When he did discover he had a grandson, he immediately took him in (following Susan's death). Peter, however, was in on Susan's secret. That said, I do agree with your comments about Ken's self-righteousness.Cobblestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01636002429906543635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-9645904997814711122017-03-11T15:32:11.396+00:002017-03-11T15:32:11.396+00:00That's the thing, I don't mind characters ...That's the thing, I don't mind characters getting pregnant ( though it's a very well-worn cliché and writers could try harder to create stories). We all know contraception can fail. What I mind is when smart characters get in this predicament by acting as if they had no idea it could happen.

Especially with a new partner, condoms are essential to avoiding STDs. Daniel might say he was a virgin, but how would Sinead know he was telling the truth? In general, I think the storyline presents the wrong message. With a new, unknown partner, condoms are just common sense, at least until both parties have been able to get tested.

Alas, it did not soften Grandad Ken. I was shocked when he rifled through Adam's room, including his closet, and left with a bag of money. Then to top it off.....instead of realizing that this could mean big trouble for Adam - he burns it! OMG Over the top Ken Barlow.
