Where were the twins?

Interesting to hear Mo say that Winston had told her about Kat in the Mini Mart...

Kat's pain has been heart-rending these last couple of episodes. Adding Tommy being so damaged by events and I'm finding it very sad. Not sure I can watch tonight's episode either so I might give it a miss. High praise to Jessie and the writers for their portrayal of the continuing effects of child abuse on Kat and her family though.

When Max initially conned Ben I remember saying that I couldn't wait for Phil to find out to wipe the smug expression off Ben's face (this is back when Ben was lording it over Sharon about the power of attorney). I take it all back now! Phil managed to successfully manipulate Ben into believing Max was to blame for Phil's nastiness.

I loved Max's smirk when he caught Phil and Ben giving him the evils. I'd really like Max to win this one.

Why the hell is Sharon still in that house? Does she want her own son to be on the receiving end of Phil's temper?

Agree , breaks your heart to see Tommy in such a state, seeing him refusing to remove his facemask adds to the impact of the scenes. Alfie gets more annoying every episode, laughing boy really needs a good shake to wake him up from his pathetic inactivity.

I was pleased when they said Ann Mitchell
was joining EE but then disappointed at her
early storylines. Glad that this has improved
recently as she is a very good actress.

I wonder what will happen to the character
now. Dont think she will be assimilated into
Carters and not many Brannings left now
and they are mainly in-laws apart from Abi.

Shame she wasnt cast as Peggy Mitchell years
ago- tho probably not old enough to be Phils
mum and she probably preferred theatre
work at the time.!

Ann Would have been perfect in the role.

Phil is a dreadful parent, no wonder Ben went from Billy Elliot to Norman Bates. Who would want to be part of that family?

Jessie Wallace was superb again. Her performance is very raw.

Jessie Wallace was superb again. Her performance is very raw.

What gets me about yesterday's episode was that Mo, Stacey and Alfie all encouraged Kat to open up about her feelings, but when she did their reaction was to sit there looking uncomfortable! What about a bit of reassurance or offers to help/get her help, guys??

dean and buster back, jessie is playing a blinder with this storyline as kat

[tammyy2j]

Was it Shirley who called the police on Dean as Mick seems too obvious
