I am glad Mick is the father

But again now the baby daddy drama is overshadowing the rape which needs to have a favourable outcome for the victim, Dean needs to be punished, Linda needs justice

Thats the thing though, what justice can be done - the only way this Dean thing ends is if he either confesses or he and Linda reach some haven - for instance portraying Dean in a less villainous picture.

I hope he confesses and then hands himself into the police

Surely portraying Dean as less villainous would
be the opposite of justice and add insult to
injury for Linda. Like it didnt really matter.
His general attitude since the rape has just
made things worse.

The producer has promised all along that there
would be justice -but not the legal kind.Very
few rapists are punished by the legal.system-
so this reflects real life -I suppose.

But some other sort of justice could befall
Dean ( some a little gory to speculate upon)
or a natural justice or retribution that seriously
affects him.&his life.!The producer must have
had at least one potential storyline in mind!

Anyway it has been promised-so I think
quite a number of viewers are waiting for it
to.happen and wont.really be satisfied til
it does.

a rapist shouldn't get a happy ending, dean cant be redeemed

I'm positive Shabnam's baby story will play into Dean getting justice somehow. I still think he raped her and that will come out at some point. Shabnam doesn't realise that she was too drunk to consent and that his ignoring the whole thing happened afterwards is exactly what he did to Linda too. He might have even spiked Shabnam's drink because she said she didn't usually get drunk (or words to that effect) if I remember correctly.

I'm feeling slightly better than I was about the rape storyline because I think the writing is subtly turning against Dean. We're still being treated to his self-pity, but he's been behaving more and more unreasonably. Buster obviously suspects him of the rape now and both he and Shirley were shocked by his violent outburst last night. The wool is slowly being lifted from their eyes.

It's a pity it's all taking so long to reach a conclusion! Dean has to get justice for all our sakes now. Perhaps it'll be in the form of being cut out of Roya's life for ever.

one thing puzzling me was how shirley had blood test records for dean from when he was a child tested for same illness as jimbo, the only item shirley permanent has is her nude colour mac, she moves gaffs all the time
