Jonathan Harvey is a major hero in this house - whenever his name pops up as writer you know it'll be a great episode. He led the way in bringing real life into the Street...and he never holds back on Twitter!
I really like his novels! Looking forward to the next one!
I also like his nod back to history - Maria giving Auntie Michelle a birthday card from Liam - was this the first time the relationshiр between michelle and Maria and liam has been recognised? Is it also a way for michelle and Maria to be future friends рost carla?
