Totally unprofessional he did say she went in after Roxy but of course Jack took it the wrong way

Eminybob · 04/01/2017 12:00

I think he's made quite a leap to actually blame Roxy though.
Of course if she is drowning her sister is going to jump in to save her. It was the bloody dress that was to blame.
I guess grief does strange things to people.

Eminybob · 04/01/2017 12:02

I don't this Phil remembers sleeping with Denise, so will take some convincing that the baby is his.

MrsJayy · 04/01/2017 12:05

Yes it was the dress but you are right Jack is grieving. No Phil can't remember who he had sex with

DeleteOrDecay · 04/01/2017 12:19

I knew jack would end up blaming Roxy, he's shown such disdain for her over the past few months. It's just the grief talking though, he's looking for a 'reason' for this to have happened when in reality it was just an accident.

LineyReborn · 04/01/2017 12:26

As a plot device, though, what's the point of Jack hating dead Roxy?

In RL he would spend ten years fucking up Amy's head, but that's not where this is going. Is it just for a nasty row with Glenda about / at the funeral? 'They ain't being buried togevver ... Roxy killed my woife ...'

JustAnotherSilentOldNumber · 04/01/2017 13:13

Jack is going to have to tell the children R&R have died, because he made it sound like they'd just left and weren't coming back.

I'm pretty sure we only saw the start of the conversation, witht he rest happening off screen after the credits.

MrsJayy · 04/01/2017 13:16

Yes it was probably carried on the children will know they are dead.

CorporalNobbyNobbs · 04/01/2017 13:21

Amy is 8. She is well old enough to be told straightforwardly isn't she?

CorporalNobbyNobbs · 04/01/2017 13:22

(My dad died when i was 8 and there was no 'gone away' nonsense)

MrsJayy · 04/01/2017 13:31

Remember Amy is an actor and maybe the didnt want to scare her or ricky he is a bit younger.

The80sweregreat · 04/01/2017 14:09

Phil could always ask for a DNA test if he isn't convinced the baby is his.

There hasn't been much in my tv guide about Denise so not sure how that one will play out! I wouldn't like to deal with the Mitchells when it comes to flesh and blood - ( remember how Phil fought for Lexi, although he has forgotten all about her now)
tough call with the kids having to find out about the deaths.

MrsBotox · 04/01/2017 17:49

Agree that Mick and Whitlow using 'L' for Linda is annoying.
I am an Linda (proud emoticon) and although the name is not so fashionable anymore I think it's a great name - means, beautiful, pretty, cute from the Spanish.
Everyone has always called me Lin (apart from xdh whose pet name for me was Shrew or Ratbag) but I think Mick would call his Linda 'Lindy'. It suits her.

MrsBotox · 04/01/2017 17:53

Did I hear the police mention that R&R had drowned? Until the autopsy they won't know how they died. Also last night Glenda said they had to arrange the funeral. It could be some time before autopsy and release of the bodies.

LineyReborn · 04/01/2017 17:59

So I think it's setting up some rift between Glenda and Jack about them being buried together, MrsLindaBotox.

The80sweregreat · 04/01/2017 18:02

Sadly, i know a little bit about coroners and inquests. It does take a while and we had to wait 9 months for an inquest date and 4 weeks before we could arrange the funeral.
Takes a while for bodies to be released to the undertakers as they need to do an autopsy. Jack, an ex copper, would know this. I suppose each case is different , but it isnt an instant thing. I like the name Linda, why do people have to shorten names?

LineyReborn · 04/01/2017 18:04

Linda's a great name. So is Susan.

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/01/2017 18:09

Finally seen. Seem to be so behind with all TBH at mo :(

I still say the pool should have been locked and alarmed

Michelle is soooooooo annoying - amazed they Stacey hadn't hit her over the head with a frying pan 😂😂

And yes they don't seem to worry about the rent with 2 empty bedrooms now Kyle and thingy left

Whitney 😡😡😡😡 she has demanded things. Was sooooooo pushy about the flat for £330k or even the bedsit. When could have stayed at pubs and saved money

Jack telling the kids. Should not say they've gone away. They need to be told direct they've died. And that's why not coming back

Oz - did mick sort it out? Or is this to come?

Matthew. Will Charlie come back and claim him?

The80sweregreat · 04/01/2017 18:16

I know a few Suzannes, but its always Sue!( I prefer the short version of my name as i hate my name.)

Blondes, not sure if Mick did 'iron out ' Oz, but i am guessing he must have done. As much as i dislike Babe, she is pretty laid back when theres trouble, she didnt even question him too much anout his hand ( as i would have done)
Why was Mick Jacks best man anyway? Hardly know each other really!

LineyReborn · 04/01/2017 18:19

Is it on later? I don't have yer fancy tv mags or sky.

The80sweregreat · 04/01/2017 18:23

No, not according to my guide. Its an hour tomorrow at 8pm.
Not on friday ( football..boo)
Hate footie.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 04/01/2017 18:25

I wonder if Whit will offer to pawn her fancy diamond necklace that Lee bought her for Christmas or her wedding earrings to help Mick raise funds for L's flight home and to bail Lee out? Hmm

LineyReborn · 04/01/2017 18:26

Ah ok, thank you. I will remember to watch it tomorrow.

Tbh this thread is better than the actual programme.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 04/01/2017 18:30

Whoops, sorry MrsBotox just committed the sin of using "L" instead of Linda. Just noticed you said that was really annoying. Grin

Ok to call you MrsB? Wink

The80sweregreat · 04/01/2017 18:31

Liney, agree. I have made new friends, 'chat ' to old friends from x factor threads, its all good fun! ( love being part of a group on here)
