Will STACEY return and MARTIN be happy again

Will dot die and who will be in her will - not dotty getting it all

Bobby new head needs a prosper storyline

Anything else I’ve forgotten ?

Smith and Holland. Good call to your dd! I didn't notice that.
They have 35 years worth of ' things' now to insert into the show. So many iconic moments. (However, I feel this anniversary one won't be remembered for anything good )
It's not until you see or hear a bad actor ( such as the captain) you then realise how good the regular ones are! It's not as easy as it looks I bet and the filming must take forever , so long days on set I guess!

Didn’t Sonja say something was cancelled and why she was home now

Ah did she I wasn't paying to much attention to her phone call.

I got to do my good mother bit to my dd and told her, if she ever murders someone, to ring the police haha I'd say the opposite if my DD was in situation with someone sly and conniving like Leo, I'd tell her to ring me so I could bury the fecker.

Sonia just said she cancelled the Book of Mormon as couldn’t get anyone to go with her. She had already told Whit and presumably Bex. Don’t know why she said it again really.

Stewart would not be welcome in the boat after everything he put Mick through. As for giving Mick marriage advice - it’s mind boggling!

I know stuart was a toerag but his advice to Mick was right it would warm my cockles if he and Raine helped mick and Linda through her alcoholisim.

Who was Sonia talking to on the phone btw?

I think she was talking to Mum, Carole Jackson. I thought she ended the first sentence with Mum, as she came in the door.
So Carole has a new fella?

I am a very bad mother, I tell my dd always live in a house with a large patio.

Sonia decided on Friday to work instead as Bex and Whitney didn't want to go to Bristol with her! Shame really as I've heard it's a good show and very funny. The tickets must have set her back a bit too.

I miss Carole. Don't bring her back with new head though.

Didn't she go off in leathers on a bike?

How long has Ian been "without a woman"?

Book of Mormon is great!!

When, earlier in this thread, people were talking about basements on the square, and it got me thinking that we never saw the squat basement where Hayley gave birth on Halloween did we? Or before cone to think. Perhaps it's like Brigadoon!

The squat was put ' round the corner' purely so Hayley could have baby Cherry!
Long forgotten ; a bit like the child herself!

I said before

They just a big thing of Sonja talking. Putting keys down. Hanging coat

Why

Maybe the keys will go astray blondes?? Maybe Leo isn't dead after all?
(Or it was a bit of ' filling' to pad out the episode! )

I think/hope Stuart has changed his behaviour after he got clean. His father wasn't a great role model he probably never learnt to be anything other than nasty.
Since Dot showed him love he became good. That's my theory. 👍

Was Haleys birthing squat not the same one Mel hid Hunter in?
I'm looking forward to all the stories around the boat disaster although I did find last nights episode a bit muddled

That’s what I said last night - keys will go missing

I thought Hunter was in a basement and Hayley was up front steps and in the main front room. I have no idea whether I have made that up though.

Hunter was in some kind of derelict place , but I don't think it was where Cherry was born. (I'm probably wrong but I think it was a different place)
They have done the same format for this as Christmas and the new year episodes. Flashbacks , the story not being straight forwards. (Tonight and Thursday may be just as confusing I bet! )
I do find that putting sub titles on helps a lot too. If I don't have them on I miss things. Not because I'm hard of hearing ( yet) but because the actors sometimes mumble and it helps me to follow the plots.
(Especially when Mick is making up his cockney drivel or it's noisy and they are shouting etc)

Yes the lingering shot of the keys etc did strike me too Blondes. Hmm

I'm now picturing:-

Hayley
Baby Cherry
Birthing squat

with big fat marker pen lines through them!

Not long til tonight's episode. Why do I feel we won't be much further along at the end of it? Probably find out Leo's dead status though

I hate Mrs Patty (can't remember her name) and the way she calls him Patty. And I thought it was ridiculous that Mick didn't pull Linda's foot out, and that she was drinking cooking sherry when there was a bar. I hope Mick doesn't leave, I like him. I thought Linda and Shirley fighting was great!

Leo does tend to steal keys. He can go through walls!!’

Also, any of you lot do engineering? Or dc? Or whatever? I thought Dottie would be at college for more hours! Is she going a degree or a city and guilds type thing like Ricky Butcher. ? I did a stupid arts degree and I thought it was only us that were lazy skivvers!

Am I over invested in Dotties education?
