I enjoyed the scenes in the Vic. However We did not need Whitney and Lee's scenes in tonights episode. Like Kat and Kim together. I love kim's laugh. Kellie Bright was excellent as always.

I must have missed something somewhere. Is Lee in the army or not?

[parkerman]

That's what I thought. So why is he being sent out as a bomb disposal expert? And why did he say he could get his CO to post him nearer home?

[Perdita]

Maybe he was not really discharged but was a member of the SAS and not allowed to tell anyone

...the goon in car is after kim ordered by vincent

I think the man in the car was actually following Kat. It was a twist at the end and got the duff duffs (unless I completely got the wrong end of the stick!).

Yes he is. He was going to go AWOL but Mick persuaded him not to. He then went back to his unit but started an army plumbing course a couple of months later. One of the selling points of the army is that you can learn a trade whilst there which will set you up for later life (coincidentally I saw a recruiting advert on TV just this morning that said just that).

I enjoyed last night's episode (even gobby Kat was bearable) but I think they missed a trick or two.

I'd have liked to have seen Kat and Linda have had a real in-depth heart-to-heart about their rapes and subsequent pregnancies. As it was it was barely touched upon, which puzzles me.

Also, it would have been the perfect time for Shirley to apologise profusely to Linda for bullying and humiliating her about the rape. I still can't believe the Carters have allowed Shirley back into their lives without so much as a sorry!

Abortion for Linda is still legal for another few weeks. Not pleasant, but legal. The earlier the better, so it would have made sense to do the test when Nancy mentioned it.

Linda couldn't go through with an abortion much earlier in the pregnancy so she's not going to now (and I'm pretty sure EE wouldn't got there at this stage as it'd be too harrowing). She was traumatised and not thinking straight after the rape so she wasn't thinking logically about the baby.

Not all rape victims who get pregnant have abortions anyway. (Little Mo didn't if you remember.)

Yes, I agree. That's what I thought.

He's been on leave a long time hasn't he?
