suddenly reappear! Weird lol.

@suburburban yes.

The storyline with Jodie messing with people's heads (and meds) is just vile. Reminds me of the Little House by Phillipa Gregory, hopefully Jodie will meet a similar end and not one of those crazy redemption stories.

Hopefully Lucy won't kill Christina off as well!

Let’s hope it’s the other way round! As if someone in Sally’s shoes would put up with the batshit crazy madam! She’d soon be out on her ear

I think it has to be the brown leather jacket

If it is double denim, people may just think he is a Shaky fan

True

i reckon Jim did sport both combinations over the years

yes he would look like Shakey

zanahoria · 02/10/2026 21:36

Why is Eva shy about telling Leanne she does not want to see Sam?

He could have killed her and she didn't even tell the police

They should tiptoeing around her not the other way round
