    I didn't enjoy it either (apart for the Mick scenes), although I thought Max escaping was quite funny in a farcical way.

    The twists and turns in this storyline are way out of hand and characters are behaving nonsensically. There was no reason given for Lauren changing her mind about her father yet again. It took about two sentences for Phil to change Sharon's mind from being dead set on getting a divorce.

    Unfortunately, EE is more style than substance at the moment. I get what they're trying to do, and there's no doubt most of us love unexpected twists and thrills, but we also need depth and an insight into characters to make for a satisfactory viewing experience. It's no accident that my favourite scenes tonight were character-led ones of Mick and Shirley quietly talking about their emotional differences.

    If Charlie faked his death, I'd say his motivation would be to punish Ronnie and to bide his time before his next move. Turning Roxy against her sister would definitely punish Ronnie.

    Max is listed for Tuesday and Thursday's episodes.

    I thought he was genuine in trying to get Max off. He could easily protect Ben and Jay by telling the truth if necessary. He admitted the jury foreman was greedy and untrustworthy, but perhaps the latter was simply unable to convince the rest of the jury of Max's innocence. It was a big ask.

    Yes, Shirley needs to play a big part in Dean's downfall in order to redeem her - in our eyes and her family's.

    Max Branning running was the funniest thing I'd seen on EE for a long long time. Hilarious.

    Did we see Phil ask him to find him not guilty? It's good either way for Phil, probably more fun if Max goes down as revenge and cos it protects the boys.

    I did mention some time ago that the court scenes were just awaiting the arrival of Brian Rix with his trousers falling down to be cross examined by Coco the Clown. It seems the scriptwriters were reading this board!

    No, we didn't see what Phil said to the foreman and we only have his word for what went down between them. Although I said I think Phil was telling the truth that he bribed him to get a not guilty verdict, the truth is we can't trust anything he says.

    It's a shame it was probably intended to be deadly serious.
