Today's is a tough episode.

Poor Lauren, I know lots of you don't like her, but she's had a shitty life.
The ending was really well done, hopefully she means that she is dumping the unless git that is Peter and his toxic family.
Presumably this is why Max is coming back on his ginger steed to rescue her, Jimmy and Louis.
Also why would Lily not still have a health visitor or social worker for support as a very young mum with a fairly dysfunctional family. I thought there would be SS follow up from an A&E visit.

As much as I love Linda at the moment , I can’t help worrying that she hardly spends any time with Ollie and Annie.
They need her around too. She is sorting everyone else out just now!

I did like Lauren as a Tiger mum ! Too many people are fobbed off by the professionals , she did the right thing there.

So The Vic is going up for auction???

I thought today’s episode was hugely affecting and absorbing.

Me too. Very emotional. My heart broke for Lauren 💔 Thought the lights going out in the toilet at the end and the mobile music was very effective. Cleverly done 👏

It was well done today.

I actually felt sorry for Lauren and almost liked her today. I hated the beginning with her screeching at the receptionist, but it improved after that and was very well done.

I hope Lauren is giving Peter the elbow. He is awful, he was almost as bad as Ian today.

Linda was brilliant as always.

Gosh it’s been a while since I’ve been on here as I haven’t had the time to catch up with all the comments, and have only been watching episodes sporadically.
Today's was a good ‘un.
I liked how the lights flickered into darkness and you could only hear the lullaby, which I guess is showing us what Baby Jimmy is experiencing.
Hope this is the making of Lauren.

Can someone please explain why Linda was there? TIA.
And a pp mentioned Max returning. Is it a long term stint, or just a fly by appearance?

Linda is just everyone’s friend / saviour at the moment
she should try spending more time with Ollie and Annie really , but it’s nice seeing her well and looking out for people ( plus Annie is Lauren’s half sister too , so maybe she feels she should help especially as Ian and Pe ta are so useless )

Thanks @the80sweregreat
I had actually forgotten that Annie and Lauren are half sisters!

We don’t know for sure how long Max will be around for but the article I linked to hints it’s a long stint.

Where will max live? I hope he stays away from Linda tbh. She deserves better

Probably back with his brother Jack and his kids?

Max can move into Sonia's massive house with Lauren and the boys, hopefully Peter has gone back to his horrid father by then!
He's bound to be shagging someone soon. Don't think it will be Linda now she's sober. There will be much shouting and bawling about Annie.
Maybe Stacey will get back with him to get over The Love Of Her Life!
Or Chelsea, she needs a storyline.

Peter really is a chip off the old block.

Surely the only person Max is coming back to shag is Stacey. And of course he'll do a lot of arguing about Annie. Hopefully Linda is strong enough to withstand the tirade.

I wonder if Lauren has told Max she's had a baby.

There's been a few fan theory articles recently saying Max's next love interest will be Cindy. I can not see that happening 🤣

Lacey is thankfully leaving though so I'm hoping that means she will be kept away from a Max reunion.

Peter always looks like a frightened ferret, all pointy nose and wide eyes. Useless actor too.

Apparently it's Teddy, Harry and Zack in the car crash. Lots of comments that Zack is the one leaving.
They seem to be hemorrhaging cast members

I saw a fan page that suggested Teddy dies :(
(They can wrap a jumper around his coffin ) ..
I’d rather that it wasn’t any of them really as it seems a cop out killing them off unless they want to leave ? Pastures new and all that

Poor Whitney if Zac does die , but I can’t see them doing this so soon after martin , unless the actor wants out ? Whitney lost Kush and Dolly may not have a dad now too. At least he sees her and visits and pays maintenance etc. Would be too sad

Zac could leave to be close to Whitney and Dolly in Wakefield. I agree it’s unlikely they’d kill him off and it’s unusual for an actor to request to be killed off. I’ve read that Elijah Holloway (Harry) has been spotted filming recently.

I saw a photo on Facebook of Harry , Kim and Honey sitting outside the Vic and behind them is a an sign saying ‘ auction’
( sp)
but might have been fake ! Looked strange

Yes I posted that pic on this thread

if they are going to kill zac off why didn’t they do that instead of killing off Martin!!!
Whit is in Inverness now isn’t she?
