It's surprising that Danielle didn't kick Theo out long before he created a Grindr account. He's not so much blowing hot and cold as climate change in 2035 or the Arctic on a chilly day. He's either physically threatening Todd or making him sausages. It's the day of the court case and Theo manages to keep his powder dry when harassed by opposing counsel; not so much Todd who's sat at the back with nasty Noah who's making homophobic comments from 1971 under his breath. Todd shouts at him and is thrown out, but it makes no difference as Theo is granted joint custody with Danielle. Victory for Team Thodd! Although I'm not sure it's worth winning with Moaning Millie and Alt-right Miles as the prizes (as an aside, Todd mentioned to Theo his previous peccadilloes such as going into business with Pat Phelan with the express intention of ripping people off, but doesn't mention the time he ran away with Summer in 2017 to escape her grandma and then lived in a wood for 3 years before returning with a different head). Somewhat surprisingly after the case is over, Danielle arrives at the Bistro with the news that Noah's short story arc is over as he is dead. Does anyone know where Gary Windass was at the time?
I love Becky's way of disguising herself from whichever gangsters are lurking around Freshco's car park - it's just putting her hood up. I feel that parka is going to become as iconic as Roy's anorak or Jenny's wig. She's managed to persuade Lisa to help her move house, because that's what you do when you return from the dead to stalk your ex-wife. I know Becky was supposed to be the love of Swain's life but I find it hard to imagine them together - doing the big shop, arguing over who's turn it is to put the bins out etc, there's not much chemistry between them and I'm not just saying that because I'm obviously #TeamSwarla.
Meanwhile, Abi finds out that Creepy Carl didn't spin a sob story to Tracy to get her to back off, but threatened Ken instead. Abi is mad at him but forgives him. And Kevin has to go back to hospital for more tests. Given that he's the Kev that cried wolf, I wouldn't be surprised if Abi didn't believe him but she does. She's pretty credulous, that girl.
And finally, Bernie is back from wherever she went to with some healing crystals for Asha. They didn't work for Paul but I guess their real power is bringing the paramedic story back this week.

What a dreary, dismal episode. No birthday cards or pressies for Roy but a big cake with 1 measly candle on it. No wonder he didn't feel like celebrating and quickly slunk off.
Evelyn has decided to return to uni. Well, it gives Dame Maureen time out whenever she fancies and she can bob back in and out.
Fizz says she's struggling but I'm sure the teen girls can help out with housework and laundry. It won't kill them to help but fiz is one of these parents who don't like to ask them to do anything eg take dorin to the park. So they'll laze about all day while she struggles.
If I were fiz, I'd get back in touch with Alina, explain the situation and ask her to take care of her son.
I'm losing interest in Theo and Todd and Lisa and Becky. Lots of long, drawn, tedious conversations that lead nowhere. I don't know why they killed off noah- probably because that little sub plot needed to be wound up.
Terrible episode..cannot stand the storyline for Todd and Theo.Boring!!
Lisa and Carla are going to have to deal with Becky with the red hair (did she never go out whilst in Spain?She's as pasty as Caspar the Ghost). An impossible situation and totally unbelievable..yawn.
Bernie and her hoodoo voodoo is back-sigh
Loving Ryan, he's the only one who seems normal.
Yikes, Fiz is going to be okay..it's not like she's doing a ton of housework and cooking. The "girls" are not small children, but wondering who minds Dorin in the daytime as he's too young for school...does he go to Cousin Chesney's with the quads?
What a terrible episode.

I thought the quads had started school? I expect Dorin goes to this mysterious child minder, together with Lauren's Frankie and Laila.
I'd be fighting to NOT get any access to Millie and Miles! They are dreadful children. They both need a flick on the legs with a wet tea towel :-D I don't condone violence, but will make an exception with these 2.
Yes, what nonsense. Was Noah murdered by another victim? Didn't a bloke pop up a few weeks ago? Was it the mysterious Owen who arrives next week?
Hard to believe Lisa and Becky were ever a couple. Even not-really-gay Carla is a more credible partner.
