This Callum storyline has to be brought to end soon..I knew Max would lie to save his dad.
Why is Kylie blaming Sarah for all the trouble Callum has caused?? If anyone is to blame, it's Kylie for contacting him for drugs in a first place and David for throwing Kylie out. But mainly Kylie's own doing-disappearing for months...

Agreed. I think Tony is a good character maybe for all the wrong reasons, but nevertheless a strong character.Quote:

Beth and Kirk skinny dipping were funny. She complains that Kirk's unromantic as she ironically orders the poor guy to strip and get into that stagnant looking lake. I think Kirk was eminently sensible to fear leeches and other nasties... http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...aid-990255.gif
She got her comeuppance though. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...ppy-514478.gif
I found the way Jason's attack was filmed to be anti-climactic. It could have been more powerful just showing Max's horrified face with the violence itself left to our imagination.
I hope Carla doesn't sell the company to either of them! Why can't Michelle take over or help her again-she used to work there?? I hope this Aidan or whoever can get it going. Alya or Sally-can't imagine either of them running it successfully.
I think the attack was filmed well. It didn't show anything-only that they were punching and kicking something, and the way these guys appeared to the pub and then lured Jason to the alley by stealing his phone..was really good. I wonder if Sarah and Jason become close again...Eva, please hurry back!
I think Aidan will take over with Michelle´s or Alya´s help, please nobody give Sally the executive position, her head would not fit through the door any longer :pQuote:

I must be watching with my eyes closed, who was Aidan?
I think the whole idea that Carla would consider selling to Sally or Alya is ridiculous. Surely she would put the factory on the market. There would be a number of business people interested in buying it.

Maybe she did advertise it off screen and that is why Aidan Connor turns up???Quote:

If she needs the cash fast and wants a quick sale so to move away she would sell to anyone and I think Sally would be better than AlyaQuote:

She could probably run the factory fine, but her lack of people management skills would have the workers on strike within the week...Quote:

She certainly seems to do the finance bit by herself as she sacked Sally for looking at the accounts. :banned:Quote:

Yes, that's true, though there is a lot more to HR than just hiring and firing.
I don´t think we will ever see real HR situations in soaps, seeing they never seem to advertise for posts and go through a selection and interview process because anyone needing a job seems to have the required experience and skills, even if they have not been working in that field for a while.
Yes, but what I meant was dealing with payroll, pensions, sick leave, welfare, performance reviews, discipline, etc. It is, after all, a fair size work force.
there is a great deal of goverment regulationQuote:

There are a few vocal employees there-
might be a mini storyline ? Ivy Brennan/
Tilsley types arent really relevant now.
Unions dont have as high% membership
as they did-but employees know about
their rights and grievance procedures!
It is a back street factory but none of
employees is "illegal" so dont keep
quiet out of fear.

I think Sally must be supposed to be competent enough at her job otherwise why would Carla have put up with her for all this time (especially when she obviously gets on her nerves)? I imagine as her assistant she would help Carla with all the jobs mentioned above and more (although strangely she doesn't have access to the accounts).
Also, why would Carla seriously contemplate her offer to buy when she's made it clear she wants to protect the factory's future? For all Sally's faults she's not a stupid woman and Kevin would be there to help with the financial side of things.
Saying that, I do think Sally running the factory would be a disaster, but probably more to do with her hopelessness at managing the workforce than the administrative side of the business.

It is a moderately large work force-
tho we only see a few of them. So
there could be a seperate job as
Personnel **manager or assistant but
with defined duties and a chain of
responsiblity.Im a fan of Sallys but
can imagine the havoc caused if
she got involved in some matters.
Not objective enough!
The main problem with soaps regarding
money and business is theres no realism
at all. Too much would be boring but a
bit more attention to some detail would
make stories believable.!
** or even Human Resources( or Remains)
as Ive heard it called:)

Yes. In a factory as large as Underworld (with all the workers we only see occasionally), they would really need someone dedicated to HR work which might include payroll as well, not an easy job in itself, especially with all the overtime they keep getting. They have to keep track of PAYE, NI, pension contributions. As maidmarian says, it would be very boring to show all this, but some recognition of it would not go amiss when this sort of current storyline crops up.
He does actually! ☺ I was surprised how good he is! Well done shayne ��Quote:

The hospital scenes were well done.
I like that Carla went to Roy, love their scenes and there should be more of them
I like Aidan so far, he has a bit of Liam Connor's cockiness and cheeky charm about him if that makes sense
I felt sorry for Todd not being told about Jason and then hearing Eileen as Jason's bed side
