Todd did hear Eileen say that he used to be the apple of her eye and Jason the dumb one.
It has only been with recent events that she has turned against him.

It was sad that Todd had to hear it.. I felt for him too. I don't really even understand why Eileen said it so strongly that 'jason is my BEST son '??!
Maria will be leaving soon as Samia will need to go on maternity leave so I hope they don´t let her have a fling with Aidan first :nono:Quote:

Any parent knows that there's days when one of the children feels closer than the other, and on the following week it may be the other one. And still, we love them all the same.
I remember that Todd used to be the nicest bloke ever!(I still don't get it how he changed that much??)
I know that Todd has done some horrible things recently, but as much as I've always liked Eileen-I don't understand why she hasn't had any interest getting closer to her son and finding out why he has changed that way or trying to help him. I can only hope that this Jason's attack will in fact be a wake up call for Todd to change his behavior, and try to build the bridges between himself and the rest of the family.
It was totally wrong that no one didn't call to Todd from hospital..

When he had his first long spell in Corrie-Quote:

gay! He was involved with Sarah who was

he was gay-but chased after Nick then had
an affair with a male nurse . He gloated and
boasted about this behind Sarahs back but
eventually told her. The shock caused a problem
with pregnancy -the baby was born but died
soon after. He was not really at all supportive
to Sarah.Not a fan of Sarahs but she deserved
better treatment.!!
I know it would difficult for him as well-
but he was so devious and unkind and
that thats what I remember about him
so his behaviour in current stint is no
surprise to me!
dupl
Todd's totally brought their attitude on himself. Horrible doesn't begin to describe his recent scheming and manipulation! I'm sure Eileen still loves him and would forgive him eventually, but he hasn't shown an ounce of remorse so I don't find it at all hard to understand that she hasn't yet started the process. It probably didn't even occur to her that he'd care enough to want to be told of Jason's condition.
Hopefully she'll start to thaw when she sees how upset he is about Jason.
Spoiler:
eileen or sean could have texted todd to let him know about jason, many fight with siblings but would still care if they were badly injured
I think everyone was in too much of a shock about the horrific attack and worried about the extent of Jason´s injuries that they did not think about informing him, it is difficult to judge how much time had lapsed by the time Todd found out from the police...Quote:

a text from eileen or sean to todd wouldn't take 2 minutes no matter his bad past actions jason is his brother
I so agree lizann! Even when she was sitting in hospital with Tony talking about Todd, Eileen didn't think of sending him a text..at least

When there is a crisis the others may think they
just cannot deal with the problems and
unpleasantness they always bring.
Its normal in families to have arguments
and dis agreements(and get over them) but
not to play cruel tricks ovet years.

how much of jason's life has tony missed but eileen called him and his past isn't good also like todd
Whatever Tony's faults, he's proved his love for Jason since he's been back, and the two were on good terms before Jason took the beating. The only thing Todd's proved is that he hates Eileen and Jason - literally with a vengeance.Quote:

Being an absent parent isnt usually good-Quote:

I dont know why Tony was absent/how long
for etc. But I would say in general
terms an absence can be better than
someone who.is present but treats
people appallingly over long periods of
time

yes we have seen tony's care for jason but the way eileen talked about him when he first showed up made it sound like tony abandoned her and jason and had no contact for many years
todd wasn't all bad i do think he at least deserved a text

Yes-even in hospital this evening when Tony said:'I look after my own.' Eileen replied:' Yes, when it suits..'
Love within family is so much deeper than any other kind of love. Todd has done stupid things but Jason hasn't always been an angel either.

So Bethany goes to the police completely uninvited to make a statement that she was with Callum at the time Jason was beaten up.....Surely even the Soap Police would find that highly suspicious.
as she is young don't she need an adult with her to make a statementQuote:

why is alya staying working at the factory considering she hates carla and isn't buying it now

Some really stupid writing tonight. :moonie:
So Callum knew about Sarah's never before seen habit of continually guzzling coke (something that'll no doubt never be mentioned again either), drugs her and sends Bethany a threatening video from the conveniently deserted Platt house. Sarah just happens not to have a key to Nick's (where she's been living for weeks) because that would've made it impossible for Callum to break in. No doubt the Platts just happened to leave their back door unlocked even though they know Callum spends all his time hanging around their house like a bad smell. And are the police really going to drop any suspicions of Callum on a sixteen year old's say so? :wall:
Going back to Eileen and Tony: he's not a very nice man and, yes, he's been a terrible father most of Jason's life, so it says a lot that Eileen currently feels he cares more about Jason than Todd does.
I wish just for once Carla could find her own way out of her financial troubles without a man having to come to her rescue. :wall:
I wonder will Leanne tell Eva about Jason this could lead to her return
let her get lostQuote:

I like Aidan, loved his wink to Sally and Sean
Did Sarah not tell Tony that Bethany is Callum's alibi on purpose
Liz confirmed my suspicions tonight that she still owns her half of the pub. The sale of her share to Carla must have been cancelled after the truth about Tony's scam came out. Why did the writers leave it to the viewers to work it out for themselves for so long? :searchme:
Robert is obviously supposed to be one of those clichéd control freak chefs. I enjoyed Aidan winding him up. :D
It's so stupid the police have dropped their investigation into Callum beating Jason on Bethany's say so. There must be plenty of witnesses to Callum threatening Jason, along with Max's testimony and the fact that Callum is well known to the police anyway. There's no way he wouldn't still be top of their suspect list in reality.
