Cruel teenagers. I remember when i was a kid i kept all my dolls in boxes and took them out to play for short periods so they did'nt get ruined. Burglars took every single one. I was so shocked.

Awww, I am so sorry - yes, people can be so cruel .. burglars steal some much cherished memories at times which can never be replaced ....

Thought Roy was striding out to re-visit "Lillian" the fortune teller at one point on the Blackpool trip

That would have been a good scene.

Hayley's son involved with the burglary at Roys Rolls ?

Those unpleasant teenagers seem like rather convenient suspects in the break-in to me, but I can't imagine who else could have done it. What makes you think it could be Hayley's son, Glen?

I don't want to see the vulnerable Roy suffer any more.

That's so sad!

Excellent and well-written episodes last night.

Audrey getting all hot and bothered over Luke was funny. I don't blame her as he's rather lovely. Decent actor too too.

The trial scenes were suspenseful with plenty of twists and turns. It's to Chris Gascoyne's credit that I can't help liking Peter no matter how badly he behaves. The barristers and judge were excellent too. It's unusual to see a judge summing up in a soap as far as I can recall. I don't know what my verdict would be if i were on that jury as there's a lot of circumstantial evidence against Peter with only the fact that he told Carla all the lurid details of the affair in his favour. Will that be enough to put doubts in the jury's minds?

What's everyone's best guess at the verdict? Mine is that he'll be found guilty.

Same here, Lillian and Roy would have been cracking. Agree again the group of youths seem a bit obvious, and I guess the link with the storyline re Hayley, remembered what an obnoxious git the son was.sort of thing he would do. Complete speculation. The young lass on the jury seemed to accept Peters' account,but like you I think he will be found guilty . I don't think either of us should place any bets, my track record on these things is poor to say the least.

Yeah, he was a complete monster.

So is mine! In fact, going by my track record, it might be safe to say Peter will be found not guilty since I err on side of guilty.

I'm going for Not Guilty....

[Dazzle]

2 guilty to 1 not guilty so far.

Post made by Dazzle earlier , quote " The barristers and judge were excellent too. It's unusual to see a judge summing up in a soap as far as I can recall." It is strange, Could a third possible outcome be a hung jury and re-trial ?

The judge did instruct the jury to have a unanimous verdict though .....

I think if the jury fail to unanimously agree ,the judge may order a retrial, particularly for a murder case. Again only speculation ,may be a reason for such a detailed summary by the judge ,helps keep us viewers content if it happens.
