When was Ken diagnosed with having pneumonia and by who, is he at home or in hospital? I must be blinking and missing bits.

He was coughing at the funeral and Peter said Claudia took him to the medical centre so all done off screen

Yes, good to see Bernie and Gemma in a more low key mode; good acting all round.
I think we're supposed to care about Michael and his custody battle but it just doesn't interest me so far. The problem is that they're a fairly new family who have been "shelved" for weeks at a time and Michael and Grace's relationship took place off screen so the viewers have no history with them.
I'm uneasy with Paul and Billy getting back together at such a difficult time; there's always the risk that Billy sees him as a project and not a partner. Surely there will be (or have been) questions asked in his church and among his superiors about how he's living with a volatile ex prisoner?

I too liked Gemma and Bernie working together and how supportive they were to Paul.

I am one of the rare folk that likes the Baileys .. I find Michael very funny which is a relief at times with the other heavy storylines. I think viewers will start to take to him and his family more once his relationship with Grace develops and we find out a bit more about their past relationship and hopefully we will see more of him and Tianna having a relationship.

I have no idea about how much vicars have to run past the church about relationships and who they can live with or not .. Billy is in his rented flat now, I think, not church accommodation so maybe the church cannot object to who he is sharing with???? And of course, the Christian attitude should be to believe in Paul having turned over a new leaf and support him ... not sure if the Human Rights Act would also be supportive of Billy and Paul living together''''

[emerald]

In general, I like the Baileys too but like so many other storylines and characters they seem to be dipping in and out. It would be good to find out more about Michael and Grace; at the moment their storyline seems to have come out of nowhere.
I think Billy's church would want to support Paul in theory but there's also other factors, such as Paul not sharing his faith, having a violent temper, etc which might worry people. I've no idea about how much their relationships are monitored either but there's always someone who will take offence, sadly.

They seem to be the ONLY cases that Adam and Imran take on.

Do they even need an office and secretary Leanne (if she still works for them), as all the meetings are not in the office

Yes, Leanne needs to tell the clients in which cafe or bar they will find the lawyers

Will Bernie not be in trouble herself now for breaking into Kel's place and stealing Daniel's laptop?
