WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?
Les is determined to go to the bail hearing - he wants the evil yobs who killed Paul to look him in the eye. At court, Pam nips to the loo and lends a distraught woman her hankie. During the hearing, Pam discovers the woman is Diane Atmore, the mother of Simon, one of Paul’s killers. As Pam and Les arrive home, Les is still ranting about injustice and takes his ire out on the recycling. Pam lectures Les about his blood pressure. She implores him to stop shutting her out and tells him she fears that if he doesn’t ‘do’ Christine they won’t survive this.
Tina’s heartbroken when Sonia reveals she’s leaving tomorrow - Kettering have asked her to start next week. Sonia feels guilty that Tina’s so upset. Bex is skipping school to move her belongings over to Sonia and Martin’s. Bex accuses Sonia of trying to ruin her life.
Shirley’s frustrated when Sylvie refuses to have breakfast at home then disappears when Shirley’s back’s turned. Shirley follows Sylvie to the Vic and shouts at her, before insisting to the others that she can’t look after Sylvie. Tina suggests they come up with a rota for Sylvie’s care. Sonia’s also in the Vic with Martin. She’s having doubts about taking the job, worried that Bex will never forgive her, but Martin thinks she deserves to be happy.
Sonia feels betrayed when she hears the Carters debating whether it’s right for her to go and work privately after being trained by the NHS. She’s sharp with Tina, unaware Tina was actually defending her. Shirley follows Sonia out of the Vic and confronts her in the market –Tina will probably have to give up the house now Sonia’s leaving and how is she meant to look after Sylvie? Turning on Shirley, Sonia reminds her that up until now the Carters have turned down every bit of help Sylvie’s entitled to and left all the work to her. Sylvie’s not her mother – she’s Shirley’s. Lauren and Whitney discuss the difficulties of not having their own space and family always being around. Lauren feels like she spends her life cleaning or shutting Louie up. Whitney thinks Lucy would be grateful for what Lauren’s doing but Lauren counters that Lucy would be trying to rent Jack’s last available flat. Inspired, Whitney suggests to Lee that they rent the flat.
Mick tells Lee he can’t give them the deposit they need but will talk to Jack. Linda’s not impressed by the idea of Whitney and Lee moving and worries it’s her fault. When Mick reveals Jack can’t offer them a better deal on the flat Lee feels worthless – he doesn’t earn nearly enough to rent it. His mood dips even further when he sees Jack greeting a professional looking couple outside the flat.
Denise surreptitiously looks up information on adoption on her phone. Kim’s still insistent she wants to adopt Denise’s baby but Patrick realises this is a ploy to change Denise’s mind, knowing Denise wouldn’t be able to watch Kim bring up her baby from across the Square. But Kim is worried her plan could fall apart - Denise’s unpredictable and could leave, anything could happen next.
The residents of Walford are confused and annoyed when new brown, grey and blue recycling containers are left outside each house alongside the standard black and green bins.
Tina’s heartbroken when Sonia reveals she’s leaving tomorrow - Kettering have asked her to start next week. Sonia feels guilty that Tina’s so upset. Bex is skipping school to move her belongings over to Sonia and Martin’s. Bex accuses Sonia of trying to ruin her life.

Evening All, no idea what happened last night as I havent had time to catch up
Thank you Krusty
Will bear that in mind for next time JB
And good evening to you
Thank you Rick!
Thanks Scrabs, and howdy to you too.
Congratulations on your 30,000 posts too!
You make me sound old
Not yet
Sonia totally owned Shirley and there was something about bins,
Cheers
Seemingly Brad was playing away again
Thank you Foxy
Last night was decent (:o) with Sonia ripping the sh*t into Shirley and Mick saying that Jack had a thing for him so he could use it to get Lee and Whitney a flat.
He couldn't resist me
Nooo, I refuse to believe that lovely Marion Cotillard would ever be 'the other woman'. She's too classy for that.
Sonia has been great this past week. :eek:
Evening all.

*New* DS Enders has been posted in the games room. Lea Silver makes her debut in 'Insomnia'.
Lol you sly dog, Aar.
We'll probably have a forcefully inserted scene with two characters who never speak suddenly saying what a shock it was that they have split up in the middle of the episode. One of them will probably be Linda (heavily pregnant Kellie) again, knowing them.
Can the Mick/Jack thing just become a reality? :kitty:
The way SOC is going, there's probably nobody on set anymore. It will end up being a conversation between the Max Branning arse tattoo and Shakil.
