I wonder if the baby will be called Lucy?

I'm finding it hard to understand why Denise said that she'd forgiven Ian, when it's obvious she hasn't. Is it for Patrick, Cindy and the baby's sake? Ian was lovely to Cindy in yesterday's episode but he's poisonous as a partner. I'm hoping Denise will be able to break free soon.

It was about time Nancy had some decent screen time and I'm really glad she took Mick to task for the cruel way he spoke to the broken Rainie.

I think your right Dazzle , it's for Patrick's sake. The expression on Denise's face when Ian gave her a hug seemed to show she's planning revenge. Nancy was very good . Don't understand why Mick spoke to Rainie that way, thought he was better than that. Started to show a nasty side.

The paramedic and the midwife took their time getting out of the ambulance didn't they? They pulled up outside Ian's house and Denise had enough time to get across the square from the Vic; Ian had time to deliver the baby, all before they midwife got into the house. I hope they don't have too many emergencies to deal with!

Ha ha...I didn't notice that as I was too caught up in the emotion of the delivery. Well spotted!

Don't understand why Mick spoke to Rainie that way, thought he was better than that. Started to show a nasty side.

I've always thought that Mick might have a dark side, though I was surprised at his vindictiveness in that scene. Nancy was shocked too.

We've had nine months of Mick being built up as a nice guy through and through, so it will be interesting if the layers start to be pulled back to show something different now.

Danny Dyer has always said that there was a darker side to Mick ....

After the way Ian and Cindy bonded in Thursday's episode, it was a real let-down (and completely nonsensical) that Ian would then up and leave.

I'm really, really pleased that Denise didn't continue to make excuses for Ian and left him. It's a shame she's having to care for Patrick alone though - I hope she takes up the social worker's offer of help. Diane Parish is such an underrated actress.

Denise is a saint for taking on the care of Patrick when they're not even related! She shouldn't have to be doing it, IMO, Anthony should be doing a lot more for his dad. He should be providing continuing financial support to Denise if he wants her to be Patrick's carer. A one off payment of £2000 isn't going to last long. And it seemed Anthony was more than happy for Ian to cover the fees if Patrick had gone into a care home. That's just outrageous.

I agree, she is a saint but I don't think she was forced into doing it. She could have let the state take care of Patrick but decided against this (but she could still take advantage of the support that was offered). It is outrageous that Anthony isn't helping out though, especially as he was portrayed as a good guy when he was a regular character.
