Chrissie has paid Ross to do jobs for her on several occasions since she found out he was one of the ones who broke in, so he's more useful to her as an ally so she'd have no reason to drop him in it to Lawrence. And Robert can't say anything either since he was behind it in the first place, and Lawrence would make sure Robert would take most of the blame.

The only reason Lawrence thought it was Ross in the first place was because Chrissie said she recognised the voice, but after Lawrence thrashed Ross's stuff, Finn gave him an alibi and Chrissie found out it was Robert behind it (but decided to protect her husband) she admitted she was wrong about Ross. So Lawrence hasn't a clue and he did tell Ross at the time that he owed him a favour.

Beautifully summarised! I was a bit dodgy on the ins and outs but yes, I remember it all now!

Surely Lawrence knows by now it was Ross and Aaron that broke in to Home Farm and that Finn's alibi was false? Why would Chrissie not have told him all of Robert's misdeeds when she found out about the Robert/Aaron affair?

I don't think Chrissie told her father that Robert staged the break in with Aaron and Ross, Chrissie did think it was Ross by his voice so Lawrence arranged payback on him and other Bartons i.e. Moira's farm but Finn did give Ross an alibi

Despite the crack to the back of his head, Ross is alive with no head injury so Pete didn't kill him isn't it great

It just brought about all the symptoms of death, such as no heartbeat, rigor mortis, decomposition... but he was lucky, the effects just wore off him.

:pac:

Chrissy confessed to starting the fire which caused the deaths and has just buggered off on hols. Was she charged? Surely by now the police would've been asking her more questions and Robert for giving false information. Poor writing ever since the accident.

Radio5

Yes very poor writing. It's as if they did a lot of work for the big disaster week and forgot the follow on.

Ross was in a coma with serious head injuries last week and has an embolism (which I think is quite serious) and yet he's out and about like there's nothing wrong with him.

Chrissy gone to stay with her sister Rebecca who doesn't seem to live far away but we've never seen her as yet. She hasn't been charged with any crime at all.

Robert was able to go abroad on business despite the police investigation!

It's saying something when Jai's drug habit seems interesting.

Nice chat between Pete and Andy about the whole "what to do when your brother gets with your girlfriend and wrecks your life" experience.

Have found some of the recent episodes to be a bit meh to be honest, probably just me though.

Only thing is I find Eric to be playing a blinder , I know some people might find it a bit OTT but grief is a strange beast of it's own and have seen someone affected by it in much the same way as Eric is portraying so I think his acting is top notch as usual

I was actually quite interested to see where they bring the Jai and Coke thing, I'm not sure I've seen many soaps dealing with "recreational" drug abuse, of course there was Holly Barton with her heroin, but she was a good girl going to Uni and then it seemed to be BANG she's robbing Ketamine off the vets.

Exactly, that has bugged me from the start of this whole story!

Natalie Anderson has explained character Alicia Metcalfe's decision to leave the village and her husband David behind next week.

Upcoming episodes will Alicia and David will reach the end of the road as they fail to reach an agreement on their future.

Since arriving back in the village to support Eric following Val's death, it has become clear that the couple have very different ideas over what to do next.

The pair's differences increase next week David takes steps to regain ownership of the shop, prompting a concerned Alicia to try and take action.

When Alicia's attempts to help Eric move forward backfires, she is horrified to hear David bad-mouthing her and he later questions her over how much she has changed.

With David keen to move back to the village to look after his dad, and Alicia unable to settle there after what she has been through, it seems that the pair are destined to to live their lives apart.

Anderson said: "Portugal is bright and sunny and Alicia felt that she had a future again. Thus whole thing with Val has just reminded her of how dark the village really is.

"The village was a place that she loved very much, but at the moment it just holds very dark memories for her. Not just with Lachlan but with Cameron as well and now Val's death - there are a lot of painful memories for her."

"David never wanted to go to Portugal in the first place and obviously his dad Eric is in a really bad way following Val's death.

"Also, there is a kind of excuse there that with Eric being in such a bad way, he gets to stay around for Amba and he starts talking about buying the shop back. His life is very much in the village and he didn't want to leave in the first place."
