anyone else Tina was way overacting last night?

Not really.. her dad's dead

[alan45]

Perhaps she knows she's up against it with Lacey Turner when it comes to next year's soap award!

The year is barely started and folk have already decided that Lacet Turner will win the award. ALL the soaps have a lot more dramatic storylines to come before the year is up.

Yes, but will they be explosive and rock the Square/Cobbles?

[Perdita]

Of course they will, parkerman, we will be told that they are

[Chris_2k11]

Whatever happens, its sure to be sensational........

and the Dales

I don't get why Gail was so worried about Joe getting into any trouble when no insurance claim was being made for his faked death. Surely it would have been the fraud that was the criminal offence, not just his disappearance. People vanish and start new lives all the time.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't imagine that Joe would have gone to prison, or even been charged with anything, for faking his death, if Gail had been open from the start and told the police everything. There would have been no investigation into his "death" and no insurance fraud, so no crime. Or am I completely wrong about that?

[Perdita]

Unless planning the fraud is a crime? I agree with you though, he has not made a claim, so no crime committed

If Gail had told the police everything of course Joe would have been arrested for trying to commit fraud. Tha fact that Gail didn't go through with it doesn't alter the fact that Joe's intentions were a criminal act.
