I'd not forgot , thats why I posted , he's a chancer on stuff like that .

He was evil to Janine that time.
That was a toxic time.

The North remembers over here - he will always be squeal beale to me

Yeah he was bankrupt but Laura bailed him out of bankruptcy single handedly and he behaved like that! And with janine who he had watched grow up!!

Evil then, evil forever 🤷‍♀️

I would love for phil to give his head a flushing over christmas, just because 😄

It’s a criminal matter, prosecuted under either the Theft Act 1968 or the Fraud Act 2006. Someone in Lauren’s position who dishonestly stole funds raised for a charity would probably be prosecuted under the Theft Act as she is external to the charity and there is no question of embezzlement by someone in a position of trust. Max sentence 7 years imprisonment, but could be much less based on an assessment of the seriousness and impact of the offence. But dishonesty would have to be proved, and intention to permanently deprive the charity of the money. No doubt Lauren would say she did intend to make up the money intended for the charity, and only used the money earmarked for the charity because she had a short deadline. In other words, that she was (foolishly but honestly) “borrowing” the money from the charity fund. If she was believed on that point then a conviction could not follow. And if Ian had helped her to make up the money for the charity then it would never need to be a police matter at all.

I think after a lot of kerfuffle Ian will probably pay up. But first of all we have to have the drama of Pe Tah going mad, Lauren sobbing, Kathy saying she knew Lauren was a wrong un... etc etc. Probably while Ian is serving up the Christmas turkey. Ooh actually maybe Max will give her the money. Assuming he has any!

I wish they would stop putting Lauren in the wrong. She had been on a good path lately.

Highbury, thanks! Sorry to detail with real life situations, but I can imagine that embezzlement from such funds is sadly common! In Lauren’s case it wasn’t malicious, but she was incredibly naive and it’s still theft isn’t it :(

She has been happier lately , off the drink and drugs and generally settled. Jimmy being born blind was sad, but they seemed to have moved on a bit and a bit more positive about the future and how to help him moving forwards.
It all seemed too good , we know nobody can be ordinary and just getting on with it on EE!

Ian won’t keep this secret.
Lauren will do something to upset him or and he’ll blurt it out ( yes, over the Turkey and bread sauce)
Or the charity worker will show up Christmas Eve and have a bit of a showdown over it all.

Did Arther Fowler go to prison for stealing the charity money ? I know it was forty years ago .. lol

Arthur rather

Yes - the Christmas club funds. Google tells me his sentence was 28 days’ imprisonment.

28 days ! Not too bad I suppose, but still sad.

Cindy and Ian back together?

Oo i hope not

A new love interest for Ian could be good though! 👀👀

Ian and Eeelaine?

Elaine has an I and a A and I in its name already , so it’s meant to be! Lol

An N too

That would be as horrendous as Phil and Kim 😱😂

Just when we thought things couldn't get any worse, they are squeezing in a quick cancer storyline

Thanks for posting that @Shellingbynight

I didn’t know the lumpectomy happens so quickly after the diagnosis and I’m pleasantly surprised!

They have leaked the entire storyline haven't they! It'll all be done and dusted in a few weeks as she's not back for long.

They are very leaky at the moment. We know a lot of what happens at Christmas and New Year already.

I think they have to leak things like this in case it upsets some people in similar situations.

Jake Wood was on the One Show yesterday!

Rubbing hands with excitement!!!🥳

Max and Oscar bound to be explosive.

Max is back on the 16th I think. I don't even like Max but it can't be worse than Zoe and her stalker.

It looks like Howie gets found out next week (I think you mentioned that earlier 80s).

Max and Oscar! Bring it on. They are quite alike, but I like Oscar, so don’t mess it up writers!
