Do we know why crappy creepy Craig is started? I’m finding it so hard to watch at the moment because it’s boring

I am zooming out of Craig and Amy too.

Hopefully it won’t last too long.

I think now is a good time for a break, it's all phoned in. Have a lovely time and let's hope it's improved by the time you're back!

I think Penny acting stroppy about that class and the fact she couldn't do the things related to feet and ankles is because she's actually worried about the swelling in her leg. BUT instead of making a GP appointment or telling Vinny, she just mentions it to Peter and then that's it!

I wonder if she suspects it could be something serious and her anxiety is coming out in rage against poor Vinny?

Do we know if the flat max is in on NYD is his and Cindy’s or a different one? It’s not Priyas…

It looked like a different one, not the one he lives in with Cindy atm. Wasn’t there a baby scan picture laying around in there? Perhaps Priya lives there for some reason. All will be revealed (and will probably be a huge letdown!)

I reckon so Eastie, presumably they are doing to have to film pretty soon before the actress goes off too

Why didn’t Penny ask the lady doing the class ? I know she isn’t a midwife, but probably better informed than petahh. Plus most instructors would have asked her a few more questions as she is in a wheelchair and it’s a high risk pregnancy. I know I would have mentioned it to her and she would have said GP appointment now no doubt or ring 111 or A and E because that is sensible .

Penny is best friends with Lauren so you would think she'd at least text her rather than relying on on a passing chat with daft Peter. I would have thought she would be getting additional monitoring and advice anyway because as you say she's high risk.

Thing is Peter is a personal trainer … he should have knowledge on biology and shit and know random leg swelling is dangerous regardless of pregnancy

Does nobody do any work at all ? They all just randomly move from the park area to the cafe and back home again without putting a shift in. Is Priya still working at the car lot? I can’t see how the baby is Ravi’s , but she may not have realized she was pregnant at first and still had her periods or whatever.

Yes Priya is working at the car lot - using the word 'working' fairly loosely! She slept with Ravi about three hours before she slept with Max (the day of Vicki's wedding). So assuming that is the day of conception she would have no idea whose it was.

Sleeping with both of them that day was a while ago though and she has only just done a test. She has been ‘ active’ with Max a lot more , so I still think it’s his baby . I wonder if she’ll tell Ravi now they are engaged?
She’ll need a scan and all the rest of it, I’d be getting a DNA test too if it was me ! Lol

If she is the woman in Max's bed on NYD then conception was almost certainly the night of Vicki's wedding. It would make her 31 weeks pregnant which would be right. There must be a reason Ravi randomly returned and shagged her, and she then shagged Max hours later.

If she isn't the woman in the bed then obviously she could have got pregnant recently and it's def Max's. If that is the case she'll have to get rid of it, there is no way she can palm a ginger kitten off on Ravi.

The only other option I can see for woman in the bed is Stacey.

You would hope it’s Ravi’s tbh. Maybe she has done the dates and now just fingers crossed!
I can’t imagine Nugget and Avani being that impressed with a new sibling.

@Shellingbynight I think the reason she shagged both on the same night is so we would have to guess.

Anyone else finding the actress being pregnant in real life a bit jarring with the character just finding out she's pregnant now? It's like we've all known before she did. Which technically we did.

The attempts to hide her bump has been ingenious hasn’t it, big clothes, big bags and a cushion today!

They did it with Stacey too during one of Lacey Turner's earlier pregnancies.

It always makes me laugh and reminds me of Calander Girls, or that scene in Austin Powers.

lol! Yep, ‘ we are going to need bigger buns ‘ ( paraphrasing )

@Alucard55 yes exactly, we've known since that night! But we are already going through who's the daddy with Penny and her pregnancy!

And yes it is really jarring that the actress is very pregnant so they cannot visually indicate the stage of the character's pregnancy because the actress is way ahead of her.

Really weirdly, the bed/headboard from NYD is the same one as last night, but the room isn't the same one. Maybe Priya moves house before Christmas.

@Shellingbynight you worded that better than me. Yes she clearly heavily pregnant but we're to believe she's just found out.

I thought the NYD Max flat was the one he'd in now?

Where were they last night? Can't be at Max's because Cindy said he wasn't home. Can't be at Priya's because of the kids. Did they say were they were?

That was Pryia's last night. You're not supposed to ask questions such as "but where are the kids?".
