Blimey, two policemen just happen to walk past. That really is unrealistic these days.
Oh yes, Roxette !!

SoupDragon · 21/09/2021 19:47

Thomas Cotton??

the80sweregreat · 21/09/2021 19:49

Rocky will fleece Sonia out of Dots money and probably get away with it.
Who is Thomas Cotton ? So not Sonia's dad then? Just when I thought I liked Dotty she does this!!
What a turn up eh? Anyone predict this?

SoupDragon · 21/09/2021 19:50

How can he be an uncle?

VictoriaBun · 21/09/2021 19:51

Well didn't see that coming !

the80sweregreat · 21/09/2021 19:52

@SoupDragon

How can he be an uncle?
Obviously on Nick Cotton's dads side maybe ? I wish Dot was about . She would have seen him off. We have been blindsided here though ( even if we knew he was dodgy as anything!)
Spidey66 · 21/09/2021 19:53

Does POA mean you can spend someone's money as you wish?

Uncle Tom can't be Nicks brother surely?

Akire · 21/09/2021 19:54

Well that was news! Great uncle must be?

the80sweregreat · 21/09/2021 19:54

I remember Nicks dad was also a bad un, so maybe his brother?
Dotty hates Sonia then

NoisyBrain · 21/09/2021 19:57

I haven't posted on an EE thread for ages, but had to unlurk just to say "Eh?!"
I get that Charlie Cotton could have had another son with another woman but I thought Jack recognised Rocky as Sonia's Dad, didn't he???

Akire · 21/09/2021 19:58

POA means you have full access to do everything. I’m not sure Dot would have included double your money schemes in her wishes, you are supposed carrying out the persons wishes and affairs as needed.

the80sweregreat · 21/09/2021 19:58

If you have POA then Sonia can take out cash from the bank etc I think ? She can handle all her financial affairs.
As much as I dislike Sonia , I actually feel bad that her and Dot will be fleeced like this !
In real life I would have tried to get hold of my mum to find out if he was my dad and not some random man or baddie uncle.

Not quite the main issue I know, but how did they manage to get Harry Redknapp involved, who turned up and called him Rocky and went along with them being old friends?

Yes thought the same @Muddlewitch plus all the other claim to fames
the80sweregreat · 21/09/2021 20:17

Obviously Thomas Cotton / Rocky is normally just Rocky to his mates and has hoodwinked everyone including Harry Redknapp and Jack Branning ( the ex policeman , worst ex policeman ever !)
Dotty has always had her eye on Dot's money.
:(

Muddlewitch · 21/09/2021 20:33

Yes you must be right, a lifetime of con artistry probably. Poor Sonia and Dot.
Whitney will be belting out even gloomier numbers when it all comes out.

Oh god yes! Which gloomy songs are about being ripped off and fleeced ? I can't think of any , but most be some around !
the80sweregreat · 21/09/2021 20:43

Maybe Rocky will come clean ?
Or Janine will sniff them out and see them off ? If only to stay on the square and live with Sonia ? Before ripping her off herself ..
it's bound to involve Phil for no reason at all
Did L and mick take Ollie with them ?

Akire · 21/09/2021 20:47

I can’t believe also getting rid of Mik the Governor for maternity leave! Poor Ollie going into Year 2 and whisked away without so much as a thought. They must need move someone in ASAP Jeanne be offering her services as bar maid.

the80sweregreat · 21/09/2021 20:51

It's sad that Nancy and Frankie are daggers drawn. Is Shirley still a license holder ?
The girls don't hold one , so how have they left the pub like that ?
You just go away because there is a slim chance Max might see a flyer on the square when he doesn't even live there !

There must have been better exits for these people surely !!

Justjoinedforthis · 21/09/2021 21:09

Shirley is surely on the license. There was some tedious administrative drama about it years ago.

Can’t believe no one has mentioned the most excited storyline - the mosque petition! Wink

Muddlewitch · 21/09/2021 21:11

Janine would be a good match for Dotty. Maybe she will want the club, did she have it before or have I dreamt that?

the80sweregreat · 21/09/2021 21:12

The mosque petition !! It'll be like the bin story.
It's bound to involve the whole square and a charity fundraiser of some kind.

the80sweregreat · 21/09/2021 21:14

Janine used to run the club once.
They have all run that club at some stage.
Or worked in it.

the80sweregreat · 21/09/2021 21:21

What has become of Tommy ?
