Thanks. I agree, wish Donna hadn't done this. I hope April doesn't think too badly of her Mum if she finds out.Quote:

Well, Victoria does the dirty work now :D
My heart is breaking for little April
I don't like Marlon on this one. He's over emotional, and the way he told April about her mom, was just so wrong. First of all he shouldn't have told her in the evening just before bedtime, and he shouldn't have said that 'she's sleeping and will never wake up!' The worst thing you could say to a small child about death! Laurel was trying to say that she went to be a superhero in the sky..but Marlon took over and ruined it. Everyone is just..'oh poor Marlon' but what about 'poor April, poor Bob(who has lost Viv, nearly lost Brenda and now his step daughter)OR poor Ross, who finally found love with Donna-the one person who actually meant something for him. Everything that happens around Marlon, is always about Marlon..he feels sorry for himself, that's all. Man up and be a dad for your daughter. And I can fully understand it's hard but he's acting like a child now himself. He shouldn't have told April unless he could hold it together-maybe Laurel would have been better person to tell her, or Brenda.Quote:

Surely Marlon & Laurel could have sought guidance on handling the situation with April, there's been preparation time .Even maybe with Donna ,who was concerned with April's future .Ashley may have given wise advice. I'm sure Marlon would make a good father, once he stops walking about with his head stuck up his backside Finally did the show producers put this out as a good way to inform a young child of a parents death? I hope not, in which case broadcast advisory service data at the end.
Brenda was doing a better job, as was Laurel!!!!
Marlon is a tool, he didn't need to tell Bob about Donna's cancer, but had to drag it back to him him him...
'they' were going to tell Bob and April. 'They' had discussed it...poor Bob, having to first break the news of Donna's death and then having Marlon turning into the Marlon show
I guess no matter who told April it was going to be difficult and Marlon has only got to know her truly the past few months and be her dad
The actress who plays April is doing great, a real little star
Why didn't Debbie tell Cain that Ross was involved, she is covering too much for him
I think if Aaron wasn't involved for sure Marlon would have told the police on Ross and Adam
Laurel too still wants Ross to pay for her car jack "attack"
Jimmy getting caught in Charity and Megan's war, he never learns to keep out
Declan's face was priceless on hearing of Jimmy and Nicola's sex antics in his bed :p
