Martin

[Ruby21]

Does Martin change his mind after he meets Chloe and decide to fight for custody ?

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

I think so but I am not sure.

[littlemo]

I think so too, because this storyline is set to go on for months. If Martin was firm about not getting involved with Chloe, Sonia would have to put it too rest. I don't think there would be any hope Sonia would get Chloe back on her own, and their marraige would not survive such opposition.

I have a feeling that when Martin visits Chloe something happens to change Martin's mind about the situation. There is nothing said in the spoilers about Martin and Sonia the week after, which leads me to think there is something to know.

I really want to know what happens, so if anyone has any spoilers please! post them.

I saw a snap of sonia and chloe in a magazine the other day, it said reunited at last or something like that. i don't knowwhat that means but it might be some help.

[littlemo]

I don't think it was telling us anything. There are quite a few magazine covers like that. There's a statement and then a question mark next to it. I think i've read all of them now, all of them say the same thing.

[sharon+dennis4eva]

I hope so. It would be great for Sonia and Martin to finally get Chloe back and be a proper family.

[cinamin]

I think Martin may be afraid that Sonia will not get Chloe back and he doesn't want her to get her hopes up for Chloes return. If Sonia can't get custody because she signed the baby away, Can't Pauline try to get custody now that Chloes adopted parents are dead?

[Siobhan]

From what I have read in a magazine in Ireland, Martin doesnt' want pauline to know cause he knows that his mum would fight for custody.. He doesn't want Sonia getting involved cause he is afraid that she will get hurt again.. Also Sonia goes to funeral but with her grandfather Jim not martin and introduces herself as a family friend....

[cinamin]

I'm sure if Pauline finds out,she will call a lawyer right away. I know Sonia will be thrilled but do you think Martin will be as happy? Is he ready for a child now?

[Siobhan]

I think he is ready but he is afraid that Sonia will be let down again by the system...

[cinamin]

Its seems such a shame, Sonia and Martin feel in love and chloe is their daughter I would love to see them as a happy family, Pauline and Dot would be thrilled to be Grandmums. I hope they give Sonia and Martin a chance to be a happy family , Don't you?

Which magazine did you read that Martin doesn't want Pauline to know about the situation with Chloe? I live in Wales, but it is still only 3 hours away from London, I don't understand why I haven't seen this. I read the magazines as soon as they come out in the shops.

[chocolate]

does anyone know how old chloe is ?

[di marco]

about 4 nearly 5 i think

[Jade]

It said on todays prog that she was 4

[littlemo]

Yes it was her birthday in October, so she's 4 and about 5 months.

[cinamin]

It didn't seem that long,thanks for the update,so she is old enough to know something terrible has happened to her adopted family.

[crazygirl]

so like any other eastenders storyline we are gonna get this for ages until people are sick of watching it and lose intrest e/e are so famous for that!!!

[littlemo]

I think it's going to be a good storyline, some people may be annoyed with storylines that drag out, but I feel it can be a good thing sometimes. The audience haven't forgotten about the Sonia/Chloe storyline, because the writers haven't let us forget. Sonia has never forgotten her daughter, she's as important to her now as she's always been.

Everytime the writers have picked up this storyline, it has been looked at from a different angle, and a new situation. When Sonia gave birth to Chloe she was 15 and with Jamie. When she kidnapped her, Jamie and Sonia had split up, so it was just about her. Now Sonia's married to Martin, and there are another set of problems to deal with. I love storylines with history, I think there great!

[cinamin]

It helps to know a person's history in the story,this way you can understand why they feel the way they do, Even if Sonia became pregnant now,she still would long for Chloe back,it doesn't matter how much time has passed ,thats her baby in her heart,she could never forget her child. Sonia's character is too caring and sensitive for that. There are alot of complications now that Chloe been adopted, I guess the story will take awhile to finish,but thats ok, as long as there is a happy ending I can wait!

[littlemo]

Yes I want there to be a happy ending for Sonia, she deserves some happiness.

This storyline is about history, a few people have been asking on here who the father of Chloe is, if you hadn't watched it 4 years ago you wouldn't know. Martin hasn't really been mentioned in relation to Chloe. There was the time when Sonia told Jamie Martin was the father and Pauline decided she wanted Chloe back. But then the situation was dropped soon after. In the main when Chloe has been discussed it has been in relation to Sonia. So people who have watched it for a lot of years, will have the upper hand.

I think it would be great if we get to hear about the past, during this storyline. It is important to the story.

[Jade]

She also said it's her baby not their baby

[littlemo]

That's a good point. I suppose she feels that since she went through the labour & adoption on her own. And Martin was only ever really involved in the conception, that she had the right to call her daughter, instead of their.

I can see Sonia's point, she handled it all, but Martin was never given the chance to be involved. I don't blame Martin for the way things panned out with Chloe. Now it seems that Sonia wants Martin to be involved, and it is difficult for him to be concerned about a child he never knew.

[sarah21]

Good news for littlemo, apparently Martin is getting cross with Sonia because this is too painful for him. When they go to see Chloe, Martin is forced to admit how he feels about her. He now knows how Sonia feels.

She also said it's her baby not their baby

How is a four year old a baby?

[Jade]

I have not idea, just repeating what Sonia said on last nights episode!

[RIP_Rubbish_Gangster]

I have not idea, just repeating what Sonia said on last nights episode!

I know, my boyfriend had it on in the other room (am not watching now this has started) and I heard her say that too.

Sonia seems to only see the little girl as a baby in her mind. She doesn't seem to grasp the concept that this little baby has grown up, can walk, talk and knows who it's family is. She doesn't need to endure any further trauma (after losing her mum and dad) by confusing her. She would need stability.

[cinamin]

I would hate to see Chloe without a family,if not Sonia and Martin,then who?

[littlemo]

Well she would have to be put with somebody. It has been said that the Millers (Chloe's adopted parents) are a big close knit family, so I assume they won't be short of people wanting to look after the child.

I'm not sure how Martin and Sonia would fit into the plan. Unless they wanted to adopt their own child (this sounds rather strange) they couldn't really be a part of it.
