and why have we never solved the mystery of who was in the coffin at Nick Cotton's first funeral????

I think it was mentioned that Les Coker acquired the corpse. It was possibly an unclaimed body?

[Kim]

without being gross at tea time - after two months how recognisable would Paul's body have been????

More recognisable than Den's after a year in water hopefully.

Would they not have checked dental records etc in order to establish it was Paul before contacting Patrick? Or has someone conveniently planted Paul's driving licence etc on the body...

[parkerman]

Surely not.

I'm 99% sure that Paul's body was identified by Patrick. The viewers didn't see the body but we saw his reaction.

You are 100% correct. Patrick did identify the body....but when did a little thing like that ever stop EE from introducing a new ridiculous storyline?

I hate the writing for Stacey lately, chasing after Kush so another bloody affair for her, she should be used more as a friend and confidant for Linda, in the rape storyline to help catch Dean out

I also like Stacey and Shabham's friendship so don't want that ruined

I love Pearl! She's such a placid baby - unlike a certain little girl of a similar age I know...

At least Buster had the decency to tell Masood about Jade's cystic fibrosis. The latter seemed strangely unperturbed by the news though.

Shirley's determined to go against Buster (and Dean's) wishes to force Jade and her father together. I can't believe I once liked Shirley (some of the time at least)! She's a completely one-dimensional vindictive harridan nowadays and I can't imagine ever liking her again.

It's such a coincidence Lizann asked about Stacey and her meds a couple of days ago on another thread since she was shown taking them (and not drinking) in Tuesday's episode. I assume she was took something extra as she told Martin she was having a bad day.

Go Nancy! You make sure Shabnam hears about Stacey and Kush's betrayal. Stacey wasn't expecting a mouthful from Nancy lol.

Yes, I thought that when I saw Stacey taking her meds, though I don't think she was necessarily taking something extra. I think she was just covering up for what she was actually taking.

[tammyy2j]

I thought Stacey's bipolar condition was common knowledge to all so why is she hiding her meds then

[Perdita]

Kush might not have known/might not know yet?? And do the Carters??

I thought she might be taking extra because she wouldn't drink as she normally does (and she must take meds every day to keep on an even keel). Maybe she was just being extra careful that day?

It looked like she was hiding them from Martin but it was made clear he's aware of her condition later in the episode. I don't understand it.
