Deedee plays Joel's message to Swain, who thinks it means he wanted to off himself, although Deedee thinks it's all a hoax by her ex. Maybe he read about Phelan and his faked death and was inspired. Swain says good riddance to bad rubbish leavingo D.S. Deedee to do the detecting - she goes to the place of Joel's last location and finds another vehicke near the decoy car, which is later revealed to have been sold to someone meeting Joel's description. Meanwhile, Swain and Kit find a notebook in Joel's flat that proves he wrote his suicide note at home and his death was either planned or faked.
Fortunately Mason chooses to sleep in Speed Daal rather than going to Stu's ex-place, Tent City. Yasmeen is very unkeen on having Mason stay at no. 6, but she capitulates and they smuggle him in under the cover of everyone being busy with other things.
Sarah hands over her voicemail number and PIN to her ex so he can access her messages that she can't get in Turkey. What could go wrong? Adam finds a voicemail from Damon, who somehow has heard about Bethany and who also says there's some money in a lock-up, with deets on how to access it. We don't see if Adam actions this but he does donate £500 to the Bethany stoma fund.
God, I'll be glad when this funeral is over. Now Billy and Bernie are arguing about flowers, FFS. Paul's final weeks and death were moving and now it's just becoming a farce. As an aside, it's funny that Bernie, who is pretty self-centred, has been the one to tame Dev; he is always the supportive one re: the Winter shenanigans, whereas every other girlfriend has been at the whim of Dev's ego. He agrees to fund sending (half of) Paul's ashes into space, at Bernie's request. Weird flex but ok.
Fiz is supposed to have a romantic meal with Ty to make up for the spoiled birthday but she has a funny turn at work and Dr Gaddas is immediately available to diagnose....low blood pressure? Early menopause? No, it's pregnancy, which is kind of funny given that Fiz's real life pregnancies have been covered by i) going to look after Cilla ii) taking Hope to some kind of special school for devil children and iii) Norwich. I can see why Fiz might not want to have another kid, given the way her firstborn turned out. Maybe it'll be a boy this time.

DeeDee not doing her solicitor work again.
ReplyDeleteWhy was Swain appearing in the cafe every 5 minutes airing all the police business to the general public? Though the bloke drinking at the corner table didn’t even look up when DeeDee was having a rant.
Dr Gaddas did not need to ask Fizz about her sex life, all she needed to say was ‘could you be pregnant?’
Adam put DeeDee on gardening leave a few weeks ago until this is sorted.
ReplyDeleteI don't tend to look up if people are having a rant. I leave them to it
I reckon Fizz will have a miscarriage and Ty's sadness will be a motivating factor in getting custody for Dorin. I'm fed up Dee dee, Lisa, Joel, Lauren, Carla, Stu and Mason. Don't they deserve a rest, like Toyah, Nick and Lee-anne? Stu is leaving soon but Allya, Damien, Eileen and Gail are returning. Apparently, Gail is supposed to be in Thailand but I didn't hear anyone explain this. I suspect it wasn't in the original script when Martin Platt was due to show his face. We haven't seen Evelyn, Nina or Glenda for a long while.
ReplyDeleteIt has been documented that due to the financial situation that actors will have longer absences off screen from now on. Hence the reason you don't see certain characters for a while
DeleteThere's a lot of clumsy writing atm and it will get worse when Jesse takes centre stage. How lucky Swain is always on the end of a phone and can immediately hurtle over to wherever she's needed. Police work, legal cases all discussed openly in the pub or Roy's cafe. And Dr Gaddas's question about Fizz's sex life was appalling! Intrusive, unprofessional and definitely not funny.
ReplyDeleteNo miscarriage for Fizz please. She's had enough to put up with already.
ReplyDeleteAside from Jesse being nearly 20 years younger than Gail, he will need quite a personality transplant for her to be interested in him.
