Can't believe we're on a new thread already. Filling up so fast these days!

Brief summary:

Todd has finally left the dreadful Theo, (after he badly beat up Todd,) but Theo is not keen on leaving him alone (although he has been told to by the police.)

Carla and Lisa (Swain) are planning on getting married very shortly.

Carl has been trying to extort money out of Summer for information, as he knows Theo killed Billy. (Summer knows this now too as Theo cornered her in the shop and told her as much, threatening to 'bury her too.') Summer is - very sensibly - not giving Carl a penny until Theo is arrested!

The ghastly Megan (Trainer) seems to have vanished, so Sam is relatively safe for now, but Sam has been having hallucinations and keeps seeing Will there - coming at him - when Will is nowhere near. Toyah, Leanne, and Eva have tricked Megan into meeting her (by sending a text from the burner phone Megan gave Will, and pretending to be Will...) Not sure what they're going to do when they meet her!

Ben Driscoll has just found out the man he knew as dad is not his bio father, and Jim McDonald is actually his father (so he is.)

The effervescent Debbie is declining a little bit more by the week, but is still in fighting spirit, and is seeing Carl for the parasite he really is. The gorgeous Ronnie is always by her side. Carl has just decided to cause a flood in Debbie's hotel by leaving the taps running in one of the rooms, after she told him he was very difficult to love, and refused to let him have half the hotel after he threatened to report Ronnie to the police for hitting him.

Shona's annoying sister Jodie is causing trouble all over the place! She's stolen Lisa's police badge, and a girl she uses to be a nanny for has turned up. Jodie is not happy about this!

Probably a bit more is happening, but I'm sure it will come up soon. Smile

Blimey this is painful to watch. Right now I don't care who the victim/killer is but for the love of the pixies I wish they'd bloody well get on with it.

TheHillIsMine · 28/04/2026 20:53

Carl can't be this drunk from just that drink. Death by car collapse? Two deaths?

TipsyPeachSnake · 28/04/2026 20:54

Carl plays a believable drunk

GrandTheftWalrus · 28/04/2026 20:56

Its not on till half 9 here so watching it on YouTube just now. Its boring.

TipsyPeachSnake · 28/04/2026 21:04

I really enjoyed it. Did Ronnie really do that or did he rescue him? We didn’t see.

AC was in the final year at my school when I was in the 1st year, and it is testament to HOW dramatic he is as a person (or at least was as a teenager!) that I remember him, as I do not remember anyone else that much older than me from school! So much flouncing.

I am guessing that someone that camp would have stood out a bit in school back in the day

PropertyD · 28/04/2026 21:22

I am getting horribly confused with all these different threads but the same beginning. Me too re Theo being the taxi driver.

TipsyPeachSnake · 28/04/2026 21:28

They wanted us to think Theo was the driver. It worked.

Gingercar · 28/04/2026 21:31

TheHillIsMine · 28/04/2026 18:16

The way Todd looked at Theo after getting out of the taxi, made me think he'd got out to go back to him. 😟

I thought that too, although thought it was really strange. He was all relaxed in the taxi, then he saw Theo’s van and suddenly shouted for the taxi to stop.

Gingercar · 28/04/2026 21:37

I quite enjoyed tonight’s episode.
I don’t believe that Abi would have gone for a drink, and Kevin shouldn’t have sent that photo for a few hours, but other than that it was good. I’m assuming it was Ronnie who let the jack down? He didn’t just stumble across him.

Shona’s sister was coming out of the house with a hold-all furtively- I guess that will come out in a different episode.

Toyah-Rama keeps popping up in her car. Must be significant. Where is she meant to be going? Perhaps she will see Megan Trainer bullying Sam and drive over her in a red mist? (Like she did in her previous manslaughter!)

JellyBeanSpring25 · 28/04/2026 21:44

Too many questions, too many possibilities, not enough answers!

I do love the love between Debbie & Ronnie. I hope he’s by her side until the end 🥰

sorryIdidntmeanto · 28/04/2026 22:02

Surely Ronnie just said he intends to kill Carl. So the victim is Carl, I would think. I assume Ronnie let the car fall on him, but it would make sense if it were Tyrone, as he had just seen him in the pub, and Tyrone has reasons to be in the garage. Or Kev, but he was with Debbie. Or Abi, but she didn't seem that cross any more.

SabreIsMyFave · 28/04/2026 22:07

Yes I enjoyed tonight's episode! I also wonder if Ronnie dropped the car on Carl, or rescued him? Guess we will find out eventually!

Also love Ronnie and Debbie together. My heart broke a little bit when Debbie didn't know who Ronnie was for a moment or so. 😢

I did laugh though, when Sally talked about her daughter Sophie liking women, but said she had been with someone who was non-binary, then said they broke up, and said 'but it wasn't because of the pronouns, it just didn't work out!' 😆Sally's so daft! Love her!

Someone could intercept Ronnie and it could mean Carl gets taken to hospital and be fine. He’s obviously just bruised and broken, not dying as things stand.

I couldn’t help thinking Kev should have just left Carl and Theo rolling around in the street!

edited to add, the feet/legs in the garage looked quite slim/dainty. I wouldn’t have thought Ronnie, but obviously it could have been. Would most people know how to let a jack down nowadays?

FrankieMcGrath · 28/04/2026 22:36

Debbie & Ronnie are so good together & it was heartbreaking when she couldn’t remember his name & called him ‘man’. I hope Ronnie isn’t a killer as I want him to be around for Debbie - he’s a great character & actor! Love him!

I keep getting thrown by seeing Carla in white when she has worn black for twenty years

Amy Robbins (Christina) was in my 6th form when I was in 1st year. I remember her because she was always in the school shows. She was gorgeous - tall, willowy and had beautiful really long dark hair. I think she was my first girl crush. I really wanted to be her!

zanahoria · 28/04/2026 22:59

I want Abi to be the killer just so we can be rid of her.

So tired of hearing her rant away at Carl for cheating on her when she was doing the same to Kev

At least Carl know's he's a wrong'un

GrandTheftWalrus · 28/04/2026 23:25

I felt so bad for Debbie when she was shouting man at Ronnie.

HaddyAbrams · 28/04/2026 23:26

Debbie made me cry when she forgot Ronnie's name. Dementia is so so cruel.

zanahoria · 28/04/2026 23:36

why on earth would anyone buy 12 bottles of wine from a pub when there are shops around?

eggandonion · 28/04/2026 23:42

Maybe the wine was on the house?

bizzey · 29/04/2026 00:07

This thread gets confusing..

They had Carla's credit card.

KeeleyJ · 29/04/2026 00:15

I'm honesty past caring with it all now, just get on with it!

We really need some spawn of Richard Hillman to come back and get rid of the dead wood.
