    when the rovers got refurbed after the fire why did they have the bar in the same position? its totally absurd that they have that much back bar when, the front of bar area is so tiny. stick a few tables and chairs behind the bar and you could quadruple capacity!

    and dont get me started on staffing levels. a back street boozer that size would only have 1 person on 90% of the time, yet in the middle of the day there are 3 people on shift reguarly.

    If Tina is one of the 3 then it may as well be 2 staff on as she is always off on a break or being sent home early or leaving and not bothering to finish her shift.

    Maybe the garage, like the houses, is also built with Time Lord technology and now incorporates a hotel :)

    It made for uncomfortable viewing as it was, that would have been sickening. I don't like the S/L anyway, not one bit - and as if Owen would have rolled over and taken it (like Anna now has!) in the first place, have we all forgotten he's a supposed tough man?!

    Agreed.

    Possibly, who knows? He's a very shrewd operator and is highly manipulative (he sounds like a bit of a sociopath from his own description of himself).
    I'm wondering if the copy of the 'security tape' is in fact, a copy of Phelan & Anna in the hotel room? It would be his final trump card to destroy Owen. :o

    What clothes would they have at his house?

    Ha! I thought the same thing. :D

    Can someone remind me who owes what to who? Didn't Owen and Phelan start off in partnership? Did they invest equal amounts? If Owen made an investment wouldn't he and Phelan both be 'bosses'?

    So when Gary hit Phelan he said he wouldn't report him if they worked for nothing? When they were caught stealing tiles did Phelan then say they would work for less than nothing ?!!

    My mind is so confused over all this. So now Phelan has released them, are they going to get anything when the flats are finally built?

    Has Phelan got any replacements for Owen and Gary. Anybody would be quicker than those two as they seem to spend most of the time discussing how they were going to get their revenge on Phelan !

    When Gary hit phelan he told them they would get their investment back (80k) but none of the profits.

    When they nicked the tiles he told them they wouldn't get their 80k investment back either and would just work for a daily rate.

    They will now get nothing back and have lost their 80k investment as well.

    I'm confused too but my understanding from tonight was that he has released them from the work contract but is still keeping the £80K Owen put in the project.

    As he has given them back the disc (maybe ?) they could start chasing after him for the money couldn't they ?

    EDIT: roverboy1965 explained it better than I ever could. :D
    Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest when money's tight, Anna goes to see Phelan. He proposes a few more bunk ups and she gets some cash.

    As has been hinted, I cannot Phelan letting them get away so easily. If he didn't video his passion with Anna, it would be his word against hers that it ever happened ... except when Anna was supposed to be working late at the cafe, she bumped into somebody when she got off the bus? Who was that? Surely she didn't bump into someone for no reason, and that may come out later!

    She bumped into Jenna who said she wouldn't tell Roy she'd been skiving in town.

    Anna then was quite rude and abrupt with Jenna.

    Maybe she gets too much attention from men if she doesn't :)

    Liam at nursery? - but he will be 5 in July so he should have started school last September.

    Reception year starts in the September after a child turns 4.

    I thought he went to a child minder as was mentioned last week, when she was ill. Do children usually go to nursery and a child minder? :confused:

    Has Anna ever been married? She wasn't married to Gary's father, the guy who made cakes, I can't remember his name.

    They can do. A child-minder would collect the child from nursery, and maybe take them if the parents were working.

    Not sure where the Phelan thing is gonna lead.

    Surely he is planning to spill to Owen what Anna's done. But how does he know that won't lead to his own wife finding out ? Unless he doesn't actually care about her knowing ?

    We already know that she knows what he's like and doesn't care. She's only interested in the lifestyle being married to him brings.

    The contract. Didn't they sign a contract when Owen put his half of the money £80000. There must have been some sort of clause in a contract of partnership. Sorry I don't understand the legalities.

    And she would be able to be prevented from coming near Tyrone at least while she was on Parole and Tyrone could probably get a protection order against her coming near him and Ruby.
    .

    I don't understand how Tyrone has been given complete custody of Ruby, and now appears to be accepted by all and sundry as her legal guardian with no checks from social workers even though he was not named as the father on Ruby's birth certificate! He could well have been any bloke off the street as far as the law was concerned :o:o

    Don't get me wrong, I love Tyrone and am so glad he has ended up with Ruby but don't understand how he has been allowed to keep her unless Kirsty had a change of heart and put his name on the birth certificate acknowledging him as the father. Have I missed something?

    Compulsory education starts the term after the child's fifth birthday, although most seem to start at four.

    I didn't even think of that! It's obvious that Gary and Owen would be the ones who would want to watch the DVD first to see exactly what is on it........if it's Phelan and Anna, it will lead to ructions :)

    Ooh what a wonderful idea - I never thought of that! I really hope this is the case.

    I loved it last night when Phelan was making Anna squirm, with his little references to their knobbing session. Just how stupid is Anna? Does she really think that that will be the end of it all? Does she honestly believe that Phelan won't find more ways to get her on her back?

    I'm loving Phelan at the moment; he's such a hateful character, a real pantomime villian. Boo, hiss!!
