I didn't feel sad or much sympathy for Nick and Erica but I was sad for Tim tonight

I do hope Tim isn't paired with Anna who still has photos of Owen's kids on her flat walls, I would think all reminders of him and his family would be taken down, I know Izzy is connected through Gary and Jake

So there were 20 questions in the first round of the quiz; Eileen gave 16 answers and then said they were moving on to the second round. How will the quizzers know if they got the last four right!?

Don't give Norris more to complain about

I was shocked to enjoy Tracey and Amy's scenes discussing Brian's love life last night! They work well together and obviously enjoy it.

I didn't feel sad or much sympathy for Nick and Erica but I was sad for Tim tonight

I felt really sorry for Erica as she was obviously totally gutted to lose the baby. Nick seemed more upset he was still stuck with Erica for the time being though.

I felt bad for Tim as well, but the truth is he can still see plenty of Miley (unless the other family don't play nice). I wonder if we'll see the baby visiting Anna and Tim, or if the writers will forget her existence now?

I noticed Tim giving Anna a very affectionate look when they were hugging after Miley'd left. Please don't do that to us Stuart Blackburn!

I'm going to defend Anna for once and say the pictures of Katy and Izzy are still on her wall because she considers them family and not because she harbours feelings for Owen.

Trust you, our resident quiz expert, to be on the ball about that!

Fiz went in the Roy's with a cake order and next minute there was Alya with the girls sandwich order when lunch break had already started!!! Shouldn't that sandwich order be given in the morning-them sandwiches take a while to prepare too..They are well looked after at the factory-surprised they can get any work done from all eating!!!

Anna changed her tune quickly..They all behaved like Miley was taken away to a far away country, when she's actually still living in Manchester and they could see her anytime. They didn't give her for adoption.

I haven't warmed up the whole Erica+Nick relationship so I didn't really have any sympathy for Erica. Nick hadn't even convinced me that he wanted that child..he didn't look heartbroken either..!! Everything was just too rushed..

I loved Tracy's comment about Def having more girlfriends than Rod Stewart!!

Barm cakes or sandwiches have never been pre-ordered from the cafe, probably because there is not a big order as most workers in Underworld actually bring their own or go to their own homes seeing they live across the road I have not taken to Erica at all, with or without Nick, they were having some fun, no more, neither has ever been broody to start a family, hence both of them don´t look too upset or with the health risks involved with a 50 year old mother, I would think that they should all be quite relieved that Erica won´t have to go through a risky pregnancy - don´t understand why Nick feels the need to be there for Erica, she did not even seem bothered about him since her return???

You don't have to be broody to grow very attached to an accidental pregnancy. Once you know the baby exists, especially when you've seen the scan, your feelings can change in an instant. That's what happened to me when I got accidentally pregnant as a teenager. I was the one among my group of friends who swore blind I'd never have a family - yet I was the first to have a baby!

I would've been really gutted to have had a miscarriage and often worried about it, so I understand what Erica's going through. I thought Nick was secretly a bit relieved though, especially since he's in love with Carla.

I understand what you are saying but you were a teenager ... Erica is 50 and there would have been risks to both mother and the baby .. I can empathise with Erica feeling a bit sad about having lost the baby but having been given the impression she never wanted a family I can´t quite see why suddenly she is so upset, it would be different if she had always wanted a family but for some reason it had not happened so far ....

No doubt she was aware of the risks but that wouldn't preclude an intense emotional attachment from forming. Given my experience it makes perfect sense to me that a woman can suddenly go from not wanting a baby to intensely loving a baby she discovers she's carrying. It's a hormonal thing and hormones don't care about logic.
