Isn't this a spoiler?

yes it is im sorry

[Glen1]

So, correct me if I'm wrong, a drunken Phil takes Pearl , gives her to Honey to look after , who appears to have accepted this event as perfectly OK ! Honey then hides Pearl behind a side screen. Leaves Pearl unattended whilst she watches the children on stage. Then to cap it all when confronted by Kim says "I know I'm not the best child minder in the world"
Secondly, what was all the whispering about whilst Martin was talking to Stacey , thought the sound had gone mute on the TV.

Honey was previously telling Billy not to have anything to do with the Mitchells but she takes baby Pearl from drunk Phil

I really like this new Martin and poor him when he discovers the truth and I think Stacey does want Kush to tell Shabham despite her protests

Why is Linda trying to unite Mick and Shirley

Jade is a great well played by the actress

Is Shabham and Massods completely staying away from Jade

[Glen1]

I too still don't understand why Linda is going overboard to bring Mick and Shirley together. Jade has been well casted . No recognition by Jade of Shabnam in the café. Can't blame Jade really.

They waved at each other

Must have missed that bit, pleased they're keeping a good relationship.

Best bit of tonight's episode was Jade, Shabnam and Phil. Steve McFadden is quite brilliant as an alcoholic and is also very funny. I was smiling when he was winding up Vincent. Richard Blackwood cannot play tough, he just make's me laugh out loud for all the wrong reasons, saying that an enjoyable episode, even with a pretty poor script and some dodgy acting.

It was an enjoyable episode. Mad, drunk Phil is always entertaining and Steve McFadden makes Phil's inhuman invincibility almost believable. His gleefulness had me in stitches, especially his "don't let the door bang on your way out" in reply to Sharon's umpteenth threat to leave. If she doesn't leave now she never will...

Jade's a real natural and I hope we see lots more of her.

Agreed Linda trying to mend Mick and Shirley's relationship is inexplicable, especially because Shirley's manner is as aggressive as ever towards her.

Martin's certainly changed in the year or so he's been back. He started off as an unreliable, laddish mess and is now the perfect partner and father. Just in time to wring every ounce of our sympathy for when he discovers the awful truth.

It was strange how Vincent appeared to believe Phil straight away about his father being alive. No matter how convincing he found Phil (who wasn't that convincing because he was too busy laughing ), you'd think he'd at least question the assertion that his dad did a runner. After all, he's presumably had decades of Claudette bemoaning her husband's murder at the hands of Eric. Instead, he deflated like a balloon at the news.

Considering he was promising his mom to kill Phil by the end of the next day, I'm not sure we should believe Vincent's seeming acceptance of Phil's story.

Ronnie's due to make a decision of which family to back up tomorrow; the Mitchells or the Hubbards. Considering Phil is due to have a storyline involving his liver, I'm guessing Ronnie is gonna choose to stick with her family. Pity, as I would have enjoyed her finally realising what a no-hope Phil is, and teamed up with Vincent. Seriously, what's Phil got to do before people finally click on to what a scumbag he is??? I hope he gets his comeuppance.
