Tim might have had help with the computer???

It would have been good if we had seen him having reading problems before now maybe getting help from Faye

Maddie interacts well with Tim and Sally

Mary got her hair done at the salon and then went to the gym

It would have been good if we had seen him having reading problems before now...

This needs to be explained. We've seen Tim lead a perfectly normal life up until now: using a computer to communicate with Faye, texting, even running his own business. All these actions need the ability to read and write reasonably well to get by. I'm sure the writers can find excuses for these things, but it's a bit perplexing for viewers who can remember these examples.

Here's an instance of Tim reading a text that I thought I remembered:-

"Elsewhere, when Sally returns back from the shop with sweets for the girls, she is shocked to find Tim there. He has raced round after receiving a text from Faye and Grace saying that Sally left them home alone and they thought they heard a burglar. As Tim condemns Sally, will she realise she's been set up?"

As I said, this could be explained away by a bit of creative writing and should be done so that the storyline makes sense.

Still, I'm glad Tim's got a decent storyline and that we'll see more of him. I agree Tammy that it would be nice to see Roy teach Tim to read - a good opportunity for these two characters to interact, and maybe become unlikely friends.

Oh I just love this Mary-Julie-Dev storyline! So funny when Mary is always appearing there as a 3rd wheel!

Tim, Sally, Sophie&Maddie are great too! Enjoy watching them!

Kylie is doing my head in(sooner she goes, the better-hopefully leaves kids to David..), same as Kal's mum. Great that Roy has put stop on that library cafe-she's just taking advantage of poor Roy's business.

Wow, David really overreacted to Kylie taking the tablets. As if she did it to hurt Max! Kylie obviously loves her kids and wouldn't deliberately harm them. It should be obvious to David that she's been very stressed recently and not coping. He'd do better to suggest she make an appointment with the GP in her own right than to blame her for feeling desperate.

It was a good idea to lock up the tablets, though he could have done it without so pointedly making Kylie feel even worse.

She sold Max to Becky
