If I were Linda I couldn't stand to be in the same house as Stan knowing he believes her a liar. He'd have to go, dying or not I'm afraid. I think Tina's confused about what to believe because of Shirley's poison, but I think she'll believe Linda when she hears her side.

Shabnam's comments about running to lose weight and her alluding to having known a certain type of man were interesting.

dot really don't care phil is in jail and is innocent that isn't very christian of dot, very unlike her

I didn't get the impression Dot doesn't care about Phil. Sharon's assured her she can get him out without the Cottons being involved. We don't know Dot's motivation yet but I'd be astonished if she was putting Nick first given what he's done.

I am liking this take control Sharon proving she is a Mitchell

Me too. I love strong and feisty Sharon.

As far as the Phil storyline goes, I still can't get over the fact that he is suddenly broke. He has three businesses (well, did have till Ben signed one over to Max) and is always show to be rolling in money. How come he is suddenly broke?

I think Ronnie took all of Phil's ready cash and the rest is tied up. We don't know for a fact that the money in the safe was Roxy's - that could be long gone. Didn't Shirley say something like "ask Phil about Roxy's money"? She didn't specify an amount or what has happened to it. It could be invested and tied up for all we know.

Phil's businesses probably bring in lots of cash but what I don't understand is that Ritchie's been his lawyer for years and knows all about his assets. Therefore, even though he didn't have the cash to hand, surely she'd know he's good for it sooner or later?
