I am glad they brought that up. But it just shows Joel was enabled by stupid Ross and Vicki, he still did those things. And they have video evidence of his other crimes.

the80sweregreat · 28/01/2026 08:52

I did wonder if paying off his victims would bite them on the backside and seems it has :(
I haven’t seen it today , but I agree that having Joel back would be difficult after what his done.
It’s sad that they didn’t cast Joel as ‘ myson ‘
Although the whole script and story and the dad being Antnee would have had to be rewritten completely of course ! So wishful thinking

He was enabled so may get a short sentence. Vicky and Ross were / are useless parents but are true to life in some ways, sadly.

It is a stark warning that allowing bad behavior by trying to cover it up is a very bad idea. Unfortunately I can see why people do it as well.

the80sweregreat · 28/01/2026 11:43

It was funny when Mark junior met Zac and trying to work out if they were related or not!
( I don’t think they are.. but I’m usually wrong )
😑

the80sweregreat · 28/01/2026 12:10

I can’t see an Elaine / Ian hook up after today tbh.
He seems to want revenge now.
We know it doesn’t work because the b and b is still there New Year’s Day . So go Elaine and Linda !

SpiritofaPanda · 28/01/2026 12:13

I think Elaine may run against Ian for that spot on the Council.

the80sweregreat · 28/01/2026 12:15

Maybe ! Didn’t think of that one. Or the councilor may help her as Ian stitched him up.
Elaines hair looked very despondent today.
Bea as ‘ the bride ‘ from kill bill ..
i doubt it’s a clue though ! Lol

NowNumber5 · 28/01/2026 12:23

I swear they are reading these threads!
I'm sure I mentioned Kill Bill when we were discussing the Flash forward episode and we were talking about the mystery woman as The Bride! 😂

NowNumber5 · 28/01/2026 12:28

Anyway, 'E'laine's double sequins attire is giving me a headache.
Linda's gone OTT too with her dress sense, with that fur collared thing she had on today.
I would love to see Peacock Palace feature on an episode of 'Four in a Bed' 😁

the80sweregreat · 28/01/2026 14:13

The four in a bed people would slaughter Peacock palace ! They are ruthless

Hang on this just got me thinking
if Zac is Sharon’s brother does that make Den his dad? I know Sharon was adopted but Vicki is Den’s?

but Mark Jr is the son of Zac’s sisters ex

it’s all very confusing

storminabuttercup · 28/01/2026 14:39

Ok so I’ve googled Zac’s dad wasn’t Den but was Sharon’s real dad but he was also married to Kathy

i didn’t watch for years no wonder I’m confused

Shellingbynight · 28/01/2026 15:34

I didn't stop watching but I'm still confused. I think we need a diagram 😆

the80sweregreat · 28/01/2026 15:34

Zack’s dad was Gavin Sullivan and Kathy was married to him once. They lived in South Africa with Ben.
He came back over when Kathy came back from the dead ( years ago , it was an anniversary episode but can’t remember which year !) and he died by falling off a roof I think! They were all after him at one stage. He was a proper villain and knew Den ‘ back in the day’
Sharon and Kathy went to his funeral and that’s when they met up with Zac ( it was someone’s funeral)
It’s a bit vague, but although Zac sees Sharon as his sister , she isn’t really.

NowNumber5 · 28/01/2026 15:37

I thought Sharon and Zack are half siblings, Gavin is biological father to both?
It was Gavin's funeral where Sharon and Zack first met?

the80sweregreat · 28/01/2026 15:37

Michelle ( Vicki and marks mum ) was Kathy’s niece by marriage, so I suppose there is a link there with Mark. Vicki calls her auntie I think?
The blood relationship is more Phil as he is his actual uncle.

the80sweregreat · 28/01/2026 15:38

Oh yes, Gavin was Sharon’s dad ! What am I like !
I remember now, he was Paul Nicolas
it’s confusing because Kathy married him and she was once married to Phil as well and they had Ben.

lazymum99 · 28/01/2026 15:39

Sharon is Zack’s sister. They have the same father, Gavin. It was his funeral Sharon and Cathy met Zack at.
Mark is Michelle’s son via Grant. Vicky is Michelle’s daughter via Den. So same mother.
Gavin = father of Zack and Sharon
Michelle = mother of Vicky and Mark

what a mess!

the80sweregreat · 28/01/2026 15:39

Ignore my post below ! Lol

the80sweregreat · 28/01/2026 15:40

Zac and Sharon do have different mums.

the80sweregreat · 28/01/2026 15:52

Elaine used to wear slightly more ordinary clothes in the pub , she is now very over the top. Is her hair a wig ? It did look a bit lank today.
I feel that her and L wouid like nice in jeans and a top and normal boots. Especially as Linda is usually on the school run or cleaning or cooking , you’d wear more practical clothes.

the80sweregreat · 28/01/2026 16:17

Why does Bea keep mentioning she worked for the Government, but something went wrong !
It feels as if it should be significant, but can’t think what. She isn’t even a distant cousin of any of them , not so far anyway! Lol

Perhaps she's confusing MI5 with MFI... 🤔
