Not just the Gary story, but the christening and Kevin too.Quote:

I cannot think of any good innocent explanation that Lou could have offered for Gary 's injury.
She gave an explanation to the nurse last night, saying Gary fell from a ladder or something. But that was obviously complete nonsense. The paramedics and the doctors examining him would have seen he had been whacked on the head with a heavy object and presumably would have informed the police. In any case, being found in suspicious circumstances like he was, the paramedics and/or the hospital would have informed the police immediately.Quote:

The whole scenario is complete and utter nonsense.
Billy was very quiet when James found out about the christening. I am not religious but attended church every Sunday when I was young. So saw many christenings. I remember that parents and god parents had to make promises to bring up the child in the ways of God and the church. Bit difficult for James if he was not there. I also seem to remember that parents and god parents had to attend pre baptism classes. If Adam and Alya were the god parents, I am not sure a muslim can be a god parent to a Christian child.
I only watch Corrie and Emmerdale... they are both very similar and I have no doubt that the other soaps are of a similar ilk... The producers/scriptwriters have run out of ideas because they started to rush into dramatic storylines too fast and too often.. there are no happy living episodes showing couples and their families sitting at a table, talking how school was for the kids, what everyone would like for tea/dinner, talking about the upcoming football tournament, the price of fish and chips these days ... not a whole episode, of course, but just a few brief scenes with a bit of humour thrown in. I think it would make soap life more realistic and more human again, like it used to be... we have had too many OTT storylines, a lot of them badly executed and acted. Just my opinion, of course.Quote:

does he know about the brother and abi , she will definitely go over the cancer lieQuote:

Yes, that is why he is lying about the cancer so not to lose Abi... I wish Abi and Carl had done the dirty deed when they first met in the car park (in a hotel, not in the car park!) and got it over with, this will they or won't they is boring me to deathQuote:

Best not to ask, SoC! But I believe Carphone Warehouse has a shop on site.Quote:

Sorry, duplicate post!
You are probably right, anyway the staff would never find his phone, hidden so well as it is , under his mattress.Quote:

I have to admit that I don't understand the Aadi storyline. The shop was ?6,000 in debt. He managed to save ?6,000 from the shop and put it in the safe so it could be stolen and he could claim it on the insurance. Why didn't he just use the ?6,000 he'd saved to pay off the debt. I'm sure I am missing something simple here, so would be grateful if someone can tell me what I've missed.
I think what you have missed, is that this is just, a badly written plot to enable Bernie to bring Kit and Brody together somehow.Quote:

Thank you, I thought it was just me that did not get it...Quote:

Surely rather than risk jail, better to use the ?6,000 he saved. I for one would not want to get involved in a criminal enterprise with Brody. Especially as it was obvious that it was Brody running away from the shop. Anyway the annual audit will show that the books do not balance.Quote:

Perhaps we should ask their class teacher.Quote:

And is Asha not part of the Alahan empre anymore? Would all this have an impact on her if she still is??? :hmm:Quote:

You forgot to mention that they probably have a liquid junch, with more than a few too many.Quote:

My continued viewing is hanging by a thread, saved tonight by Debbie and Sally.
I am having a hard time thinking of anyone that I care about, certainly not Gary, Maria, Sarah, James or Michael. I still like David and Shona and maybe Adam and Alya.Quote:
