Yes he’s her son. There’s a big age gap between the two actors but it doesn’t look that way!

The Mother is evil 😈

I can see why Linda is leaving, I'm not sure what else there is for her character, and she has been involved in most of the big storylines. I do feel they missed an opportunity to highlight school sen issues with Ollie.

They have always done this. One of the main issues parent face with children with disabilities is the lengthy fight for support. I have a son with profound ASD and it has been one battle after another on top of the stress of meeting their needs. It is glossed over and they aren't brave enough to show it honestly. Kellie Bright must be annoyed because she went through it herself.

I’m only about a minute in, and I’m tired of the chaotic driving entrances. Once was fair , but twice. Silly.

*edited to add I’ve seen that on instagram lol hoping the rest of the episode is better.

I actually love Priya and Jean so much.. “you can mention skin tone and not be racist Jean” 🥹

Nic was funny in the pub.

'What's your poison?'
'Anthrax, if you've got it'

There were some nice lines. But overall I pretty much hate the Hawkins. The husband seems okay.

So Nic is still in financial trouble with the bar. Which presumably means it’ll be the Hawkins to the rescue.

I agree South, about Ryder. He could agewise be her son, he just looks too old.

Is Priya not going to ask how Ravi paid for the club and for her expensive engagement ring?

And oh look at the coincidence, Penny and Priya having a pregnancy chat and both pregnant by the wrong bloke.

0h yes, I hate them too.

It was George with the money problems wasn’t it. Now it’s Nicola’s bar. It’s a wonder that both of them haven’t been made bankrupt by now.
Didn’t mind Ned , but Gemma is annoying and Rose is horrible.

I hope that in time we see various sides to Rose and Gemma. The actors are good, but who knows how their characters will end up with the current EE writers and Wadey at the helm.

I think Nic's bar is in trouble because she took money from the bar to give George for his pointless and already failing restaurant. So now they are both failing.

Yes hopefully they will tone down the Hawkins. There are too many of them for a start, and we haven't even experienced Megan yet. And Rose isn't exactly nuanced, just pure wicked witch.

George have money away to charity , so not much sympathy from me there! Although I can see why he did it, but it was short sighted to give it all away and not hold some back.

George isn't really the world's best decision maker is he!

Then again, there's Priya, keeping the baby and hoping Ravi doesn't notice it's ginger.... decision making not her forte either😆

Priya , madness. What is she thinking by keeping the baby ?

I never understand why nearly all the women who fall pregnant in EE keep the baby, especially when it's usually unplanned too!

Avani seems to have been the exception.

The new family are awful who the fuck is in charge of the audition process. As PP said too many of them and the driving thing has already been done not funny.

If Priya seriously want to have Max Brannings baby then she needs to stop this moping about and tell Ravi.

I dont actually understand why she wants to keep the baby in the first place? Especially now she knows it's Max's! Is she anti-abortion or something?!?

I can't understand it either apart for plot reasons. I'm almost shouting out "just get rid and marry Ravi!".

Unless the writers are being very clever and leading us to believe she's the NYD woman but there's a twist? Although I definitely don't think they are that clever.

I will say though seeing a heavily pregnant woman debating about whether she's having a termination or not is a bit off. I say that as someone who is pro-choice.

It is off seeing Priya is so far ahead with her pregnancy when she is only three months gone as her character must be giving the writers a headache! Obviously something they didn’t consider when they did the NYD episode and decided that she would be having his baby! Maybe doing such a long fast forwards isn’t such a good idea!

Jean didn’t seem too bothered about being evicted.
I thought we would see her telling the others about it today. She did admit she’s been burying her head though. I’d be out of my mind with worry , but she seems to think something will turn up for them.

Yes I agree it is very disconcerting watching a very pregnant actress playing a part where the character is 3 months pregnant. She was originally planning an abortion so god knows why she has changed her mind now. Just 'plot reasons' for more drama.

I am pondering on the significance given to the Queen Vic sign today. It fell to the ground and Ned knows a guy called Tony Frames who will fix it. Will Tony Frames be cowboy and not fix it properly, and it will crash down on Zoe's head and kill her? It would be so laughably ridiculous and SO Ben Wadey that I almost love the idea.

Not keen on the new family…

Agree and I don’t see how the sister with curly hair fits in.. so different to the other two
