My money's on Kyle. If it had been Sean then why would he have given Stacey the key in the first place?

Well, looks like Stacey lucked out in avoiding telling Shabs the truth...again. Ever notice that when some characters are about to tell someone a shocking truth, something happens that stops it?

Good thinking peeps that Phil hasn't really kidnapped Pearl. It seems highly out of character, although his ordeal at Gavin's hands (the whole story of which I don't believe we know) could have changed him I suppose.

Normally I would agree, as Phil never struck me as the kidnapping type, however, he has changed a lot in the last months. Being kidnapped, dealing with the stress of it, and alcohol will do that to you. Actually, just the alcohol will do that. I've read and seen a lot of dramas about people dealing with drinking, and how they use it as an excuse to do a lot of bad things. Plus, this wouldn't be the first time. Remember the time when Phil was on drugs, and he ended up burning the Vic down? He turned against his own mom, burned down her home, and despite the whole place being up in flames, he still kept trying to steal the money out of the till. (I know drugs isn't alcohol, but it's still an addiction, the same as any other.) Personally, I doubt there's anything that Phil wouldn't do.

I've been thinking up theories on the upcoming storyline with Phil's daughter Louise. Now, Phil is to be diagnosed with Cirrhosis of the Liver, and Louise is meant to be making an appearance early next year. I'm guessing the 2 stories will be connected somehow. I've looked up the disease, and some of the possible treatments is a transplant, which "involves removing a segment of liver from a healthy living donor and implanting it into a recipient. Both the donor and recipient liver segments will grow to normal size in a few weeks". Maybe Louise is a compatible donor, and she saves his life by donating part of her liver?

I like the theory of Louise being brought back as a liver donor, although I'm not sure a fourteen year old would be allowed to do so (we've been discussing on another thread that donating part of your liver is dangerous). She'd certainly need her mother's permission (and Lisa despises Phil).

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

if vincent is eric's son him or grant to donate to save phil, i would think an older person's liver would be better, nearer victim's age

[Perdita]

Googled this and found:

Donors must be less than 55 years old, because the liver doesn't grow back as well in older people.

No doubt, older donors have been used successfully too though

I agree that Jane's injuries from the fall are being focused on a suspicious amount. I did think maybe she had quite a serious injury that would have further repercussions, but she's been examined by doctors now so it seems that won't happen. It's probably all going to come out in a huge showdown on Christmas Day.

But Sharon needs to be talking about how Bobby pushed Jane down the stairs and mentioning he killed Lucy so that Dennis can overhear ...

[sarah c]

I thought we got to the stage where Bobby and denny both had new bikes for Xmas, and in trying to out do each other Denny has an accident (or Bobby causes one)

this is when Sharon goes mad and starts saying Bobby is a danger etc?

that could be when it comes to light?

[lizann]

denny tells bobby he killed lucy as he overhears

[parkerman]

denny tells bobby he killed lucy as he overhears

Isn't this a spoiler?
