Couldn't see a new thread (please delete if there is one!)
So, currently broadcast (and just caught up with) Friday 2nd August. Recap:

Lauren - given birth to baby boy at 24 weeks after Joel hid labour inducing drugs in her soup
Jack - been charged with arson with intent to endanger life (Hope seemed pleased!)
Paul - going to donate his corneas to MND research, much to Bernie's dismay
Beth - lost box of fake t-shirts and told Carla where to stuff her job

What else?

Thank you JellyBeanFactory

Missed the spoiler - thanks for whoever picked that up. I'm aware some episodes have been loading to ITVX early due to the Olympics but this thread is for as ITV broadcast - no sneaky peeks!

I’ve just caught up on Fridays. Good job Max came when he did.
I wonder what she’ll call the baby? Surely Max will twig that Joel’s involved, the way he was at the hospital.

EachandEveryone · 04/08/2024 22:05

You would think so.

Place marking

DaisyStarburst · 05/08/2024 08:18

I've been watching early on ITVX so keeping quiet as I can't remember when I've seen things!

I wondered if she might call him Max as he seemed to be there during the labour. A pretty harrowing episode Sad

Lauren actress is one of my favourites

Isn’t Summer supposed to have type I diabetes? I’m sure we’ve endured many episodes of her collapsing with low blood sugar, much handwringing from Billy Prayerhands about it, trips to the diabetes nurse, support groups and suchlike yet since she’s been back there’s no mention and she was tucking into a slice of cake after an all-nighter without a care in the world the other episode.

Perhaps a trip to America cured it.

Deadringer · 05/08/2024 11:29

Perhaps they have forgotten the diabetes, hopefully it stays forgotten because I don't want lots of Summer scenes.

PiggieWig · 05/08/2024 14:48

Didn’t she meet her tall boyfriend at a diabetes support group?

I wondered if it would be baby Max too since Max seems to be her only stability in the world. Good job he turned up really.

How did Max find Lauren, I must have missed a bit

Allthehorsesintheworld · 05/08/2024 20:18

And how do all these people walk into a NICU?
To get into an ordinary maternity ward to see DD I had to answer 20 questions and almost leave a DNA sample. To get into NICU DD had to take me in, I had to sign in, huge handwashing routine just to get to door 2 where outdoor coats had to be left. Further disinfecting got you then through doors 3 and 4!

and there’s no beeping. Those machines never stopped.

That's what I thought, it's so stupid and completely unrealistic

I must have missed that bit too cos one minute she was struggling to get out the door and the next she was lying in a hospital bed after giving birth 😆

Allthehorsesintheworld · 05/08/2024 21:09

IIRC Bobby and Max were talking and saying they’d not seen Lauren in a few days, couldn’t reach her by phone as Joel had arranged the mugging, so Max went round to where she was staying. Joel had locked her in so Max called fire service to hack the door in.

Getupat8amnow · 05/08/2024 21:11

Checking in for the thread.

Max had lent Lauren his phone to call an Uber. He later used the app to find out where the u er dropped her

Roryno · 05/08/2024 21:49

Ah that makes sense. I missed the Uber bit.

Why was Joel crying over the name? And why is Lauren putting him on the baby’s “entry to the ward” list? I had hoped she’d put her phone on record when she slipped in into her pocket.

eggandonion · 05/08/2024 21:52

Max is brilliant at the technology. I missed the birth.
I love the handwringing over Hawp and Jaack. Wasn't Tyrone his original dad?

AmusedMaker · 05/08/2024 21:55

Thanks for new thread.

strugglingwithlife · 05/08/2024 22:08

Thanks all, I had missed what Max said to Lauren through the door about how he found her

Joel said it was his Grandads name as well.
