It might have been Cindy's sister Gina who took Cindy 2 in, but I do also remember her mentioning grandparents as well. It's a bit vague though.
She came down from Devon on the train and I do recall an eating disorder or self harm or something similar , she wasn't a particulaly happy character

I remember Cindy junior being really good in one of the live episodes around Lucy's death.
Didn't she have to read a very emotional letter or something?

I recall the actress who played her being very

..very good!

Today's episode was very good. Colin Salmon is such a great addition

I'm wondering if there's a connection between the 'historical murder' charge his dad is on and his biological father? There was clearly more to the baby farming story than his parents were letting on. Did his dad kill his real dad?

Ahh! So it's an historical murder charge then
They must have found some more evidence I assume?

It's crazy that George didn't know about it - surely it would be in the media about Eddie's murder charge?

I shuddered a little at the end of the episode when Eddie's friend referred to the murder victim as 'coloured'. I'm sure there's people out there, most likely 60+, who use that word so think that was a perceptive bit of writing.

Years ago I remember people went to Newcastle like it was some far flung city that no one could return from, instead of easily reachable on a train.

Eddies friends looked a rum old bunch :(
Elaine never gets it does she ? George was saying how his dad treated him if he didn't do well and she was kind of smiling and didn't really understand what he was saying :(

It was hinted that Rickyyyy had a good job and business over in Germany and able to absorb all the waifs and strays / relatives from the east end!
Must be fun over there I bet. Probably a lot more interesting and less drama than Walford

Yes, Tiffany is Ricky's daughter.

New head Johnny was never the ' hard man ' before ! Not that I recall anyway
Obviously being a lawyer in Manchester has toughened him up a lot

Elaine and her boom boom voice annoys me. She’s like the villain in a pantomime, she’s simply isn’t a believable character.

I don't mind Elaine , but she hasn't any empathy at all. She did ( however ) admit that she isn't a good mum to Linda , which was a first

Cindy's daughter with TJ is nearly 10 now
I doubt she'll show up with her, but it's a possibility I guess ?
They might write her in if Cindy comes back with her mum and Peter

TJ (baby's Dad) was the son of Bianca's partner Terry wasn't he? I thought I remembered Cindy finding motherhood too hard and going to Germany without the baby, leaving her with TJ & his family, but I could be wrong.

Sadly there are a few characters like that around though.... my DM's DM, not her (nana) but some of her close friends were a bit dodgy. Ditto my grandad was a bit of a nasty piece of work (dad's DF) tried to get my dad involved in an insurance scam.

Hang on a sec, Tiff is Ricky's daughter, I always thought she was Bianca's daughter or maybe not?

The George and his dad drama is a bit more interesting but how has he murdered someone and how?!

Bianca and Ricky are Tiffany's parents according to ' fandom ' pages online , but ( to be honest) I didn't think too much about her dad when she was in it as she was always with her mum. (Or arguing with her !)
I must admit that the characters Eddie hang out with are very well drawn. Probably surprised that they had George living with them , but that was 'ok' because it was Gloria and Eddie that were bringing him up back then.

Wouldn't the necklace in question be the replacement one that Jack bought Denise (as no way Amy could get hold of the one that was buried with Keanu!), though? More likely that in her current state of mind, Denise then hallucinates that it's her old D necklace and thinks Keanu (or his ghost) brought it back.

I have to say, I agree 100%. Everything she says/does is done in an overly dramatic way. Completely different to the old Elaine.

Necklace gate explained today. I'm very sorry for giving duff spoiler info earlier in this thread. I'll never do it again and will make sure I chastise myself harshly.

Elaine's voice is ridiculous.

Eddie is terrifying.

Anyone else notice that Eddie’s address on the news article was the Jasmine Allen Estate? Great work by the writers there.

😂
No worries at all! We can do what we like on this thread!!

Noooooo! Great shout by the scriptwriters and well spotted. I wonder if the Cockcroft will ever be mentioned.

I had to look up the reference, but it's the estate on ' the Bill ' !
I did used to watch it now and again , but never a huge fan.
