With phil thinking she may suspect he's the one it kind of confirms he's the culprit !

Poor Claire! She really seems to be bearing the brunt of this one. I really do think Ashley needs to be a bit more amicable in dealing with Matt. I understand he's not his best mate but he is Josh's biological father, and no matter what he may think of him, Josh has the right to get to know him. This shouldn't mean custody because Ashley has been his dad since he was born and it's not what Maxine would want, but if Matt wants to remain in contact on a regular basis, not fleeting in and out of his life like some fathers do. I think he could do that. Although I don't deny it is quite a confusing situation.

I think it's important for Matt to explain why he hasn't been in contact with Josh since Maxine died. Him wanting contact shouldn't be on a whim, it should be something he has really considered the consequences of. I don't think Ashley should run away he needs to face up to the situation. I think the courts would be more than likely to side with him, he should get some legal advice. Just because Matt's his blood doesn't mean he's the best person to look after Josh.
