Judging by the photo, Yasmeen has a new job at Roy's Rolls, or is at least helping out while Shona's away...
ReplyDeletePhelan sees the light thanks to his newfound daughter ? Let's hope he eventually gets punished for his ill doings, which include murder!!
ReplyDeleteMore new cast members? They can't find enough storylines for the cast they have already! Cast needs culling, not expanding.
ReplyDeleteAnon 8:57, I agree completely! There are so many cast members that are woefully underused and they bring in more.
ReplyDeleteIs Phelan going to remain in the show forever, getting away with what he has done? Unbelievable.
I'm also reading into this, that Phelan's daughter is going to be his redemption? That's pretty poor justice for Michael and Andy!
ReplyDeleteJust sayin'!
I agree with all the above comments and would like to ask is another drug dealer really necessaryy?
ReplyDelete!First Callum,then Adam [sort of[ and now a friend of Robert's?!
Hmm,I wonder if Michelle will flirt with him too?
ReplyDeleteIs the drug dealer just passing through? Once Daniel has his overdose the jig is up, people will know where they came from (Robert certainly wouldn't want him around)......OR are they going to save a male this time a la Becky/Kylie/Gemma/Shona?? That'd be something *yawn*
Too many coincidences on the street (Nicola/Phelan,Shona/David's wallet/Bethany's pimp/Rob escaping during Ken's attack) couldn't she have just needed an organ donor and gone looking for dear ol' dad?
Finally...Summer. The child of a dear friend who has not been mentioned once by Billy in the whole time he was on the street. Where is the little dear going to live? Suppose they could fit her in the cubby hole under the stairs, they could even make it look like a little hobbit hole.
What's going on with Dev? Rana and Zee?Emily? Sean and Norris**there's a goldmine right there**
