A wasted opportunity

its really just been orchestrated to bring about the escalated Yasmeen vs Sally feud?

Hearsay evidence is admitted under certain circumstances. For instance, the following could be deemed to apply in this case:

The court is satisfied that it is in the interests of justice for it to be admissible

And even if it wouldn't be admissable in reality, soap writers twist things to suit themselves all the time so I certainly wouldn't be averse to them doing so to send Tracy down.

Best bit of the episode for me was Carla and Leanne. I have also warmed to Yasmeen. I hope she stays in the street with the rest of the Nazir's.

The main problem with the episode was there was far too much of Tracey in it. :(

I agree with all of that. The Leanne/Carla conversation felt very real and was nice reminder what good actresses both Jane and Alison are when given well-written material.

I also like Yasmeen and the rest of the Nazirs, and hope Kate Oates doesn't listen to the calls for them to be axed.
