From the brief glimpse we caught of Martin, I thought they'd done a fair job in getting someone facially similar.

aleks should go after his wife for his daughter's sake plus she looks better than peroxide

the new martin is doing well good casting

lauren is treating peter too badly over the drugs she has done bad things in the past too and also had worse boyfriends

ian is being a total pr*ck

I disagree with Lauren. Would you want to start a life and family with someone who's answer to a drug addict is to keep it going. I know he had good intentions but he wasn't getting rid of her problem and kept quiet after her death. He says its embarrassment but she was murdered. As for Lauren doing bad things, she has, but doesn't mean she should let this slide because you think she's still up on the score.

Is new Martin staying around?

He could help Peter

I thought Peter's dealer was someone we might know

I also liked the new Martin, and his and Sonia's relationship was very much as I remember it. I assume he'll be back as there wouldn't be much point in the recast for two episodes. There were certainly strong hints that

Spoiler:

he might run the fruit and veg stall again when Peter leaves.

I found Lauren quite harsh to Peter as she didn't even attempt to understand his motives. However, you make some good points about the reasons for her attitude I hadn't considered so I've changed my mind now.

I'm not sure that I found Peter turning to drugs a very convincing twist in the tale.

ian is a cruel s.o.b.

Did you see the state of Ian in that last scene though? I'm not condoning his behaviour in any way, and I feel sorry for Peter (even though I'm not a fan of the character), but Ian's really struggling too. It's a mess all round.

Cranking up Tosh's paranoia over Tina and Sonia was extremely ruthless on Babe's part. I guess there's no redeeming Tosh after that brutally violent outburst, which I think is a shame in a way because I think the actress is very good. I hope Tina is able to get away from her permanently now. I've a feeling that Babe and Shirley will get their revenge!

Very convincing scene of the violent outburst .. made me feel uncomfortable just watching
