so wrong of shirley to demand dna test for dean, also did she ever do for kevin, how can shirley expect any relationships with mick and linda plus their kids

so charlie's mam is back who framed phil and speaking against dot

[tammyy2j]

I really despise Shirley

Dean seems to having a psychotic breakdown I think but still have no sympathy for him

Why wasn't Sharon at Dot's trial?

Was surprised to see Yvonne back

[Dazzle]

Riveting scenes in court (and good to see Yvonne again) but what was that strange (and presumably highly unrealistic) interlude between the judge and Dot all about?

The Carter family scenes (minus Dean et al of course) were heartwarming.

Although I want the DNA test to go ahead for my own sake, if I was Linda I wouldn't give into Shirley's preposterous demands. If the baby did turn out to be Dean's she'd never escape his harassment! I'm sure the family - who are decent sorts - would love baby Carter anyway because he's half Linda whoever his father is.

Dean seems to having a psychotic breakdown I think but still have no sympathy for him

He's just selfish and totally lacking in empathy as far as I'm concerned (and the same could be said of his mother). He's brought all his recent troubles on himself and is now wallowing in self-pity. I couldn't give a toss that the poor little mite's upset about the baby.

Agreed Dazzle. I still can't see what DTC is trying to achieve with all this. I hope he has a really good ending in mind for Dean.

If I were Linda I would slap Shirley, Dazzle is right Linda should not give in to her demands for a DNA test

I agree but think is she behaving as she always
has(imo). She cant relate to "pleasant normal"
people so tries to bully them but is subservient
to unpleasant types.
I expect in her mind she will have converted
the past into its being Micks fault for the
confusion over parentage!! And Lindas his
partner..

Dont think.she has any understanding of
"family" as most people would mean the
term.

I thought Roxy was going to be keeping her distance from Charlie but why was she at Dot's court case hearing?

Sharon should have been there with Ian
