Has Bob ever acknowledged that Cathy was partly, if not equally, to blame? Bob and Jimmy probably best of pals again, by the end of next week.

It was Cathy's idea. Cathy took the keys. Cathy stole the car.

It's ridiculous that Cathy has got off scott free.

I understand that Angelica compounded the issue because she lied about it and obstructed justice, but Cathy really was the mastermind and was the driver for most of the trip, with all the actions spoken about in the sentencing verdict. She just wasn't at the wheel at the time of the crash. It is ridiculous, as you say, that she got off without any charge, because there is no equivalent weighting for the crimes.

It would have been helpful if we had heard the prosecution outline the circumstances of the case.

There is also supposed to be a inquest into a sudden death.

Angelica just makes me so sad

ITV couldn't be @rsed to show us or tell us why poor Angelica was driving and why the car crashed. Most unsatisfactory.

I have said this before but it is happening more frequently, where the beginning and the end of a story are written but important middle parts are glossed over because they cannot come up with ideas to explain them, or do not put the effort into writing them.

You are correct and in this case I can only put it down to a lack of effort.

Not only survived, but out of hospital in double quick time. On occasions when I have been in hospital, in orthopaedic wards, I have shared the ward with guys recovering from car and motorcycle crashes, that were there for months.

Did they ever actually tell us Heath's cause of death. He was sitting in the back with his seat belt on, still in his seat, while Cathy and Angelica in the front seemed to escape with a few cuts and bruises. The car hit a dry stone wall and although damaged, it was not crushed out of recognizable shape. I would not have expected anyone to die in a crash like that.

Well I cried heaps from today's show. I lost it when Angelica said that she's scared. It reminded me of Dorothy in the crystal ball telling Aunt Em that she's scared. And then my husband had to make me laugh by quoting the witch when her face replaced Dorothy's in that scene. He knows how I think all too well. He can never let me have my moments with my soaps. LOL

It was all very touching. Bob was fantastic today, as he was reading the letter. Then we had Nicola going to Bob to apologize. Everyone lost. It was all so tragic.

Then I lost it again as Chas looked so scared going into surgery, hearing her breathing on that gurney. Then I did it again when she realized that the cancer was out of her and looked so relieved.

I loved loved loved Charity going all Jack Nicholson on Ruby.

It was a phenomenal episode. I just wish I understood Angelica's sentencing and what actually happened in that car.
