[Optimist1]

Thanks for the new thread, Blondes - and a happy new year to all of us!

[pemberleypearl]

Thanks for the thread!

I'm really hoping Keanu will be alive. I wouldn't mind if Phil died though - so beyond sick of him

[Eastie77]

Don't understand how Mitch, who has been in Chantelle's life for 5 minutes, has sussed something is wrong with her and Gray is a wrong'un while Karen is oblivious.

[WireBrushAndDettolMaam]

I reckon it’s a case of “takes one to know one” with Mitch. He used to be a bit of a git to Karen from what I remember but he puts on the charm with everyone so I think he gets the same vibes off gray and recognises a not so nice man when he sees one.

Not many babies with mum over 50 are delivered safely

I assume baby won’t make it :(

I was almost 44 when had dd now almost 3

I had scans every 3w and geriatric written all over my notes and tbh great care taken of me

[augustusglupe]

OMG they were just playing ‘Sex Dwarf’ in the club!!

[meow1989]

I'm behind by about 15 but I think Kelly broght is playing this really well.

[DoesntLeftoverTurkeySoupDragOn]

The gaps in her memory are done well.

Keanu is definitely alive though.

[MoonlightMistletoe]

I thought that episode was pretty disappointing!

[southeastdweller]

I was hoping for a twist but as everyone suspected she was with Martin.

[The80sweregreat]

It went on a bit too long and made me cringe.
As if she could have all that happen to her without someone calling the police or locking her in a room for her own safety.
I know it's not real, but it was very ott and completely unrealistic. I am guessing here that she was caught up with Ken and Martin on Christmas Eve / day by accident and that's why she is now out of control like this.
The lapses in memory is just to hi light why she can't remember properly what happened that night with them both.
She hasn't any friends now either and Martin obviously needs her to keep the secret.
I just felt it was t very well done.

[MrHodgeymaheg]

God I felt pissed myself watching that! Enjoyed seeing something different on a soap though. Think Kellie did well playing someone totally wasted.

[The80sweregreat]

She plays an ok drunk , but anyone of her size would just pass out and not be able to function that well after bottles of alcoholic drink like that! She was still staggering about on those heels ( !) and I don't think she would be able to.
Mick should have locked her in the bedroom once they went home.

[danni0509]

It was deffo the linda show but I think she played a brilliant drunk.

Really want to know what went on that night with her and Martin and Keanu, what are people thinking?

[danni0509]

Was a bit unrealistic the amount she drank though! how many litres of neat vodka did she sink in 15 minutes?

[gower4]

There's no way she could have contained all that alcohol. Surely she'd have thrown up and passed out after the bottle of gin quite early on!

[gower4]

Wasn't Denise once an alcoholic as well??

[WireBrushAndDettolMaam]

That was a mix of entertaining and disappointing. I expected some sort of big reveal but we had all already guessed Martin was involved somehow.

She did play the drunk part really, really, well. It came across as very real. Especially when she tried to bend down to get her phone off the floor in Chantelle’s house

I didn’t believe that lee would have just let her walk out of the house and not follow her though.

[The80sweregreat]

I think she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and witnessed something she shouldn't. Martin is now horrible and menacing , so he'll probably blackmail her or do something to keep her quiet for a while.
They obviously share a secret now.
Sharon will have to move out.
Mick will look fed up for months and maybe we will never know the truth about Ken.
It could drag on for a while.

[WireBrushAndDettolMaam]

Oh yes there’s no way she could have carried on drinking all she did. Those first 3 shots in such quick succession would’ve floored her! She’s tiny!

[danni0509]

@The80sweregreat I'm thinking it might drag on too. I was hoping for the big reveal by tomorrow night at the latest.

[WireBrushAndDettolMaam]

I think she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and witnessed something she shouldn't.

It’s more than that because she said “what we did” to Martin. So she did something as well.

[The80sweregreat]

Not sure what will happen now. Martin is properly fed up as he thinks she will start telling people things. Let's face it, she was talking to everyone !
She can't remember what happened properly , so he might be a bit safe for now, but it's fragile as he is involved with Ken's disappearance and Ben thinks Ken has been ' dealt with' without any witnesses! ( I assume)!
I'd be scared if I were Linda.

[The80sweregreat]

I wonder what she did then?

[WireBrushAndDettolMaam]

martin said if she tells anyone they’re both dead. So I don’t think they’ve killed/buried Keanu as who would kill them for that? No-one. They’d go to prison but they wouldn’t be killed. Keanu doesn’t have anyone who would do that. But it’s something she can’t cope with having done. If it was just a case of helping to hide ken so he was safe from Phil she wouldn’t be having guilt about that. That would be a good thing to do.
