Why do people in films and on tv never look at a door when they want to make a phone call that somebody else in the house is not meant to know about? :p

Steve actually wasn't too bad in the robbery scenes - there was even a glimpse of better acting when he was genuinely scared. But all too soon he was back to OTT acting and that stupid shouty voice that he does in times of stress.
I agree about Carla - she's clearly not well enough to be out of hospital. And Roy has been living in that flat for as long as I can remember. Why should he feel he has to move out? Maybe the producers are trying to get him out of his comfort zone as a character and see how he gets on in a different environment? Whatever the reason it'll be weird seeing him live in someone else's house after all this time.

I'm nearly sure Tracy has a licence already which she got back in 2004 or thereabouts, around the time she was trying to get money out of Roy and Hayley for her baby. Not sure why she got it, probably to get a job at Streetcars alongside Steve who she was chasing at the time.

The horse storyline might be stupid but one of the high points of this week (so far) has been seeing a glimpse of the old Gail, instead of the silly buffoon she's become recently. I really felt sorry for Audrey too, given how much she has done for her family over the years. It's a pity the Platts couldn't have just had a normal holiday but it's good to see Audrey and Gail at the centre of a serious storyline.

Last night's episode was amazing. I loved how it looked and felt so different to the usual style of filming and the Rana cameo was genuinely shocking.
Of course there were plotholes too, like Gary being able to steal Sarah's phone back from Carla and listening to his incriminating voicemail in a public place, but in general it really held my attention, right to the end.
Was it worth all the build up? For the most part, yes, but I think the "special episode" concept was revealed too far in advance. Personally I felt like we were waiting for it for far too long and a lot of hope was pinned on it, as if it could make up for all the rubbish plots we've had. Maybe they should focus on producing good episodes all year round, rather than depending on BGT weeks.

They need to get a balance... I loved this week, especially Carla's episode,... whatever storyline .. you always get people that do not like it .. for whatever reason and that is good ... I personally loved the Carla scenes .. others less but they were needed to explain the storyline we as viewers have not seen yet :)

And Gail is as usual treating Nick as 'the golden boy'. What does he have to do to convince Gail otherwise, go on a murder spree? I think personally he's an oily snake and suggesting that David take the fall for him because he can't lose Leanne and/or go to Jail is ridiculous.

She's been going around stealing phones apparently, although I've no idea how she managed to do that. In general I enjoyed the week but I could have done without the horse scenes and Sally's dinner party. Maybe they should just focus on one storyline in future, which would allow them to include other characters and how that storyline affected them.

I always think if you are going to have a meeting with your solicitor to discuss your defence against possible fraud and money laundering charges, it is always best to hold it in a public place where anyone can overhear. Roy's Rolls would be ideal.

If Gary was able to pay all the knicker stitchers' wages with what he raised from selling the passports back, either he had an inordinate number of passports or they don't get paid very much. And, you know what, if I was offered my own passport back for £200 by someone I might either call the police or just say, "No thanks, I'll just order a replacement one from the Passport Office."

I'm guessing Roy will be moving back into his own flat although I would have liked a few scenes of him living with Ken and trying to get on with Simon.
For a moment I thought Nick was actually going to be the new "villain", the way he was talking to David and trying to get himself out of trouble. I know Gary was a bit of a thug in his earlier years but I just can't see him as a long term baddie.
And that temporary factory is annoying me. How do they work in such a confined space, as well as fitting in all the equipment? And how can Gary work there, knowing he's responsible for the workers' situation in the first place?

A very mixed episode last night. The surprise party was actually quite funny until the crude attempt at humour ruined it (the message on the cake). Why can't they write humour for grown adults?
The noise war - words fail me. Seriously, how long did it go on for?
I enjoyed the storyline with Roy and the ring. True, it's been going on too long but it's always good when Roy has a storyline of his own and isn't just the advisor or emotional support in someone else's storyline. Part of me wished they had dedicated more of the episode to his reaction and his sadness about not knowing his mother but that's just me.

I think it's such a pity that Sylvia has died as I would have loved to have heard more of her perspective and why she treated Roy the way she did. I've mentioned before that he can't have been an easy child to raise, being emotionally distant and a bit "odd", and it would have been nice to see another side to the "nosy battleaxe who didn't love Our Poor Roy" narrative that most viewers have in their minds.
Maybe she has left something - a letter or diary that reveals she did love him after all? It would give Roy some peace of mind at last, now that he's ready to grieve for her.

I was wondering that too. Not only is he controlling but it looks like knows how to sell on stolen goods too - has he always been like that?
That scene where he tore up Kal's photograph was awful, mostly because it was completely unnecessary. It has no financial value so he could have returned it to Yasmeen somehow - maybe pretending that the thieves had thrown it away and that he had found it, which would still serve his purpose of making Yasmeen grateful towards him. It's so sad that she's lost the picture of her dead son.

The whole storyline is a bit odd as there's been no indication up until now that Geoff would sell someone else's belongings or that he would know someone dodgy. The idea that he would buy a replacement is odd too as he's made no financial gain, it's all just part of the manipulation.

Good for Gail. Who can blame her. She has a rotten family who take her for granted, doing the washing, ironing, cleaning and cooking and being a baby sitter at the drop of a hat.

David has never shown any respect to his mother hence he always refers to her as "Gail." Nick has turned into a vile money grabbing yuppy, (do we still have yuppies?) Sarah Lou is wrapped up in her own little world and then we have Audrey, a man in every port who was a dreadful mother and is not much better now. It winds me up that Audrey tries to be a pillar of the community, the trollop trying to make good. The only decent one amongst them is Bethany.

I'm not sure about this. The writers have tried giving Roy a relationship before (with Cathy) and it didn't work out. Besides, Evelyn is nosy, judgmental and nasty just for the sake of it so I can't imagine Roy having much interest in her. Most of all, she reminds me of Sylvia, which is a bit disturbing... I can see them having an uneasy, love-hate friendship, kind of like what they have now, rather than an actual relationship. I'm wondering if this is all for comedy purposes only, with "hilarious" misunderstandings ahead, such as Roy sleepwalking into Evelyn's room, etc. Mind you, with two great actors involved they might make it work.

The problem is that the slavery/trafficking storyline was announced too early, like Carla's mental health crisis, so I think we've just got fed up waiting for it. It's certainly a relevant issue, sadly, but I was sort of hoping that Seb could just get a normal teenage storyline and fall in love with a nice character who was just trying to make a better life for herself. And I'm still hoping that Jan is going to come to his senses about his "business" (or perhaps he already has, and is helping to bring the gang down?) rather than turning out to be another baddie.

It's lazy writing, all the Soaps seem to do it now. They set plot points but don't put enough effort into the writing of how to reach them or connect them. They want Gary to have the money to rebuild the factory but the whole tale of him taking over Rick's business and now finding his money has been just impossible to believe.

I like Emma and it's great to see her at the forefront of a serious storyline but I feel like it's all been landed on us in a short space of time. We've never met Emma's dad before, in fact she's hardly mentioned her family at all, and we never knew how close they were so although she acted it very well it was hard to share her grief. I'm still unsure about this upcoming storyline about her and Steve, but it might give Steve something more serious to do, which is a welcome change.

Robert... what a plonker.

That was a mess. There must have been some excuse he could have given - "I'm bringing the ring be be re-sized for a colleague/friend/etc to save save her (or him?) the journey". He could even have told her it was Michelle's ring, given that they work together and Vicky thinks they've split up anyway. Pretty much anything would have been better than that forced proposal.

Also, of course, an amazing coincidence that on that day in particular - after all that time - Michelle should ask Robert to get the ring resized and then that it should fall out of his pocket at Vicky's house. You couldn't make it up.....oh, they did!

Whoever thought that the dreadful Chesney/Gemma storyline could be improved by the introduction of her laughable (but distinctly unfunny) mother is deluded. Whoever wrote the stolen tree storyline for her should be ashamed of themselves - it was beyond pathetic. Whoever came up with the apparently forthcoming storyline about stolen urine and false pregnancy tests should be deported.

I liked Emma and Steve's scenes together - she actually brings out different, calmer aspects of his personality. I really hope they take this storyline seriously and don't turn it into a joke, which it seemed to be on Wednesday, with Steve in his sparkly jacket and (apparently) smelling of urine... It was only in his scenes with Tracy that he seemed to revert to his shouty, face pulling persona.

Geoff was unbelievable tonight. He's a controlling bully who wants to make Yasmeen feel insecure and dependent, when he's the insecure one, wanting Yasmeen all to himself and needing to be the sole focus of her attention on the few occasions they're in a group. And yet.. I'm actually interested in this storyline as he's not an obvious bully, at least he wasn't when he came into the show first and there's a certain charisma about him, to the extent that you can understand why Yasmeen went out with him in the first place. The only problem is that the storyline is constantly being sidelined (as other interesting storylines have been) so it loses momentum. I really hope they stay with it for a while.

I wish Daniel had just left that guy alone. I know he was trying to help but it would have been much better revenge if the customer had seen Bethany and realised that she was moving on, with a job in a nice restaurant, and that he and his sick friends would never be able to hurt her again or stop her from living her life.
And what kind of weirdo is Geoff? I actually thought he would forgive her by the end of the second episode but he's really making her wait.

I'm not so sure about members of Nathan's group seeing that Bethany had moved on? I would have thought a group like that might well try intimidating her once they realised where she was. Not necessarily to abuse Bethany, but to keep her quiet from going to the police.

Pity we didn't see more of Geoff and Yasmeen's storyline but I think it's continuing soon.

Does Max know that Shona's son killed his mother? If not, he's going to be even angrier when he finds out. I sort of feel sorry for him - he lost both his parents to violent deaths when he was still quite young and now his father figure is in prison and Gail has swanned off to Thailand.
