In light of Nick's moonlight flit and abandonment of his son Sam, this county lines drug dealing storyline is shifting sideways slightly, by way of a blooming friendship between old adversaries, Gail and Natasha. This can only be a good thing! There's no question of Nick, Leanne and Simon's triumvirate of acting prowess, however, this well needed humour injection is what's needed. These two now have common ground to share, and through a masterstroke of retcon paternity, this should give us plenty of future storyline material!
