She offered him a watch saying it had been Nigel’s and had sentimental value. For some bizarre reason the gangster turned all mushy (don’t think he had known Nigel!) and accepted the watch in lieu of the item Sam had pinched from him. Then Sam later revealed to her brothers that she done some sort of swap with Billy (?) and the watch she handed over hadn’t been Nigel’s. So the Mitchells still have Nigel’s watch as a keepsake.

What the heck??
that was worse than I expected, why would a gangster owed £200k be interested in a dead man’s watch!

@HighburyHope for explaining that. What was the point of Mark being beaten to a pulp so the grandad gangster could go mushy. Terrible plot lines!

Why was Max and Cindy in the second row at the church they had nothing to do with Nigel.

The watch was to repay Sam stealing the necklace. He told Grant he wanted his money by midnight

I did wonder why Josh was there.

Also, Claire and Julie were all friendly again after they couldn't even look at each other last time they were together?!?

Clare just looks like a Thunderbird puppet to me. I think it’s her hair that seems like it doesn’t move.
I can’t remember why she ripped off Ian , but they have history it seems.

Julie has a forgiving nature I suppose.
Nigel did love Clare.

Ross Kemp was terrible in today’s episode.

@HighburyHope thank you for explaining. The gangster nonsense never makes any sense. I think I would have had more patience with it if it hadn't involved Mark, who is just a waste of airtime.

I couldn't remember Claire and Ian having history either, 80s. I agree there is something odd and stiff about her, I feel uncomfortable watching her.
