Is anyone still listening or have you given up?

I am puzzled as to why no-one has asked why George was there in the first place. We know how he arrived there, but presumably the other characters did not know.

I think he told Alistair the party was rubbish so he was walking home and just happened to be at the bridge when the accident happened.

The absence of any sort of police investigation (that we know of) makes the whole storyline complete nonsense.

Galaxy we known that she's been there to drink before.
She doesn't want to be seen drinking so went out of the way.

Wyllow3 Fri 17-May-24 17:52:52

Good question re police, I don't know.

merlotgran Fri 17-May-24 19:45:43

Having heard tonight’s episode at least we now know Alice has been bailed and is awaiting a court case so she must have been charged

Wyllow3 Fri 17-May-24 20:59:54

How much of an investigation there will be tho. (just want the truth about George to come out. he appears to be lapping it up atm - interviews with newspaper etc. angry

Galaxy Fri 17-May-24 21:44:37

I think he will confess to someone. Will maybe or Chelsea.

NotSpaghetti Sat 18-May-24 00:24:12

I also think it will come out but it would be better for the plot if it sat thete for a very long time....

Farzanah Sat 18-May-24 10:23:25

Yes George’s guilt will not be uncovered until many a long day has passed, and plenty of hints dropped.

Hope Tom sharing how he felt about losing Wren got through to Harrison. He was starting to look as if he could lose both his relationship and his job.

Farzanah Fri 24-May-24 09:01:59

I think Harrison’s reaction is being over played, but I suppose it’s bringing to light a major rift in his and Fallon’s relationship. So watch this space. He seems to have changed character.

Luckygirl3 Fri 24-May-24 13:04:52

Major rift indeed - he will now be mega-broody and she will still not want children.

NotSpaghetti Fri 24-May-24 13:17:58

OR he will remember that he told her he could live without!
🤔

I’m waiting for Fallon to drop the bombshell that such is her desire not to have children, she would have considered terminating the pregnancy had she not miscarried.

Farzanah Fri 24-May-24 15:02:55

Yes Merlot 😱
Their relationship seems doomed.

Luckygirl3 Sat 25-May-24 10:15:21

Not sure what the whole Mick/Joy thing is about - but it's jolly boring!

Galaxy Sat 25-May-24 10:59:59

I guess she is estranged from Rochelle.

They have also got very different feelings about Alice. Harrison is so punitive he attempted to push his boss towards max charges. Fallon is Alice's friend and is considering Martha. Also she was really shocked at how Harrison shouted at Alice, tho I think she understand that more now.

I just wish so much the stuff about George comes out. Then wondering how Harrison would react then. He deliberately moved Alice into the drivers seat - possible Peverting the course of Justice.

Farzanah Sat 25-May-24 16:54:16

When Harrison and Fallon previously discussed having children she was adamant that she didn’t want any, and he seemingly accepted this. However as time has passed the urge to become a father has grown and when the possibility arose he was thrilled, and was planning the future with excitement, ignoring Fallon’s feelings. He is now suffering a bereavement as much as any prospective mother might, which is causing him to over react with anger towards Alice.

It is understandable in a way, but probably spells the end for him and Fallon.

I don’t think Rochelle exists. What’s the point in this storyline if not to highlight the longing of a childless woman or man. Joy can’t have children so she made one up but thanks to Mick’s meddling she’s in danger of being found out.

Harrison’s reaction will be interesting. 🤔

Wyllow3 Sat 25-May-24 17:42:29

Now thats intriguing. cant recall - was Rochelle not in the purloined address book then?

She was but she didn’t live there and I don’t think there was ever a ‘Rochelle’ at the hospital either.

Can’t wait to find out. 😂

Galaxy Sat 25-May-24 18:25:14

If she is writing addresses for a made up daughter in her address book then to put it brutally she is not very well. If at one point Rochelle lived at that address and because of estrangement Joy no longer knows her correct address that is more reasonable.

Galaxy Sat 25-May-24 18:26:15

Either way she wasnt at the hospital.

Elrel Sat 25-May-24 23:27:14

Merlotgran - I was also beginning to think that Rochelle didn't exist.

NotSpaghetti Sun 26-May-24 00:12:36

When did the possibility of children and planning a future with them happen (re Harrison) please?
I seem to have missed this Farzanah
