The kidnap story line was very unbelievable, no way that child would have got into the back of a van like that - he is far too intelligent , I reckon Gary will come to the rescue there he might remember the reg number or something

I'm horrible now but next time Sam is acting the smart little kid and lecturing/correcting the adults. I hope they remind him he's the lad who wondered into a strangers van.

I think it's kinda disappointing they broke Fizz and Tyrone up. Thought they would have been one of the long running couples of the show. They are perfect personality wise for each other.

Yeah they seemed to be one of the few settled couples (even though Tyrone did cheat with Gemma but I try not to think about that). It's a shame that they have absolutely assassinated Tyrone with this storyline, essentially abandoning his daughter to chase after Alina.

They'll probably put him and Fiz back together eventually but as much as I dislike Fiz I'm absolutely on her side in this one.

Some people can be very intelligent but have very little cop-on or street smarts.

Whoever called Sharon "Dick Dastardly" has it spot on. The cat and mouse chasing, frantically doing things behind Devs back, it's all so silly.

That'd be me. Between her ludicrous plots and traps, constantly just missing her capture of those meddling witnesses, and her snivelling phone calls to her angry boss on the phone, she brings to mind the likes of Dick Dastardly, Wile E. Coyote, Tom the Cat, Boris and Natasha, Elmer Fudd, Team Rocket, and various Scooby Doo villains.

All she's missing is a long moustache to twirl and for her to yell "Curses, you haven't seen the last of me" when her latest plan gets thwarted by the oblivious and uncharacteristically unsuspicious Street residents.

Yes I thought we would see more upset angry people

Alina is happy even though her ex boyfriend flatmate has died

What was the nonsense with Steve and his runny face tan and bicycle wheel? He can be funny at times and then a pure gob****e idiot and where is Tracy?

Hopefully. It seems like thay have used Nina & Seb stroyline as bait to catch some new viewers and now they are just putting it on the back burner.
I hope they don't drag it out like this for ages in spits and furts.

Lol! Simon is noticeably bouncy! Even in a 10ft square apt he can get 6 springy steps in from one side to the other. Leanne on the other hand, can squeeze in 7 or 8 angry little clip cloppy ones.

I thought Sam would have pulled a MacGyver with the bits and bobs in the van and built something to help him escape by now.

Purple Mountain

"I'll keep the toad warm for you."
Vomiting here...

Harvey hired the most unconvincing hardman to deliver the threat to Nick.

Pussyhands

What a stupid episode with Yasmeen and the other 2. Trying to get the "3 old mad women in a dysfunctional house" yet the acting of the gingery lady was shocking.

Like ffs, she asked David for a loan of a dog to get rid of a mouse yet David didn't tell her how to actually catch the mouse or do it himself? Now she's not even going to ask a man she knows, she's going to get pest control out? Come on..Even Aliyah!!

JP Liz V1

2 flat Tyrone between his jobs and Alina he will have a heart attack

Pussyhands

Tyrone and Alina skittering about "very special dessert" in the shops. What age are they? Grow up!

I agree, have none of them heard of a mouse trap? and your one on the bike stayed in the cycling position with her bum cocked in the air through out the whole scene:rolleyes: Three women in a house like that would be sitting around reading magazines drinking wine and slating all men:D:D

JP Liz V1

Does Ryan and Alya live also with Yasmeen?

the purple tin

Yasmeen was abused by Geoff, but she is free now, yes? No!
She has swapped him for a pair of selfish cows who have taken over her house and have her chasing round after themcleaning like a skivvy just like Geoff did.
You are supposed to be a whole new strong woman Yazz. Tell them to get tf out of your gaff.

Nick: Don't worry I'll be careful *gets a big old taxi to the street where he Simon and Leanne live and everyone knows him and the people he fears are involves would be waiting for him, and pulls up to his front door with his brother conspicuously waiting outside to receive him*

If he'd met with David or Natasha literally ANYWHERE else, he wouldn't be seen. Sure enough, he rolls out with his bright blue hoodie and is immediately seen by one of Harvey's goons.

Alina ends every sentence with a little laugh or giggle or sometimes a little squeak. It's annoying, (squeak).

Similarly, Sharon ends almost every sentence with a raspy 40-a-day chuckle: heh heh.
Listen out for it.

Brian didn't hear the detective ask Sharon about her nephew Harvey

Where is Rita?

The street really needs a nosy Norris character

I did notice that this episode, when she was talking with the copper, Brian, and the inexplicable three scenes of her hanging out with David and Shona and... buying them food...?

Speaking of whom, David and Shona should be far too impatient, cynical and distrusting to not have yet asked why this rando is hanging around their family like a bad smell, letting herself in and out of their house morning noon and night, and taking an excessive interest in Nick's whereabouts.

Where is Tracy too? Very conspicuous by her absence.

The more I hear Sharon's heh-heh laugh the more it reminds me of Fr Barty Dunne.

Has Evelyn had any dealings with Sharon yet? She's quite a busybody.

Old Battleaxe Blanche would have seen through her in no time. She didn't trust anyone.

Anybody see her in a recurring role in Casualty? She was a chronic alcoholic and a frequent flyer. She'd be in a cubicle pi55ed as a rat. (Dr.) Dylan arrives to see her and out comes that laugh... "Ay up chuck," and she's off. Not many strings on her acting bow.

Abi goes after him as she overhears him talking trash about dead Seb and his death

I hope Corey goes to prison for life

Ann22

Just catching up here. Your man kidnaps Sam right outside his front door with neighbours all about... Are they that stuck for sets? Same as Simon and his mates and the car boot boy, Seb and Nina's assaults...Coreh and mates joyriding..all around the corner from the street with that skip usually in view. They talk about other locations that are obviously just there within spitting distance. Annoys me it does.

There was a time when Shona could not see that one plus one equals two.
Now she is Miss Rationale herself.
Just doesn't hold true.
