    A nice piece of evidence that the scriptwriters don't do their research, then.

    Clegg was Lisa's first married name, so she must have gone to stay with one of her ex in-laws! They should have sent her to stay with that cousin of hers that actually appeared in the show, Lizzie Lakely. She was blind I believe so it could easily be used to explain why she might need more support at times.

    I think Granny Clegg was meant to be Lisas
    former mother in law.She couldnt really be
    her gran in law as Lisa and first husband
    were roughly same age as one another.
    Lisa is now60+ so if her husbands gran
    would over 100! Was still making own brew
    a few years.Lisas Husband was eccentric - was
    building his own rocket-I think!
    I was never sure why Lisa was so loyal to
    her- except she was meant to be very
    domineering!

    I thought Lizzie was Lisas friend? But she
    would need help as you say.
    The actress was ill and Lizzie
    disappeared fromprogramme some ago with
    not much explanation!

    Yes shes does but I thought she had been

    days before Belle could talk.?

    Her main purpose seemed to be to give
    Lisa a reason to be away from home
    ( without concocting too much drama)
    when the actress was taking a break!

    It did seem a bit odd using an ex-in -law
    for the purpose.when they could have used
    a relative ( never seen) of Lisas e.g. Aunt.
    But soap families.!!

    Lizzie was her first cousin according to Wiki. It's not 100% but I find it pretty accurate. If not Lizzie, then an Aunt/Uncle could have been named for Lisa to stay with. There must be one unless they've passed away as Lizzie is a first cousin.

    As Lisa had no kids from her first marriage, it is very strange. Surely in her situation you would cut all ties, rather than trying to maintain a relationship for the sake of the children. In the real world, Zak would find it insane.

    Belle must call her Granny as I imagine with Zak and Lisa being older parents, she never met any of her actual grandparents. Again, I'd find it more likely if Belle had a half-sibling who was actually Granny Clegg's grandchild. It's a very different thing to seeing a parent of a step parent as a grandparent.

    I rembered Lizzies surname is Lakely (also
    Lisas maiden name) so must be relative of
    Lisa and Wiki does say cousin.

    The only grandparent of Belles who has been
    in.EE ( that I can remember) is Zacks mother
    - Peg Dingle- who.was ther for quite a long spell
    in 2002 when Belle was3-4 yrs old.

    It would be a blessing if Belle had forgotten
    her-as she was truly horrendous!
