I do not think so, surely the courts and social services would have to come to a decision about that.Quote:

marlon is very cut up about gus sentence
April has to go to Hotton 7 days a week for several paper roundsQuote:

Good point!Quote:

I heard Mary chastising Gus for stealing Rhona's passport when she was unconscious. I just went back to watch old episodes and found that this is not quite what happened.
Gus, in fact, called an ambulance and really cared about Mary's being okay. I had assumed that he had a depraved indifference to human life and pulled the passport out of her sweater pocket. I was so annoyed that Rhona didn't lead with this in court, that Mary didn't get up to testify about that. However, that wasn't the case at all.
It didn't make his stealing the passport any less evil, but he absolutely got Mary the help that she needed and showed concern.
It makes this story less cut and dry to me. He is still a rat. He still should have allowed Rhona joint custody and he still shouldn't have been ready to take the baby to France.
In a way I was cheering on Rhona when she didn't give the preprepared statement that wasn't the truth at all. But she also went way overboard. I understand it from an emotional level, but she's been preaching putting Ivy first, and she did anything but that. Ivy is going to have quite the stigma in life, being the child of a convict. Of course on soaps, almost everyone is, but my eyes were open and I can admit that the situation was far more complicated than I believed by the more recent scenes that I'd seen.
Eight years is a little crazy. Gus didn't kill anyone. He is guilty but rapists get out of prison sooner than that.
I haven't watched that long, but I understand where Marlon is coming from. He seems like such a sweet, earnest guy. Ivy's best chance for a normal future is with him, not either biological parent.
Gus is a rat but what Rhona did was purely for her own selfish reasons. She wants Ivy for herself, she didn't think about her family or the eventual impact it will have on Ivy not having her father in her life. Marlon is right to be angry IMO.Quote:

Very convenient, then just happened to be checking out when Dawn arrived. Must be one of the most contrived introduction of a new character ever. Why would the hospital have Will listed as her next of kin. Usually when you go into hospital they ask your details, including your next of kin. Does the hospital have a list of everyone in the country and their next of kin. Sounds like Rose has not lived in the area for years so I doubt the hospital would still have her details on file. Anyway would a broken arm be considered a serious enough life threatening condition, that necessitated contacting a next of kin. Yes, contrived or what.Quote:

Rose, a clone of Kerry and a reincarnation of Faith, just what the village needs.
Still waiting for Charles to find the bits in the bible on forgiveness.
Dawn changed her tune pretty quickly. Yesterday she was saying that Kim had been more of a mother to her, today she rolls out the red-carpet to Rose. Bizarre behaviour.Quote:

Totally agreeQuote:

It's as though another set of writers write this episode.
I keep saying this... it is not real life, it is DRAMA... unfortunately not the kind where you keep your breath until the end...Quote:

Wow. Major powerful show today. I loved Chas going off on Kerry. I loved her soul searching, realizing that she didn't want the prosthetics. (Can mastectomy patients get reconstruction in the UK or is that cosmetic and out of pocket?). They didn't mention that third option at all that I can remember. I loved her knowing that she was more than her body. I especially loved how wonderful Charity was and helped her to get over that hump by being there for her.
The Dingles are a mess, but I love how they stick together when times are bad.
Then the baby. When I saw that changing table without any raised edge, I knew what was about to happen and the thought made me sick, and that thump when Evan hit the floor was horrible. That baby is so lucky that he wasn't brain damaged from the fall.
However, that fall might have been a stroke of fate if it allowed for a diagnosis that led to early warnings about a potential disease as awful as leukemia, to allow the family to stay one step ahead of it. I'm glad that this didn't turn into an investigation into abuse. But I'm guilty as well. When she saw the bruise, the first thing that I wondered was whether Rose was alone with the baby and was she drinking at that time.
Now the doctor has mentioned bone marrow to the family, woudn't it be unbelievable if Rose was the only match ? It's as if it's almost BOUND to happen.Quote:

In Chas's case I would think they would now have to wait for her wounds to heal.Quote:
