Freda and the implants for Aled. Now she has kidnapped the little chap to stop the operation. She comes over as the most impossibly selfish woman and I have no sympathy for her. One storyline that has disappointed.

Well tonight's episode was pretty powerful stuff. Kelly and Abby should be up for acting awards.

BlueBelle Tue 28-Dec-21 22:42:33

Yes they were both good tonight for sure

NotTooOld Wed 29-Dec-21 16:50:52

I found all that stuff between Abi and Kelly far too longwinded. I also don't think either of them would have been so forthcoming in the company of the other one. It's time this story line was brought to a close. I'm also tired of hearing about Adam and Sarah trying to get pregnant. Would a middle aged couple make it so obvious?
Would Tyrone be required to sell his house, do you think? I don't think he and Fiz are married and I believe he said last night that only his name is on the deeds, so would she be entitled to half the value of the house? Not sure how that would work. I suppose as Tyrone inherited the house there is no mortgage on it? Any divorce lawyers out there?

Aveline Wed 29-Dec-21 17:48:12

Yes. Not sure how much right Fiz actually has to insist he sells the house. I didn't know they'd bought that flat. I suppose he and Nanna could move into the flat and make way for another family to move in to the house. Hmmm

Doodledog Wed 29-Dec-21 17:56:56

I was wondering that (about Tyrone's house) too.

If there was no mortgage there would be more than £15k of equity in it, though. Even if they'd borrowed enough to improve it since Jack and Vera had it they can't have spent enough on it to wipe out the equity, can they?

It may be Tyrone's house legally, but I think that Fizz has a moral right to a share of it in the circumstances. Most couples would have some sort of arrangement set up, surely? Otherwise it would leave one partner with nothing after years of contributions of one sort or another. Anyway, I reckon that Phil will get his greedy hands on whatever Fizz ends up with, so the less Tyrone passes on the better.

Calendargirl Wed 29-Dec-21 17:59:40

Don’t think Sarah and Adam would be flattered that you class them as middle aged NotTooOld!

love0c Wed 29-Dec-21 18:07:47

I know it isn't real, but the house was left to Tyrone by Jack and Vera. Fizz should get something but certainly not half. I think we ll knew Phil was going to be up to no good!

Grannynannywanny Wed 29-Dec-21 18:15:36

I wonder if Tyrone’s ex Alina is going to arrive back in the street with baby in arms.

Is it just my suspicious nature or does anyone else think Fiz’s boyfriend Phil is way too good to be true? I think there might be more to him than meets the eye. Thank goodness his awful mother didn’t hang around. Her Dame Edna Everidge impersonation was so annoying.

BlueBelle Wed 29-Dec-21 18:19:43

I m getting really muddled up as to when it’s on
On Tuesday but not tonight ! What’s going on with it chopping and changing

Aveline Wed 29-Dec-21 18:32:51

I don't think Phil's up to no good. What's to gain from Fiz and the girls? Any money from the house sale won't be a massive amount and her name is going in the deeds of the new house.
He's maybe just a nice bloke but too much under his mother's thumb. She was ridiculous by the way. Very poor writing and casting

Kandinsky Wed 29-Dec-21 18:43:16

Another one bored stiff with the Abi / Kelly storyline.

Doodledog Wed 29-Dec-21 19:12:02

I don't know, Aveline.

Maybe Phil's house is mortgaged, so Fizz will be saddled with the debt if her name goes on the deeds? She's not an obvious target for gold-diggers, true; but she's vulnerable and solvent, if not wealthy.

Didn't Fizz have money from John Snape's death? It has crossed my mind that Phil might be connected to the Snapes in some way, but I've got too much time on my hands just now grin.

Aveline Wed 29-Dec-21 20:39:02

Oh yes the Stape connection. Still not sure. It's either a way to keep the Fix/Tyrone story going or a way to get new people in. Who knows?! We'll keep watching anyway.

Aveline Wed 29-Dec-21 20:39:40

Fiz. My phone won't believe me when I type it in!

Calendargirl Sat 01-Jan-22 07:27:46

Uh oh, looks like those who predicted a pregnancy for Abi will be proved correct!

shock

Grannynannywanny Sat 01-Jan-22 09:08:13

It seems so long ago since we first speculated on a possible pregnancy for Abi. I think their liaison was late September. She’s not going to be able to conceal it for much longer. This will be interesting.

Calendargirl Sat 01-Jan-22 10:11:04

I suppose she only started sleeping again with Kevin when they went away recently, so can’t pass baby off as his?

Even Kev might be able to do the maths!

Rosina Sat 01-Jan-22 10:25:48

Kev will need to cope with this pregnancy calmly and with complete acceptance. He really can't get nasty about it when you consider Jack....
On the subject of Tyrone's house - I also thought he could remortgage it and pay Fiz, he surely doesn't need to sell it. As for having made improvements since Jack and Vera left it to him - I do wish he would change the migraine inducing blue floral wallpaper.

Grannynannywanny Sat 01-Jan-22 10:33:31

My memory is hazy on Jack. Was he born after a fling between Kevin and Tyrone’s then girlfriend?

Aveline Sat 01-Jan-22 10:37:40

Abi might find it hard to explain away that the baby will be slightly 'tinted' as Dame Edna would say.
Kevin had an affair with Molly, Tyrone's then girlfriend. Jack must have been the outcome?

JaneJudge Sat 01-Jan-22 10:45:55

I find it very hard to believe they would have slept together in the first place grin

Grannynannywanny Sat 01-Jan-22 11:19:02

Kevin had an affair with Molly, Tyrone's then girlfriend. Jack must have been the outcome?

Molly! That the name. I have a recollection of her lying under a pile of rubble in the corner shop after a tram crashed into it. It must be the unluckiest street in the country.

Aveline Sat 01-Jan-22 11:25:59

She was very annoying though. The scriptwriters had to get rid of her.

Grannynannywanny Sat 01-Jan-22 11:33:05

I was disappointed to see Curtis still on the scene. Looks like that story is going to run on. Poor Emma set up for more heartbreak. Toyah as well, if the pregnancy proceeds and she discovers Imran is the father. Oh dear.

Sarnia Sat 01-Jan-22 11:57:32

I said a while ago I wondered if Abi might get pregnant from her one night stand. If she is, will she tell Kevin? He has put up with a lot from Abi and this may be a bridge too far. If she doesn't own up, what will happen when the baby is born? Kevin may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but even he would know he wasn't the Dad to a dark skinned baby. Curtis clearly has a very long way to go to accept he hasn't got a cardiac problem. Emma may want to support him but Steve may get in the way of that.
