Look, I'm sorry if I offended anyone, I frankly admit that it was very poorly phrased. As I say I hadn't had the best sleep when I typed that. I've been suffering long term chronic depression with many periods of suicidal thoughts, poor sleep, fatigue, apathy and exhaustion as well as physical pain. I just find it frustrating that the writers continually have Geoff get away with everything. It doesn't help that soapland police seem to be continually incompetent.
Maybe she's referring to his mood swings. When he is being nasty to her, and then later says how sorry he is and couldn't bear to lose her. He is really being manipulative though.Quote:

Even his latest attitude with Tim about Sally, 'I thought this was YOUR house'. Very possessive in a personal and material sense.
I still think Alya could do something through the business. Geoff said that they, as in Geoff and Yasmeen owned one half and Alya the other. I imagine if Geoff is siphoning out major amounts of money from the business that could be checked out for fraud/theft.
geoff paying for escorts not cars :p is from business account
A good solicitor would have arranged for Yasmeen to be seen by a mental health expert.
I'm not sure, but wouldn't that require her consent? The only way I can think that they could do it otherwise is if they got her sectioned and that's really not what is needed.Quote:

did imran tell alya when yasmeen was first taken in by the police she was also seen by a doctor
i think yasmeen is ashamed of what everyone will hear at the trial about her marriage and relationship too so is doubting pleading not guilty for to have a trial and it looks like she still loves that vile pig geoff and blames herself, where is rita and audrey for all this, they'd love a chin wag on this, the gossip
That does seem part of it, she doesn't want to'air her dirty linen', so to speak. The unfortunate thing is that she can't seem to see it's not her fault but solely Geoff's. He's got her convinced everything is her fault.
I agree, but i was referring to her comments regarding Hayley, she is sort of acting like a Petulant child.Quote:

Good to see her back in a big storyline. Peter is going to ruin everything by losing his temper though.
Geoff is as subtle as a punch in the face with his pleading poverty and guilt tripping Tim. Practically everyone in the factory seems ready to out and out believe Geoff whom they barely know, then again he's made sure his side of the story is well heard.
why can carla just tell peter as she was ill and liz back working in the pub
One thing to consider with this Carla storyline is that we only have the other persons (I forgot her name) word that Carla did 'dodgy things', she mentioned to Carla herself that she was suffering from amnesia, so really she could be making crap up about the 'desperate means' she took.
Everything seems to be unravelling for Geoff. Sally, although she hasn't flat out said, obviously doesn't believe Geoff and is at least very uncomfortable round him. Alya certainly doesn't, and Kathy and Eileen don't either. If the solicitors do some proper digging on Geoff's past it surely should come up with some supporting evidence, it might not be flat out proof but could discredit him.
Still hoping that Tim's mum will be contacted and turns up to tell us more about her life with Geoff before she left ....Quote:

At the moment all Geoff's history would be mitigation They needs far more to prove self defenceQuote:

If they did they may be able to retrieve the videos from the laptop. When you delete something it is not removed, it is only the file name that is. Using appropriate software it can be retrieved until it is over written. Tim saw the camera, so possibly he could be the one to do it, if something arouses his suspicions or even if he thinks it would prove Yasmeen's guilt. I seem to remember that Geoff did not delete all the saved videos, only the most recent ones that showed him being injured, so possibly Tim or Faye might see the remaining ones and become suspicious.Quote:

Again it depends. Steam for example is no subscription and does it automatically, some other software might be the same. I think this sort of thing was set up to avoid hassle if you had a fault on your computer like a hard drive needing replaced etc.Quote:

Hoping that the writers do not bring forward Tim's exs or siblings ---I want this to end soon and not be prolonged till 2021 as viewers we do not need to see his past behaviour only now what he has done to Y.
Did Adam arrange the escort for Daniel, is she another also of Geoff?
I enjoyed the scenes of Roy with Carla and Roy with David
Roy was absolutely lovely today. I legit cried when he said “Always” to Carla.
He can convey so much in just one word. What a great actor.Quote:

The faces on those two were priceless. As Carla said, blackmail doesn't work if everyone knows the details, but more importantly with blackmail, you give in to it once and there's nothing to stop that pair from coming back. He can say he'd give his word, but you'd excuse me if I think his word is worth anything.
EDIT.
Not to mention, i was glad to see the usually cynical and sarcastic Evelyn being one of the most vocal supporting Carla. It really defused their plans.
